Purchasing a Franchise

Purchasing a franchise gives you the opportunity to invest in and be part of a pre-established business. Typically, purchasing a franchise allows you to use the brand of a business and establish a profitable franchise.

Franchising part of your business?

Opting to franchise your business is not an easy decision to make, as whilst it can create many opportunities it can also pose substantial risks as you are ultimately agreeing to hand over autonomy of your brand.

I was extremely pleased with the service that Kerry provided in order to sell my mothers house. Good, prompt communication and all questions dealt with or answered as requested. Consequently I would recommend yours services to others.

Kerry and Carolyn were always friendly and professional and kept meet up to date every stage of the journey. Most of our communicating was online which was great as documents could be sent instantly and our conversations were in writing in case I needed to refer back to them later on. I cannot recommend them enough.

After almost a year of being messed about by potential buyers my house sale went through. I feel that both Kerry and Carolyn of Rothera Bray conveyancing team were patient and understanding of my situation and nothing seemed too much trouble. The actual conveyancing process seemed effortless on my part and when the actual final purchase of the property went through, they kept me informed of what was happening throughout all stages. I would certainly recommend Rothera Bray for any conveyancing required and only wished others were as professional and understanding in their approach.

Thank you so much to Emily and her team. We managed to buy a house within 6 weeks and connect the selling of our property together, saving a lot of stress, being a young family of 5 in a current pandemic. Professional and approachable with quick responses. Emily went above and beyond to help us get what we wanted!

I needed a solicitors to recreate a set of title deeds and sell my parents property after they moved in their care home. Having made numerous calls to some of the 'big' names in Nottingham and searched online for 'specialist' solicitors no one wanted to deal with me or put me off as I was POA and told me it could take months if not years to sort the title deeds. I went through the address book and I contacted Rothera Bray who were fantastic from the word go. They fully understood what was required and the urgency, and from day one made me feel special and gave me the confidence that everything would be sorted as quickly as possible. It took just 2 months to have confirmation that the title had been accepted and therefore we were able to remarket the house and get this sold. From being told 12 months to get the tile deeds sorted it took Rothera Bray just 6 months including selling the property. I want to thank Kerry and Shelby for the patience they had in my many questions and for their swift replies to my many emails. These two are a credit to the profession and I can only speak in high regards. I will be using you guys again and will recommend anyone who requires a solicitors. Thank you so much.

Ellie and Michelle from the West Bridgford branch did a very good job on my house purchase. Very efficient and professional solicitors.

I recently used Rothera Bray for a house sale and had a very smooth, positive experience. They are far better than any other conveyancer I have used in the past. It's a real bonus having an office you can visit to deal with paperwork etc. Ellie went above and beyond, nothing was missed and she was very efficient. It felt like a personal service and I would instruct them again for any future conveyancing or legal matters.

I have used Rothera Bray for some 30 years. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Starting with Chris Carling, and more recently Ellie Robinson at the West Bridgford office. Ellie is foremost professional, kind and supportive. I recently used this company for a family matter that was most difficult to deal with, along with dealing with cancer. Ellie has made the whole situation easier for me to deal with, taking a big weight off my shoulders. Keeping me up-to-date and advising me on the best course of action. Ellie brought this horrible situation to a quick and satisfactory conclusion. I will always use Rothera Bray, you know what you're going to get. Reliable expert work and advice. I wish Ellie all the very best in her future and thank her for a job well done.
