Letting Only
Our one-off letting service includes professional property photography, market analysis for optimal pricing, and tenant vetting through Right to Rent checks. We handle deposit collection and tenancy agreement administration while ensuring compliance with current legislation. This service is ideal for landlords seeking minimal involvement while maintaining direct management of their properties.
Property Management
Comprehensive management covers rent collection, quarterly property inspections, and maintenance coordination. We maintain compliance with fire safety regulations, gas certificates, and electrical testing while providing regular communication updates to landlords. This service includes end-of-tenancy cleaning and deposit dispute resolution to protect your investment.
Maintenance Coordination
Our 24/7 maintenance team handles everything from minor repairs to major renovations. We prioritise emergency issues like gas leaks or heating failures while consulting landlords on budget thresholds for non-urgent works. Regular property inspections help identify potential issues before they escalate, minimising downtime and repair costs.
HMO Licensing
We ensure compliance with Bristol City Council's HMO licensing requirements through property assessments, safety certificate management, and documentation preparation. Our service includes ongoing monitoring of regulatory changes and liaison with local authorities to maintain legal compliance for multi-occupancy properties.
Property Valuations
Our valuation service provides accurate rental market analysis based on property size, location, and condition. We consider current demand in Bristol's student areas and comparable listings to determine optimal pricing. This service helps landlords maximise returns while maintaining competitive positioning in the market.
