Hopewell founders Maxwell Hope and Adam Kershaw met as students and in 2001 began buying and renovating student properties. Adam’s later experience working for a letting agency gave him invaluable experience into an industry he had come to love and in 2011 he declared to Maxwell that he wanted to start a lettings agency.
Starting off as landlords, before becoming property developers, Maxwell and Adam developed a deep knowledge of the industry at all levels. Creating a Bristol letting agency was the natural next step.
Formed in 2013, Hopewell was set up with the intention of bringing together Maxwell and Adam’s many combined years of experience in the property industry, along with their shared love of Bristol; the city they both grew up and live in.
The passion remains and the adventure continues…
Today Hopewell manages over 200 properties from its headquarters in Bristol’s thriving city centre.
Our friendly close knit team are all Bristol residents and hugely passionate about the city and what it has to offer visitors. This passion for Bristol comes through in everything we do, whether it’s passing our local knowledge on to our customers or finding people the right properties in the right areas.
We have plenty of opinions on what’s hot in Bristol right now, as well as the unique character and charm of so many different areas and suburbs, so be sure to ask!
