Knight Partnership

What Knight Partnership does

Knight Partnership is a traditional UK estate and letting agency operating as a trading name of Sequence (UK) Limited, a private subsidiary of the Connells Group. Founded in 1991 in Stamford, Lincolnshire, the business serves residential property buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants across five counties (Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Rutland) from its office at 3 Red Lion Street, Stamford. Through its parent network, Knight Partnership can reach buyers across the UK via the Sequence national network of 320+ branches under 12+ trading names including Allen & Harris, Barnard Marcus, Fox & Sons, and William H Brown.

The company's core offering is built on a standard estate agency property listing and management platform with integrations to the three major UK property portals (Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket), supplemented by a 24/7 MyAccount self-service portal for saved searches and alerts. Core products include residential property sales, lettings (with Find Tenant only, Rent Collection, and Fully Managed tiers), and property search services. Adjacent services span mortgage advisory, conveyancing, insurance and protection, surveys and valuations, traditional and modern method auctions, land services, new homes, shared ownership, corporate lettings, and portfolio management. Technology is a commodity, third-party-built platform (Homeflow CMS) without proprietary AI/ML capabilities, API products, or mobile apps.

Knight Partnership generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) transaction-based commissions on residential property sales, (2) recurring monthly fees for managed lettings services (with tiered pricing for Find Tenant only, Rent Collection, and Fully Managed), and (3) professional services fees and referrals for mortgages, conveyancing, insurance, surveys, and wills. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via local branch offices, supported by digital channels (property portals, content marketing, social media). The customer segmentation is horizontal, with primary segments of individual property buyers/sellers and landlords, plus secondary segments of corporate landlords and property investors/developers. The agency operates under Sequence (UK) Limited's FCA regulation (FRN 302221), ARLA Propertymark membership, and The Property Ombudsman scheme membership.
