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. Where some landlords require only limited support such as simply a Viewings 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.

We aim to minimise the voids between tenancies. On average, this is only 8 days including a period of 5 days for any work which is required.

For more advice on becoming or being a landlord, see our Landlords FAQ page.

We appreciate that as a landlord with property in Bristol, your focus is to find the best possible tenant at the best possible rent. For this reason, we have invested expansively in ensuring that our website and other marketing tools are as modern, extensive and as user-friendly as possible. Our website is easily found on all major search engines. Prospective tenants register with us online and receive immediate email or text alerts as soon as your property is marketed with us.

We have an impressive High Street shop on Whiteladies Road, Clifton, where most prospective tenants search for properties in Bristol.

We have close relationships with property designers, planning consultants, builders and all contractors who may be necessary for either large project developments or small maintenance issues.
