Frequently asked questions

Email Lee who is one of our Franchising Partnerships Team [email protected] and we will have an initial exploratory conversation to establish some key information to understand if a Your Move franchise is a good fit for you.

If both parties decide to proceed we will then hold a discovery session where we will gather your goals and objectives, take you through the requirements, discuss timelines and the next steps.

The world of Estate and Letting Agencies is complex so previous experience is preferred. If you do not have previous estate agency experience we would advise you employ someone with experience a long with a series of training courses.

This can be discussed during our discovery session

We prefer for you to be familiar with the processes & methodology of the business first but actively support Partners that are looking to grow into other territories or by acquisition.

That depends on demographics. We usually have a minimum number of ‘chimney pots’ in an area. This generally means that the rural territories are larger in area & the urban ones smaller.

The costs and fees are:

• An initial set up fee for your exclusive territory
• Ongoing royalty fee

We are more than happy to talk you through the fees. Specific set up costs will vary depending on the size of your exclusive territory. These can be discussed in our initial exploratory conversation and then in more details in the discovery session.

It's important for us to get to know more about you - to ensure you're a good fit for our network - but also so that we can be sure that we've answered all your questions and you understand what's involved. That initial discovery session is key to defining the timeline, so once we have a clear understanding of your requirements, we can provide you with a more specific timeline for your needs.

This is possible and there could be considerable benefits to doing so including possible savings, technology and marketing. We’d be happy to discuss any existing estate agency businesses looking to switch to a franchise model.

Consider how you are going to advertise your business for sale, ensure you list it on business for sale sites, trade news sites/industry publications and online.

Create a business information document with details of all the financial elements, strengths, market share analysis, brand awareness and client loyalty.

Professional Brokers and Agents can help you reach more potential buyers.
