There are many lettings agents providing a nationwide service and they do of course offer some advantages to those looking for a rental property. However, at Reside we feel if you want to rent a property in our beautiful Georgian city, only a lettings agents in Bath can provide tenants and landlords with the comprehensive and peace of mind service that a local agent offers.
So why do I say this?
Well… because we are based in Bath we offer a more personal and tailor made service to tenants and landlords, specific to the city we know and love, than nationwide agents can.
As Bath Based Lettings Agents, We Know (and Love) Our City!
Reside opened its doors in Bath in 2008. Since that time we have managed and let thousands of properties in Bath and the surrounding locales.
As one of the most respected lettings agents in Bath (we’re Bath Property Awards winners!), we know a thing or two about our city. You can’t beat local knowledge and because all of our staff live in Bath and the surrounding area, we’ve an unbeatable wealth of information!
Bath is an incredible place and we love living and working here! Ask any member of our team and they’ll tell you why just as enthusiastically as any visitor who has come and fallen in love with it.
With so much history and beauty literally on our doorstep (we’re based right in the centre of Bath), we feel privileged to be able to let properties on behalf of our landlords and help potential tenants find the perfect property for them, whether it’s a contemporary city apartment in Bath city centre or a sprawling Georgian estate on the outskirts!
We have an extensive knowledge of Bath and the areas surrounding because we operate and live here. It’s difficult for nationwide lettings agents to know as much as we do and in as much depth.
When originally viewing properties, I was welcomed with a friendly face and a passion for the area, this sparked in me butterflies of excitement and an eagerness to reside in this beautiful city.
The company has many years of experience and knowledge of the Bath rental market and we like the fact that they specialise in lettings only.
We Have Close Connections With Bath Businesses
Because we’re based locally, we support other local Bath businesses. We’ve built relationships with many over the years including trades people who know how to get things done fast.
Our network of local contractors help us manage all the properties in our portfolio, carrying out maintenance and repairs quickly and professionally whenever required. Because they’re local to Bath too, we can respond quickly to address anything that needs attention.
But don’t take our word for it! Here’s what people have said about us:
The flat I lived in was a gem of apartment, they have always been very approachable and professional and whenever there was something to be fixed they responded promptly.
Easily the best letting agent we have used over 7 years and were always very helpful with any house issues.
Since moving in the team at reside have been excellent at helping to resolve any minor issues that come with settling into a new place.

We Sponsor Local Events
You might have heard we enjoy boules!
Last year we were one of the sponsors of Bath Boules… a much-loved and long standing boules tournament that takes place in Queen Square each year around June.
We’ve had a great deal of success in the past and have won the tournament several times!
But winning isn’t everything. The Bath Boules tournament is run by the Bath Boules Trust (a registered charity), which distributes funds raised to a variety of local causes. We’re extremely proud to play a part in helping to raise funds
Events like Bath Boules also helps to strengthen our relationships with other local businesses. We believe we are the best letting agents in Bath but we can’t make this claim without acknowledging the support of the Bath business community.
Nationwide lettings agents cannot commit to local communities and community events in the same way we do.
You Can Talk to Us Face to Face
We’re not faceless voices at the end of a phone!
For people moving to Bath, you can talk to us face to face six days a week in our cosy and friendly office: there’s no calling someone you’re never going to meet. We feel this provides a more personal service and a solid foundation for us to work with you throughout the period of your tenancy.
If you’re already a tenant in one of our Bath properties, we’re always happy for you to drop by to say hello!
Landlords also benefit from a having a lettings agent on their doorstep… so to speak! All the advantages of a Bath city centre office our tenants enjoy, extend to our landlords as well.
We believe our local presence is vital to understand and appreciate not just the Bath area, but to provide a place that’s easy for our tenants and landlords to reach any time our office is open… sometimes outside of normal hours too!
Lettings agents who aren’t based in Bath can’t offer that!
Subject to approval by both Houses of Parliament, landlords and letting agents will need to ensure electrical installation inspections and testing are carried out for all new tenancies in England from 1st July 2020, or from 1st April 2021 for existing tenancies.“We are supportive of this concept and believe it will create a level playing field for all agents and landlords as well as ensuring improved safety standards for tenants. Mandating inspecting and testing of every fixed electrical installation should have a limited impact on good professional landlords and agents in the market, many of whom already voluntarily undertake these inspections.”
It’s really no exaggeration to say that if a landlord chooses the wrong letting agent and compounds that error by renting their property to a tenant who has not been properly vetted, one thing is usually guaranteed – trouble. And often a lot of it.
The next part of the process is one where less well-equipped or experienced agencies often fail.
