Continuity for landlords and tenants

The business was acquired from Julie Spayne and Neil Spayne as they retire. Existing team members Lorna, Elaine and Vicky will remain in place to support landlords and tenants through the transition.

David Vertannes, Director at Edward Rose Property Group, said: “This is another exciting step for us. Devon Rose has built a fantastic reputation locally, and we're pleased to be able to continue that legacy while bringing the additional support and scale of the Your Move network.”

“Maintaining continuity for landlords was a key priority, and we're delighted that the team is staying on.”
