Martin & Co - Residential Lettings Franchise
|
Martin & Co is already the largest and fastest-growing residential lettings and property management franchise in the UK. Its website is independently acknowledged to be the most visited lettings agent’s website.
Martin & Co is 100% focused on franchise growth, with offices from Truro to Aberdeen, Folkestone to Belfast, and offices in prime central London and Wales. The business continues to innovate and there is a Student Homes sub-brand for use by any franchisee with a University or College campus within their territory. Martin & Co is an Investor in People and delivers continuous professional development training to franchisees and their staff at convenient regional locations. |
Martin & Co has been franchising since 1995 and is a full Member of the British Franchise Association and proud winner of Franchisor of the Year (The Negotiator Awards). Its customers voted it Best Large Letting Chain Gold in 2009 and Silver in 2010 (Estate Agent & Letting Agent Awards).
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. |
 |
In particular we are looking to expand our presence in Northern Ireland and are planning some roadshows during the rest of this year. Contact us to register your interest.
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 c areer 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…
|
I wanted to run my own business and having investigated various franchise options in the property lettings business Martin & Co impressed me with their professionalism. I have always had a genuine interest in property and I recognised that that the trend was moving away from sales and towards lettings, as Belfast became a more vibrant and attractive city to live in. Martin & Co have successful offices throughout England, Scotland and Wales and Ireland isn’t any different. I don’t feel I have encountered any differences to the rest of the network as a result of operating in Northern Ireland. Gordon Campbell, Belfast |

"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." |

“I have seen Martin & Co grow as a brand and felt that buying into a proven franchise model would give me the additional specialist support I needed to run my own lettings business. Dundee has a large student population and significant regeneration has taken place. The lettings market and future in this area is certainly buoyant! " Susan Hume, Dundee |
