Lettings Services for Bristol Landlords

Working with you

Abode Property Management work closely with all our landlords - whether they happen to be based in Bristol or abroad. Our Managing Director and owner, Steven Harris, liaises with new landlords to establish their exact requirements supported by an experienced team of lettings experts.

Where some landlords require only limited support such as simply a let only service, others may be located overseas, have large portfolios or have busy work lives and prefer Full Property Management with more regular feedback.

We are always keen to help, whether you have a small studio apartment or a large portfolio of properties.

Reviews from our landlords

"We have used Abode recently to market and let our property after significant refurbishment. They were great at understanding our needs, giving advice and proactively keeping in touch during marketing. Mike and Ellie were our main points of contact but anyone in the office seemed on the ball and ready to help. They found us some great tenants and I know that they have a good reputation across Bristol."

Issy

"The Abode team are very helpful and efficient. They offer a great service to landlords and work hard to find the right tenants and minimise time between tenancies. They've provided me with quality market insight and helped me make purchasing decisions. When work is needed on properties their pricing is competitive and in line with market rates. I have full confidence in them, especially Ben who does a great job at managing the team."

Sarah

"Abode are an exceptional letting agency. They have managed my properties for the last five years and the service has been exemplary. I cannot think of an instance when I have not been satisfied that they have done all they can for me."

Jon

"When I first became a landlord I tried various flat letting agencies in Bristol but quickly settled on using the services of Abode to find tenants. I think they are one of the best agencies in Bristol. Nothing is too much trouble and their advice and work ethic are second to none.I have no hesitation in recommending Abode to landlords and tenants alike."
