SDL Property Partners has signed up four partners to its franchise network for block management.

SDL has welcomed Ainsworth Lord Estates, Jezzards, Medway Premier Block Management and Peter Morgan.

Ainsworth Lord Estates will be the first member of the SDL Property Partners network in the northwest. The estate agency featured on the Channel 5 documentary ‘Nightmare Tenants, Slum Landlords’, offering expert advice on the more challenging aspects of the property industry.

Chris Summers, head of franchising at SDL Group, said: “We offer flexible branding options which means that estate agency businesses can easily plug into the SDL back office and take advantage of our block management expertise and training programme.

“For those starting out fresh in the block management industry such as Peter Morgan, the co-branding with SDL Property Management helps to get you up and running as quickly as possible.

“We build our training programme around our partners, so whether they need more support with the technical aspects of block management or winning new business, we are here to help.

“All our new partners have successful businesses and are well aligned with the SDL Group values. We’re looking forward to helping them succeed in block management and welcoming more partners from across the property industry very soon.”
