Why rent with us
We have high quality, spacious properties available to rent now, including 1, 2 and 3 bedroom homes.
Populo is Newham Council's wholly owned housing company. We are making Newham home for everyone. We are designing and building better homes and places.
Our environmentally friendly developments will become communities and strengthen existing ones. All Populo residents will enjoy excellent standards of design and attention to detail.
Together with Newham Council, we are focused on the need to deliver for Newham’s diverse residents. This long-term commitment means that our exceptional customer service and commitment to you, and Newham, is here to stay.
We’re growing fast - Populo has 475 homes completed and in management, with 392 under construction. Our aim is to build more than 7,000 new homes by 2040.
The Populo Living Group consists of three companies:
All the companies share the same vision and values. Populo’s funding for developments is subject to the approval, overview and scrutiny of Newham Council’s Cabinet.
We do things better:
We are constantly learning and seeking to improve things. We believe that people in Newham should enjoy the best possible design, build and management standards. We innovate in order to create and deliver quality homes responsibly and sustainably. We look for ways to deliver the best quality we can while ensuring value for money.
We care:
‘Populo’ means ‘with the people’ – we put people first. We engage with our residents and each other because we know that Newham is its diverse people, and our success depends on both our team and our residents. We’re dedicated, passionate and believe that what we do matters.
We create community:
Newham should be home for everyone that wants to live here. We include, involve, and support existing communities and create strong new ones. We’re committed to providing an attractive and more sustainable built environment; we want local communities to thrive. We’re here for the long- term and are planning for the future.
By 2025, we aim to start the construction of more than 1,600 homes, with 45% being genuinely affordable.
