Case Studies

Daniel Proctor and Sophie Holden

Daniel purchased Gravesend and Dartford in May 2016, and has recently purchased a second area. “One of the great aspects of the franchise is the fact that we work for ourselves, but with the support of a wider team at Head Office. We love the fact that the job role is so flexible and there is great potential for growth”.

Property franchises are booming. Here’s why No Letting Go looks the safest bet for the future

January 13, 2026

Aspiring franchise owners are flocking to property services — and with major renter reform on the horizon, compliance-led brands with strong tech are best placed to thrive.

Investor interest in property franchises has surged, driven by resilient, repeatable demand for lettings support services, inventories and inspections. Unlike sales-dependent models, these services are essential across market cycles and directly tied to compliance, deposit protection and dispute resolution. For would-be franchisees, that translates into dependable income, clear service lines and strong client retention.

Why No Letting Go stands out for franchise buyers

Built for a compliance-heavy market

No Letting Go specialises in the reports that underpin end-of-tenancy negotiations and day-to-day property management — check-ins, check-outs, property visits and more. As renter protections tighten and documentation standards rise, agents and landlords increasingly outsource this work to trusted specialists. That puts No Letting Go franchisees in the slipstream of long-term, non-discretionary demand.

Proprietary proptech that creates extra revenue

A key advantage is No Letting Go’s in-house software, Kaptur — purpose-built to streamline scheduling, on-site data capture and report production. Kaptur’s exclusive, first-to-market feature Konnect unlocks a unique second income stream: work can be outsourced into the nationwide No Letting Go network by Kaptur users who would normally complete inspections in-house. In practice, that means franchisees can win revenue from both their own clients and from the wider Kaptur ecosystem, without extra marketing spend.

Future-proofed against legislative change

With significant rental sector reforms expected, evidential standards and audit-ready reporting will only grow in importance. No Letting Go’s model is built around defensible, professional reporting — giving franchisees a proposition that aligns squarely with where the market is heading.

What this means for franchisees

Recurring, needs-based services: Inventories and inspections are essential, not optional. Clients rely on accurate reports to manage risk, negotiate deposits and stay compliant.
Scalability with low overheads: Process-driven work, streamlined by Kaptur, helps new owners ramp up quickly and add capacity efficiently.
Extra jobs via Konnect: The Konnect feature routes paid work from across the Kaptur user base into the No Letting Go network, providing an additional pipeline alongside local business development.
Credibility and trust: A national brand built on quality standards helps franchisees win and retain multi-property and multi-branch accounts.

Voice from the network

“The future of the rental market is about flexibility, professionalism and compliance. With Kaptur — and Konnect feeding work from across the platform — our franchisees can scale efficiently while meeting clients’ heightened evidential requirements.” — Nick Lyons, CEO of No Letting Go and Kaptur Software.

The bottom line

If you’re weighing up franchise sectors for resilience, compliance-led demand and scalable tech, property services are a standout pick — and No Letting Go combines national brand strength with proprietary software and real routes to extra income. With reforms sharpening the focus on evidence and transparency, No Letting Go’s proposition is engineered for the next phase of the rental market.
