To protect the interests of our customers and franchisees, we are fiercely protective of our brands and require the highest quality of service. To be considered as a potential franchisee you will need to have:
- Some estate agency or residential lettings experience, or for those with no experience a willingness to recruit a suitably experienced member of staff.
- A highly customer-focused approach to business.
- Sufficient funds to invest properly.
- A clearly thought out and achievable business plan.
- A hunger and drive to be the best at what you do.

Training
One of the most important steps in getting a new franchise off to a good start is training. Dedicated to raising professional standards, Xperience has made a serious commitment to providing initial and ongoing training for all franchisees within the network. We have arranged for some of the industry’s best-known trainers to hold courses exclusively for our franchisees and their staff.
Our initial training consists of a residential course to cover the various aspects of lettings and management and the bespoke software systems. A similar course covers the needs of residential sales. These courses are backed up by an in branch training programme both before and after launch.
We also run in-house training courses such as:
- Induction aimed at giving new employees a basic grounding in residential lettings ,essential compliance and residential sales leading to the Xperience Diploma.
- Mortgage Workshop to improve the mortgage lead generation of sales staff.
- Our experienced Franchise Directors and Field Managers can provide additional one-to-one training and IT support. They also have the necessary expertise and experience to ensure that franchisees are up-to-date on the latest estate agency and lettings legislation.
Most training is free during the term of franchise.
