Ashtons is a successful independent estate agency established in 2006, we have developed the Ashtons Franchise system in tune with this independent culture. The system has been designed to enable the independent agent to feel fully integrated into the Ashtons established network but not so prescriptive as to constrain the natural entrepreneurial instincts of the successful independent estate agent.
Membership of the Ashtons Franchise enables independent estate agents to operate effectively as both Residential Sales and Lettings Agents under a well-established local brand backed up by a full support package of marketing, technology, training, business advice etc.
Franchisees can also participate in a number of other business activities without expending the time effort and money to establish them on their own. With a Home Information Pack and our own independent Mortgage Advice company www.amortgage.co.uk solution ready to Ashtons presents a future-proof profile to qualified prospective Members. This leverage effectively enables ambitious entrepreneurs to compete with the larger corporate players on a level playing field but still have the independence of running their own company - the best of both worlds.
We believe that to be successful in business, apart from having the right product, image is of utmost importance and as a Ashtons franchise owner, you will be fully equipped to set the standards that other agents may only dream of portraying.
