Our award winning agency has been built on our 3 Step methodology of Knowledge, Action and Delivery.
Devono is the only commercial property company in London that works exclusively for tenants. We have one objective; to get you the best terms possible, regardless of the condition of the market.
Exclusively for tenants...What does this mean?
We only act for tenants. We do not represent Landlords....ever. You are the client.
Why do we do this?
It is simple
- Landlord's objective: Raising rents
- Tenant's and Devono's objective: Lowering rents
As a result of this, in 2007, 2008 and 2009 Devono acquired more offices for business than any other property company in London, making us industry leaders in tenant representation.
We were responsible for 10% of all acquisitions carried out across Central London.
Your office space is a reflection of your business. It affects how your clients and customers perceive you. It influences how much your employees enjoy working with you and therefore how productive they are.
Knowledge
We are constantly researching the market for new properties and opportunities, which means our knowledge of available London offices is always up-to-date and unrivalled.
With our dedicated team of researchers, we have:
- A deeper knowledge and understanding of available buildings than our competitors
- 100% coverage of central London offices
- 'Insider' full and early access to off market opportunities
