The Flatman Partnership franchise

The Flatman Partnership is an Estate Agency specialising in sales and lettings of residential properties from a network of regional offices which enables individuals with no previous property experience to become experts in their local market running their own estate agency office.

Specialising in residential sales AND lettings means that The Flatman Partnership covers all sides of the property market, allowing our franchisees to gain maximum returns from their business in what is an enjoyable and rewarding market.

Our ‘end to end’ service has been the mainstay of The Flatman Partnership system for over 15 years and each office has become known as the ‘local property experts’.

DOES IT WORK?

Yes - Flatman’s began with a pilot franchise to ensure our systems were being developed in line with ethical franchising policies and the British Franchise Association’s (BFA) Code of Ethics. The Flatman Partnership model has been tried, tested, proven and continually refined to ensure that you can join us with no previous property experience, building up the skills and knowledge necessary to develop your own thriving business in a very short space of time.

THE INVESTMENT:

Your total investment will be between £40,000 and £60,000 depending on location. We have a number of funding options available including the UK Government Start-Up loans scheme, and in certain circumstances you could be able to open your own Flatman’s office with just £10,000 of your own capital.

Earning Potential

The Flatman Partnership was originally formed over 15 years ago to handle sales and lettings via a number of regional offices. Run today by the Managing Director, Nick Barker, who has been in Estate Agency for over 35 years, and has opened numerous regional offices, The Flatman Partnership specialises in building relationships with buyers, vendors, tenants, landlords and property developers.

The attention to detail, customer service and refined systems of The Flatman Partnership came to the fore during the challenges of a COVID-19 ravaged marketplace, during which the business actually continued to thrive and still increased turnover and profitability year-on-year.

Many traditional estate agencies focus on either sales or lettings, but very few actually handle both simultaneously. Experience of trading during difficult market conditions (including the 2008 property crash, the effects of Brexit and more recently the COVID-19 pandemic) has shown that by combining sales and lettings into one office, there is a tendency for downturns in one area of the market to be matched by upturns in the other. For example, if mortgage rates become unaffordable, there are fewer houses being sold, but more being rented.

The Flatman Partnership has gained a reputation for all-encompassing reliability and quality of service which were the original hallmarks used to establish the business, and which are still used to great effect today.
