Letting Agents in the Bath & North East Somerset Area

This list is made up of letting agents SWAN has dealt with while administering the Bath and District Deposit Bond Scheme and those who responded to a questionnaire carried out by SWAN in partnership with Bath & North East Somerset Council.  They are listed alphabetically.  Although we keep our list up to date as far as we can, the businesses listed here can change their charges and policies when they wish.  Also, we cannot guarantee that they have properties to let at any particular time.  The fact that a business is listed here does not mean that SWAN, the Deposit Bond Scheme or Bath & North East Somerset Council endorse it in any way.  There are other agencies who may have property to let in Bath and North East Somerset.
