Bristol Residential is very efficient…

Bristol Residential is very efficient and professional. They are great and efficient to find me a tenant and their back office is fast and professional in preparing the agreement. I highly recommend them.

Excellent service all round from a really friendly team

The Bristol Residential Letting Company have been managing my property for me for over 5 years and I can’t speak highly enough of the service they provide. From initial marketing and interviewing tenants, through to overseeing maintenance and inspections, their service is excellent. My designated property manager, Gemma McLaughlin, consistently goes above and beyond. She gets back to me almost instantly with any email queries and was especially helpful recently when we needed to replace several kitchen units, which took a lot of coordination between delivery drivers and contractors.
I also feel that they provide an excellent service for my tenants. For example, on one occasion when the boiler broke down, they provided local gym passes for the tenants so that they could access a hot shower during the couple of days it took to get the boiler replaced.
I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this letting company. They make the whole property letting process completely effortless.

Professional and reliable Bristol letting agency ...

We have used the letting agency of Bristol Residential for many years and have been really pleased with the professional service provided by them. They have managed our apartment within the city with efficiency and friendliness, and we can always rely on them to find the right local and international tenants for us. Our personal manager, Andy, is always there when we need him, which is very reassuring.

Responsive and pleasant to work with!

I lived in one of their properties for three years and found them lovely to work with. My property manager, Andy Peters, would respond quickly to inquiries/maintenance requests and was communicative when needing anything from me. He made living here very easy and I'd recommend this letting company to anyone looking for a new place!

Excellent Management and Support

Since moving into McArthur’s Yard apartments in 2024, it’s been one of the best rental experiences I’ve had. Andy Peters (Property Manager), has been fantastic—always friendly, approachable, and quick to help whenever anything comes up. The whole place is really well managed, and any issues we’ve had have been sorted out quickly and smoothly. Really happy living here!

Great service from TBRL and Charlie Locke in particular

I continue to be pleased with the service I receive from this company. Charlie Locke is always responsive and proactively makes suggestions for options when resolving a problem. The routine stuff he just gets on without even involving me where that's appropriate.

DO NOT rent your home with this company

This company is so helpful when you are searching for a home, and then is absolutely terrible once on contract. They leave items weeks to months unfixed and unfinished. The client is forced to do all follow-up individually with the contractors. It's curious what they are actually managing vs just accepting a paycheck from landlords. In addition their staff is rude and often unresponsive. This company is a scam.

We’re sorry to read that you feel this way about your experience.

Providing a professional and responsive service to both our tenants and landlords is very important to us, and it’s disappointing to hear when someone feels we have fallen short.

Property maintenance can sometimes involve third-party contractors and access arrangements, which unfortunately can lead to delays outside of our direct control. That said, we do actively manage repair requests and always aim to keep tenants informed throughout the process.

We also take feedback about communication very seriously, as our team works hard to provide a courteous and helpful service. The majority of our reviews reflect this, but we know there is always room to improve.

As we cannot identify your tenancy from this review, we would genuinely welcome the opportunity to look into the situation further.

Please contact me directly so we can review the issues you’ve raised and see how we can assist.

Kind Regards

Reliable and friendly

We have used Bristol Residential Lettings for some years now and have always been extremely satisfied with the service especially from Greg at the Southville office who has been our contact for the past few years and has always been accommodating and resolved any issues we might have. He is prompt to reply to any requests and gets the job done.

Property Management by the Bristol Residential Letting Agency

Charlie Locke and his colleagues at the Bristol Residential Letting Agency have provided me with an excellent property management service over the last 6 years. With a very personable manner, Charlie is knowledgeable, provides all the information I need, is willing to offer his professional opinion, and is easy to communicate with. Whatever issue arises, he lets me know in a timely manner, is willing to have a conversation about possible solutions and promptly acts on decisions made. Charlie is similarly responsive to queries I raise.
Overall, I'm very happy with the friendly, approachable team and the service provided by the Bristol Residential Letting Agency and would recommend them to other landlords and prospective landlords in Bristol.

Property in good hands

Our property manager, Phebe, has been very helpful in assuring the smooth management of our property. She communicates clearly and nothing is too much trouble. We wanted a mostly "hands off" service for the property and Phebe has been great with that.

Quite Probably The Best Property Management Team in Bristol

Great experience these last 6-years renting three apartments out with BRL without a gap of more than a couple of days between tenancies. Always strong communication from a smart, proactive and well-informed team. Reassuring that routine property management functions are done really well. 100% satisfied that my apartments are under strong management.

Excellent experience…

We have been working with Bristol Resident for over 10 years and as landlords we have found their service second to none. Any issues are dealt with quickly and efficiently by our contact Aimee who never has to be chased up anything. Bristol Residential is a prime example of how a letting agency should be run.

Very happy with end to end process from letting to ongoing management

As a first time and somewhat unexpected landlord I was looking for an end to end fully managed service, I found the process from letting the property to ongoing management very professional, and am very happy with the service from BRL and from Gemma who now manages the tenancy. BRL have made the whole process much less painful than I anticipated.
