Olympic Park regeneration and Elizabeth line connections keep demand for family-sized units exceptionally high, and Newham is one of the busiest boroughs in the country for temporary accommodation.
Redwood Residences is a London-based Registered Provider. In Stratford 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 Stratford
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 Stratford
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 Stratford?
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 Stratford 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.

Who rents in Stratford, and why does demand hold up?
Guaranteed rent in Stratford makes sense for many landlords because the area draws tenants from almost every part of the rental market at once. Commuters, university staff and students, young professionals and families waiting for settled housing in Newham all compete for the same homes across E15 and E20.
Stratford station is the main reason. It is served by the Central, Jubilee and Elizabeth lines, the DLR and the Overground, which puts the City, Canary Wharf and the West End within a short journey. Very few London stations offer that range of routes, and tenants notice it.
The housing stock splits into two distinct halves. E20 is almost entirely post-2012: East Village, Chobham Manor and the newer blocks around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. E15 holds the older Victorian terraces around Maryland and towards West Ham Park, alongside the towers built along Stratford High Street.
Then there is council demand. Newham has one of the highest numbers of households in temporary accommodation in England, and family-sized homes are the hardest for the borough to find. For owners of three and four-bedroom properties, that pressure is what keeps guaranteed rent figures firm.

How does a guaranteed rent agreement on a Stratford property work?
Start with the valuation
Our free online valuation takes about 90 seconds and returns two figures side by side: the guaranteed rent we would pay and the market rent the property might achieve if let and managed conventionally.
Inspection and terms
A member of our team visits, checks condition and compliance, and agrees a term with you. Agreements typically run from 3 to 10 years.
Signing and the first payment
Your agreement is with Redwood Residences, not with the occupier. Within 7 days of signing, the first guaranteed rent payment reaches your account, and it continues monthly whether the home is occupied or empty.
Placement and ongoing management
We place vetted households through local authority and housing partners, for temporary or settled accommodation, or with private and corporate tenants. Repairs, inspections and compliance stay with us for the full term. The guaranteed rent scheme page sets out the model in more detail.

Stratford landlords: guaranteed rent or a managed let?
Both routes are available for Stratford property, and the right one depends on how much variation in income you are willing to carry.
| Question | Guaranteed rent | Managed letting |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive each month | A fixed sum, paid every month of the term | Full market rent while the property is let |
| Empty periods | No voids for you | Possible between tenancies |
| Unpaid rent | Our risk, not yours | Your risk |
| Management fees | None deducted | Charged on market terms |
| Repairs | Handled by our in-house engineers | Handled by our in-house engineers, at your cost |
| Best suited to | Owners who value certainty over the last pound of rent | Owners who want market rent and are comfortable with gaps |
In E20, where modern flats let quickly to professionals, some owners prefer managed letting. In family-sized E15 houses, where council demand is constant, guaranteed rent is often the stronger fit.
What twelve months can look like for a Stratford landlord
What does property management in Stratford cover?
Property management in Stratford with Redwood covers tenant find, rent collection, full management, HMO management and block management, with refurbishment available where a property needs work before letting.
Maintenance is carried out by our own engineers rather than subcontractors. Because our operations office sits at Mirror Works on Marshgate Lane, within E15 itself, a Stratford call-out is a short trip rather than a cross-London job.
Compliance is tracked centrally for every home: annual gas safety checks, an EICR at least every five years, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, fire safety and an EPC rated E or above. Deposits are protected where required, and no tenant is charged a fee banned under the Tenant Fees Act 2019.
On licensing, check whether the London Borough of Newham requires a property licence for your address. We confirm the position before onboarding, and mandatory HMO licensing applies nationally to homes let to five or more people from two or more households.

Which Stratford owners is this built for?
- Owners of new-build flats in E20 who bought off-plan and now want a hands-off income without chasing tenants in a large block.
- Landlords with family houses in E15, where Newham's housing need is greatest and a long agreement removes void risk.
- Portfolio landlords who want several Stratford properties on one agreement and one point of contact.
- Owners moving away, including accidental landlords, who need the property looked after properly while they are elsewhere.
Newham is one of the boroughs we already work with, so placement routes are established. If your property sits nearer the Waltham Forest border, our Leyton landlord page covers that side.
Stratford draws tenants from almost every part of the rental market at once. Our operations office is right here on Marshgate Lane.
