Guide to Renting Property

At Alexander May, we’re here to help you find the right place and feel safe and happy as a tenant in Bristol and North Somerset. The Bristol renting market can seem a bit crazy, it often moves very fast since demand is so high, so we’ve got some advice to help you out and make sure the renting hunt doesn’t get the better of you.

It’s always best to register

If you register with Alexander May, you’ll be able to see all our rental properties as soon as they are launched. Setting up alerts on Rightmove for the specific requirements you’re after can be another great tip. Things do move fast, so as soon as you see a property you’re interested in, call the agent!

We’ve got you covered

There are no silly questions here. So whether you’re renting for the first time or the tenth time, our team are always on hand to guide you through the process and help you with any queries or concerns that may crop up. We will remain your first port of call regarding any property you rent through us.

Tenants deserve respect

There are too many renting horror stories out there - there shouldn’t be any in our opinion. So when you rent a property that we manage, we make sure you’re always treated fairly and respectfully as a tenant. From the minute you walk through our office doors, we’re here to give you the best experience we can. All properties on our site are compliant with all legislation and UK law.

Once you’ve found your property

When you’ve found the right place for you and decide it’s the one you’d like to rent, you’ll be asked to fill in a form from our website to begin the process. From there, any money paid is held in a fully insured client account protected by the CMP. All deposits are held by a third party government-backed scheme called the Deposit Protect Service.
