Your Move Margate joins National Home Move through branch resale programme

National Home Move has acquired Your Move Margate from Patrick McConnell through the LSL Estate Agency Franchising branch resale programme.

The programme enables franchise partners to acquire established branches when their existing owners are ready to sell or retire, supporting continuity for customers and branch teams.

National Home Move operates Your Move and Reeds Rains branches and is expanding its presence across Kent through the acquisition.

He also thanked the LSL Estate Agency Franchising team for supporting the transaction and wished Patrick well for his next chapter.

Supporting successful branch resales
