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 – the Populo Living Group now has 795 homes, and we've delivered a further 75 later living homes for Newham. 251 of these homes are managed by Populo homes, our social housing provider; following our pledge to build affordable homes for Newham.
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.
‘Populo’ means ‘with the people’, and our brand values reflect this:
We Build Better
We believe everyone deserves a home with the best possible design, build and management standards, while ensuring value for money.
We Build Thoughtfully
We are curious about people and places and innovate to deliver quality homes responsibly and sustainably. We are passionate that what we do matters.
We Build Communities
We put people first, with Newham at the heart of everything we do, from investing in existing communities to creating new ones. We engage with and value our residents as our success depends on embracing their diversity.
By 2025, we aim to start the construction of more than 1,600 homes, with 45% being genuinely affordable.
