Letting agency Franchises in the UK

Why buy a letting agency franchise? Letting agency franchises are in demand more than ever due to the amount of people currently renting; 4.5 million households in the UK rent privately.  A lot of this due to many not being able to afford the rising cost of a mortgage, though other people rent if studying or working away from home or saving to get a mortgage.  Letting agency franchises allow those with an interest in the UK property market to start their own business using an established brand name.  Letting agency franchise opportunities include Belvoir, Hunters, Century21, Winkworth, Martin and Co to name a few.
