Are you interested in starting a low-risk, home-based business that has the potential to expand into a sizable, office-based enterprise?
X-Press Legal Services is an ideal franchise for ambitious individuals or couples seeking flexibility and independence in their next career step. The business can be run from home, with minimal overheads, making set-up relatively inexpensive and low-risk.
So why not sign up for a family-based franchise that provides ongoing sales training in a supportive setting where franchisees may retain their independence while also feeling like they are a part of a wider support network.
The top supplier of regulated property searches and reports to solicitors and conveyancing experts is X-Press Legal Services.
Over 400,000 regulated searches and reports are delivered to UK customers annually by independently owned firms trusted by more than 500 legal practices in England and Wales.
Since 2005, when X-Press Legal Services became a franchise, more than half of the company’s current franchisees have been a part of it.
To join the top property searchers, you don’t require a legal background. All you need is ambition, tech know-how, and superb attention to detail.
What Will I Be Doing?
You will be providing solicitors and other conveyancing professionals with specialist property searches and reports (an essential part of the property-buying process in the UK). X-Press delivers almost 400,000 searches and reports to the conveyancing sector every year, and is trusted by more than 500 legal practices nationwide.
What, you may ask, is a property search? Property searches are an essential component of the conveyancing process, giving our industry the security of regular, repeat business which is recession proof. This benefits our franchise owners as they are able to nurture stable, lasting relationships with long-standing clients.
Most of your work would relate to property sales, developments, remortgages and repossessions for both residential and commercial markets. As such, the property search industry is almost entirely business-to-business, and your client base will predominantly be legal professionals.
You will also have access to an extensive range of additional products and services to enhance your business and the support you can provide.
