Chairman J A Platt FRICS, FIRPM Date of decision 11 December 2024 MAXIMUM FAIR RENT CALCULATION Address of premises: 63 Warren Road, Hartlepool TS24 9HA Explanatory Note[1]The calculation of the maximum fair rent, in accordance with the formula contained in the Order, is set out above.[2]In summary, the formula provides for the maximum fair rent to be calculated by: a) increasing the previous registered rent by the percentage change in the retail price index (the RPI) since the date of that earlier registration and b) adding a further 7.5% (if the present application was the first since 1 February 1999) or 5% (if it is a second or subsequent application since that date). A 7.5% increase is represented, in the calculation set out above, by the addition of 1.075 to (B) and an increase of 5% is represented by the addition of 1.05 to (B) The result is rounded up to the nearest 50 pence[3]For the purposes of the calculation the latest RPI figure (x) is that published in the calendar month immediately before the month in which the Committee’s fair rent determination was made.[4]The process differs where the tenancy agreement contains a variable service charge and the rent is to be registered as variable under section 71(4) of the Rent Act 1977. In such a case the variable service charge is removed before applying the formula. When the amount determined by the application of the formula is ascertained the service charge is then added to that sum in order to produce the maximum fair rent.
