Independent East London lettings and management
Personal, transparent lettings and property management for landlords across London, with a particular focus on East London and North London. From finding the right tenant to looking after the property day to day, you deal with experienced people who genuinely care about the outcome.
East London and North London landlords
Whether you need a strong tenant-find service or someone to stay close to the detail after move-in, Central Gate Estates keeps the process practical, personal and clear for landlords across London.
For landlords
From the first conversation to move-in, we help you present the property well, find the right tenant and keep the practical steps moving.
For landlords
Keep the day-to-day details moving with direct tenant communication, secure records, maintenance coordination and contractor costs passed on without mark-ups.
Why Central Gate Estates
Traditional agency service can feel distant once the deal is done. Our approach is deliberately more personal: clear fees, direct communication and a steady hand from the first enquiry onwards.
Nearly two decades in the property industry, with a service shaped by real experience of what landlords and tenants need.
Straightforward pricing for tenant placement, renewals and management, set out clearly from the start.
Choose your preferred level of communication and deal with people who know the property rather than a rotating department.
Contractor charges are passed on without additional fees or mark-ups, keeping maintenance costs easier to understand.
Ongoing management is available at a straightforward yearly fixed rate, without a fixed-term contract requirement.
Based in Shoreditch, we focus on suitable properties across East London and North London while continuing to work with landlords across London.

About the people
After nearly two decades in the industry, Claire Bruce, co-founder of Central Gate Estates, became disillusioned with excessive commission rates, poor customer service and the lack of care that can follow a completed deal.
Central Gate Estates was built around a more consistent, transparent, proactive and honest service. Claire and Bradley are available through direct contact, so you know who to speak to.
