Winner of the Prestige Awards 2025!

02 Oct 2025

Rent Happily has been voted the Residential Agency of the Year 2025 by the Prestige Awards. It recognises the excellence in reputation, service, and innovation.

What the judges say

Rent Happily is a residential lettings agency providing the most comprehensive rental experience in Bristol.
Founded by Boris Drappier, the agency has spent over a decade reshaping the way residential lettings are managed, proving that it’s possible to serve both landlords and tenants with comparable levels of fairness and respect. With a forward-thinking model that blends legal expertise with human understanding, Rent Happily offers full-service lettings management designed for private landlords who prioritise long-term outcomes and ethical practices. Tenant retention is more than 50% higher than the national average — a direct result of their values-led approach.

The judges were particularly impressed by Rent Happily’s track record of excellence and innovation across the board.
The team has consistently anticipated upcoming regulation, with procedures already aligned to the Renters’ Rights Bill — including fair rent policies, pet-friendly tenancies, and no renewals or bidding wars. Their online model ensures full transparency, with 24/7 access to accounts, safety records and tenancy documentation. Landlords benefit from consistent income, minimal voids and low arrears, while tenants enjoy long-term stability and trusted support. Rent Happily sets a high standard by blending people-first service with regulatory precision — earning glowing five-star reviews and industry-leading results. 

Highlight

Rent Happily is redefining lettings through ethics, innovation, and unmatched legal foresight — setting a new benchmark for trust and performance in the rental sector.

Testimonial

  • This is our first let with Rent Happily. We have used numerous letting agents in the past and we are amazed by how much better in every department this agency is. The level of organisation and efficiency is fantastic. They really know their stuff and are on top of all the legal, financial and practical details. Their systems work and they are responsive to concerns and queries. The tenant selection process is based on finding a good fit for the landlord, the tenant and the property. The commitment to treating both tenant and landlord fairly is something we far prefer given the lack of ethical standard commonly seen in this business. This approach really takes the stress out of letting out a property. These are qualities we did never expected to find in this business and so we feel very lucky to have found Rent Happily.
