Bristol Digs

Bristol Digs, also known as Digs Residential Lettings and Digs Lettings and Management, is a well-established letting and property management agency based in Bristol. The company was founded in 2011 and has since grown to serve the city's student and professional populations. It specialises in providing an extensive range of rental accommodation for both students and young professionals across Bristol. The firm operates from a prominent high street location in the heart of the city, specifically a treble-fronted unit at the top of Jacobs Wells Road, which is situated amidst a vibrant area known for its student activity.

This central positioning allows for constant walk-in enquiries and provides an accessible, personal service to its clientele. A significant part of Bristol Digs' operations is dedicated to student accommodation. The company manages and lets student properties in Bristol, offering a diverse selection that ranges from studio apartments to large houses with up to ten bedrooms. These properties are designed to cater to students seeking to live independently or share with friends.

Bristol Digs ensures that all its student properties meet current regulations, with many being licensed Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and registered with Bristol City Council. The firm maintains long-standing relationships with students and both of Bristol's universities, solidifying its position as a student property specialist in the city. Bristol Digs offers comprehensive services for landlords, ranging from 'let only' options to full property management. The company provides a free, no-obligation valuation service to help landlords understand their property's rental potential.

A key aspect of its service is a robust, in-house tenant screening process, which landlords value for producing better tenancies and reducing risks such as arrears, property damage, or early terminations. Furthermore, Bristol Digs utilises industry-leading Matterport technology to create fully immersive 3D video property tours for all its landlords. This technology is proven to increase tenant engagement, accelerate the letting cycle, and minimise time-wasting viewings, offering a significant benefit, particularly for overseas tenants. The company places a strong emphasis on legal compliance and professional standards.

Bristol Digs is a member of ARLA Propertymark, serving as a legal and compliance safety net for its clients. The firm is recognised as the only Propertymark accredited student specialist agency in Bristol, demonstrating its commitment to high standards and ethical practices. The team at Bristol Digs comprises experienced and knowledgeable individuals across dedicated departments, including Administration, Valuation and Lettings, Finance, and Property Management. This experienced and longstanding team ensures continuity in service, allowing clients to build trusted relationships rather than repeatedly engaging with new faces.

Bristol Digs operates primarily within a two-mile radius of its central office, serving popular areas such as Clifton, Cotham, Redland, and the City Centre. Beyond student housing, the company also offers properties for young professionals, couples, or families, including cosy studio flats, large detached family homes, and luxury waterfront apartments. The firm maintains a strong customer service ethos, prioritising the interests of both landlords and tenants. This approach, combined with its comprehensive service offerings and commitment to ethical practices, has contributed to its growth and reputation within Bristol's rental market.
