Fourth franchise for Belvoir entrepreneur

Belvoir franchisee, Lloyd Rumbold, has completed on the resale of Belvoir West Bridgford, adding a fourth franchise to his portfolio of offices, which also includes a dedicated student lets business.

He now owns the Mansfield, Nottingham Central, Nottingham West and West Bridgford offices. Lloyd, who worked in a Belvoir franchise for five years prior to becoming a franchisee in 2014, commented: “When Belvoir West Bridgford recently became available as a resale, this seemed like a perfect opportunity for further business expansion. We have always got on well with the West Bridgford team, so whilst it was the right time for the directors to sell, the team were happy to stay on, which has been extremely helpful.

“Because we now own several franchises in the Nottingham area, I am able to allocate one team member to manage a landlord’s entire portfolio even if it is spread across different areas. We can now deliver a real one-to-one, personalised service rather than landlords having to deal with different agents.

“The four offices now have a huge, combined portfolio, and we also have the student lets side of the business. We have just taken on a purpose-built development of 66 apartments that is running as a PBSA – a dedicated student development with cinemas and gyms etc.”
