The apartments are finished and fitted to an excellent specification and are set within beautiful gated landscaped gardens.

Recent completions at Queen Mary’s Gate have included a number of apartments being rented out by local lettings agents who report that they have been extremely popular. Marc Lissen from Forest Bureau, part of the PMS FB Corporation Ltd has marketed a number of rental apartments at this development. He comments: “The quality at Queen Mary’s Gate speaks for itself and we have had no problem renting out homes at the development and achieving a good monthly rental income for our clients. We have even had speculative enquiries from prospective tenants, asking specifically for apartments at Queen Mary’s Gate, proving that they are genuinely sought after.”

Sean Cracknell of neighbouring agents Homes & Co, South Woodford adds: “The tenants we are placing at Queen Mary’s Gate are delighted with the size and finish of the apartments and we have been achieving full rental asking prices for the properties. Such is the demand that we have even let some apartments off-plan before they have even completed and that is practically unheard of here in the lettings industry!”

One bedroom apartments are proving particularly popular amongst investors who, as as well as a good rentals, should also achieve a good return on their investment in the long term – Land Registry figures show an 11% rise in house prices in the borough of Redbridge in the last year.

We are delighted that this is proving to be the case; with the great majority of buyers being owner-occupiers here, good rental returns are being achieved by investors in so far as demand exceeds supply. Completions at the development are ongoing so investors who purchase now should start to see a return pretty much straight away as the rental market is generally strong. Most investors so far haven’t even needed to furnish to let, adding further savings.”
