Selling your property business
2019 is looking to be a turbulent year for the property industry, not only with the looming knock-on effect that Brexit will have – but closer to home, the introduction of the tenant fee ban.
With many reporting that around half of all agents are expected to lose between 10% and 30% of revenue due to the introduction of the ban via ARLA.
Reporting ongoing steady growth, at The Belvoir Group we are proud of our ability to weather much of the affects that the ban may have, with a projected 6% being lost from gross profit – down from a previous estimate of 8%.
As the UK’s largest property franchise provider on the high street, we believe there is strength in numbers as the market changes throughout the next 12-24 months and if you’ve been thinking about selling your business rather than take the hit and have to make cuts, then we might have the perfect solution for you.
“The Assisted Acquisitions programme, now in its sixth year, has gone from strength to strength and continues to grow. Since 2014 we have provided both commercial and financial support to 70 of our franchise owners, many of whom have doubled the size of their business overnight.”

Our process tends to take between 3-6 months on average and we make transactions ranging from £25,000-£1.5 million with a free, no obligation valuation of the business to kickstart the process.
