Letting Agents In Hornchurch Understand the Local Market
The Balgores Hornchurch office can be found at 11 North Street, in the middle of Hornchurch’s lively town centre.

There are plenty of reasons why tenants would choose to move to Hornchurch. With a station on the District line of the tube, as well as excellent rail connections, commuters can travel into a London workplace in under an hour. Yet, unlike some residential areas within central London, Hornchurch is a town that has much to offer in its own right. 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.

Yes, Balgores offers both in-person and virtual viewings depending on your preferences and requirements. Our online viewings are created using high-quality 3D videography to showcase a property in its best possible light. Both buyers and vendors appreciate the convenience of virtual appointments as an alternative to the traditional face-to-face viewing.
For the buyer, you have the opportunity to view a home multiple times virtually, allowing you to zoom inand plan out how you would use the available space in a property. You can use virtual viewings to create a shortlist of properties you love and then request a physical viewing when you’re closer to placing an offer.
The virtual viewing also benefits the vendor as you’ll have far fewer passive house hunters visiting your home. Those that do book an in-person viewing will be much further down the funnel and likely to make you a serious offer.
