Comment | House prices have climbed substantially. My landlord let me know last time I saw him he was getting a surveyor out so he could remortgage onto a better LTV rate.
There'd be no need to revalue the place to bump up the rent, so it'd be a silly reason to get a surveyor out. They just can't bump up the rent outside of what market value would be for your place. To check market value, you want to look for properties nearby of a similar spec (bedrooms, furnished/unfurnished, size, quality, etc). Get screenshots/archive the pages showing the equivalent properties. If any rent increase is significantly different from that, then you can dispute it with a tribunal. |
