The Property Franchise Group

In January 2020, The Property Franchise Group which is the parent company of numerous estate agencies including, Martin & Co, EweMove and Whitegates, announced plans to create a new financial services division to support mortgage activity. Meanwhile, Connaught Private Finance Mortgage Advisors has been launched by London-based estate agency, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Kay & Co. It's described as the exclusive mortgage advisor for BHHS Kay & Co with the ability to help home-buyers secure regular high street mortgages and specialist options too. With the outlook for the mortgage market looking upbeat and estate agencies on the lookout for the next area of growth, it's likely that more estate agencies could follow suit and add a mortgage string to their property industry bow.
