Devenports started with a pledge to offer a truly unique and ethical service that puts the customer at the forefront of everything we do. We set out to create an estate agency that stepped away from the traditional ‘shiny suit, red tie’ approach that often over-promises and under-delivers, and designed new-to-market, cutting-edge practices that benefit our buyers and sellers before all else, and an ethos with honesty and transparency at the core.
With 47 years of agency experience in the team, Devenports provides results-driven estate agent services with a customer-first approach that is genuinely unrivalled by our competitors.

The humble estate agent sign post is a staple of British culture, and no doubt one of the first things many of us would think of when the topic of moving home comes up. After all, I am sure we have all visited new places on holiday and walked past estate signs and wondered, “I wonder how much that house is worth”?
For many of us, the modest stick and sign is no big deal. But, the effectiveness of a board should never be discounted. Within our area, many of the most sought-after roads do not give up their gems easily, with perhaps just one or two homes coming to market every few years. We have lost count of how many house sales we have agreed which started with a simple: “I’ve just driven past and seen your sign” call to the office.
We did think, however, it was time this traditional method was brought up to date. So, we set about putting our own Devenports spin on things.
We are excited to announce that all of our property signs now have QR codes to enable our buyers and renters easy access to property details within seconds. By expanding from the traditional ‘Sold & Let’ branding, the concept of ‘Spoken For’ was born. As you will note from the definition below, we couldn’t think of a more appropriate term to describe the agreed sale or let of the assets we all love the most.
