What is a property franchise?
Property franchising is a type of business model that allows a franchisee to operate a sales and lettings business under an established brand name and business model. The brand that you will operate under is known as the franchisor. For example, being a property franchisee with the Belvoir Franchise Group will allow you to operate under the Belvoir name while receiving support and guidance wherever you are on your property franchise journey.

What fees will a franchisee have to pay when joining a franchise?
When you start your property franchise journey, you will be required to pay an initial investment. The cost of this will depend on what franchisor you choose and whether it is a resale or an acquisition.
If would like to find out what fees are required when joining the Belvoir Property Franchise Group, please get in touch or sign up for one of our Discovery Days.
What is a franchise agreement?
A franchise agreement is a legally binding document between a franchisee and their chosen franchisor. The document will outline the expectations from both sides and will include things like payment costs and fees, how long the agreement will last, rules around the use of brand name etc.
Having a franchise agreement in place is important to protect both sides, the franchisee and the franchisor. When setting up and buying a property franchise, you will be required to make a big financial investment and a signed franchise agreement will help protect your investment.
Will I receive training and support when becoming a property franchisee?
Depending on who you choose to be your franchisor will depend on the level of training and support you receive.
