Approved Franchises

Property Franchises

Property and lucrativeness walk hand-in-hand. If you're looking to break into the industry, are an aspiring franchisee, or maybe a realtor looking to take the next step, then a Property Franchise could be the perfect way to get working for yourself, but not by yourself, with all the credibility of a recognisable brand and support of the experts behind you.

What is Franchising?

Franchising provides an opportunity for suitable people to build a profitable business by using an established, successful business identity and method. Initially training is provided followed by ongoing support along with access to products & services.

What skills do I need?

Apart from great enthusiasm and an interest in property our franchisees will be people of stature and character.You will have a good vocabulary, an ability to communicate with people from all walks of life and an outgoing personality. Word processing skills will be an advantage *along with a basic knowledge of Microsoft Windows operated computer programs (*but not essential).

Can I make a profit ?

With one full time and later one part time staff member, our first shop serviced a voting register population of approximately 60,000. During it's first 2 years it was managing 90 properties + 10 (repeating) finders fees (and some 4th generation re-lets).

Due to house moves within the existing portfolio and new take-ons we wrote 115 leases in our second year. Given a larger servicable population or higher area rental values, business would develop at a faster pace in larger towns or cities.

Income therefore would be much higher than that of our first outlet which was earning in excess of £70,000 in their 3rd year.

We are legally obliged to state that, any facts mentioned should not be used to calculate a guarantee of income.However, please note, it is in our interests to do all we can to ensure that our franchisees are successful.

What if there are already residential letting agencies in my selected area?

Excellent, this means that there is a good supply of property to let and room for not just another company, but a company with a higher profile and a fresh approach.

After 2 years of trading, our first shop managed twice as many properties as it's closest rival. There were 10 other agencies out of which two have closed and a third moved area since we opened.

We currently enjoy a 33% share of the market place due to our high profile identity and expertise.

What should I research ?

What is the serviceable population in the area in which you would wish to develop business and what is the average calendar monthly rent for a 2 - 3 bedroomed house in that area?

How do I proceed ?

If you wish to know more call or E-mail us to arrange a meeting, following which we hope to be able to invite you to make a formal application.
