  • Introduction

    Meet the team! 
    Our founding team was a mixture of local landlords and recent graduates who saw a big opportunity in the city to build a leading student letting agency; and that mix has continued ever since. This unique perspective allows us to relate to our landlords and tenants alike and therefore enhance the lives of both. Our team has over 100 years' experience in lettings and we can't wait to share it with you.

    Stuart Ray
    Managing Director 

    Having worked for the company for 14 years and wearing many hats, I've gained a lot of insight in how to get the very best out of each department at Coapt. Working together we have cultivated a positive working environment filled with ideas, innovation and change, and as a result, we have built a very successful and unique property business. It's the people who make Coapt what it is, and without their passion and determination to break the mould and deliver an excellent service, we wouldn't be where we are today. I'm experienced and educated in business and finance, and my main focus is to install vision and harness staff engagement to take our business to the next level.

      It's a rare find in the property management world
      I have been a landlord for several years and have dealt with numerous property management companies, but none have come close to the outstanding service provided by Hannah and the team at Coapt. From the very beginning, Hannah impressed me with her professionalism, dedication, and creativity. She went above and beyond to ensure that my property was filled quickly and with the right tenants, even in challenging market conditions.

      Her communication was always clear, timely, and reassuring, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. I cannot recommend Hannah highly enough-her commitment to excellence and genuine care for her clients truly sets her apart. It's a rare find in the property management world, and I'm incredibly grateful to have worked with her!
