A Personal Approach to Property Management

At C. Coates, we don’t just manage properties—we take care of them like they’re our own. As a landlord myself, I understand what it takes to keep a property in great condition while ensuring a consistent return. I'm not a faceless agency. I'm Craig, and I’ll be your personal point of contact from day one.

High-Quality, Professional Tenants Only

I only rent to working professionals. Every tenant goes through a strict vetting process to make sure your property is respected and looked after. I live in and manage my own HMO, so I understand how to create a calm, tidy, and sustainable living environment.

Years of Hands-On Experience

From building a steel-framed office from scratch to maintaining my own home and cars for over a decade, I know how to spot issues before they become problems. You won’t get that kind of attention to detail from your average letting agent.

Fully Compliant & Hands-Off for You

Let me take the hassle out of property management. I’ll handle:

• Professional photography & marketing

• Guaranteed rent (even during void periods)

• Regular inspections & maintenance

• HMO compliance (if applicable)

Clear Communication, Zero Hidden Fees

You’ll always know where things stand. No fluff. No surprises. Just honest updates and professional results. I’m building a business on trust, transparency, and word-of-mouth—and it’s working.

What Sets Me Apart?

• Former Royal Navy service: discipline, reliability, and pride in my work

• IT & Website Pro: clear reporting and digital ease-of-use

• Experienced in refurbs, lettings, and managing trades

• Strong focus on long-term relationships, not just quick deals

• I’ve invested in education and training to do this right

• Based in East Grinstead and working across Sussex, Kent & Surrey
