Guaranteed rent and property management in Greenwich
Fixed monthly income, full management and in-house maintenance for landlords across Greenwich and the SE10 postcodes.
Redwood Residences offers both guaranteed rent in Greenwich and corporate property management for SE10 landlords. Guaranteed rent agreements normally run 3 to 10 years, with a fixed monthly payment whether or not the flat is occupied and no management fees deducted. The first payment is made within 7 days of signing, with the agreement held by Redwood.

A strong corporate and private lettings market, with well-presented flats achieving premium figures.
Redwood Residences is a London-based Registered Provider. In Greenwich 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 Greenwich
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 Greenwich
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 Greenwich?
We are actively buying residential assets across South 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 Royal Borough of Greenwich
We hold Registered Provider status, which allows us to place stock directly with boroughs for temporary and settled accommodation. For an owner in Greenwich 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.

Where does Greenwich lettings demand come from?
Greenwich draws two strong tenant groups: corporate tenants and private professionals. Canary Wharf is a short hop across the river, the City is within easy reach, and the area's setting around Greenwich Park and the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site adds to its appeal for tenants who can afford to be selective.
Transport covers several directions. Greenwich station has both the DLR and Southeastern trains to London Bridge, Cutty Sark is on the DLR, Maze Hill serves the east side of the park, and North Greenwich, on the Greenwich Peninsula, is on the Jubilee line.
The stock splits broadly in two. On the Peninsula and in East Greenwich, modern apartment buildings dominate. Around the town centre and the park, there are Georgian and Victorian houses, many converted into flats. The University of Greenwich, whose Greenwich campus is at the Old Royal Naval College, adds student and staff demand. In SE10, well-presented flats achieve premium figures, and presentation often decides how quickly a home lets.
Corporate lets and property management in Greenwich
For many landlords in Greenwich, managed letting to corporate or private tenants on market terms is a natural fit. Our corporate and private management service includes tenant find, referencing, rent collection and full management, with block management for owners of several units in one building.
Presentation. Corporate tenants expect a flat to be ready on day one. We advise on furnishing and condition before marketing, and our refurbishment team can handle any updating.
Maintenance. Repairs are carried out by our own engineers, not subcontractors, which matters to tenants who expect prompt, consistent service.
Compliance. Gas safety, EICRs, EPCs, fire safety and alarms are tracked centrally. Deposits are protected, fees follow the Tenant Fees Act 2019, and we check whether the Royal Borough of Greenwich requires a property licence for your address before onboarding. Full terms are on our landlord fees page.

When does guaranteed rent make sense for a Greenwich flat?
Guaranteed rent suits Greenwich owners who value a fixed income above the premium the open market might pay. The table shows how the two compare.
| Guaranteed rent | Corporate or private management | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly return | A set figure, paid for the whole term | Market rent, potentially at a premium |
| Changeover periods | Paid throughout | Unpaid until the next tenancy starts |
| Risk of non-payment | With Redwood | With the landlord |
| Management cost | Nothing deducted | Fee on market terms |
| Upkeep | Our in-house engineers, as agreed | Our in-house engineers, charged to the landlord |
| Most suitable for | Overseas owners and those wanting no involvement | Owners of well-presented flats seeking the top figure |
What twelve months can look like for a Greenwich landlord
The guaranteed rent route in Greenwich, briefly
- Check the guaranteed figure and the market figure together with our free 90-second valuation.
- Book a survey. We review condition, presentation, certificates and, for leasehold flats, the lease and service charge.
- Sign a lease or company let with Redwood Residences for a term of typically 3 to 10 years. You contract with Redwood, not the occupier.
- Receive your first guaranteed rent payment within 7 days of signing.
- Continue to receive the same amount monthly while we place a vetted occupier and handle maintenance.
Homes on our guaranteed rent scheme may be placed with vetted private or corporate tenants, or with local authorities and housing partners for temporary or settled accommodation. For an SE10 flat, we tell you the likely placement at the survey stage, so you know who will be living in your property before you commit.
Greenwich rewards well-kept homes. Our in-house teams keep yours that way for the whole term of the agreement.
Redwood Residences lettings team
Which Greenwich owners do we work with?
Overseas and out-of-London investors with Peninsula apartments, who want a local team handling everything. Owners of period flats near the park, who want their property kept to a high standard between tenancies. And landlords switching letting agents in Greenwich because service has slipped or maintenance has been slow.
Owners of several apartments in one Peninsula building, or of a small block elsewhere in SE10, can also bring them under a single management arrangement, with block management covering the shared parts of the building.
If you own across south-east London, our page for landlords in Lewisham covers the neighbouring SE13 market.
