Martin & Co - Residential Lettings
Franchise
| Martin & Co is
already the country's largest and fastest-growing residential
lettings and property management franchise network, opening three
new offices in high street premises each month and it's on target
to have 200 outlets by the end of this decade. Martin & Co currently has 175 offices across the country, from Truro to Aberdeen, Prime Central London to Belfast and Wales, reinforcing its position as the nation’s No. 1 lettings brand. Martin & Co (UK) Ltd is a recognised Investor in People and a full member of the British Franchise Association. Martin & Co are also proud winners of Franchisor of The Year (The Negotiator Awards) and The Best Large Chain (Estate Agent & Letting Agent Awards.) |
The Martin & Co brand
is distinctive and its reputation is growing. Martin &
Co Franchise owners are allocated an exclusive territory,
receive help with development of a 5-year business plan, funding
and finding shop front premises, co-ordinating shop fitting, staff
recruitment, training and on-going operations support to manage and
run a successful lettings and property management franchise.
Who are Martin & Co
looking for?
| Ultimately, what drives Martin & Co’s commitment to such a comprehensive package of systems and support is the recognition of three core truths about franchising: that success flows from attracting the right kind of people that those people will not necessarily come from a property industry background; and that franchisees should be empowered to free themselves – should they so choose - from the day-to-day running of the business altogether. | ![]() |
Training
and Support
![]() | Franchisees not only enjoy all the obvious
branding and marketing advantages that flow from being part of the
dominant national player in the sector, but they are also the
beneficiaries of a uniquely powerful and comprehensive package of
proven systems and ongoing support covering every single aspect of
running a highly successful lettings business, with expert help
always on hand from members of the company’s highly
experienced head office team. As befits an organisation that wears its hard-won Investors in People accreditation (renewed until 2010) with understandable pride, industry-leading training and staff development is a key area of the Martin & Co offering, ranging from a comprehensive induction programme that combines a thorough grounding in all the fundamentals of lettings with a detailed introduction to Martin & Co, to an extensive programme of ongoing training and support designed to enable managers and staff at all levels to develop their expertise and career opportunities within the group. |
Financial Information
Working with a dedicated Funding Manager, franchisees receive help with the development of a 5-year business plan to match their particular circumstances relevant to their territory and aspirations.

Who's Ideal for Us
Read what some of our franchisees have to
say about us…
![]() | "We were confident about getting the
business off the ground having turned around flagging estate
agencies in the past; however we weren't confident with all the
things involved with getting to the point of opening the doors. The
funding, shop fit, business plans, legalities of lettings, software
systems, accounts, joining the Ombudsman and NALS, …the list
is never ending... We were guided through the process and have had
continued support since launching from our operations director, who
always pushes us to do more and more business! We strongly
recommend the franchise route to anyone looking to own their own
business." |
| "Having been made redundant, franchising
presented the perfect opportunity to own my own business whilst
minimising the risks of starting independently. Due to the success
of Martin & Co as a brand and the fact that their business
model has been tried and tested over a number of years, it meant
the process of obtaining funding was fairly straight forward. Yes
banks are going to ask probing questions but the business plan that
Martin & Co provide all new franchises with settled any doubts
the banks I went to originally had." |
![]() | “We have worked together before and
were keen to run our own business. Reviewing the options we felt
franchising was a route we wanted to follow. We completed a full
competitive analysis of all the available choices, and Martin &
Co won hands down. Not only is theirs the leading brand in the
sector, but - in return for a lower initial investment and lower
ongoing franchise fees - their package was easily the most
comprehensive." Tony Deveney and Carl Doogan, Sheffield North |
