Formed in 2006 by Co-Directors Scott White and Darran Cohen, Property Cafe soon became established and grew to be the number 1 choice of Estate Agent in Bexhill. In 2014 our Block Management division was established & our portfolio soon grew, along with our reputation for being professional, approachable and proactive. In 2018, we acquired ‘Findley and Son’ shortly followed by ‘Fairways Management’, these purchases led to the decision that, to enable us to offer our clients the best possible service, we should run Block Management as a completely separate company thus ‘Findley's Of Cooden’ was born.

Making Things Simple
As many Residents’ Associations and Committees have found, the extent of legislation and the weight of legal obligations, some of which can create criminal liability on owners and those responsible for the buildings, make the management of properties a highly onerous task. Considerable knowledge and experience is required to undertake effective building management. At Findleys of Cooden we can relieve you of that burden, assist you with day-to-day block management matters and protect your interests.

We believe well-made buildings are maintained better through well-made relationships, which is why we always return calls or emails within 24-hours. Understanding that nothing beats face-to-face communication, we carry out regular site visits and the option to host drop-in clinics at our properties to ensure we’re always available to talk in person.

Careful financial management of your estate is crucial to ensure that all repairs, insurances, planned improvements and major works can be funded and carried out. Our accounts team work to ensure your property manager and you have access to accurate and clear information to enable informed and timely decisions to be made. In addition, our team ensures that service charge, ground rent and insurance demands are sent promptly to all leaseholders and that proactive credit control procedures are in place to avoid any cash flow problems throughout the year. Through careful liaison with our clients, we can establish and maintain an appropriate reserve fund for all developments (if required), providing a buffer for any major or planned repairs that come along; this provision also enhances the value of each block/unit.
