Business Details

We are Coakley & Theaker, an independent estate agency founded in Bury St Edmunds in 1996. As of our 2021 anniversary, we had successfully sold property across Suffolk for 25 years, building a strong reputation for reliable, client-focused service. We specialise in residential property sales, lettings, free market valuations, virtual viewings and auction support for buyers, sellers, landlords and investors. Our operational coverage spans Bury St Edmunds and the surrounding villages, including Stowmarket, Sudbury, Haverhill, Newmarket, Thetford, Mildenhall and Diss. We offer both in-person and virtual property viewings and valuations, having adapted our service delivery to meet client needs during the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent market changes.

Free Valuations

We provide complimentary, no-obligation market appraisals for residential properties across our coverage area. Our experienced team uses up-to-date local market data to deliver accurate, transparent valuation figures. This service helps sellers set realistic asking prices and understand their propertys current market position.

Property Sales

We manage residential property sales for vendors across Bury St Edmunds and the surrounding Suffolk villages. Our team handles every stage of the sales process, from initial listing to completion, with regular progress updates. We use comprehensive marketing strategies to maximise exposure and attract qualified buyers for each listed property.

Property Lettings

We offer end-to-end property letting services for landlords and tenants across our Suffolk coverage area. Our team manages all aspects of the lettings process, from tenant sourcing and referencing to rent collection and property maintenance coordination. We provide clear, regular communication to both parties to ensure a smooth, hassle-free rental experience.

Virtual Viewings

We offer high-quality virtual property viewings for buyers, sellers and renters across all our listed properties. These remote viewings allow clients to explore properties in detail from the comfort of their own homes, saving time and travel costs. The service is ideal for clients based further afield or those unable to attend in-person viewings due to scheduling or accessibility constraints.

Auctions

We run regular residential property auctions for vendors looking for a fast, transparent property sale. Our auction process is fully compliant with industry regulations, with clear terms communicated to all bidders from the outset. This service is particularly suited to sellers seeking a quick sale or those with properties that may attract competitive bidding.

Simon at Coakley and Theaker was incredibly helpful from start to finish. Whilst he was the agent for the seller rather than myself he went out of his way to make the process as smooth as possible and was great at keeping me informed. Would absolutely recommend!

Very smooth and quick turn around on my property considering we had a Christmas break in between, Simon kept everything rolling along nicely and kept me in the loop at all times. Highly recomended and professional service. Many thanks Mark.

Simon was immensely helpful in showing us and then helping us buy our new property. He answered every daft question we had, and volunteered all sorts of useful information and advice. We couldn't have hoped for a better service, and have no hesitation in recommending Coakley & Theaker, and particularly Simon Theaker.

While Simon at Coakley was not our agent, he was our seller's agent and did a fantastic job of following up on every aspect of our purchase. He provided answers to every question and went above and beyond every need for us even though we weren't specifically his customers. Should we ever need to sell, would highly recommend.
