Ad Hoc provides a smart and socially responsible solution for vacant property protection through Property Guardianship. Guardians enjoy affordable accommodation with flexible terms and, in many cases, utilities included, all while helping to keep otherwise empty buildings safe, secure, and maintained. For property owners, our approach offers a practical, cost‑effective and reliable alternative to traditional security methods. By placing vetted Guardians in buildings, we help reduce risks such as vandalism, squatting, and deterioration, ensuring properties remain protected and well‑looked‑after.

Federica was extremely helpful, communication with her was seamless.
From the start until the end of my tenancy Fed has really helped me out, from making it as swift and smooth as possible to get into a property as it was to move out from it.
Great communication always ! I felt heard and taken care of, and knowing that I’m now apart of the system I feel secure in the knowledge I could be a property guardian again in the future with so many interesting properties and places to choose from !
Saleem was very helpful in processing and made everything easy from start to finish. Thank you.

Federica is extremely helpful!
Should always be notified of room inspection prior to turning up though which I haven't been
My experience with Ad hoc,and Federicia in particular, have been great so far! I've been a guardian since 2024 and have lived in several properties under Ad hoc management, and each 1 has been memorable in its own way! There's no bells and whistles to the properties, you do get what you pay for, plus bills included, but there is always a nice personality to each property, and you get to meet nice new people.

This is my third guardianship and the transfer has been made very easy. A professional and friendly experience which i can't praise highly enough. Special mention to Federica who has been exceptional, always there to answer (my many) questions and helped everything go smoothly.

"I have been with Ad Hoc for the last 10 years and have been treated very well. The team is great; it's a good company with good people. I recommend it if you want to move quickly —this is it." And Federica was wonderful; she helped me move in and provided all the necessary information. The company is lucky to have her!"

FEDERICA is very professional and helpful in all aspects of our accommodation and helps to resolve issues immediately.
Thank you

Initially I decided against moving here because it was different.
However Fed gave me advice that suited me perfectly after I thought about it. So I changed my mind.
I’m glad I did. It’s great having this kind of independence.

Been with Adhock 4-5 years now. Moving place to place. Great value for money and some amazing people I’ve met along the way! Going to be hard moving into a home on my own one day lol!
Fed from Adhock makes our living situation very pleasant and always there when needed.
She’s very on it! Could ask for more!

I want to use this site to publicly say thanks to Ad Hoc Property Management Bristol team in front with Meliz Suan for the advertisement and booking me for viewing the accommodation, Julius Attere and Federica Ventimiglia for presenting me the property, and the persistance in handling my candidature. Fed is pretty and smart she helped me a lot with her perseverance 🤩👏🏼

Lauren is a pleasure to deal with. Highly efficient and willing to help in any way she can.

My experience with Federica Ventimiglia was absolutely wonderful. From the initial house viewing to staying in the property, she made everything simple and stress-free. Her professionalism and care made the process smooth and enjoyable. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for properties in Bath and Bristol.

This company is very very dodgy, believe these reviews at your own risk.
Firstly getting hold of this company is a massive nightmare. They don't respond to emails, I sent at least 5 trying to get some more information about a property and they were all ignored. I didn't understand why until I actually booked a viewing.
You need to be aware that all of Adhoc's properties are mis-advertised.
1) The price they advertise at is wrong. I went to view an en-suite room that was listed on their website and Spareroom for £500. When I got there, they told me all the rooms were £750. Obviously they do this on purpose to make you view the property, and potentially take it. Not because you want it but because you went on such a long journey to see it, but it's deceptive and unethical. And a massive waste of time.
2) They use a wide lense and digitally enhance all their photos, making the rooms look double the size. I viewed a few of their rooms and they all looked 80% smaller than the pictures, and were priced at least £200+ more than what was advertised. Again, another unethical tactic.
If you want to be a Guardian, you should really register with Live-in Guardians or The Lowe Group. They're reputable companies and don't deliberately mis-advertise properties. I rented a HUGE en-suite rooms for £600 with them (everything includef), now I'm paying £900 for a massive flat to myself. You don't need to let ad hoc scam you, there is better out there.
I promise you, all their listed prices are fake and their pictures either edited or taken using a wide lense that makes the rooms look 80% bigger. You can't trust them, they'll waste your time like they wasted mine three times.

I lived in two Ad Hoc properties in Bristol and Bath continuously for 4 years. Their processes were always straightforward, from the first viewing through to reporting maintenance faults, moving between properties, invoice queries, and eventually moving out. The staff are available—even out of hours—and make a real effort to build strong rapport with licensees so that everyone feels comfortable and informed. Any issues I had were resolved professionally, and I always felt looked after while staying in their properties. I would 100% recommend becoming a licensee with them in the South West. A special shoutout to Trina for her support over the 4 years, though all the staff work hard in what is a challenging and precarious sector. Thank you!
