The high street is packed full of Victorian shops and local residents will delight in the 100+ selection of eateries available. Couple this with the listed Rom skate park, the Queen’s Theatre and proximity to our two country parks and it’s easy to see why Hornchurch is loved.
Likely Rental Income
As letting agents Hornchurch wide, we have seen tenants flocking to Hornchurch in the past few years, and this can be seen in the rise in rental yield. You could expect to charge around £1,000 for a 1-bed flat, or up to £2,100 for a 4-bed property. Rental flats outnumber houses by about 3 to 1 in the current market, so landlords will be looking to attract single tenants, young couples who are yet to start a family, and house shares also.
