Guaranteed rent and property management in Tilbury
Fixed monthly income, full management and in-house maintenance for landlords across Tilbury and the RM18 postcodes.
Guaranteed rent in Tilbury is available from Redwood Residences for houses and flats in RM18. We agree a fixed monthly rent for a term of typically 3 to 10 years, pay it whether the home is occupied or empty, deduct no management fees, and make the first payment within 7 days of signing the agreement.

Port-related employment underpins consistent rental demand, with houses letting quickly at sensible figures.
Redwood Residences is a London-based Registered Provider. In Tilbury 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 Tilbury
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 Tilbury
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 Tilbury?
We are actively buying residential assets across Essex and the London fringe. Tenanted stock is welcome, whole portfolios are welcome, and there are no viewings, no listings and no chain. See how acquisitions work.
Working with Thurrock Council
We hold Registered Provider status, which allows us to place stock directly with boroughs for temporary and settled accommodation. For an owner in Tilbury 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.

How the port shapes rental demand in Tilbury
Tilbury is a working riverside town, and its rental market follows the jobs. The Port of Tilbury and the warehousing and distribution businesses around it employ large numbers of people, many on shifts, and a good share of them want to rent close to work rather than commute in.
That gives landlords in Tilbury a steady pool of working tenants. Houses at sensible rents tend to let quickly, particularly two and three-bedroom terraces and former local authority homes, which make up much of the town's housing. Flats are available too, but family houses are what most landlords here own.
Tilbury Town station is on the c2c line, with trains towards Grays and London Fenchurch Street in one direction and Southend in the other. The A1089 links the port area to the A13, which matters to tenants who drive to work across Thurrock or into east London.
Beyond the town itself, RM18 also takes in East Tilbury, with its own c2c station, while Chadwell St Mary sits just to the north in RM16. The local authority for all of these is Thurrock Council, not a London borough.
What guaranteed rent looks like for a Tilbury house
What we ask of you
Your address, a few details about the property and sight of your current certificates. Start with the 90-second online valuation, which gives a guaranteed figure and a market-rent figure together.
What we do next
We inspect the house, check gas safety, the EICR, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and the EPC (minimum E), and agree any work needed before the start date.
What you sign
One agreement with Redwood Residences for a term of typically 3 to 10 years. The occupier's arrangement is with us, so you are not dealing with tenants directly.
What you receive
The first payment within 7 days of signing, followed by the same fixed amount every month, whether the house is occupied or between occupiers. Full details are on our guaranteed rent service page.
In Tilbury, guaranteed rent means the same figure in your account every month, whether the property is occupied or not.

Day-to-day property management in Tilbury
For landlords who choose market-rent letting, our property management in Tilbury covers tenant find and referencing, deposit protection, rent collection, periodic inspections and renewals, all in line with the Tenant Fees Act 2019.
Our maintenance teams are directly employed, not subcontracted. For houses let to shift workers, that makes it easier to book access at times that suit the household. Compliance is logged centrally, so gas safety renewals, EICRs every five years or sooner, alarm checks, fire safety and EPCs are not missed.
Shared houses let to five or more people from two or more households need a mandatory HMO licence, and we provide HMO management where a property is set up that way. For everything else, check whether Thurrock Council requires a property licence for your address; we confirm the position before onboarding.
The Renters' Rights Act, passed in 2025, ends section 21 and moves tenancies onto a periodic footing. We handle the practical changes for managed landlords as they come in.

Tilbury landlords switching agent or taking a first step
Much of our Tilbury enquiry comes from two groups. The first are landlords who already let a house but are unhappy with slow repairs or poor communication from their current letting agent. The second are first-time or accidental landlords who have ended up owning a house in the town and do not want to manage it themselves.
Both can move across without starting from scratch. We review existing tenancy paperwork, certificates and any notice period with your current agent, then recommend either guaranteed rent or management based on the property's condition and your plans.
