Property Consultants

Introducing JOHNS &CO

Since our founding, we have upheld our promise of uncompromising service for our extensive network of vendors, investors, landlords and tenants.

Our consultants are always excited to share their intimate knowledge of London, whether from our London offices or those in the Far East. They possess expertise in investments, lettings and property management, and are supported by a network of experienced accountants and legal advisors.

We know that this commitment to service produces tangible results. Tenants stay in homes, investments are occupied, landlords enjoy peace of mind and developments thrive, contributing to London’s future as a key player on the world stage.

London has always captured the imagination of the world. It is a city rich with stories and characters, home of tradition and revolution alike, and today it is entering a new phase of growth and innovation.

A city of commerce, culture & creativity

London is leading the way for forward-thinking, commercially thriving capitals across the globe. For businesses, its appeal ranges from the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf and the City of London, to the emerging Tech Cities, a new embassy district and riverside neighbourhoods. Its rail and airport links connect it with major international cities; so as the world shrinks, London continues to grow and develop as a global leader.

London on the world stage

The last ten years have witnessed a golden age for regenerating underused areas of the city. Developments of an outstanding calibre are laying the infrastructure for commercial and residential hubs to become among the most desirable postcodes in Europe. New Crossrails will connect even more towns and cities to London’s network. This infrastructure paves the way for the city’s growth for decades to come. Unprecedented levels of investment are giving life to new neighbourhoods and there are more opportunities in the property sector than ever.

You can find us at our various offices around central London, as well as in Singapore and Hong Kong. All our staff working overseas possess the same intricate knowledge of the London property market, and collaborate closely with our other offices to offer you a support network wherever you may be.

Local knowledge, international reach

Our staff are ARLA qualified and have a wealth of experience, both in the London markets and beyond. Staff specialise in their area of expertise, such as lettings or property management, so you know that you can always speak to someone dedicated to the service they are providing you.

Expert knowledge

Many of the developments we manage have an onsite property manager and office. While this adds security to the site as a whole, it is also a significant convenience throughout the development process and beyond. Our agents are on the ground as the first to show you plans and show flats, using their expert knowledge of the scheme to offer advice. Should you decide to purchase a property, or sell it down the line, they can be on hand to handle any discussions needed on the site. It also means that anyone living in the property has someone close at hand should they need emergency assistance or help organising maintenance and access for the property.
