Since 1986 we have built an unparalleled portfolio of market-leading brands, each with its own distinct character and market position. We encompass traditional high street estate agencies, innovative hybrid models, premium brands, and specialist operators across sales, lettings, auctions, student accommodation and financial services.

This breadth gives us deep market intelligence, resilience across property cycles, and the ability to serve virtually every customer demographic and price point in the UK residential property market.  We combine the entrepreneurial drive of local business ownership with the strength, systems and support of a national group.

Why The Property Franchise Group?

35+ years of expertise. The scale to back you. The focus and support franchisees in growing local market share.

• Established brand recognition - Immediate credibility with customers who already know and trust the brand name, reducing the time and cost required to build awareness.
• Comprehensive Systems - Everything from CRM and property portals to compliance tracking and financial reporting, refined over decades and continuously improved.
• Buying Power - Negotiated rates on portal advertising, insurance, software, and other operational costs that independent agents simply cannot access.
• Marketing Firepower - National campaigns, sophisticated digital marketing, professional creative services, and local marketing toolkits that drive enquiries to your business.
• Regulatory Support - Property regulation is complex and constantly evolving. We monitor changes, provide compliance guidance, and ensure you operate within the law without the cost of in-house legal expertise.
• Network Collaboration - Regular franchise conferences, regional meetings, online forums and direct relationships with fellow franchise owners who share insights and support each other’s success.
• Exit Value - When the time comes to sell, a franchised business typically commands a premium over an independent agency due to brand recognition, proven systems, ongoing support, and an established pipeline of potential buyers within the network.

Find Your Franchise Fit

Whatever your background, budget or ambition, there is a model built for you.

• Resale — Step into an established business with a loyal customer base, managed properties and an immediate revenue stream.  You will take on a team of staff who already know the business. 
• Cold Start — Build your own office from the ground up. You pick the brand, the location and the team. Requires extensive upfront working capital, as income will build up gradually.
• Hybrid — Lower costs, maximum flexibility. A great fit for experienced agents ready to go it alone.
• Acquire and Rebrand — Buy an independent agency and bring it into one of our brands. We support you every step of the way.
• Convert Your Agency — You may already be an estate agent who has either seen a recent downturn in business or hit a glass ceiling.  If this is the case, you can take your business to the next level as a franchise without losing ownership of the business you have built.
