Finding good quality accommodation at a fair price is getting harder in Bristol. Here at Bristol Property Partnership we only work with landlords who want to offer quality rooms and houses that provide great value. Founders Nick & Ashley couldn’t find an agency they could trust to manage room-by-room lets for their own properties, so decided to set up their own.
Integral to the business is providing a good service to tenants. We think things like prompt response to maintenance issues, being able to get hold of someone day or night, and being upfront about moving in costs are really important. When it comes to renting and sharing a house, we’ve all been there, so we also know the importance of having a happy house.
We’re here to guide you through the whole lettings process. We use a fast and simple referencing system and use electronic signatures for all the paperwork, making the move in process speedy and efficient. We will help you from the point of searching for a property to checking in to your new home.
Our team are passionate about property and committed to delivering a high standard of customer service. Today, the business has six highly-experienced staff members, and is a member of the UK Association of Letting Agents (UKALA) which provides Client Money Protection for both tenants and landlords. Deposits are independently held through the Deposit Protection Service (DPS). We pride ourselves on our professionalism and responsiveness and treating tenants as individuals is at the heart of what we do.
We work with a number of local organisations to support the community; most notably by donating a fixed portion of any profit to inHope (previously called Crisis Centre Ministries), who help homeless people in Bristol rebuild their lives and recover from drug and alcohol issues.
You’ll find details of how to rent a room or property with us including move in costs here.
