Christopher Watkin, Head of Franchise Recruitment at Belvoir Lettings gives you his thoughts on what makes a Belvoir Lettings franchise different.

Welcome to Belvoir.
You may be considering investing in a Belvoir franchise and it gives us great pleasure to introduce this exciting opportunity to you. In both the franchising world and the lettings market Belvoir is a well-known and reputable brand - a reputation we have worked hard to achieve. Our vision is clear, our leadership is strong and our team of staff and franchise owners are passionate and committed to achieving this vision.
The number one question we are asked is ... With so many agents on the High Street, how can I break into a market that is full of other agents? Watch this video to find out
Belvoir’s success comes from many years of consistent effort and growth and is based upon our three core principles of being customer focused, remaining as lettings specialists and practicing total professionalism.
We believe that the lettings market is a specialist niche market, which is resilient to boom or bust economy and Belvoir is now one of the leading players in the industry. As Belvoir continues to grow we have identified many areas in the UK that are available on an exclusive basis. Now watch the inetrview of our franchisees, Mike and Angie Allgood, about them being the most improved office in 2011, and the reason they have done it!
You are of course very welcome to visit and find out much more about Belvoir and our vision. You may well be pleasantly surprised with the strength of our commitment and the amount of resources we have at our disposal to enhance the strength and value of the Belvoir opportunity. You will need to judge this for yourself and I therefore extend an invitation to you to visit our Central Office here in Grantham on one of our Discovery Days, where you will find a warm welcome from my team and a willingness to answer and discuss anything that may help you come to an informed decision on whether Belvoir is the right opportunity for you.
