Bowerhill sits on the south-eastern side of Melksham, about a mile and three quarters from the town centre, with more than 1,000 homes and a busy trading estate. A primary school, a pub, shops and hundreds of jobs within the same community suit families and first-time renters.
Our property management team manages homes across Bowerhill and its neighbouring villages, with lettings and viewings handled by our Devizes office. Whether you want us to find a tenant and collect the rent, or take care of everything from repairs to compliance, we can help.

Areas we manage around Bowerhill: Melksham, Berryfield, Semington, Seend, Sells Green, Shaw, Whitley, Beanacre and Broughton Gifford.
Bowerhill Primary School is in the village, and Melksham Oak Community School, the town's secondary for ages 11 to 18, is on its north-eastern edge. Melksham station, a short drive north, has trains on the TransWilts line between Swindon and Westbury.
The average private rent across Wiltshire was £1,091 a month in September 2026, up 5.8% on a year earlier, according to the Office for National Statistics. At that level, a single empty month costs around £1,091 in lost rent, which is why we focus on finding the right tenant quickly and keeping good tenants in place at renewal.
The rules have also changed. Section 21 ended on 1 May 2026, every tenancy is now periodic and possession runs through Section 8 grounds. Our team is trained on the Renters' Rights Act and manages the statutory checks, documents and notice periods so your position is defensible if it is ever tested.

Our Property Management in Practice
Three recent examples of how our team responds when something goes wrong.
Sleeves Rolled Up, Hands On
A blocked drain flooded a basement flat with standing water. Rather than passing it to an out-of-hours service, our property manager was on site within 15 minutes.
They helped the tenant move furniture clear, started the clean up and bought a wet vac to extract the water the same day, limiting the damage to the landlord’s property.
Heating Failure on a Saturday
In midwinter a tenant’s heating failed, and the landlord’s emergency cover could not send an engineer for five days.
Five cold nights was not an option. Our property manager went out that Saturday afternoon, bought two fan heaters and delivered them to the flat so the tenant had warmth while the repair was arranged.
Handling a Sensitive Situation
A landlord needed to sell, which should have meant simply serving notice. The tenant was living with dementia and did not understand what a notice to leave her home meant.
We worked with local health and social services, built trust with her sister as next of kin, and kept the landlord informed. She was supported through the move, and the sale went ahead.
