High professional demand alongside significant council placement activity, which keeps rents competitive.

Redwood Residences is a London-based Registered Provider. In Peckham 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 Peckham

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 Peckham

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 Peckham?

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 London Borough of Southwark

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

Peckham's two rental markets, side by side

Peckham has a professional lettings market and a housing placement market operating on the same streets. Young professionals are drawn by Peckham Rye and Queens Road Peckham stations, both served by the London Overground, with Peckham Rye also offering direct National Rail trains into central London. At the same time, there is significant placement activity for households needing temporary and settled homes.

That combination keeps rents competitive and gives SE15 landlords a genuine choice of route. A two-bedroom conversion off Rye Lane might appeal to sharers on a managed let, or to a housing partner seeking a longer placement.

Most of the stock is Victorian. Terraces around Bellenden Road and the streets towards Nunhead have largely been split into flats, while Rye Lane and the surrounding high streets have flats above shops. The borough is the London Borough of Southwark, and landlords in Peckham should confirm Southwark's licensing position for their address before letting.

What happens after you contact us about a Peckham property?

Day one: two numbers

Our free valuation returns a guaranteed rent figure and a market-rent figure for your Peckham postcode in about 90 seconds.

The visit

One of our team inspects the property. For conversions we pay close attention to fire separation between flats, the condition of shared stairways and whether the lease allows letting to a company.

Paperwork and licensing

We gather the gas safety record, EICR and EPC, and confirm whether the London Borough of Southwark requires a property licence at your address. Where it does, we confirm the position before onboarding.

Signing and the 7-day payment

You sign with Redwood Residences for your chosen term. Within 7 days of signing, the first guaranteed rent payment is in your account.

The term itself

We handle occupation, repairs and compliance renewals. You receive the same amount each month.

Peckham has no shortage of tenants. Guaranteed rent means you never have to find, reference or chase one yourself.

Which route pays better in Peckham: rent guarantee or managed let?

On paper, a managed let in SE15 may achieve a higher headline rent. Once fees, empty weeks and the occasional missed payment are counted, the gap can narrow. This comparison shows where the differences sit.

Managing converted flats and HMOs in Peckham

Converted houses bring their own management questions. Who maintains the roof? Is the communal hallway lit and fire-safe? Does each flat have its own gas supply? Our team works through these before a property joins, then keeps them under review.

For shared houses, HMO management covers room lets, communal cleaning arrangements, fire doors and the documentation councils expect. Any house with five or more people from two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence in England.

All repairs go to our own engineers. Gas safety is renewed every year and EICRs at least every five years, with every certificate logged on one central system.

Peckham landlords this tends to suit

Owners of a single converted flat. One property, one monthly payment and no involvement in day-to-day letting.

Landlords switching letting agents in Peckham. If rent statements arrive late or repairs drag on, moving to a fixed arrangement with in-house maintenance is a clean break.

Freeholders of a whole converted house. Several flats can sit under one agreement, which simplifies both the income and the building's upkeep.

Peckham landlord questions

Do you offer guaranteed rent in Peckham?
Yes. We offer guaranteed rent agreements of three to ten years on property in Peckham and the surrounding SE15 postcodes, paid monthly whether the property is occupied or not.
What kind of property do you take in Peckham?
Flats, houses, HMOs and whole blocks. High professional demand alongside significant council placement activity, which keeps rents competitive.
How quickly can you start managing my Peckham property?
Once terms are agreed, most properties are onboarded within a fortnight, including compliance checks, inventory and first placement.
Do you buy property in Peckham?
Yes. We are actively acquiring residential assets in Peckham, including tenanted stock and whole blocks, and can give an indicative offer quickly.
Does the London Borough of Southwark require a licence for my Peckham rental?
It depends on the property and how it is let. Mandatory HMO licensing applies nationally to homes with five or more occupiers from two or more households. Southwark may have further requirements for other property types, so check with the council for your address. We confirm the licensing position for every Peckham property before it joins us.
Can a flat above a shop on Rye Lane go on guaranteed rent?
It can be considered. Flats above commercial premises need careful checks on fire separation, means of escape and access, and the lease or title should permit residential letting. If those points are in order and the flat meets current standards, it is assessed in the same way as any other SE15 property.
Who repairs my Peckham property during a guaranteed rent term?
Our own maintenance engineers carry out repairs. We do not pass work to subcontractors, which means one team knows the property and is accountable for the standard of the work. Which repairs fall to Redwood and which remain with you as owner is set out clearly in your agreement before you sign.
Is temporary accommodation the only way my Peckham home will be used?
No. We place homes with local authorities and housing partners for temporary and settled accommodation, and also with vetted private and corporate tenants. The right placement depends on the property and demand at the time. Whichever route is used, your agreement and your monthly payment are with Redwood Residences.
How does the Renters' Rights Act affect guaranteed rent in Peckham?
The Renters' Rights Act, passed in 2025, abolishes section 21 and moves assured tenancies to a periodic model. Under guaranteed rent, your agreement is with Redwood rather than with the occupier, which is a different arrangement. We manage the occupier relationship, so changes to tenancy law are handled by us day to day.
