What does Murcia Villas do?

Murcia Villas is the only company in the Costa Calida which offers its clients a 'one stop shop' for the purchase, management and letting of their property, with a dedicated lettings and management team and a fully qualified and registered maintenance team for all their clients property needs.

Owned by property experts, Hugh and Fiona James, the business has gone from strength to strength. 'We plan to take on a total of 12 franchisees in Spain so that we can place them in the best possible locations and give them an excellent level of care,' says Hugh.

Investment and commitment

The franchise, which costs just £16,000, includes all training, operations manual, legalities and marketing promotion. Individuals do need this capital up front to invest due to the franchise being based in Spain.

The franchise suits individuals looking to sell their property in the UK and use this capital for the franchise and new life in Spain. Other options include renting their UK property, offering a faster route to the sun. It suits those that want a new career where their hard work equals their reward and have a high standard of living in one of Europe's most enchanting countries.

Chris and Jane Whent, Murcia Villas La Torre franchisees

Chris previously worked for Natwest bank for 27 years before making the move to Murcia. Jane worked in payroll so they were both well equipped to recognise a profitable business model. They were both bored with their lifestyle in the UK. Chris was excited to embark on a less stressful lifestyle and Jane was ready to make a clean break.

Chris and Jane plan to run their franchise for at least five years, building their area into a profitable business that they can later sell on. 'This franchise has improved my life immeasurably,' says Chris. 'While we are working hard to build the business, I also have time for golf lessons, Spanish lessons and relaxing at the beach.'

Part of running the franchise includes sampling different restaurants in and around Murcia. 'Clients often ask us to recommend a good local restaurant,' says Jane. 'We eat out at least twice a week and go to a different restaurant each time to improve our knowledge of the area, plus it is great fun!'

Hugh at Murcia Villas is delighted to welcome Chris and Jane. 'Chris and Jane work well as a team. Teamwork is really important in building the business. Splitting tasks and activities ensures that more progress is made, this is the way that Fiona and I worked to build the business.'
