Find A Tenant Service

Q: How far in advance of needing a new tenant should I contact you?

The sooner the better. This will allow us to help you make sure any licensing/safety certs or maintenance is ready well in advance of marketing. Typically we would recommend actually putting a property on the market 6-8 weeks before it is available to let.

Q: Can you advise me on what safety certificates I need?

Yes – when we visit your property we will be able to establish exactly what your property requires

Q: Can you advise me on whether the property needs some redecoration/maintenance work?

Yes – it is no surprise that good quality tenants are attracted to well maintained properties. Our job is to help you achieve this without carrying out work and spending money on things that won’t make a difference.

Q: Can you get any necessary work completed quickly?

Yes – we work with a large number of quality contractors in Bristol. The contractors we select understand the fast pace of the rental market, have short lead times and are happy to work around tenants.

Q: Do you provide feedback on the viewings you complete?

Yes – when we receive an offer for your property we will be in touch immediately. Otherwise it will be on ‘Feedback Friday’. One of our lettings team will contact you every Friday to update you on the viewings from that week and any feedback generated from them.

Our service provides an experienced landlord with a great new tenant and a compliant tenancy.

I had an extremely pleasant experience with The Bristol Residential Letting Company. After I found a listing which interested me, Tom arranged a viewing for the very next day and helped me secure the property just a few hours later.

I had a very quick and supportive process with Ryan from BRL. I had heard back from him after viewing a property within a few short hours and has been so far very swift with responding to any questions I have had.Edit: after a year of renting with this company I wanted to add an extra special thank you to Steph- truly the best letting agent you could ask for. She has always been so friendly, quick to respond and helpful. Any request, question or concern I have had has been dealt with swiftly and with care. I feel valued as a tenant and I feel very fortunate to be extending my contract at one of their managed properties!

Me and my partner have been with bris let for the last few months, and our property manager Aimee has been fantastic. She's been incredibly responsive and helpful with the issues we've had in the property, and we've managed to get these sorted quickly and without fuss, most of the time sending contractors out the same day we report a problem, and often within just a few hours! Thanks for all your help Aimee! 😁
