How does No Letting Go’s property management service franchise model work?

No Letting Go describes its franchise framework as a low cost franchise perfect for business people to start their own enterprises - the No Letting Go business model provides property professionals with a high return on their investment in a solid and reliable marketplace that is growing year-on-year.

The company currently has 85 franchisees operating around the United Kingdom in its own prime marketing territories, the majority building their businesses from sole trader conducting property inspections themselves, growing the business until they can take on inventory clerks who can carry out most of the report preparation and dealing with tenants, leaving the franchisee free to manage and further build the business by developing relationships with the residential lettings providers in the area.

The key services provided include a detailed report on the general condition of the property prior to a tenant taking possession, as well as detailing the items in the property — it covers the décor, cleanliness, meter readings, compliance with legislation such as smoke and CO2 detectors, and the risk of legionella.

This report can then be used for the check-in with the tenant in which they accept and sign for the property in the condition it was in when they moved in and mid-term property visits.

You won’t need any industry experience or qualifications to become a No Letting Go franchisee, as the company offers everything as part of the franchise package.

The initial investment (franchise fee) is £17,950 with a capital of £7,000. The royalty fee is 10 per cent.

What support and training does the No Letting Go franchise offer?

The first steps in the journey to becoming a No Letting Go franchisee include an informal phone call where you can ask any questions and sound out the area you are interested in to see if it is available.

A meeting will allow you to evaluate the business opportunity and the company and let No Letting Go get to know you. Franchisees will have the opportunity to speak to, or even meet, existing franchisees before any final decisions are made.

The franchise owner will receive extensive initial and ongoing training on all aspects of the business from inventory reporting to sales, marketing and leadership through the No Letter Go Academy. Through them, a franchisee will be given all the required business processes and planning tools, market-leading inventory property management software and guaranteed local work as part of the franchise-wide contracts negotiated by the franchisor with national letting agents.

After the initial classroom period, the franchisee will receive one-on-one training time providing advice and guidance in all aspects of the business, generating reports, winning business from potential customers, managing the operation, recruiting clerks or general administration.

No Letting Go’s training not only focuses on the delivery and management of the condition of a property prior, during and after a tenancy but also on a wider understanding of the lettings business.

This includes knowledge of tenancy deposit schemes, legal requirements, tenancies agreements, landlord and tenant obligations and much more. To ensure its high standards are maintained, it is crucial that the franchise business owners understand all aspects of the lettings procedure, ensuring that No Letting Go continues to offer the very best in the marketplace.

No Letting Go has invested greatly in bespoke property management software and technology in order to keep ahead of its competitors. The heart of the business, and the key to its success, is creating quickly compiled, detailed and accurate reports, which can be swiftly delivered to the client.

Through KAPTUR, these can be generated on-site on a tablet and stored and accessed in a unique online CRM system, which has been designed to minimise the administration time for the franchisee.

Support is offered by the head office team, with a dedicated franchise support manager devoted to maximising the potential of each franchise and, as well as providing advice and guidance in all aspects of running the business.

What is No Letting Go’s track record like for reliability?

There have been no cases lost as a result of using the complete No Letting Go service, and the company prides itself on the turnaround of its business and excellent customer service.

What are the latest innovations which No Letting Go franchisees are able to utilise?

In the summer of 2018, No Letting Go franchisees were introduced to the latest in marketing: virtual tours. These are predicted to become a vital part of property viewings in the future. Virtual reality (VR) has been gaining popularity in the gaming world for years and is the logical next step in property management.

Traditionally agents could spend entire days off-site with potential buyers narrowing down a list of properties. With VR, buyers and renters are treated to a more accurate representation of a property.

They can walk the space and complete first viewings of properties from the comfort of their own home or the agent’s office.

The experience is so immersive, you can step out onto balconies and take in the views around the property as well. To set up a VR tour for a listing, agents will require the help of an industry professional, and that is where No Letting Go franchisees can step in.

How in-demand is property rental right now?

UK tenant demand continued to increase to a net balance of +43% in 2023, according to the latest Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) UK Residential Market Survey, which shows the residential property rental market holding steady at a time when fewer properties reaching the market are dragging down house prices. While the supply of rental stock coming onto the market is in decline, rent growth is expected to outpace prices, rising 4.9%  in the 12 months to March 2023.

As the average tenancy is now 22 months, the average potential spend on No Letting Go services is estimated at £310 per tenancy. This means the inventory market is worth up to £849 million per annum.
