The local market
Letting in Lewisham, from Deptford Creek to Sydenham
Lewisham's housing reflects its long history as a commuter suburb. Brockley, Ladywell, Hither Green and Forest Hill are lined with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many now converted into flats, while Lee, Catford and Grove Park offer interwar family houses. Around Lewisham town centre, Deptford and New Cross, regeneration has added modern apartment blocks close to the DLR and Overground.
The tenant base is broad. Goldsmiths, University of London brings students and staff to New Cross, University Hospital Lewisham is a major local employer, and quick journeys to London Bridge and Canary Wharf appeal to commuters. Families are drawn to green spaces such as Blackheath, Hilly Fields and Mountsfield Park. Letting to such varied tenants takes time, and a guaranteed rent lease hands that work to Denhan.

Why Denhan in Lewisham
Why Guaranteed Rent Suits Lewisham's Period Homes and New Flats
Many Lewisham rentals are flats in converted Victorian houses, where older roofs, pipework and shared areas need regular attention, while new developments near the stations can bring several similar flats to market at once. A Denhan lease handles both: rent is guaranteed for the whole term, voids are covered and our tradespeople take the call-outs.

Your questions
Guaranteed rent in Lewisham: your questions
The questions landlords in Lewisham ask us most.
Still have a question?
Our team can talk you through the lease, the rent and what happens next for your property.
My flat is in a converted house in Brockley. Is it suitable for guaranteed rent?
Converted flats are common across Brockley and Ladywell and are assessed like any other home. We visit, check the flat meets rental standard and give you a valuation. If you go ahead, you pick a lease of one to five years, vetted tenants move in after signing a free photographic inventory, and your rent is paid on the same day every month.
I let a flat near Goldsmiths in New Cross myself. What would change with Denhan?
Finding, referencing and replacing tenants would become Denhan's job rather than yours. You receive the agreed rent by BACS on the same day every month for the whole lease, with no commission, and if the property is empty at any point the rent and utility bills are still covered. Repairs and emergency call-outs are handled by our in-house team.
How often will you inspect my family house in Catford?
Denhan inspects at least three times a year for the whole lease. Visits are arranged with the tenants, and anything that needs attention, from a dripping tap to a broken fence panel, is picked up and dealt with by our in-house tradespeople. Together with the photographic inventory taken at the start, that keeps a clear record of your house's condition.
