As pioneers in the industry, Excel was the first British agency to establish a dedicated Japanese Lettings Desk—setting the standard for expertise in this unique market. Now part of the David Astburys family, we continue to build on that legacy, providing tailored relocation and lettings services for Japanese clients across London’s most prestigious neighbourhoods. Our in-depth cultural understanding, language support, and long-standing corporate relationships ensure a smooth and trusted experience for both tenants and landlords alike.

The past two decades have seen us build enduring relationships with a host of London based Japanese corporations that depend on us to source suitable Japanese houses and apartments meeting the discerning requirements of their executive employees. A selection of our long term corporate tenants includes:

• The Embassy of Japan
• Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation
• Sumitomo Nikko Capital Market

• Mizuho International plc
• Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ
• Daiwa Capital Market

Led by an expert property consultant originally from Fukuoka, our specialist department has an intrinsic knowledge of the key criteria sought by executive tenants relocating from Japan. Home life is of paramount importance, as is location and other factors including:

• Location & convenience
