Welcome to Bates & Co

Bates & Co is a leading estate and letting agent in Hailsham, covering Eastbourne, Polegate, Stone Cross, Langney, Herstmonceux, Ninfield and surrounding areas.We specialise in both property sales and lettings, helping homeowners, landlords and investors achieve the best possible results through modern marketing, proactive communication and industry-leading technology.

As the only 24-hour estate agency in Hailsham, we never miss an enquiry. Every viewing request, valuation lead and buyer enquiry is responded to instantly — ensuring your property never loses momentum on the market. Most estate agents still operate 9–5, meaning valuable enquiries are often missed, delayed, or followed up too late. However, research shows that responding to a new enquiry within 5 minutes makes you up to 21 times more likely to convert that lead. In a competitive property market, that delay can be the difference between securing a viewing or losing a serious buyer altogether.

At Bates & Co, our systems and processes ensure every enquiry is handled immediately — day or night — maximising viewing opportunities and giving your property the best possible chance of achieving strong offers. Our approach to selling property is built around premium marketing and maximum exposure. With the largest social media following of any agent in the local area, combined with targeted digital campaigns, we generate high levels of interest and convert that interest into viewings and offers.We also utilise advanced technology and AI-driven systems to track, nurture and convert buyer enquiries — meaning no opportunity is missed and every potential purchaser is followed up professionally.

Whether you are looking to sell your property, let your home, or source your next investment, Bates & Co provides a tailored, results-driven service designed to maximise your return and minimise stress. If you are not achieving the results you expect from your current estate agent, or you are considering bringing your property to market, we would be delighted to discuss how we can help.
