Business Opportunity
When you invest in a franchise from us you receive:
- Full training - we provide you with the full course that will enable you to pass the Technical Award in Residential Letting and Property Management.
- Pages for your business on our website www.homefinders.co.uk. Whenever you have a property to advertise you just complete a simple form on the site, click on a button and details are sent to us. We then update your pages - you don't need to know anything about websites, nor how to get yours to feature well in the search engines; we do all that for you. The website will show unlimited photographs of the property, a description of the property, and an interactive googlemap with a pointer showing the location. The address of your site will be www.homefinders.co.uk/yourtown. You can use that address in your advertising and paperwork and your customers will go directly to your website.
- A helpline to call whenever you need it.
- We are keeping a blog where we record the progress of our first branch in Milton Keynes. It will include a day-to-day diary of money spent, properties taken on the books, and when they are let. We will also keep cashflow records to give you a guide to how much working capital you will need. We plan to open in the autumn, so the blog will start then.
- As our business grows we plan to buy property to let. We anticipate the current problems in the housing market will be prolonged and will get worse. As a result there will be bargains to be had and a property investment/development business will dovetail very nicely with a property mangement company - afterall, if we are letting a property we own it is very easy to ensure that potential tenants see that property first, so times when the property is not let should be minimal.
