About Us
Habitus can trace its history back over 50 years, first as a surveying firm but more recently as a network of over 800 Surveyors, Solicitors, Home Inspectors, Energy Assessors and Estate Agents. We cover all of England and Wales.
There is a revolution going on in the home moving market and we are at the heart of it.
Every year, there are as many as 1.4 million residential property transactions. With surveys, legal fees and property searches and next year Home Information Packs to account for, revenues generated in professional fees adds up to a market worth £3 billion every year.
The franchise opportunity, home or office based, is to manage and co-ordinate the services of the network on behalf of homebuyers and sellers in your local area. You don’t need to be a Surveyor, Solicitor or Home Inspector, you just need to be good with people and have a strong desire to succeed. But as well as running your own professional services company there is the option for you to train and gain a professional qualification to become an Energy Assessor, Home Inspector or a RICS Tech Surveyor. We provide and manage a structured training programme for each franchisee to help them towards qualification. Once qualified, you increase your personal value in the market place through a skill that can last a lifetime.
Type Of Franchisees
Essentially there are no particular skills required. Some knowledge of the property market gained either as a property investor or from working in a property related market might be useful but full training is provided.
The main thing is that you are good with people and have the desire and ambition to be successful. You will be driving your business forward through managing your Home Moving Advisor team and developing your reputation locally.
Training And Support
You can expect full training and support in running a Home Moving Advisor Team. In addition you would have the option to achieve a professional qualification as an Energy Assessor, Home Inspector, or RICS Tech Surveyor. This would be managed through our structured training programme.
Financial Details
There is an initial start-up fee of £5000. Territories vary in price according to value and this is determined by the average number of property transactions. Minimum initial license fee is £15,000.
