Can't post the url but just search for their name on Google. Best money I ever spent. If anyone want some advice on setting up an agency, they are welcome to pm me. Good luck!

Sorry to butt in in the forum but I am after some advice regards to the potential purchase of the "Southcourt Property" letting package. My worry is that I will spend out £595 and recieve nothing but a binder full of photocopied A4 sheets and a drab website.
Are you able to offer any re-assurance at all? Also is it something I can start around my current job; And how easy/soon can this business be started by someone of whom has no prior experience?Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks Hufty!
