Rent to Rent Bristol
Turn your Bristol property into a guaranteed 3–5 year income. We sign a commercial lease with you, pay a fixed monthly rent every month regardless of occupancy, and manage the property as a fully-licensed serviced accommodation.

What owners get from rent to rent with us in Bristol
Fixed monthly rent
Paid on the same day every month for the full 3–5 year term, in or out of season, regardless of occupancy or arrears. Standing order, straight to your account.
Zero voids, zero arrears
You're not letting to a tenant — you're leasing to AV Property. Our covenant, not a stranger's. No Section 21, no Section 8, no eviction risk.
Property professionally maintained
Cleaned 60–120 times a year, inspected weekly, minor maintenance under threshold handled at our cost. Property returned in better condition than a single-tenant AST.
All compliance and licensing handled
STL licence (Scotland), English register, London 90-day rule, HMO rules, Gas Safe, EICR, PAT, insurance — every line item is our responsibility for the term of the lease.
Why Bristol works for rent to rent
Harbourside, Clifton and Redcliffe apartments typically achieve £110–£180 nightly, with Balloon Fiesta and event peaks materially higher. Corporate mid-stays around Filton and Aztec West provide reliable off-peak occupancy.
Bristol rewards professionally styled, well-photographed listings — a slightly design-led market where good properties clearly outperform average ones.

Frequently asked questions
Typically 105–125% of open-market AST rent for the same property, locked for 3–5 years. Exact figures depend on the city, size and condition of the property — we quote a firm number after a free 48-hour valuation.
Yes, when set up correctly. It's a commercial lease with explicit sublet permission, not an AST. You need mortgage consent-to-let, freeholder permission where a lease applies, and appropriate insurance — we walk landlords through all three.
You have the same remedies as any commercial landlord. In practice, our portfolio, filed accounts, professional indemnity cover and property redress registration make default extremely unlikely. Ask for references from live rent-to-rent landlords — we'll provide them.
3 to 5 years is standard. We invest £4,000–£10,000 per property in furniture and onboarding, so short contracts don't work commercially for us — you get the benefit of a long lock-in.
No. We furnish, style and photograph the property at our cost as part of onboarding. You get it back at the end of the term furnished to a higher standard than most landlords would provide themselves.
