Hot property in the UK
News of the UK property market has spread across the globe. And our client, a South African mortgage lender, wanted a piece of the action. They came to us to gain a thorough understanding of the UK estate agency market and for advice on potential franchise opportunities.
Combining desk research with qualitative interviews, we completed a thorough
market overview for our client. We also conducted a survey on industry regulations to provide a full perspective on the regulatory environment. The final stage was to analyse UK firms in terms of geography and market size in order to identify opportunities for a UK estate agency franchise.
While our research revealed a low barrier to entry, we predicted an increase in industry regulation which was not such good news. Taking everything into account,we delivered recommendations on the best franchise opportunities that we had found. All this sound advice enabled our client to plan their long-term strategy to becoming hot property in the UK.
