Let to Redbridge Council – Area Guide

Known for it’s leafy green openness and award-winning parks and recreation space, Redbridge is considered to be one of the most idyllic boroughs in London.

Situated northeast of Greater London, Redbridge has plenty to offer all residents, but perhaps families especially. There are good quality schools and hundreds of acres of parks and woodlands, and the nearness to the capital makes it perfect for those who want a smooth and quick commute into London for work.

Why invest in Redbridge?
The London Borough of Redbridge is just 7 miles from central London, and is well connected by public transport.

The large town of Ilford is home to Redbridge Underground Station, from which Liverpool Street Station can be reached in a little under 20 minutes. Redbridge is also set to receive Cross Rail Stations, which will improve commuting into London as well. However, for those who wish to remain locally, there is plenty in the way of shopping, amenities, and employment. Hainault Business Park for example is home to over 160 businesses that trade there, creating thousands of local jobs in the process. There are also a number of primary and secondary schools in Redbridge, along with colleges and a Sixth Form school that help the area appeal to families.

According to the Land Registry, Redbridge enjoyed an average annual price growth of 9.2 per cent, with the average house price now being £399,524 (February 2016). The average rent across the borough is £1,285 pcm, and so landlords with private properties can generate a high rental income. There is a distinct lack of social housing stock in Redbridge: in fact, according to the local council, the borough is home to the lowest amount of social housing outside the City of London itself. Waiting times for 2014/2015 started at three years, with waiting lists for larger four-bedroom properties reaching 11.9 years. For landlords wanting immediate occupancy and to help alleviate these long waiting times, letting to Redbridge council can be a smart move.
