SMART INVESTMENT. PRACTICAL DEVELOPMENT. REAL-WORLD RESULTS.
Hi there, and a warm welcome to Rushbanks Properties! I’m Gareth Bates – property developer, investor, and outdoor business owner – and I’m so glad you’re here.
At Rushbanks Properties, we specialise in both investment opportunities and property development – helping people like you grow your wealth through smart, sustainable projects across Suffolk, Essex and London.
With over a decade of experience running a thriving land-based business in rural Suffolk, I now focus on transforming underused spaces – from disused offices and empty shops to barns and land with untapped potential.
Our approach is simple: Innovative Property Solutions that create a win-win for all stakeholders – delivering strong returns for investors, practical value for communities, and lasting outcomes for everyone involved.
WHAT WE DO
📅 Residential
We create and manage well-located homes for long-term tenants and families, focusing on sustainable areas and strong, reliable rental returns.
🏠 High-End HMO's
We design and convert properties into high-quality, well-managed shared homes – maximising income while providing great living standards.
🏢 Commercial
Investing in or leasing commercial spaces that support local economies and produce dependable cash flow.
🏦 Commercial Conversions
From empty shops and old offices to flexible mixed-use spaces and flats – we breathe new life into buildings with potential.
⛺ Land & Development
We source, assess, and develop land – from planning applications to building out housing, glamping, and rural tourism ventures.
💰 INVEST WITH US – TANGIBLE RETURNS, ETHICAL PROJECTS
We uncover and develop overlooked buildings – turning them into high-quality homes and flexible workspaces. As an investor, you benefit from clearly structured deals, realistic returns, and hands-on project management from someone who’s done it before.
🏗️ PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT – BUILT TO LAST
We don’t just source – we deliver. From early-stage planning to finished homes, our development work is grounded in commercial know-how and rural experience. Whether it's a barn with potential or a tired high street unit, we unlock real value.
🤝 JOINT VENTURES – LET’S GROW TOGETHER
Got capital, land, or a great opportunity but need the right partner? We bring planning experience, project delivery, and investor alignment. You bring the opportunity. Together, we create something that works.
