Business Ownership
A unique opportunity
In 1981, Winkworth became the first franchised estate agency in the UK. From a handful of central London offices in the
early days, the network has now grown to over 70 offices in carefully selected areas.
Every Winkworth office is independently owned and operated, which means that Winkworth franchisees can drive their businesses
to unlimited levels of success whilst utilising the strength and resources of a renowned brand.
Winkworth aims to open ten new offices per year and there are currently business opportunities available at locations across the UK.

Franchisee testimonials
Michael Duke owned a successful estate agency in Alfriston, East Sussex. However, he realised the benefits of joining a much larger organisation. Now, as franchisee of Winkworth Alfriston, and with plans for a second franchise in the pipeline, Michael says:
Since joining Winkworth, my business has flourished. Our office profile in the upper end of the country house market has been boosted immensely. We now offer our clients' properties the type of exposure that wasn't usually possible as a single independent. Various client's have even admitted to me that it was the Winkworth name that persuaded them to choose us, as it inspires confidence. Becoming a Winkworth franchisee was, without a doubt, a very positive step for me.
Similarly, Tim Winney was the owner of two independent estate agencies in Dorset - he joined the Winkworth group in February 2006. Tim says:
Estate agency is a changing business and clients are demanding more and more from their agents. As a small independent agent, it became very obvious to me that I was only offering the same as my competitors and I really wanted to gain that all-important 'edge'. It was without hesitation that I decided to join Winkworth and utilise the tools and resources on offer to help my business to grow and to move into the higher end property market.
The response from our clients has been fantastic. Everyone recognises the Winkworth name and they are proud to have their properties associated with such a strong brand.
