Coleman Estates in short
Coleman Estates is a Wellington estate and letting agent working from Church Street, with sales, lettings and valuation routes on its site and a history stretching back to the late nineties. What stands out is price transparency: landlord charges are published, from Tenant Find tiers to a stated management rate with the VAT position. Two offices and separate seller, landlord, buyer and tenant routes give the site more structure than most in the round.
On services, the record shows sales and lettings from two offices with separate seller, landlord, buyer and tenant routes and a valuation route [1]. The firm works from Church Street in Wellington, serving Stafford, Broseley and Albrighton beyond Telford. Landlord charges carry a published scale with the VAT position [2].
Customers rate the firm highly: 4.8 from 518 Google reviews, among the deepest customer records in this round. Across the held sources that Google base is the only customer evidence, so the story rests on a single platform. The limited company has been active for more than twenty-five years. The redress register, the landlord pages and the company record carry the compliance side.
Our view is that Coleman Estates suits sellers and landlords who want an experienced Wellington firm with its landlord scale on show and redress on the register. What counts against it is the missing sale commission rate and cover, neither of which is stated on the pages checked. The published scale suits landlords who want numbers before first contact.
Our verdict
Our view is that Coleman Estates suits sellers and landlords who want an experienced Wellington firm with its landlord scale on show and redress on the register [2] [3].

Questions about Coleman Estates
Is Coleman Estates any good?
The evidence says yes: fourth in our Telford commercial property agents table, with its landlord scale published upfront and strong Google reviews. It suits sellers and landlords who want charges on show before first contact. Read the full review, then ask for a valuation. Read the strengths and limitations on its card for what sits behind the position.
Is Coleman Estates Safeagent accredited?
Safeagent accreditation with client money protection is stated on its own landlord pages [2]. The firm also appears on the Property Ombudsman register [3]. Confirm the current position with the office when you request your valuation, since memberships can change. Ask which schemes cover the commercial side specifically if your job mixes shops with flats.
What does Coleman Estates charge?
Landlord charges are published with the VAT position, from Tenant Find tiers to a twelve per cent management rate [2]. Sale commission is not published. Send your full landlord requirements and ask for the exact sale rate, including VAT and marketing, in writing before you agree to anything. Bring a second written quote on the same scope so the two compare line by line.
Where does Coleman Estates work?
The firm sits on Church Street in Wellington and serves Telford including Stafford, Broseley and Albrighton. Send your postcode with the unit details to confirm you are inside its patch. Contact routes and the valuation form are on the company website. Include the unit type as well as the postcode, since commercial cover varies by job.
How is Coleman Estates ranked?
It ranks fourth of the ten commercial property agents in our September round, the pick for openly published fees upfront. Belvoir sits just above it with its mortgages alongside. Read the full review first, then ask for your free valuation. The scorecard behind the position carries an evidence date, so check how fresh it is.
What do customers say about Coleman Estates?
Google is the whole customer story here: 4.8 from 518 reviews, among the deepest customer records in this round. No other review platform sits in the held evidence, so treat that single base as indicative rather than complete. Read a spread of the recent reviews themselves for the recurring themes before you weigh the score.
How do I get a quote from Coleman Estates?
Start with the free valuation route on the company site: send the unit type, size, current use and lease position, plus whether you are selling, letting or handing over management. Ask for the full fee in return — basis of appointment, calculation, VAT, marketing and tie-in — in a written quote on that scope. Compare it line by line with a second quote before you sign.
How does Coleman Estates compare with the others in the round?
It sits fourth of ten, the transparency pick behind Belvoir's combined offer and ahead of DB Roberts Wellington's chartered backing. Its review base is among the deepest here; its gap is sale commission, unpublished like every rival. Compare its landlord scale line by line with Newton Fallowell's table. Its two-office footprint sits between single-branch rivals and the four-office scale of Barbers.
