For agency owners
Years of work deserve a careful next step.
Whether you are planning succession, considering a sale or want to understand your options, we start with a private conversation, in confidence.
You’ll speak to Jack WilsonFounder & MD, All North Group
An agency is built one valuation, one landlord and one hire at a time. We understand that because we have done it ourselves, and we treat a sale with the same care.
All North Group was set up by people who have run an estate agency. We know what it takes to win instructions in a competitive town, keep good staff and stay on the right side of compliance.
That shapes how we approach every owner: straight answers, a clear process and no pressure to move faster than you want to.
Who we can help
Owners and agencies we may be a fit for.
If some of this sounds like you, it is worth a conversation. If it doesn’t, we’ll say so, and point you somewhere more useful if we can.

Our acquisition approach
What we keep, and what we help improve.
We buy agencies because they already work. The aim is to protect what customers value and take on the work that holds the business back.
What we seek to preserve
What we help improve
Specific commitments on branding, staffing, deal structure and your own involvement are agreed with each owner and written into the terms of the deal.
The process
From first conversation to completion.
Every sale is different, but the steps are broadly the same. Here is how it typically runs. Timings and detail are agreed with each owner.
- 01
A private conversation
An informal, confidential discussion with Jack about your plans and what you want for the business.
You’ll need: nothing but time for a call or coffee. - 02
Getting to know the business
We visit, meet you properly and learn how the agency runs day to day.
You’ll need: a broad overview, shared under a confidentiality agreement. - 03
An indicative proposal
A written outline of value, structure and what happens to the brand, people and your role.
You’ll need: summary accounts and key figures. - 04
Due diligence
Our advisers review the detail with yours. We keep this proportionate and explain each request.
You’ll need: financial, legal and compliance records. - 05
Completion
Contracts are signed and we agree together how and when your team and customers are told.
You’ll need: your solicitor and accountant. - 06
Support after completion
The joint plan begins. Central support is introduced in stages with regular reviews.
You’ll need: an open line with the group team.
After completion
The support that follows.
Joining the group is the start of the work, not the end of it. Support is introduced in stages, agreed with the local team.
A Plan
An agreed plan for the first year: priorities, timings and who is responsible for each change.
Central Support
Marketing, finance and systems support from the group, introduced where it helps first.
Clear Reporting
Regular figures on sales, lettings and costs, reviewed together so problems surface early.
Direct Access
A direct line to each main contact, rather than a central inbox.
Your Role, Agreed
Whether you stay involved, step back gradually or hand over fully is agreed with you up front.
Room to Grow
Access to new homes partnerships and group marketing that a single branch would find hard to fund.

Questions and answers
What owners ask us first.
If your question isn’t here, ask it in the form below or call Jack on 01246 903447.
Yes. Every conversation starts privately, and we sign a confidentiality agreement before any detail is shared. Acquisition enquiries go to Jack, not to branch inboxes.
Our approach is to keep the names customers already trust. What happens to your brand is agreed with you and written into the terms.
We buy agencies for their people as much as their books. Our intention is to keep the team together. Any plans for staff are discussed openly with you during the process.
That depends on what you want. Some owners stay involved for a period; others step back sooner. Your role after a sale is discussed and agreed with you.
Each deal is different. We set out the proposed structure in writing in the indicative proposal, so you can review it with your advisers.
It varies with the size of the business and how quickly information is available. We give you a realistic timetable early on.
In confidence
A quiet conversation about what’s next.
