What makes Belvoir the Franchise for You?

Lettings is a recession proof business. Our top 25% of franchisees achieved an average turnover of £325,623.02 per office. Our top 10% of offices achieved an average turnover of £426,206.20. (Rolling YTD Feb 2012)

Mike says "You don’t need previous experience of the property or lettings market to join the Belvoir franchise network.In fact, only 2% of our franchisees were letting agents or estate agents before they joined Belvoir. We will teach you, guide you and support you to become the best lettings expert in your locality.

What Belvoir needs from you is drive, determination, enthusiasm and excellent communication skills. Belvoir Franchise Owners are of all ages and come from all walks of life including teaching, the Forces, police, banking, estate agency and farming. Belvoir welcomes enquiries from individuals and partnerships, as well as husband and wife and family member teams.

I was a Wing Commander in the RAF, so used the principles I learnt in the military to help me build a business based on clear and trainable systems and processes. Then, by offering this business opportunity to carefully selected franchisees, I have seen the Belvoir brand grow rapidly and successfully throughout the UK. 

There are many different franchise options out there for you to consider. However, according to the Government, private lettings will increase from 15% of all property in 2010 to around 20% by 2020 ... that will mean there will be an additional 1,000,000 properties under the private rented sector in the next ten years.

Renting is not a passing phase. The UK is becoming like Europe, where it is the norm to rent rather than buy.

Joining Belvoir will enable you to take advantage of a relatively recession proof market with a professional, established company.  Being part of Belvoir is like being in a large family. The support and guidance that Ian Maclean and his team in Franchise Support will give you is second to none and the leadership of Dorian Gonsalves, my MD, is outstanding. Although you are part of a franchise, we understand it is YOUR business, whether to suceed is entirely down to you and your efforts, but come to us with an open mind and the attitudes I mentioned above, I can assure you, you wont be dissapointed and you could grow a business that will be a real asset in the future."
