How much rent can I claim back in Bexley?
The cap, in local numbers
The ONS sample for Bexley is too thin to quote a median honestly. The tribunal uses your actual rent paid, never an area average — so pull the figure from your tenancy agreement and bank statements.
Then the deductions bite
- Universal Credit housing element paid for you is subtracted — bring every award letter (details).
- Bills included in rent trim the award by the utility share (the *Acheampong v Roman* approach).
- s.44 conduct moves the final number on both sides’ behaviour.
Worked illustration
Illustration at the national median room rent (£495/month, ONS): a full 24-month claim nets roughly £7,900 after typical deductions — your rent decides.
Against whom, and where
Filed with the Residential property: London region: London.Rap@justice.gov.uk, 0207 446 7730 — region details. A claims agency charging 30% would keep about a third of whatever the number turns out to be; the Casewright pack is £149 flat.
