Coapt, estate agents in Brighton and Hove

Coapt is an estate agency based in Brighton (UK) that presents itself as the city's largest independent sales and letting agency. Its activity focuses on lettings to students and professionals, property management for landlords and investors, and residential sales. The company describes itself as a team of locals for locals and states that it knows Brighton and Hove inside out.

Student lettings

Coapt presents itself as a specialist agent in student accommodation in Brighton and Hove, with more than 400 student houses in the area. It works with universities and institutions in the city, including the University of Brighton, the University of Sussex, BIMM, WaterBear and creative schools such as MET Film School and Performers College. The team takes part in welcome fairs and applicant days, where it offers same-day viewings and accommodation advice.

The agency offers students the possibility of contacting via WhatsApp to receive a personalised shortlist of properties, both for large shared houses and for smaller final-year flats. Among the services aimed at this audience are student properties, a student community, FAQs, bills-included accommodation and fees.

Professional lettings

For professional tenants, Coapt markets flats and houses in Brighton and Hove and targets diverse profiles: people who love cooking and are looking for space, home workers who need a quiet office, or families who want a garden. The company states that it shares local knowledge about the city, from routes to schools, coffee shops or dog-friendly pubs, and supports the tenant throughout the search, the signing of the contract and the move-in.

Services for landlords and investors

Coapt targets landlords and property investors with lettings management services and market advice. The company states that it has experience in HMOs (houses in multiple occupation) and portfolio management, and claims to manage hundreds of properties and some of the city's largest HMO portfolios. Its advice is based, according to its presentation, on direct experience of managing large portfolios in Brighton and Hove, with monitoring of rental trends, changes in demand, legislation and long-term investment performance.

For investors who are buying, expanding their portfolio or selling, the agency offers access to opportunities, buyers and market knowledge. It also makes available to landlords services, articles and insights, tenancy preferences and fees, as well as a tool to request a property valuation, in person or virtual.

Residential sales

Coapt's residential sales team combines local market knowledge with modern marketing and a personal approach, according to its description, to help properties stand out and achieve the best possible result. The agency presents itself as more than a conventional estate agent and offers services, properties for sale, articles and fees within this area.

Team and editorial activity

The company highlights that its team is made up of former students and residents of Brighton, with local knowledge and clear communication. It publishes a news feed with content such as a promotion for a free cocktail at Revolution Bar and an analysis of the government's first-time buyer scheme announced in September 2026. It also regularly recognises outstanding employees, such as HR coordinator Jenni, senior lettings negotiator Patrick Hession, sales manager Adam, Florence, administration manager Emma Williamson and finance administrator Firdows.

Service structure

The website organises its offering into five main areas: lettings, students, landlords, sales and news. Each area includes subsections for services, properties, articles, FAQs and fees. The company also offers a newsletter and a contact form for valuations.
