Estate agents in Coventry

Alternative Estates opened its doors in January 1990 with a clear vision: to provide a genuine, transparent, and refreshing alternative to traditional estate agency services.

For more than 35 years, we’ve earned a strong reputation for combining professional standards with a warm, friendly, and approachable environment. Our long-standing success reflects the strength of our ethical, customer focused business model.

Our sales team includes three highly experienced valuers Conor Nixon, Susan Maher and Nick Green, whose extensive knowledge is supported by a dedicated sales and administration team. Together, we ensure every client receives a personable yet professional service tailored to their needs.

We recognise that selling, buying, or letting a property is a major decision. That’s why we offer a complimentary, no‑obligation home visit, during which we provide an accurate and realistic valuation of your property. We also explain the costs involved in moving or renting and outline the most effective marketing strategies for your home. After our visit, you’ll receive written confirmation of our valuation, supported by detailed local market comparisons.

At Alternative Estates, our aim is to make your property journey as smooth, straightforward, and stress‑free as possible. Whether you’re moving home or expanding your property portfolio, you can rely on us for exceptional service delivered with a personal touch.

Please get in touch to arrange a consultation or to find out more about how we can help.

Alternative Estates was founded in January 1990 with the aim of offering a modern, transparent, and customer‑focused alternative to traditional estate agency. In 2007, we expanded our services to include Lettings and Property Management, acquiring the portfolio of a competing agent. This allowed us to quickly establish a strong and reputable presence within the local lettings market.

Over the years, we have learned that maintaining high standards across our managed properties attracts reliable tenants and significantly reduces the risk of rent arrears. Our professionally prepared documentation and efficient online application process reinforce the professional service our tenants and landlords can expect.

Our fully managed service is delivered by experienced staff, supported by continuous training for new team members. We have developed a trusted network of skilled contractors, ensuring that every property we manage is maintained to a high standard.

We pride ourselves on taking a hands‑on, common‑sense approach to property management. Each property is treated with the same care as if it were our own, while ensuring all legal and administrative requirements are met to safeguard your investment.

Client protection is at the heart of what we do. As Propertymark‑protected agents, our client account is independently audited each year, and we hold comprehensive client money protection insurance. We also benefit from daily compliance guidance from our professional body, along with access to a specialist legal helpline for lettings‑related matters. In addition, our clients are protected by The Property Ombudsman Service—an independent redress scheme should any issues ever fall outside of our internal procedures.

For deposit protection, we use The Dispute Service, which provides an independent adjudicator to resolve any end‑of‑tenancy disagreements fairly and transparently.

At Alternative Estates, your peace of mind is our priority. We are committed to delivering a secure, ethical, and transparent lettings experience for every landlord and tenant we serve.
