It's important to establish a culture

Shared living is a fantastic way for professionals who are relocating to the city to meet new people and begin to lay foundations. House sharing has become even more popular with the rise of rents in Bristol and with the rise in popularity has come a higher standard of rooms and houses available.

When renting rooms we really think it’s important to establish a culture. It’s easy to let rooms to the first person that is interested, but if you connect people who work opposite shifts, who are at opposite stages of their lives, it isn’t the best thing for the tenants or the property.

When looking to rent rooms

There are huge differences in approach when letting rooms as opposed to letting entire properties on one tenancy agreement, as well as different things to consider if you want to let an HMO in Bristol room by room for the first time. Here are some of the most common ones:

  • The properties in an HMO are never vacant, so a regular cleaner can really add years to communal spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms
  • You may face times when you have a void period on one or more of your rooms and this can effect your bottom line, so make sure you take this in to account
  • House shares are almost always fully furnished now
  • It’s common for landlords to include gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband when letting properties room by room

Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss the best way to set up your next HMO, or if you’re just looking for a lodger.

HMO Full Management Plan

Instructing an agent to manage your property is a huge decision and one that can be very stressful. The reality is you’re trusting one of your most valuable assets with a company you may never have worked with before and that can be scary. Property management is a responsibility that we take incredibly seriously and we promise complete support from start to finish with any matters relating to the property, tenants or tenancy. 

HMO Let-Only Service Only Plan

Across a decade of working in the lettings market in Bristol it’s become very clear that the key to a successful and harmonious tenancy all starts with putting time and emphasise into finding a tenant or tenants who are right for your property. Matching the right people with the right property is at the core of everything we do. With that in mind we make a promise to every landlord who works with us to find the right tenant as opposed to the first tenant.
