Selling your letting agency can open doors to new opportunities and provide freedom from the demands of day-to-day operations. Here’s how selling can benefit you...
Gain back your time and flexibility by stepping away from the responsibilities of running an agency.
Selling allows you to focus on your next venture, whether it's a new business, a passion project, or simply enjoying more personal time.
The pressures of managing clients, tenants, and properties can be intense. Selling offers a chance to relieve yourself of these stresses and embrace a smoother path forward.
Unlike large corporate buyers, we are a local team that understands the unique qualities of the North Essex and South Suffolk areas. Selling to a local agent like us offers several advantages over large corporations, known for their aggressive retention strategies, meaning many sellers do not achieve final payments.
Personalised Approach: We value every client, tenant, and property, treating your portfolio with the same care you’ve built it with.
Sell Fast: By selling to an independent buyer, many sales can go through within 6 weeks.
Easier Diligence: Less strict criteria
Seamless Transition: We work closely with you to ensure a smooth, hassle-free handover that respects your relationships with clients and tenants.
Community-Focused: As a local buyer, we’re invested in the area and care about the community. Your clients won’t experience the “big corporate” treatment; they’ll get the same quality of service they've come to expect.
Less Risk of Retention Tactics: Large corporates are known for deploying extensive retention strategies that can create disruption. We’re here to make things as easy and comfortable as possible for you and your clients.

We’re focused on acquiring Letting Agency businesses with property management portfolios.
No need to worry about revenue, profit, staffing, or trading time – we're solely interested in the portfolio itself but happy to buy the business.
Market conditions are favourable for agency owners looking to transition. Whether you’re planning your next venture, approaching retirement, or simply ready for a new chapter, we’re here to offer a seamless, quick, and straightforward acquisition process.
Our primary focus is on portfolios located in Essex and Suffolk, but not restricted to these areas. If your agency falls within these regions, we’d love to discuss further.
We take great pride in our heritage at Boydens, a company founded by Desmond Boyden in 1966. Over the decades, we have grown and evolved, staying true to the principles that have guided us from the start.
Now under the leadership of Desmond's grandson, Philip Boyden, as Managing Director, we continue to embrace the values that define us. Next year marks a significant milestone as David Boyden, Desmond’s son and our current Chairman, celebrates 50 years with the company. His dedication and commitment to fostering our ethos of exceptional client care remain central to everything we do.
Although we are a well-established firm, we are committed to modernising and expanding to meet the evolving needs of our clients. This commitment is reflected in initiatives such as our quarterly landlord webinars, which provide valuable insights to our clients.

Our dedication to excellence has also been recognised nationally, most notably with our recent achievement of the National Medium-Sized Lettings Agency of the Year 2024 award from The Negotiator Awards. This accolade reflects our drive to grow and demonstrate our expertise in the industry.

This course is designed for those who are new or brand new to estate agencies, for those looking for an update or to see the AR “add-ons” that may be possible to an existing Estate Agency, or those looking for a better-combined experience between sales and lettings and acquisition departments to get them all communicating.
I would include anyone involved in or about to be involved in the Estate Agency side of the business, who needs to make sure that all the processes are optimised and operating fully, level staff, managers or branch managers could all benefit from this day if they are new to property sales etc, or are seeking new ideas or ways to generate leads and convert into business. (or add additional services)
Ali is a former branch owner, a current operator and a director and has over 13 years of experience in the Estate Agency business and prides himself on his quality of service to the client, maintaining high-level fees and delivering on the back end (but also with a modern twist of being at the forefront of adopting funnels and lead conversion on a huge scale)
Ali’s branch is generating over 300 leads per month, and from one funnel alone generated 38 instructions in just 6 weeks for sales, this comes after creating a sales team, with call setters and closers to optimise results, but he also offers many additional services to add value and profit.
In the last 3 years, Ali has worked hard to merge sales lettings and acquisitions for the benefit of the business, and therefore we can now see the differences from both sides.
In the last year, Ali has added over 100k additional revenue to the business through optimisation (quite a task for a 34-year-old business).
He runs a highly optimised branch offering lettings, sales, off-market sales and helping landlords with property investment too, and will be sharing all on this, live for this first-ever 2-day event .
