Why We Are Franchising

Franchising in estate agency started in the UK as recently as 1981: today property services account for 23% of all franchises in Britain. It is estimated that as much as 35% of privately-owned properties will be rented out in the next few years. For both sales and lettings these figures will go on rising faster than anywhere else in London and the Home Counties.

Parkheath is an ambitious and successful company now looking to grow our share of the London and Home Counties market. Our franchised offices to date have evolved naturally since 2002 from within the company without marketing on our part. With our high reputation for customer service at home matched internationally by our operations in India and Poland, the time is right to grow our core UK business by both expanding on existing areas and opening up new territories.

‘A lot of people think franchising is franchising whatever the product.  We’re looking for resourceful people often with experience of success in a totally different line of business.  We’re partnering with people who want to be with us for the long term.  We spend a lot of time with our potential franchisees choosing the right locations.

We believe the key to this growth lies in partnerships with motivated and independently-minded people – people who share our values - who understand that the opportunity for individual enrichment is the opportunity to share growth and economies of scale that will benefit us all.

Our franchisees own and control 100% of their businesses - yet every new franchise makes Parkheath even greater than the sum of its parts. This benefits franchisor and franchisee in equal measure - and gives a high resale value, making a Parkheath franchise an excellent long-term investment.
