About Henry Sykes Auctions Franchise

Henry Sykes Auctions Franchise offers entrepreneurs an opportunity to build a high-income property business with national backing and local control. Franchisees operate their own auction agency in an exclusive region, benefiting from the brand’s proven model, powerful tech, and full support. Whether you’re already in property or looking to break into the industry, Henry Sykes Auctions provides a chance to earn strong, recurring income and build long-term value.

The brand provides everything franchisees need to succeed: a branded website, major portal access, marketing tools, lead generation systems, and expert guidance. With zero upfront seller fees, fast completions, and a 1% fall-through rate, its model attracts serious buyers and sellers alike.

Franchisees earn 65% commission, with no hidden fees or subscriptions. They can scale strategically across counties and source instructions from homeowners, agents, probate leads, and more. Franchisees also benefit from referral income and joint ventures.

How does the Henry Sykes Auctions franchise model work?

Franchisees who join Henry Sykes Auctions buy into a fully operational business model that is designed to support fast success. Each is granted an exclusive, clearly defined territory, whether it’s a full region such as the Midlands or a specific county such as East Lancashire, in which they operate their own auction-focused estate agency.

The brand provides everything franchisees need to hit the ground running: a branded website, dedicated phone and email systems, Rightmove and portal access, property and land data tools, weekly probate lead lists, legal support, marketing templates, and expert advertising guidance. This leaves franchisees free to focus on bringing in clients, supported by the franchisor.

With no upfront fees, Henry Sykes’ auction model removes barriers for sellers, delivers certainty with committed buyers, and ensures fast completion within weeks rather than months. Franchisees will earn 65% of the commission with no deductions, subscriptions, or hidden fees. Commissions are paid upon exchange, ensuring strong cash flow.

Franchisees choose their property fees, and can sell via auction, private treaty, or the brand’s Open House concept. They can also earn from referrals, joint ventures, and buying/selling their own properties. With scalable growth, repeat income, and no stock to carry, this low-overhead, high-margin business offers a path to lasting success.

What type of franchisee is Henry Sykes Auctions looking for?

Henry Sykes Auctions is seeking to build a network of like-minded people with a shared ambition to become the go-to auction experts in their region. The brand is looking for driven individuals who are ready to put in the work to build a successful business. Its franchises are a serious opportunity with serious earning potential rather than a side hustle or hobby.

Whether franchisees choose to run their franchise full-time, part-time, or as a bolt-on to an existing property business, what matters most is having a commitment, focus, and determination to grow. In short, you need to be proactive, organised, and entrepreneurial, as the results depend on your drive.

Ideally, franchisees will already have experience in sourcing clients or properties or will currently work within the property industry – such as a letting agent, estate agent, sourcer, or property professional. However, lacking a property background isn’t a deal-breaker. What franchisees must have is the budget and determination to market their franchise, generate leads, and win instructions – all areas in which the brand offers its support.

Training and support

Henry Sykes Auctions equips its franchisees with everything they need to succeed from day one. Its franchise model is designed to provide full infrastructure and ongoing support so franchisees can focus on growing their business with confidence.

The brand’s model is built on continuous, hands-on support rather than a one-off training course. This applies to all aspects of the role, from sourcing properties and marketing to negotiating and closing deals. Franchisees are shown exactly how to generate instructions using proven methods, such as direct-to-vendor outreach, estate agent partnerships, probate leads, and powerful digital campaigns. The brand also offers a generous referral scheme to partners, through which franchisees can earn a strong income from others passing properties their way – for example, estate agents, mortgage brokers, and sourcing professionals.

Weekly probate lead lists are provided in each area at no cost to franchisees, along with templates, automation tools, and access to the brand’s in-house solicitor.

As the brand grows, franchisees benefit from its upcoming Auction Aggregator Platform – a source of localised property news and a lead generation hub. The brand also provides franchisees with a branded website, portal access, call answering service, and all the systems a successful franchise needs.

Henry Sykes Auctions promises a true “Auction Agency in a Box” – training, tools, tech, and a proven playbook to help franchisees thrive and scale fast.

Why is Henry Sykes Auctions a good investment?

The property auction industry in the UK is growing fast, yet it is still massively underutilised. Only 2% of properties are currently sold via auction, compared to 25–30% in countries like Australia. However, this is changing. Auction sales in the UK have increased by 60% in the last five years alone, and more sellers are turning to this faster, more secure method of selling.

By joining Henry Sykes Auctions today, franchisees are getting in at the right time. Demand is surging, the market is shifting, and the brand’s no-upfront-fee model removes barriers for sellers, making auctions more accessible, appealing, and effective. Its fall-through rate is just 1%, compared to up to 34% with traditional estate agents. Completions happen in weeks, not months.

Franchisees can earn from auctions, private treaty sales, referrals, and even joint ventures, creating multiple income streams from one opportunity. There are no ongoing subscription fees, no hidden charges, and no stock to carry. With the brand’s systems, support, and exclusive territory, franchisees can scale at their own pace and build a valuable, long-term business.

What locations is Henry Sykes Auctions looking to target?

All 48 English counties and North, Mid, and South Wales – a total of 51 franchises in all.

What are the franchise terms of agreement and renewal?

Three-year term. Renewal is subject to performance, set depending on area.
