Redwood Residences is a London-based Registered Provider. In East Ham 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 East Ham

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 East Ham

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 East Ham?

We are actively buying residential assets across East London. 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 Newham

We hold Registered Provider status, which allows us to place stock directly with boroughs for temporary and settled accommodation. For an owner in East Ham 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.

East Ham's terraced streets and who rents them

East Ham is built around the family terrace. Street after street of Victorian and Edwardian houses runs off High Street North, High Street South and Barking Road, and these homes change hands and tenants often. For E6 landlords, that constant movement is exactly the churn guaranteed rent in East Ham is designed to take off your hands.

Demand from the London Borough of Newham is sustained. The council's Town Hall stands on Barking Road in East Ham, and the borough's need for family-sized homes, both temporary and settled, does not ease. Private demand comes from households who want a house with a garden within reach of central London.

East Ham station is served by the District and Hammersmith & City lines, giving direct routes to the City, Whitechapel and further west. Further south, E6 takes in Beckton, where the DLR links newer housing to Canning Town and the Royal Docks. Central Park, next to the town centre, is a draw for families.

The property mix is mostly two to four-bedroom terraces, some kept as single houses and some split into flats, with purpose-built blocks more common towards Beckton. Each type suits a different household, which gives landlords in East Ham more than one route to a long, stable let.

A whole East Ham block: the Barking Road Development

Our Barking Road Development is a whole block in East Ham that we manage under a Central Government agreement. It is a useful reference point for any owner of multiple units in E6, because it shows how we run a building end to end: placement, rent, compliance, communal areas and repairs under one team.

For owners of a block or a run of flats, block management covers the shared parts: fire risk assessments, communal lighting and cleaning, door entry and roof or gutter maintenance, alongside the individual flats. Whole buildings can be taken on guaranteed rent as a single agreement, which keeps your paperwork to one contract and one monthly payment.

What happens when you sign an East Ham property with us

First, the figures. Our free valuation takes about 90 seconds and shows a guaranteed number beside a market-rent number for your address.

Next, the visit. We inspect the house, check its certificates and tell you plainly if anything needs doing before placement.

Then, the agreement. You sign with Redwood Residences for a set term, typically 3 to 10 years. Your contract is with us, not the household living there.

Within 7 days, the first payment. After that, rent arrives monthly for the whole term, whether or not the property is occupied.

Throughout, the management. We place vetted households through Newham and other housing partners, or with private and corporate tenants, and our own engineers handle repairs. The guaranteed rent scheme page has more detail.

Where tenants move on frequently, every changeover costs a landlord money and time. That is the main reason family-house owners in E6 look at the guaranteed route.

Portfolio landlords and sellers in East Ham

Some East Ham landlords have built up several terraces over many years, and a number of those houses now need updating. We work with portfolio landlords in two ways.

  • Keep and hand over: put some or all of the portfolio on guaranteed rent or full property management, with HMO management where relevant and compliance tracked centrally.
  • Sell: we actively buy residential property, including tenanted stock and whole blocks, so an exit need not mean evicting anyone. See our acquisitions page.

Every property we manage has annual gas safety checks, an EICR at least every five years, compliant smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, fire safety checks and an EPC of E or above. Check whether the London Borough of Newham requires a property licence for your address; we confirm the position before onboarding.

East Ham landlord questions

Do you offer guaranteed rent in East Ham?
Yes. We offer guaranteed rent agreements of three to ten years on property in East Ham and the surrounding E6 postcodes, paid monthly whether the property is occupied or not.
What kind of property do you take in East Ham?
Flats, houses, HMOs and whole blocks. High turnover of family-sized terraces and sustained council demand. Our Barking Road development is managed under a Central Government agreement here.
How quickly can you start managing my East Ham property?
Once terms are agreed, most properties are onboarded within a fortnight, including compliance checks, inventory and first placement.
Do you buy property in East Ham?
Yes. We are actively acquiring residential assets in East Ham, including tenanted stock and whole blocks, and can give an indicative offer quickly.
Can a tenanted East Ham house join a guaranteed rent scheme?
Sometimes. If a tenant is in place, we review the tenancy, deposit protection and compliance record. We may take over management of the existing tenancy and move to guaranteed rent once it ends, or in some cases buy the property with the tenant in situ. We explain which option suits your house after reviewing the paperwork.
Is council leasing in Newham different from renting to a private tenant?
Yes, in how the home is used, but not in how you are paid. Under guaranteed rent, you lease the property to Redwood and we may place a household through the council or another housing partner. You receive the same fixed monthly payment either way, and Redwood deals with the occupier and the placing body.
How long are guaranteed rent terms in East Ham?
Terms are typically between 3 and 10 years. Family houses in E6 often suit the longer end because council demand for larger homes is steady and a longer term supports a firmer figure. If you expect to need the property back sooner, we can agree a shorter term that fits.
Do you manage whole blocks in East Ham?
Yes. We already manage a whole block on Barking Road under a Central Government agreement. We can take on a building under guaranteed rent or through block management, covering communal areas, fire risk assessments, repairs and compliance, as well as the individual flats, all through our own team.
Who handles repairs on my E6 property?
Our in-house maintenance team, made up of our own engineers rather than subcontractors. The agreement sets out which items we cover and which stay with you, so there is no ambiguity. Compliance checks such as gas safety and electrical testing are scheduled centrally so nothing is missed.
