Estate agents in Dagenham
Dagenham is a house market rather than a flat market. The Becontree estate — built in the 1920s and 30s and still the largest of its kind in the country — means street after street of three-bedroom houses with gardens, which is exactly what buyers priced out of inner London are looking for.
Selling and letting in Dagenham
We sell and let across RM8, RM9 and RM10. Because so much of the stock is externally similar, condition, extensions and the quality of the marketing photography make more difference here than almost anywhere else we work.
The housing stock
Overwhelmingly interwar terraces and semis with front and back gardens, much of it ex-local-authority and none the worse for it, plus 1960s and 70s stock and new-build closer to the river. Extended kitchens and converted lofts set the top of the market.

Looking in Dagenham?
We are not advertising anything in Dagenham on the site at this moment — stock moves quickly here, and a good share of it goes to people already registered with us before it is listed.
Tell us what you are after and we will call you when it comes up. If you are the one with a property here, we will tell you what it is worth to sell or to let.
My house looks like every other house on the street — how do you price it?
By what has actually sold nearby and what makes yours different: the extension, the loft, the parking, the condition, which way the garden faces. Two identical-looking Becontree houses can be a long way apart in value.
Do I need a licence to rent out a property in Dagenham?
Barking & Dagenham has run selective licensing across much of the borough, but schemes are renewed and redrawn. Confirm the position with the council before you let — letting without a required licence is an offence.
