Become a franchise

Freedom to lead, power to grow

If you’re thinking about becoming an estate agency franchise, the best thing to do is to give us a call and we chat to you about how it works and how we can work together. It’s all about you keeping your independence and remaining the decision maker on all aspects of your estate agency. We are here to provide support and investment.

1. You keep control

We value your independence, which means we embrace the fact that you remain in control of your estate agency business, and we offer you the support to help you grow your revenue.

The LSL Estate Agency Franchising central teams provide wide ranging support to help save you time, money and grow your business.

What I like is that you get the best of both worlds, I run my own business and make my own decisions, but I also have the safety blanket and support that you get with being a franchisee.

2. Investment in growth

We are committed to supporting our franchise partners grow their business whether that’s benefiting from cost efficiencies or investment opportunities, we are here to support you in driving your profit.

Here are some of the ways we can support your business growth.

Assisted Lettings Acquisitions

We all recognise that one of the key ways to drive growth into an estate agency business is to acquire a lettings book. This could be to add lettings to your existing estate agency business or acquiring a lettings book to add landlords to your existing portfolio. For both we can offer lettings experts to help with due diligence and integration as well as financing options.

LSL Estate Agency Franchising has been hugely supportive across every aspect of the acquisition process; from bringing the opportunity to our attention, to offering guidance when needed on negotiation and with the all-important funding. The partnership has given us exactly what we wanted from a franchisor and more – it’s exactly what you want in a business partner.

Harness the buying power a franchise can offer

Operating over 300 territories gives us the opportunity to negotiate favourable pricing on key contracts across estate agency. You
can benefit from cost efficiencies across a variety of suppliers.

We also like the benefits of what Your Move buys us – when you load in the discounts you get for buying, it actually makes more financial sense to launch as a National Franchise brand, than to try and go it alone as a one man band. I know that those significant discounts make a huge difference to the financial viability of taking on a Franchise and it’s a real benefit.

3. Networking & support

Connect with like-minded entrepreneurs

We have over 60 franchise partners across the UK and every year all our franchise partners get together at our Franchising Conference which focusses on building our future together.

There are also organised regional franchise conferences as well as lots of events across the year ensuring you have the opportunity to catch up with your fellow franchise partners . Many of our existing franchise partners find sharing best practice, marketing successes, recruitment strategies plus many other things really beneficial, helping to grow revenue.

There’s a whole back up team at Your Move trying to figure out ways to make being a franchise easier, better, faster and more profitable.

Central support, saving you time

There are a number of central departments our franchise partners can take advantage of. Utilising these departments will potentially give you access to things you don’t currently have and will definitely give you some time back in your day.

Marketing support

As a franchise you benefit from the reputation and awareness of the Your Move brand and brand consistency is important. The central marketing team provide regular campaigns, promotional materials including canvassing materials, brochures and digital assets.

Marketing support also includes your ready-made digital universe which includes:

  • Branch Hubs on your-move.co.uk
  • Customer online accounts keeping them up to date with their sale, purchase or let
  • Triggered & bespoke email campaigns
  • A pre and post valuation digital platform, tailored to each branch including email communication, comparables, in-home presentations plus post valuation keeping in touch emails and tracking.

Training & development

As one of our franchise partners you can take advantage of our Training Academy - a bespoke e-learning platform, with a breadth of content which has been developed over many years. For the most recent developments, webinars with specific suppliers and/or experts supplement the content in the Training Academy; and sometimes learning is facilitated simply by connecting a Franchisee who excels at a particular discipline with another who wishes to learn more about it.

TechStack

LSL have developed relationships with the leading prop-tech in the industry at discounted rates. The tools have been integrated with Reapit and the LSL systems to allow independent agency owners to plug and play. The training team provide ongoing support, and the Franchise Directors manage the accounts to ensure third-party suppliers are providing best-in-class service to our franchise partners.

Client accounting team and Credit Control Centre

Our Client Accounting team and Credit Control centre pick up two of the most arduous tasks for our franchise partners, giving you more time to concentrate on your customers and growing your business. All our franchise partners are supported by a Franchise Director who is available to help with anything in the business.
