If you own a property in Greenwich or Blackheath, there’s never been a more interesting time to be a landlord. With strong rental demand, high-quality tenants, and continued regeneration across South East London, the local lettings market remains one of the most resilient in the capital.

Attracting reliable, long-term tenants is one of the most effective ways to protect your investment property and maintain stable rental income. Fortunately, areas like Greenwich and Blackheath naturally draw professional tenants, families, and long-term renters — but competition between landlords is increasing, so presentation and strategy matter.

If your letting agent isn’t delivering, you don’t have to stay stuck. Switching agents is easier than many landlords realise and could protect your investment long-term. Here’s how the process works, and why September is the perfect time to act.
