Property-based franchise opportunities in the south look set to increase as estate agency Enfields turns its mind to expansion.
Following from the announcement that the company’s second franchise operation has been launched in Portsmouth, south-coast based Enfields has opened the door to further applications from prospective franchisees.
According to Rob Mott, director of Enfields, “It’s a burgeoning environment and now is an opportune time to enter the property franchising world. As such, we’re encouraging would-be franchisees and ambitious high achievers to get in touch.”
Enfields launched its franchise scheme in 2006 for entrepreneurs wanting to start their own estate agency businesses. Franchisees administer their own branch operations, while receiving sales, marketing and administrative support help.
Recently, Ralph Page, a former branch manager, took up the reins of the company’s second franchise operation in Portsmouth. Page already has plans in place to open a further four branches in the city in the next four years, according to the company.
“This new undertaking provides the challenges and rewards of leading my own business in a prosperous market place, with the added reassurance and benefits of being supported by the backbone of a dynamic industry player,” Page explained.
The Enfields network provides complete packages for selling, buying and renting property, access to surveys, legal assistance, removals and mortgage services.
