Franchisee Testimonials
"We chose Parkheath over two larger agencies –because it combines the professional with the family feel. Everyone, including other franchisees, is very helpful and willing to share and exchange contacts, advice, publicity and IT support. That’s how we like to do business - and that’s why it will work."
Andreas Christodoulou, Director Northwood
"I had done considerable business with Parkheath in the area of selling properties and it was always a very happy association. But equally I would stress to the person coming into contact with the company for the first time that they have always had and have a very good name in the market. Their reputation is that they are absolutely professional in every aspect of the work.
Hendon ties in well geographically with our existing areas. Our research also tells us that with the opening of our new office run by Anthony Ranabahu we can provide an altogether different level of service from that which currently exists. We also believe we can grow very successfully in areas that we know – Finchley, Whetstone and Mill Hill." Joseph Laporte, Hendon
"My training and background was in marketing. Opening our Parkheath franchise was my first job in estate agency - we were a family who worked together and we wanted a business that was ours.
We opened our first office in Rickmansworth in 2002, followed by our second in Chorleywood in 2006, and this year we are opening our third in Northwood. “What is the value of the name? It is literally invaluable – we have grown from one office to three in five years and to a profitability you simply couldn’t have achieved in such a relatively short time without the brand.
It’s been very much a two-way process – Parkheath has been invaluable to us as a brand and I strongly believe we have helped Malcolm Terry develop the company."Alex Sewell, director of Parkheath’s Rickmansworth and Chorleywood offices
"Be honest with the Franchisor and yourself remember you are buying a brand and a product and not a business. The business is going to be built up by you." Jane Gardner, Rickmansworth Lettings Director
"Prime areas, prime locations within those areas, lots of recommendations and referrals and loyal staff with a record of long service and good rewards - all these things are connected. Ethos is an easy word to bandy about in business, but in the case of Parkheath it really is true. " David Stern, Director of Belsize Park
"We opened in South Harrow in February 2007. Now that we’re up and running our aim is to break even within one year and then grow by association.
I decided to take a Parkheath franchise because it was an established company with an excellent reputation. From day one we have been called in on valuations because people in the area see us as a reputable and recognisable brand.
Having the brand is a total benefit, being part of the franchised network I am able to draw on other offices experiences. We talk to each other and pass each other leads between offices."
Luc Sangha, Harrow
