Who are we?

Property might not be the first thing you think of when considering a franchise – but creating a property business backed by a proven franchise model comes with huge benefits.  Achieve £50,000 to £150,000 pa income with 15% ROI from property – three to four times more income than traditional buy to let portfolios – investing in quality houses of multiple occupation (HMOs).

For over 15 years, we’ve used our tried and tested HMO business model to guide our Franchise Partners in the purchase, renovation and tenanting of HMOs. This low-risk model has helped more than 400 people build their successful portfolios, in a network of over 1200 high-quality properties across the country.

How does it work?

Platinum franchisees follow a robust and de-risked property investment model in highly profitable, but complex co-living properties. Known as Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), the Platinum model is backed by expert training, mentoring and coaching, as well as ongoing support across key areas of property investment, including planning, lettings, tax, licensing, and finance.

This safety net of expertise eliminates potentially costly mistakes and protects each franchise partners’ investment capital.

Platinum Property Partners helps its partners to:

• Find suitable and development-friendly properties in high-demand areas
• Cost-effectively renovate property into multiple-room co-living properties
• Navigate the minefield of legislation, planning and licensing that comes with letting out co-living properties
• Grow their businesses in a tax-efficient way and scale their portfolios with ongoing support from the company’s Power Team of business growth mentors, accountants, tax, and finance experts
• Develop personally and professionally, creating a lasting legacy for their families.

What is an HMO?

Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) might spark images of student houses or ‘low quality’, cramped properties.

The co-living properties that Platinum franchise partners offer couldn’t be further from that stereotype.

They are beautifully renovated, high-quality, safe, and bespoke homes for professional people.

The benefits of a Platinum Property Partners franchise

‘‘I can invest in property on my own – why do I need to pay a franchise to do it?’

It’s a question we hear frequently and, of course, the answer is: ‘You don’t.’

But any investment is a risk and co-living / HMO property investment comes with some hugely costly potential mistakes – not least buying a property that either can’t be converted into an HMO due to licensing restraints or won’t work as a co-living home due to its layout or size.

Our planning, licensing, purchasing and renovation mentors don’t allow those kinds of mistakes to happen.

They de-risk the process of building a property business and help to ensure our Franchise Partners generate the highest possible returns.

How much does the franchise cost?

The franchise fee for a 10-year partnership with Platinum is £29,995 plus VAT.

To fund your property business’, you’ll need access to between £300,000 and £700,000 of working capital to cover both the franchise fee and the purchase and renovation of your first property.

The actual amount of capital depends, of course, on where you are looking to invest.

For example, a property in London will cost more to purchase and renovate than one in the North West or Yorkshire & The Humber.

What experience do I need?

The short answer is ‘none’.

The most important traits that the company looks for in potential franchisees is determination, positivity, and a community-minded outlook. If you want to become a part of the community play a part in the continued growth of what has become a powerful and collaborative network, then this is the right franchise for you.

Platinum franchise partners come from all walks of life.

Some have property investment experience, others have none. Some have owned their own businesses before, while others are employed and remain so while they grow their businesses – until their portfolio income replaces their salary, at which time they often give up work and enjoy having more time to do the things they love.

Because the community of franchise partners is built on support and collaboration, it’s important that both franchisee and franchisor are a good fit for each other.
