Our team of Clifton based letting agents are experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to property rental management. We also offer competitive letting agency fees and are always highly enthusiastic about doing a great job.

We 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 are always on hand to give advice. Our blogs (which you can find on our website) are friendly and informative giving you guidance on property, Bristol and even decoration ideas!

I haven't rented before, and for the fee they charged, they did very little work. Showed us round once and asked us to sign 30 pages of a contract.

Good afternoon. Firstly I am sorry to read your negative review. Moving home is not easy sometimes, especially if you are not in the country. In accordance with new legislation we must see everyone's passports due to the Right To Rent law which is something we cannot avoid unfortunately. I have written some information about this in a blog which you can read on our website http://www.yourabode.co.uk/Blog As soon as all references were in we sent the contract for you to sign using an electronic l ...

If you're going to rent in Bristol you need to accept that agency fees are at a pretty high level. Abode's fees are in line with what you'd expect to pay for a high-standard property in Bristol.
