Lewis & Co

What Lewis & Co does

Lewis & Co is a private, founder-led commercial real estate advisory firm headquartered in Wimbledon, London, with a secondary office in Fulham. Founded in 2017 by Alex Lewis MRICS, the firm provides agency, investment, and development advisory services across office, industrial, and retail property in South West London. The business operates on a traditional transaction-fee model, acting for institutional landlords, developers, and investors on leasehold acquisitions, disposals, lettings, and investment transactions; core service lines are Development Land Advisory, Office Lettings, Industrial Lettings, and Commercial Investment Services. The firm self-reports £200m+ in investment transactions and 500+ total deals over eight years, with named clients including Aviva Investors, Nuveen, Marchmont, and Martin's Properties. The senior team of three — Alex Lewis, Billy Wright, and Anna Stebbings — collectively brings over 50 years of experience from DTZ, Donaldsons, Savills, Knight Frank, and Coughlan Lewis, which is the firm's primary intangible asset. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability, no external funding, and no documented M&A or geographic expansion beyond South West London. Lewis & Co is, in summary, a relationship-driven, owner-operated boutique whose competitive position rests on local market knowledge, senior-person relationships, and embedded sub-market presence rather than scale, technology, or capital.

Broad incumbents

• Savills: Global real estate advisory with deep London commercial coverage. Comparable as Billy Wright previously served on Savills' Central London Retail team and Lewis & Co directly competes for institutional mandates in overlapping sub-markts.
• Knight Frank: Global CRE advisor with strong London office and investment practice. Comparable because Anna Stebbings worked in Knight Frank's London and international teams, and Knight Frank competes for the same institutional landlord and investor mandates.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Global commercial real estate services firm. Comparable given Alex Lewis's tenure at DTZ (predecessor firm), and the firm competes head-to-head on London investment and occupational agency mandates.
• CBRE: World's largest commercial real estate services firm with substantial London investment and agency operations. Competes for the same institutional investor and developer mandates in South West London sub-markts.
• JLL: Global real estate services and investment management firm with significant London commercial agency presence. Competes for leasing, investment, and development advisory mandates across London sub-markts.

Direct peers

• Hanover Green: Boutique London commercial property agency focused on office leasing and investment. Closest comparable in scale and service mix — a specialist capital-markets and office agency operating in London against institutional clients.
• Montagu Evans: UK commercial real estate advisory firm with strong London office, investment, and development coverage. Comparable mid-tier UK CRE advisor competing in similar asset classes and client segments.
• Bidwells: UK property consultancy with London commercial agency and investment teams. Comparable boutique-to-mid-tier advisor competing in office, investment, and development mandates.
• Fladgate: London-focused commercial property agency providing office, investment, and development advisory. Closely comparable as a London specialist competing in similar sub-markts and asset classes.

Others

• CWM (Cushman & Wakefield predecessor - DTZ): Listed as heritage connection: Alex Lewis trained at DTZ, which merged into Cushman & Wakefield. Included as context for the founder's pedigree and the firm's institutional lineage rather than as a direct current competitor.
