Mike Goddard, Chief Executive Officer of Belvoir Lettings, commenting on the results, said: “2016 was another good year for Belvoir as we continued to deliver on our promise to leverage our expertise as a property franchisor through our multi-brand strategy with the acquisition of Northwood.  In addition, and against a background of uncertainty within the sector due to Brexit and regulatory changes in the buy-to-let market, we have seen further growth in our networks from organic growth, local franchisee-led portfolio acquisitions and new franchise owners.  These have all contributed to broadening the base from which the Group can continue to develop and grow underpinned by highly professional franchisees and sound business ethics. 

“In 2017 the Board will be looking to take advantage of the opportunities anticipated from uncertainty caused by the proposed changes to tenant fees, further consolidating our recent acquisitions to extract additional efficiencies and leveraging our large managed property portfolio to further increase shareholder value.”
