So far I have come across only 12 month contracts or student accommodations who are unwilling to take on young professionals. Thank you in advance for any tips.

Hi Angela, I was placed in Bristol for my first placement too, and found it very difficult to find any 8-month contracts. I would recommend that you try spareroom.com to try and find flexible landlords who may offer shorter contracts.

Hi Ben, thanks for your response. Any recommendations for locations? Also is parking on site an option?

Hi Kittiwish, how far away from the office was your accommodation?

20-30 mins walk from Clifton to Canons House (Harbourside).
My postcode was BS8 though. Close to the University, with loads of restaurants in the area.

There are a few different areas you might consider based on budget-

Clifton/Redland: 20-30 mins walk
Harbourside: 1 min wallk (really expensive!)
City Centre: 15-20 mins walk
Southville/Bedminster: 20 mins walk

Great. Thanks Kittiwish and Ben.
Was it easier to find shared accommodation or place just for yourselves?

A lot cheaper to find shared accommodation as you can split bills and rent costs! I found it quite easy to find people to share with on Spareroom.
If you have any other questions drop me an email [email protected]
