Property management franchise scheme SDL Property Partners has signed up two new franchisees.

The scheme, operated by SDL Property Management, which also has its own lettings and surveying business, has signed up Sam Kamara for the Croydon area and Suleman Ghauri to manage his own brand in west London.

Franchisees can earn 70% of management fees and are given back-office and business support as well as help with accounts, compliance, marketing and building a website.

Kamara, who has worked in the property industry for 14 years, said: “I am excited about what this unique opportunity has to offer and to have the chance to work in a niche area which is currently undergoing significant regeneration.

“I hope to make a meaningful contribution to the local area and to enhance the property management service in Croydon.”

Fellow new franchisee Ghauri already works with SDL as a surveyor.

It comes after the SDL Property Group announced it will aim to raise more than £100,000 this year for its partner charity, The Donna Louise, which provides palliative care services and support to children, young people and their families.

One of the activities will see participants take part in the SDL Tour: The Three Peaks in April. This will see teams travel through England, Wales and Scotland via car, completing five trails, including a mountain climb, in order to win points and be crowned overall winner.
