Your Move Margate has been sold by Patrick McConnell to LSL Estate Agency Franchising’s (LSL EAF) biggest franchise partner, National Home Move.

National Home Move already operates 51 Your Move and 13 Reeds Rains branches throughout Britain.

The acquisition has been completed through the LSL EAF branch resale programme, which enables franchise partners within the business to acquire other LSL EAF franchise branches when previous owners are looking to sell or retire.

Your Move has an established and strong presence in Kent, with more than 20 branches stretching across the county, including Ramsgate, Sittingbourne, Sheerness and Ashford.

Franchise partners

Lee Carratt, Franchise Partnerships Director at LSL EAF, said: “I’m delighted to see the Your Move Margate branch become part of National Home Move.

“This is exactly what our Resale Programme is designed to do – match franchise partners looking to exit, with existing franchise partners looking to expand.

“It’s a win-win offering a real benefit to our estate agency partners who are planning to retire, for example, and at the same time drives growth for our existing franchisees.”

We’re actively seeking our next opportunity, partnering with businesses that align with our ambitions.”

Matthew McCreath, Managing Director of National Home Move, said: “I am delighted to welcome the team from Your Move Margate to National Home Move, and we’re looking forward to working with them and local home movers and landlords in Margate.

“We’re actively seeking our next opportunity, partnering with businesses that align with our ambitions and can help us continue our growth journey.

“Extending our presence across Kent is a natural step for National Home Move and I would like to wish Patrick well with his next chapter. The team at LSL EAF have been great throughout and I would like to thank them for supporting us through this process.”
