John Coates

John is understood to be the first agent to successfully use permitted development rights for an agricultural to residential conversion in England. He makes his clients aware of relevant opportunities they should exploit and is always seeking those little things that can be done better.

John believes long-term relationships, built on trust, are the key to success. He takes pleasure formulating plans to improve clients’ property and delivering consistent improvements which everyone can be proud of. As his clients’ “go to man” John is always ready and willing to act.

John’s wide-ranging experience, coupled with his position within a dedicated multi-disciplinary office of experts, allows him to call on a range of specialisms in order to quickly provide clients with a level of detailed advice that sets him apart from his peers.

His favourite part of the job is its variety – be it securing planning permission for employees’ cottages; erecting grain stores; negotiating all manner of tenancies; buying and selling farms, woodland, houses and development sites or; helping clients get the most out of infrastructure projects.
