“We manage more properties than any other group in the United Kingdom, through 900 franchised territories. It is my role to negotiate deals that understand our scale, and benefit each of our franchisees by giving the best products and services in the market, along with the best financial arrangements. We searched the market, and the combined power of PIB and Barbon delivered exactly what we asked for. The new renter’s rights legislation, along with the most recent governments budget, present unprecedented challenges to my franchisees, we needed to respond and get our businesses ahead of the curve. Our new and exclusive partnership with Let Alliance and HomeLet will deliver organic growth and improve the profitability of each of our franchised businesses. Every one of our landlord customers will be huge beneficiaries.”

We have committed our significant resources and leading tech platform to this partnership, and we will evolve over time, as the market changes, we will respond and support TPFG every step of the way.”
