Stratford Property Inventory Services for Build to Rent Properties
| by hihouse
Stratford has transformed far beyond an East London transport hub, it’s now a thriving, self-sustaining urban neighbourhood. Rooted in its Olympic legacy, this part of London has blossomed into a key residential and cultural district, with long-term regeneration reshaping its identity.
Since the 2012 Olympics, Stratford’s housing market has surpassed Greater London in both price and rent rises reporting a 104% house price increase across the area (E15/E20), compared to just 65% for the rest of London. It’s also seen a population surge, with a 42% rise (to 73,000 residents), a notable expansion of young professionals, and growth in private renting from 21% to 32% of households.
Large-scale residential development continues: over 2,200 homes are currently under construction, an additional 8,500 are in the pipeline, and nearly 30,000 more homes are projected by 2030
Stratford Now: A Residential & Cultural Hub
Today, Stratford blends culture, green space, retail and new community infrastructure:
> Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and East Village now host public sports facilities and 7,000+ residents.
> The East Bank cultural district opened in autumn 2023, bringing institutions like V&A East, Sadler’s Wells East, BBC Music, plus growth in university campuses (UCL)
> The rapid introduction of office and retail elements (like TfL, FCA, Here East) has created tens of thousands of local jobs, adding to Stratford’s appeal.

What makes Hihouse Stand Out
We are not a high-street agency. Hihouse was built for developments that operate with structure, not improvisation. We work within systems, alongside operations teams, and inside properties where the quality of reporting has direct financial and reputational impact.
Our role extends beyond documentation. In many schemes, certain furnishings, finishes or fittings require a different level of attention, not because they are fragile, but because they are costly to replace and frequently overlooked. Curtains, mattresses, soft goods, concealed mechanisms: these are not footnotes. They are often the items where value is quietly lost.
Rather than applying a single method across every building, we work with clients to understand what is being damaged, where patterns emerge, and how this impacts re-let readiness and asset depreciation. Together, we define the areas that deserve greater scrutiny, and we build that into our reporting structure consistently, and in accordance with tenancy law.
This way of working allows us to support operators in the realities they navigate daily. It ensures the smallest details are given weight, not because they are decorative, but because they carry consequence.
