Originally established in 1998, Beaumont Residential boasts four separate estate agency offices serving the Wakefield region. With a total of over 35 staff, Beaumont Residential has joined Mortgage Talk's highly successful franchised mortgage services business, with the aim of becoming one of the area's leading financial services oriented estate agency chains.
Beaumont Residential's Sales Director, Simon Miller, believes that signing up to the Mortgage Talk franchise is an excellent way to boost revenue, especially in the light of the recent Financial Services Authority regulations. He said "We examined a number of alternatives, and concluded that being part of the national Mortgage Talk brand would significantly benefit our financial services business. Furthermore, being associated with Mortgage Talk allows us to offer a wide range of mortgages, including residential, buy-to-let, sub-prime and remortgages."
"Altogether, we have a team of advisors covering each of our branches in Outwood, Pontefract and Normanton, as well as our head office in Wakefield city centre. The Mortgage Talk franchise represents an ideal complement to our core business of property sales and conveyancing," adds Miller.
According to Peter Birch, Franchise Director at Mortgage Talk, the
recruitment of Beaumont Residential to Mortgage Talk's substantial portfolio of franchisees demonstrates the advantage to estate agencies in outsourcing their mortgage related business to financial services experts. He said: "Since its
launch, we have been thrilled at the response we have received to Mortgage Talk's franchise opportunity. October's FSA regulations are already proving a huge incentive for estate agents to seek alliances with experts such as Mortgage Talk, as well as helping them to improve their bottom line profit."
"Mortgage Talk's franchise opportunity provides estate agents with excellent financial services revenue, coupled with easily managed administration. We are delighted to welcome Beaumont Residential to the Mortgage Talk franchise
team, and look forward to an excellent working relationship,'" Birch added.
