Property Franchise Opportunity in Carlisle with ROOMS®
Build Your Property Business in Carlisle
If you’re considering starting a property business in Carlisle, this could be the ideal way in. With ROOMS®, you don’t need to buy houses or deal with complicated startup steps. Instead, you’ll manage shared homes across the Carlisle area, using a simple model that’s already working in other towns and cities.
Everything is set up for you, from how to find landlords to how to keep tenants happy. It’s a practical way to grow your own business in a part of the market that’s expanding quickly.
Why Shared Accommodation?
More people are living in shared homes than ever before. Some are students, others are professionals or people moving for work. They want good places to live that are well-run and reasonably priced. Landlords like shared housing too, because it can bring in more income than traditional lets. The challenge is keeping everything running smoothly, and that’s where you come in.
In the last five years, the number of licensed HMOs in England and Wales has increased by over 25 per cent. Councils issued more than 27,000 licences in 2023 alone.
This growth isn’t slowing down. Shared accommodation is becoming a normal part of the housing market, and Carlisle is no exception. With the right setup, you can build a business that serves a real need and brings in consistent income.
