About Belvoir Lettings PLC

Founded in 1995, Belvoir is the UK's largest property franchise group, with 302 outlets nationwide.

Since listing on AIM in February 2012 (BLV.L), Belvoir has continued to diversify its core business offer in lettings by broadening into property sales. Operating from its Central Office in Grantham, Lincolnshire, the Group now offers a range of specialist services in property rental, property management, residential lettings, buy to let and property sales.

Belvoir's core revenue is derived from Management Service Fees (MSF); a reliable recurring revenue model which allows the Group to offer franchisees significant support and advice.

In 2015 Belvoir launched its multi-brand franchising strategy; acquiring Newton Fallowell Limited, an East Midlands-based network of 31 outlets in July 2015 and Goodchilds Estate Agents and Lettings Limited, a West Midlands-based network of 14 outlets in October 2015. In June 2016 Belvoir acquired Northwood GB Limited, a network of 86 residential lettings and property sales agents operating across the UK, making Belvoir the largest property franchise group in the UK.

Belvoir continues to grow organically by delivering award winning service, prioritising franchisee recruitment and supporting franchisee acquisitions. In recognition, Belvoir was awarded the "Best Lettings Agency Franchise Award" at the 2016 Lettings Agency of the Year Awards for the sixth time since the awards started seven years ago.

The Company remains committed to diversifying its brand portfolio, utilising the Group's strong franchising expertise and infrastructure, in order to capitalise on a consolidating market.
