Let to Waltham Forest Council for Guaranteed Rent
Situated in north east London, Waltham Forest is an ethnically diverse and exciting region of the capital.
There is a great deal of development here as the area is well furnished with local amenities and housing. However, there is no shortage of open green space; in fact, parks and playing fields cover more than a fifth of the borough, a rarity for an area so close to central London. Residents can enjoy a varied selection of food markets, restaurants, cafes and shops, while the city centre can be easily accessed via Walthamstow Station with both Central and Victoria lines running throughout. All of this has contributed to healthy property prices and a strong rental market, something property investors can take advantage of.
Why invest in Waltham Forest?
Waltham Forest has become a hotspot for both young professionals and families, with the average resident age at just 34.4 years. It’s also a working borough—seven in ten residents of working age are employed—making it ideal for landlords looking to attract stable, professional tenants.
The local property market has seen consistent growth. Average house prices rose from £333,300 in June 2014 to £415,211 by January 2015—an increase of nearly 25% in under a year. This upward trend has continued, positioning Waltham Forest as a strong area for buy-to-let investment and long-term capital growth.
Despite this growth, demand for social housing remains very high, while the borough faces a severe shortage of available homes, according to Waltham Forest Council. Landlords who choose to rent to the council can help address this demand while benefiting from guaranteed rental income and reliable tenants.
