Welcome to B&D Reside

We are a housing provider working in partnership with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.

Our main purpose is to provide good-quality homes and housing services in the local communities within the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham. Our aim is to have a positive impact on both the lives of our residents and the communities in which we work. We are committed to working in partnership with our tenants and leaseholders to ensure that their tenancies and our communities are safe and sustainable.

We will achieve this through the provision of quality, affordable housing for working people.

We work closely with the council’s development company, Be First, and are planning to build around 1,500 new homes in the next two years.

The majority of new Reside homes are offered at discounted market rents, but we also offer homes at market rent and shared ownership. On average, our discounted market rents are up to 20% lower than typical market rents in Barking and Dagenham. The market rent homes are accessible on the open market, similar to those advertised through an estate agent.

Our shared ownership properties typically start with a 25% share of ownership, with the buyer continuing to pay rent on the rest of the property. Over time you can buy more shares to increase your level of ownership. A great, flexible way to buy a home. Barking and Dagenham council is also building new social rented homes and are allocated to households on the council’s housing register.

Our Foundations

Our foundations are built upon a unique heritage that honors the past while embracing the future. Formed in 2011 by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, to help respond to the housing need in the Borough, we recognise the pioneering political vision and ambition that brought us into being, and we strive to replicate the spirit of the Becontree Estate in a contemporary context.

We are the local landlord of this generation; modern, agile, and exemplary; trailblazing a new model for how we manage our homes that others aspire to follow.

We are B&D Reside, where heritage meets innovation, and community thrives.

Our Purpose

To provide the local community with high quality homes and housing services. Giving our residents a home where they feel safe and secure, enabling them to focus on living their best lives.
