Havering sits at the eastern edge of outer London, bordering Essex, and rents here are among the more affordable in the capital, reflecting its distance from central London and its suburban and semi-rural character. Housing is dominated by semi-detached and detached houses from the interwar and post-war periods, particularly around Romford, Hornchurch and Upminster, with Romford town centre offering a greater mix of flats. The Elizabeth line now serves Romford and Gidea Park, cutting journey times into central London, while the District line reaches as far as Upminster and Hornchurch. The A12 and M25 both pass through the borough, making it well placed for road travel to Essex and beyond.
Havering's larger houses and gardens make it popular with families who want more space than they could afford further into London, while the arrival of the Elizabeth line at Romford has increased interest from commuters working in central London and Canary Wharf. Queen's Hospital in Romford also supports demand from NHS staff.
For a landlord, Havering's affordability relative to inner London, combined with the Elizabeth line's improved journey times, continues to draw both established families and commuters into the borough.
Romford town centre provides extensive shopping and leisure facilities, acting as a hub for the wider borough and neighbouring parts of Essex. Upminster and Hornchurch retain a quieter, more rural feel, with larger gardens and easy access to open countryside just beyond the borough boundary. Havering's parks, including Raphael Park and Harrow Lodge Park, are well used by local families. This combination of space, affordability and improving transport continues to draw a steady flow of new residents to the borough.

Finding your tenant
We manage, we do not let. When your property is empty we appoint one of the best letting agents in your area to find the tenant. Their fee is agreed with you in writing before anything starts, and Caso adds nothing to it. We brief the agent, approve the marketing, check every applicant's referencing, handle the move-in and protect the deposit. You deal with one company throughout.
- Agent chosen on results, not on who we know
- Fee agreed in writing before marketing starts
- Caso takes nothing from the agent
