Why £1,100
It sits in the lower middle of the range and matches your own recent letting, the strongest evidence after the tribunal decision. A figure at this level is easier for your tenant to accept, and easier to defend if they refer it.

Dear Sam and Priya,
Thank you for looking after the flat so well. As we discussed on [date], I'm proposing to increase the rent from £1,050 to £1,100 a month, starting on 15 January 2027.
I've enclosed the official notice, Form 4A, and a one-page summary of the local evidence I used. Similar flats nearby are letting for between £1,090 and £1,125 a month, so I've set the new rent towards the lower end of that range.
If you'd like to talk it through, please call me on [phone number]. You also have the right to ask a tribunal to decide the rent, and section 5 of the form explains how.
Kind regards,
[Your name]
