Residential Estate Agency Franchise

Bairstow Eves Countrywide is one of the most respected names in UK estate agency. Already the biggest brand within the country's largest estate agency group (Countrywide Estate Agents), we plan to grow even bigger still, through franchising. This is your chance to become a part of the success story with all the benefits it brings.

With a pedigree stretching back over 100 years, Bairstow Eves Countrywide now boasts a national network of over 300 branches. Over 100 branches within the M25 make us Greater London's largest estate agency network.

Our success is built on our professionalism, our reputation for getting results, and our total commitment to customer care. That's what continues to make us the UK's fastest growing network.

We plan to double the size of our business within the next five years.  With your help we will have a branch in every town.

The UK's largest estate agency

The Countrywide Estate Agents Group is the UK's largest estate agency with over 1200 branches (1100 owned/100 franchised) and is part of Countrywide plc. Countrywide Estate Agents owns some of the best known and strongest estate agency brands in the UK, with over 40 in total.

Here's how you fit in...

As a franchisee, right from day one, you will enjoy all the benefits that the sector's most respected operator provides. Whatever your level of experience, our professional team will deliver excellent training and support to help you assist vendors to get the most from the Bairstow Eves Countrywide system and brand. Our unique set up and support framework is designed to give you a branch in a box solution - starting with your phone call to us and resulting in our leaving you in charge of your own fully fledged and functioning estate agency operation.

Not only do we give you hands on support and assistance to set up your new estate agency, you will also have access to an unrivalled range of services - mortgages through Countrywide Estate Agents FS; surveys via Countrywide Surveyors and conveyancing through Countrywide Property Lawyers. Quite literally you will be part of a one-stop property shopping service.

Will I be running my own business?
