They were looking for a home to rent but the minefield of letting agents pushing a multitude of properties that didn’t meet their brief resulted in a time-consuming and frustrating experience.

There was a clear need for a bespoke lettings agency in Bristol that would specialise in matching quality apartments and houses with individuals, couples and families who preferred to work with an agency who immediately understood their requirement, accurately filtered suitable properties and provided a personal, intuitive service that made the potentially stressful business of moving, pleasurable and calm.

In 1990, Sarah Kenny Residential Lettings was launched, with the first office being located in Sarah’s spare bedroom! Eight months later and with eight managed properties, Sarah teamed up with fellow director Peter Allen and they moved into a Clifton-based office.

Fast forward thirty years and the business is still thriving. With a professional background in HR, Sarah has always prioritised the happiness and well-being of her team members who she firmly believes are the heart of the business. Having a healthy work-life balance where every member of the team feels valued and appreciated is reflected in the calibre of service provided to our clients.

Comment on agent fees
The fees are incredibly high for the amount of admin required. I don't think it's fair to charge the tenant so much when their services are enacted by the landlord not the tenant. Advertising is unecessary, most people search for flats in a certain area with certain specifications (using rightmove or equivalent) and so it's not as if you're drawn in by the agent and then choose the property. The tenancy agreements are all online and so there's not even any real paperwork. I just think for the work involved and the cost of materials £550 is a bit excessive. If they do need to remain then I beliieve they should be shared between landlord and tenant. I realise that the fees are in place for all agents across the UK and so I'm hoping at some point the government will place restrictions to these large admin costs, until then - this is the world we live in.
