Family-sized Edwardian housing with reliable demand from both private tenants and Haringey placements.
Redwood Residences is a London-based Registered Provider. In Hornsey 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 Hornsey
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 Hornsey
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 Hornsey?
We are actively buying residential assets across North 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 Haringey
We hold Registered Provider status, which allows us to place stock directly with boroughs for temporary and settled accommodation. For an owner in Hornsey 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.

Hornsey's Edwardian houses and the tenants who want them
Hornsey is known for family-sized Edwardian housing. Long terraces of three and four-bedroom houses run through Hornsey Vale, the roads off Tottenham Lane and the grid of the Harringay Ladder between Green Lanes and Wightman Road, with Crouch End providing the shops, cafés and schools that families look for.
Demand for these homes is reliable and comes from two directions. Private tenants, often families and professionals who cannot yet buy locally, want space and a garden. At the same time, the London Borough of Haringey places households in the area, and a well-kept family house is exactly what housing partners need.
Transport is rail and bus rather than Tube. Hornsey and Harringay stations have Great Northern services into central London, Turnpike Lane on the Piccadilly line is close to the eastern side, and Crouch End relies on buses to reach Finsbury Park and Highgate. Alexandra Palace and its park sit just to the north.
Some of the larger houses have been converted into flats over the years, so N8 landlords may own a whole house or a single flat within one.
Step by step: guaranteed rent on a Hornsey house
Stage one: see the two figures
Our free online valuation takes around 90 seconds. For your N8 address it shows a guaranteed figure and a market-rent figure together.
Stage two: a survey of the house, not just the rooms
Edwardian homes have their own habits: older wiring, original sash windows, damp in rear extensions, boilers in awkward places. We check these alongside certificates and alarms and tell you what, if anything, must be done before a family moves in.
Stage three: the lease
You agree a term with Redwood Residences, typically 3 to 10 years. The household living in the house has its arrangement with us, not with you.
Stage four: payment
The first payment arrives within 7 days of signing, then every month for the full term, regardless of occupancy.

Is a rent guarantee better than managed letting in Hornsey?
For a large period house, both routes can work well. The better choice depends on how much certainty you want and how involved you want to be.
| Rent guarantee | Managed letting | |
|---|---|---|
| Your monthly income | Agreed at the outset and unchanged | The rent achieved, less a fee |
| A family moves out | Payments continue | No rent until the next let |
| Unpaid rent | Our problem | Yours to absorb |
| What we charge | No management fee | Management fee as published |
| Period-house upkeep | Routine work by our engineers | Our engineers, billed to you |
| Ideal owner | Wants a long, predictable income | Wants full market rent and is happy to be involved |
What twelve months can look like for a Hornsey landlord
Looking after older homes: property management in Hornsey
Property management in Hornsey is largely about keeping older buildings in good order. Our in-house maintenance teams handle repairs directly, which avoids the delays of passing jobs between subcontractors.
For market-rent lets we provide tenant find, referencing, deposit protection, rent collection, inspections and full management. HMO management is available for larger houses let to sharers.
Compliance is tracked centrally for each property:
- gas safety checks every year
- an EICR at least every five years, which is especially relevant in houses with older circuits
- smoke alarms on every storey and carbon monoxide alarms where required
- an EPC of at least E, which can take work in solid-walled period homes
- licensing: check whether Haringey requires a property licence for your address, and we confirm the position before onboarding
Our compliance and maintenance page explains how we keep on top of each deadline.

Which Hornsey owners does this suit?
Accidental landlords. People who bought in N8 to raise a family, moved away and kept the house. A lease gives them income without managing tenants from a distance.
Long-term owners planning ahead. Landlords who have held a Hornsey house for many years and want a predictable income for a set period.
Owners of converted houses. Landlords with two or three flats in one building who would like a single agreement covering all of them.
Landlords leaving their current agent. If you already use a letting agent in Hornsey but repairs drag on or rent arrives late, we can take over management or move the house to a lease once the existing arrangement allows. We handle the transfer of certificates and records.
Landlords who have held a Hornsey house for years often want one thing now: a predictable income for a set period.
