Affordable family housing with heavy borough demand and reliable guaranteed rent figures.
Redwood Residences is a London-based Registered Provider. In Dagenham we work with private landlords, portfolio owners, developers and the local authority, offering guaranteed rent on agreements of three to ten years, full portfolio and block management, and outright purchase where an owner wants a clean exit.
Guaranteed rent in Dagenham
You receive the same figure every month for the length of the agreement, whether the property is occupied or not. No voids, no arrears, no management fees taken out of the figure and no re-let fees between tenancies. The placement risk sits with us.
Full management in Dagenham
If you would rather chase the highest market rent, we also manage on a standard basis: tenant sourcing and referencing, rent collection, inspections, and gas, electrical, fire and licensing compliance tracked centrally. Repairs are handled by our own engineers rather than subcontractors, so response times hold up.
Selling a property in Dagenham?
We are actively buying residential assets across Essex and the London fringe. Tenanted stock is welcome, whole portfolios are welcome, and there are no viewings, no listings and no chain. See how acquisitions work.
Working with London Borough of Barking and Dagenham
We hold Registered Provider status, which allows us to place stock directly with boroughs for temporary and settled accommodation. For an owner in Dagenham that matters because it widens the pool of demand well beyond the private market, and it is a large part of why a guaranteed figure is possible in the first place.

Signing up for guaranteed rent in Dagenham: the four steps
Most Dagenham landlords who contact us own a single family house, so the process is designed to be simple and quick.
Check the figure
Our free online valuation returns two numbers for your address: a guaranteed rent figure and a market-rent figure.
Let us inspect
We visit to look at condition, layout and safety. On Dagenham's older terraces, that often means checking the boiler, the consumer unit and the alarms, since these determine what work is needed before a let.
Agree the terms
You sign one agreement with Redwood Residences for a term, typically 3 to 10 years, at a fixed monthly figure with repair responsibilities set out in writing.
Receive the first payment
Payment is made within 7 days of signing, then monthly for the full term, occupied or empty, with nothing deducted for management.
Why Dagenham suits family lets and council leasing
Dagenham is one of the clearest family-housing markets on the east London fringe. The Becontree Estate, built between the wars, covers a large part of RM8, RM9 and RM10, and many of its two- and three-bedroom terraced houses are now privately owned and let. Streets around Dagenham Heathway, Becontree and Dagenham East add further terraces and semi-detached houses.
Demand for this kind of home is heavy. Local authorities and housing partners need family-sized, well-maintained accommodation, and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham area is one where that need is felt strongly. Private tenants are drawn by the relative affordability compared with inner London.
Transport helps both groups. Becontree, Dagenham Heathway and Dagenham East are on the District line, Dagenham Dock has c2c services, and Chadwell Heath on the Elizabeth line is close to the northern edge of RM8. The A13 runs along the south of the area.
Because demand for family homes is consistent, guaranteed rent figures here tend to be dependable, which is why council leasing and temporary accommodation placements are a natural fit. Read about our work with local authorities.

Dagenham: guaranteed income against market letting
Landlords in Dagenham usually compare a fixed figure with the market rent they could achieve through a traditional letting agent. Here is how the two options differ.
| Factor | Guaranteed rent with Redwood | Letting on market terms |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly amount | Agreed once, fixed for the term | Set by each tenancy |
| Empty periods | You are still paid | No rent coming in |
| Tenant falls behind | No effect on your payment | Your income drops |
| Deductions | No management fee | Agent's fee each month |
| Upkeep | Our engineers, per the agreement | Our engineers, landlord pays |
| Who it suits | Owners of family houses seeking stability | Owners comfortable with some risk |
For a typical three-bedroom Becontree house, the gap between the two figures is often smaller than landlords expect once fees, changeover gaps and the occasional missed payment are taken into account. That is why many RM8 to RM10 owners opt for the fixed route. Our guaranteed rent service explains the terms in full.
What twelve months can look like for a Dagenham landlord
Managing a Dagenham property: compliance, HMOs and maintenance
If you prefer market rent, our property management service in Dagenham covers tenant find, referencing, rent collection and full management, including deposit protection and Tenant Fees Act 2019 compliance.
Older houses need careful safety management. We track every property centrally for annual gas safety, an EICR at least every five years, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and an EPC of at least E. Where a house falls short, particularly on energy performance, we explain the work needed and our own engineers can carry it out.
Some larger houses are let as HMOs. Mandatory HMO licensing applies nationally where five or more people from two or more households share, and our HMO management covers those. For single-family lets and smaller shares, check whether the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham requires a property licence for your address; we confirm the position before onboarding. Neighbouring Romford and Hornchurch are covered by the same maintenance teams.
