Agency’s London expansion taps into growing foreign...

Lettings, property management and sales agency Johns&Co - which celebrates its 10th year in business in 2024 - is opening a new City of London office, in response to increasing demand from international investors.

In addition, Johns&Co's existing London City Island branch is relocating to a larger office to accommodate a larger team.

The City of London opening and the City Island expansion are complemented by a new HQ in Vauxhall for its team of property management and business development professionals.

The new City of London office, located near Liverpool Street station in Devonshire Square, marks a pivotal point for the business and opens in response to heightened demand from the Asian investment market.

The new HQ forms part of Johns&Co’s growth and expansion strategy spearheaded by managing director Jon Johnson, who was promoted to the role a year ago.

The agency now employs over 150 employees across 10 London offices, as well as two in East Asia (Hong Kong and China).

Johnson says: “It’s been a privilege to be a part of such an impressive business. In just 10 years the agency has become one of the leading names in the industry, recognised for its expertise and exceptional service, most recently rated as London’s best property management company.

“We’ve built unrivalled expertise in the new build market in east London, and we’re fast diversifying with ventures in north, west and south London thanks to our teams in West Hampstead, Nine Elms, and Brentford. The opening of the City of London branch is going to be a gamechanger for the business.”

And agency co-owned John Morley adds: “The past 18 months have seen us make several significant changes as a business, notably growing our presence beyond our roots in east London and Canary Wharf and taking on more traditional housing stock, pivoting away from our previous focus on the new build market.

“Jon taking the helm as MD earlier in 2023 is a result of our commitment to grow talent from within and to invest in our people. We are still very active in the sale, letting and management of new build homes and continue to be market leaders in this area, but we also now have the capability to manage more traditional housing stock across the capital. We have big ambitions as we celebrate our tenth year in business.”
