What they said about DeVono
We contracted DeVono for Relocation Consultancy Services, asking them to not only find us a new office but to also help with our move. DeVono were selected because of their business model: acting exclusively on behalf of tenant needs, as opposed to representing Landlord interests. From the outset it was clear that DeVono were the right choice, they spent quality time with us scoping out our property search and they backed this up with some great insights on market trends. Property viewings were arranged in a timely fashion against our agreed criteria. Their communications during the period when we were considering properties or negotiating with prospective Landlord's was first class; offering us really incisive and accurate advice. A highly professional group of people offering a very good range of services. |

What they said about DeVono
Looking back to my earlier concerns about engaging DeVono in our property search, I can say that on all counts you completely exceeded expectations in the end. Originally, I wasn't convinced you would be completely on top of available property in the area, but as far as I can tell you knew about everything relevant on the market (and often before it came available); in any case, you found us something suitable. Ultimately, our final choice of property is the only one that matters... Even if I understood how you could add value at the search stage, you may remember that I didn't believe you could add significant value during negotiations. At least with the property that we selected in the end, I can be absolutely confident that we would not have understood how to negotiate a lease that worked so well for both tenant and landlord. We would not have had the confidence or understanding to low-ball significantly to secure such a low rent; and on the other hand if we had still moved forward with a higher rent then we would have had higher expectations about things that the landlord needed to change or update. For example, there's an historical stain from a leak on the wall which in the context of the deal we reached isn't a problem - at our budget we are happy to paint it ourselves if it meant the deal could be completed quickly and cheaply. At a higher rent we would have wanted things like that sorted, which would have delayed things, and potentially caused the landlord to believe that the deal was no longer worth their time. And then in the final act, DeVono effectively secured a 10% reduction in all costs by measuring the space at 90% of the advertised area! As far as we're concerned it's still the same space as we (visually) saw we were getting all along, so this is seen by us as a reduction in costs but not really space. So, we have a big job ahead of us before we can move in - and some tight timescales to meet our own targets, but right now we are extremely pleased with the outcome that DeVono helped deliver. And even just on cost alone, the price tag for your service is clearly less than the savings we have made. |

What they said about DeVono
The keen attention to detail, organisational skills and professional approach by DeVono Relocation Management was invaluable throughout the process. This was particularly important to us as all of those involved from the company were located some distance away from London. We needed to know that the project was in safe hands and from an early stage we felt confident in DeVono's ability to manage project making the whole process less stressful and frustrating. After securing the right property, through your Commercial Property Division, we have gone on to achieve the high quality of finish that we wanted which reflects the company's standing as an international oil company. This was within the allotted time frame and within budget and I would have no hesitation in recommending DeVono for similar project. |

What they said about DeVono
I have been very impressed by the speed of action, feedback and support throughout the process of finding an appropriate premises for f1 recruitment, agreeing best commercial terms and then closing the deal. I never felt that I was on my own through the process. Rather you were always available to assist and would find resolution quickly as problems arose. DeVono introduced professionals (lawyer and surveyor) who were clearly used to working in an organised manner and with pace. Despite the deal running into the holiday season, there was always someone available to pick things up who had clearly had a good handover and was able to deal with the brief. I would recommend DeVono as a cost effective and very professional solution to finding new premises. |
