Launching a premium estate agency in the United Kingdom has traditionally required significant capital, years of industry experience and the ability to build a trusted brand from the ground up. The Ivybridge Collection offers a different path through a selective franchise partnership model that allows individuals and teams to operate their own director led estate agency within a national framework that specialises in distinctive and high value homes.
Starting independently demands mastering brand creation, marketing, compliance, portal management, client onboarding and the full range of operational tasks. These responsibilities often prevent new agents from focusing on client relationships and presentation, which are the elements that drive performance in the premium market. A franchise partnership removes these barriers by providing a proven structure, national identity and centralised operational support.
Partners within The Ivybridge Collection benefit from director level guidance, refined marketing systems and an established reputation built around trust, presentation and thoughtful client service. This allows new Regional Directors to concentrate on what truly matters, representing significant homes with clarity and expertise.
Our approach is rooted in direct involvement. Every Regional Director works closely with Ivybridge HQ, receiving strategic support, creative production and full operational management from our central team. This ensures that each territory offers a consistent, premium experience while retaining the autonomy and ownership that franchise partners value.
You can explore the structure in detail on our Partnership Model page.
Success in the premium property market depends on the quality of the area you serve. The Ivybridge Collection defines territories by property density, local demand and the presence of homes typically valued above one million pounds. We offer exclusive regions across the United Kingdom, each selected for its long term potential and suitability for a director led luxury estate agency.

Our earning model is simple, fair and designed for sustainability. Franchise partners earn income through client fees in their territory while Ivybridge HQ manages the operational work behind the scenes, including marketing, compliance and client documentation. This allows partners to focus on strategy and client relationships while accessing a robust support structure.
You can learn more about the financial structure on our Earnings and Investment page.
Every partner receives structured onboarding, direct access to our leadership team and comprehensive creative support that includes photography, copywriting, brochures, property branding and online presentation. Operational administration is handled centrally, ensuring a consistent premium standard across all territories and freeing partners from day to day management overheads.

The Ivybridge franchise partnership is designed for people who value autonomy, refined presentation and meaningful client relationships. You do not need estate agency experience, although strong communication skills, commercial awareness and a commitment to quality are essential. Many successful partners come from leadership, creative or client facing backgrounds.
If you are considering starting a premium estate agency in your region, the most effective way to assess the opportunity is through a private conversation. We can discuss your goals, your region and whether this partnership aligns with your ambitions.
