ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Cope & Co. began with a simple idea: that property should feel more personal. Founded as a family-run agency in Derbyshire, we set out to create a service that values people just as much as property. No jargon, no cold calls - just genuine conversations, expert advice and a deep-rooted commitment to doing right by our clients.
Over the years, we’ve grown - combining modern technology with real-world experience. But our values haven’t changed. Compassion, Commitment, and Collaboration remain at the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re a first-time landlord, a seasoned seller, or somewhere in between, our story is about helping you write the next chapter of yours - with confidence, clarity, and care.
COPE&CO VALUES.
COMPASSION
Property is personal - and we never forget that. At Cope & Co., compassion means putting ourselves in your shoes, understanding the emotions behind every move and supporting you through each decision with patience and respect. We’re not here to rush you, we’re here to guide you. Whether you're dealing with a tricky tenancy, a life-changing sale, or simply unsure where to start, our team listens before we act. We build trust through empathy, not pressure - because when people feel understood, they make better property choices.
COMMITMENT
At Cope & Co., commitment means showing up - every step of the way. We don’t clock off when things get complicated or hand you off to someone else halfway through. Whether you’re selling, letting or navigating a bump in the road, we stay by your side until the job’s done. This isn’t about ticking boxes or chasing quick wins. It’s about doing what we say we will, when we say we will. We believe in long-term relationships, not short-term transactions. Commitment works both ways.
COLLABORATION
We believe the best results come from working with you, not just for you. At Cope & Co., collaboration is at the core of our service - keeping you informed, involved and empowered throughout the process. We listen, we advise, and we act together, making decisions that are right for you, not just convenient for us. Whether it's coordinating with trusted partners, liaising between landlords and tenants, or tailoring marketing strategies for sellers, we know that open communication and teamwork lead to smarter outcomes.
THE COPING MECHANISM
The Coping Mechanism - What is it?
We all have a coping mechanism. That instinctive strategy we lean on when life throws us a curveball – be it humour, control, compartmentalising, or calling in the experts. It’s how we stay afloat, stay sane and stay focused when the pressure builds.
In a world that rarely slows down and often demands more than it gives, a good coping mechanism is essential.
At Cope & Co., we’ve designed our services to be your coping mechanism for your property decisions.
The Coping Mechanism - For Landlords
Being a landlord today means navigating a relentless stream of legal updates, tenant demands, rent arrears, property maintenance and, just to keep things interesting, a constantly shifting legislative landscape.
That’s where our Coping Mechanism comes in. We absorb the chaos, translate the red tape, and take on the tasks you don’t have time or patience for.
Whether it’s compliance headaches, awkward conversations, or full-service management, we are here to provide the solutions.
The Coping Mechanism - For Sellers
Selling a property is a big deal. It’s emotional, unpredictable, and, if we’re honest, can sometimes feel like a circus without a ringmaster. That's why we created ‘The Coping Mechanism’; our approach to turning confusion into clarity.
At Cope & Co., we’ve combined decades of experience, industry insight, and a genuine understanding of people to build a sales process that works with you to achieve the outcome that you desire.
‘The Coping Mechanism’ is our way of guiding sellers through every stage of the journey with confidence and control.
