Happy Student in Bristol

Bristol is a cool place to be!

Bristol has an incredibly buoyant student market on the back of two popular universities – The University of Bristol and the University of the West of England. Similarly to the rise in professionals relocating to Bristol over the past few years, we’ve also seen a huge rise in the number of students that are wanting to move and study here. Lets face it, Bristol is a cool place to be!

We understand and appreciate the intricate differences involved in letting and managing student properties and with that in mind we’ve created a dedicated student arm of the business to help both students and landlords in need.

We have official accreditation from the UWE Students Union, meaning we have unrivalled access to students at UWE as well as being a recommended agent from the student union housing office. This allows us to get maximum exposure when advertising student lettings in Bristol.

We’ve got you covered

When letting student houses there are a number of things to consider differently to the usual letting of ‘professional’ properties, please see some, but not all of the major ones below:

  • Student tenancies usually only start between July and mid-to-late September each year
  • Student properties are usually advertised six-to-eight months before they’re due to become vacant
  • Most restorative works can only take place during certain times of the year
  • The price per room can vary hugely depending on which university you are catering to, size, location or level of furnishings (it really can be a minefield)

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. 

Let-Only Service Only Plans

Across a decade of working in the student 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.
