Guaranteed rent and property management in Plaistow
Fixed monthly income, full management and in-house maintenance for landlords across Plaistow and the E13 postcodes.
You can. Redwood Residences offers guaranteed rent in Plaistow, E13, on terms usually between 3 and 10 years, and is particularly keen on three and four-bedroom houses. We pay a fixed rent every month, occupied or empty, with nothing deducted for management. Your first payment arrives within 7 days of signing, and the agreement is with us, not the occupier.

Consistent council demand with good yields on three and four-bedroom houses, and short void periods even on private lets.
Redwood Residences is a London-based Registered Provider. In Plaistow 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 Plaistow
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 Plaistow
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 Plaistow?
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 Plaistow 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.

Is there steady rental demand in Plaistow?
Yes, and it comes from two dependable sources. The London Borough of Newham has a constant need for larger homes, and private tenants keep void periods short even on ordinary market lets. For landlords in Plaistow with a three or four-bedroom house, guaranteed rent turns that demand into a fixed monthly income.
Most of the housing is terraced, with long rows of Victorian and early twentieth-century houses around Balaam Street, Barking Road and the roads towards Upton Park. Some have been converted into flats. There are also post-war council-built homes, some now privately owned, which often have practical layouts for families.
Plaistow station is on the District and Hammersmith & City lines, and Upton Park station on the same lines serves the east side of E13. West Ham station, a short distance away, adds the Jubilee line and DLR. Newham University Hospital is in Plaistow, and Queens Market on Green Street serves the wider neighbourhood.
How would guaranteed rent work on my Plaistow house?
- You enter your address in our online valuation and get two figures in about 90 seconds: a guaranteed rent and a market rent.
- We arrange a visit to look over the house and its paperwork, including gas safety, EICR and EPC.
- If both sides are happy, you sign an agreement with Redwood Residences. Terms typically run 3 to 10 years.
- The first guaranteed rent payment reaches you within 7 days of signing.
- We place a household, often a family referred through a local authority or housing partner, or a vetted private or corporate tenant.
- You are paid monthly for the full term, whether the house is occupied or not, and we handle everything in between.
Our work with local authorities explains how council and housing partner placements are arranged.

Should a Plaistow landlord choose guaranteed rent or managed letting?
If voids are already short in Plaistow, it is fair to ask what guaranteed rent adds. The answer is mostly arrears protection, no fees and no involvement.
| Point of comparison | Guaranteed rent | Managed letting |
|---|---|---|
| Money in each month | A set figure, every month | Market rent, less fees |
| Short voids between lets | Still paid | Unpaid, however brief |
| Rent arrears | Not your risk | Your risk |
| Management fee | Nothing deducted | Deducted at market rate |
| Repair call-outs | Our engineers, as agreed | Our engineers, charged back |
| Makes most sense for | A single family house you want to forget about | An owner who enjoys being involved and wants full rent |
Put simply, managed letting pays the market rate when everything goes well, and guaranteed rent pays a fixed rate however things go. With a family house in E13, some owners find the second arrangement easier to plan around, particularly if the rent covers a mortgage or supports retirement income.
What twelve months can look like for a Plaistow landlord
What does Redwood do day to day on a Plaistow property?
Property management in Plaistow is carried out by our own staff. Tenant find, rent collection, inspections and full management are handled by the office team, while repairs go to our in-house engineers. A dripping tap or a failed boiler is dealt with by people we employ, not a contractor found on the day.
Compliance is tracked centrally. That means gas safety every year, an EICR at least every five years, smoke alarms on every floor, carbon monoxide alarms where required, fire safety checks, deposit protection and an EPC of E or better. Tenant charges comply with the Tenant Fees Act 2019.
Check whether the London Borough of Newham requires a property licence for your address; we confirm the position before onboarding. Larger houses shared by five or more people from two or more households need a mandatory HMO licence, and we offer HMO management for those.
For landlords in Plaistow with a three or four-bedroom house, guaranteed rent turns strong demand into a fixed monthly income.

Who is guaranteed rent in Plaistow best for?
It is often the landlord with one house. Perhaps it was a family home, or the first property you bought, and you have no wish to become a full-time landlord. A fixed payment and a single contact suit that situation well.
It also suits landlords changing letting agent in Plaistow who want to stop comparing rent statements against voids and repair bills. And it works for owners of several E13 houses who want them on one agreement. If you also own near the Olympic Park, see our Stratford guaranteed rent page.
