ROOMS®

The demand for room lets represents a huge business opportunity

There has been a prolonged housing shortage in the UK, which has seen a continued increase in the gap between the supply and the demand for private rented housing.

The result has been increased rental values, which while good for landlords, have lead many renters to seek shared accommodation in order to manage their living costs.

This represents a fantastic business opportunity, since excellence in the management of houses in multiple occupation (HMO’s) has a very different set of business requirements from that of a typical letting agent, however, the rental yields they generate far outstrips that of single let properties.

We are the first national franchise network to specialise solely in the management of shared accommodation. The fact that you are reading our profile now presents you with an opportunity to become a part of that network, and become a part of the ROOMS® brand- clearly defined and focused on winning market share in the emerging market for good quality, shared accommodation.

This business isn’t for everyone

We are not in the business of selling franchises, however, we are seeking highly ambitions individuals who value the opportunity to come into a business network where the only limit is their own drive.

This business does not suit everyone, but If you think that the following paragraphs describe you and would suit your working style then a ROOMS® franchise warrants a closer look.

Firstly, this isn’t easy. Starting your own business never has been, and it takes hard work and long hours to get things off the ground. Determination is the key, as well as the ability to work strategically in the shorter term to achieve greater, longer term gains.

With ownership of your own business also comes responsibility which can be tough sometimes, but equally rewarding.

As a property and lettings management business this is a people business and good communication skills and a love of property will make it an enjoyable and satisfying one.

Capital investment

Our franchise fee is £18,500
