The Property Franchise Group PLC is the largest multi-brand property franchisor in the United Kingdom, specializing in residential lettings, estate agency, and property-related financial services. The company operates a capital-light franchise and licensing model, supporting a vast network of over 1,900 independent business owners across the UK and internationally. Its portfolio encompasses 18 distinct brands, including high-street names like Martin & Co, Belvoir, Hunters, and Northwood, as well as hybrid and premium brands such as EweMove and Fine & Country.
The company's revenue is divided into three primary segments: Property Franchising, Financial Services, and Licensing. Property Franchising is the largest contributor, generating income through recurring Management Service Fees (MSF) based on the turnover of its franchisees' lettings and sales activities. The Financial Services division, significantly expanded through the 2024 acquisition of Belvoir Group PLC, operates a network of over 300 mortgage advisers brokering mortgages and life assurance products, primarily as an appointed representative of Mortgage Advice Bureau. The Licensing division, bolstered by the acquisition of The Guild of Property Professionals, provides membership and licensing services to independent estate agents.
Geographically, the company's core focus is the UK, though brands like Fine & Country provide an international footprint across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. By leveraging its scale, multi-brand strategy, and recurring revenue streams from the resilient lettings market, The Property Franchise Group maintains a strong competitive position in the UK residential property sector.
