Thinking about expanding your estate agency career by taken over an existing franchisee? You are not alone – many estate agents see franchising as a logical next step to running their own business – although it is not for everyone.

Those of you potentially interested in joining an established estate agency franchise may be interested to learn that Winkworth is looking for a new owner to take over an existing territory in the south-east of England.

A Winkworth spokesperson says: “The current franchisee is looking to retire from a Winkworth business based in a popular and affluent area in the South-east. The franchisee has been operating for over 15 years and the business has been consistently profitable for a number of years.

“The Winkworth franchise currently offers a full range of services, including residential sales, lettings and property management and has a well-established team in an attractive, fully equipped office in a high street location.”

Chris Brand, Winkworth’s new franchising Manager, describes this as an “excellent opportunity” for an ambitious professional with a proven track record in estate agency to take over the business.

“The office is based in one of the South-east’s most desirable areas, attracting commuters and those who are looking to move for a change of lifestyle, as well as families who are seeking excellent schools,” he said.
