What makes Bristol different
Bristol is home to two universities (UoB and UWE) and a substantial professional rental market across BS6 and BS7. Tenancy turnover peaks late June through early September. Local property mix: Georgian terraces around Clifton, Victorian conversions through Redland and Bishopston, new-build flats in the Harbourside and Temple Quarter, plus a large HMO market near the universities.
Most agents use AIIC inventory standards; deposits are held via DPS, MyDeposits or TDS.
Sensitive cleaning on period stock
Period properties need a slightly gentler touch — original sash windows, lime-plaster walls, lath-and-plaster ceilings and softwood floorboards don't behave like modern equivalents. We use lower-pressure techniques in old kitchens and bathrooms, and we know which finishes (e.g. shellac on a Georgian banister) shouldn't see modern solvents. On handyman jobs we use timber-fixings on lath-and-plaster ceilings rather than plasterboard plugs.
