Be a more successful property investor
Every investor has their own motivation for putting money into property:
Increase their income
Boost their pension
Grow children's inheritance
Retire early and enjoy life
But while many have the means and motivation, they often don’t have the time to source investment, arrange renovations where needed, find tenants and manage the property.
If that’s you, we can help – all you need to do is sit back and relax!

Investment property sourcing FAQs
Have more questions? Speak to our team.
Yes, we operate a full lettings and management service for our clients that takes care of the whole process. We can also manage other properties you may have as well that you haven't sourced through us.
Yes, we can source deals that are below market value. However, we always advise our investors not to focus on this point.
We have seen investors lose out on deals in the past because it wasn't 'Below Market Value', even though it would have been a great deal for them if they had focussed on the bigger picture. There’s more to a successful long-term investment than just securing a small discount at the beginning of the process.
Yes, we can source flats/apartments if the client wants them. However we seldom see them stacking up as good investments financially, similarly to new builds.
If that is what you are looking for though, we will make sure to take into account any service charges and grounds rents which may apply.
We will source whatever the client is looking for. However, we tend not to search for new builds as a lot of the time they don't stack up financially for our investors’ needs.
We search the whole of the market to find properties for our clients. That includes online platforms such as Rightmove and Zoopla, contacting estate agents directly, and working with other property sourcers and property developers.
We also find properties from vendors who come to us directly. In that scenario, we always ensure they're aware that you're our client and not them. Sometimes they're happy with that and just want a quick sale, and sometimes they're not so we recommend one of our local estate agents to look after them.
There is no exact answer to this question. It could take a week, a month, or even a year. It completely depends on the type of property you're looking for and the market at the time you're looking. We have usually found your first property within the first month with previous clients, though.
While we can source any type of property within reason, our main focuses are buy to let properties, small HMOs and small developments and conversions.
Many people want to invest in property but don’t have the time, knowledge or proximity to dedicate to getting it right.
A good property sourcer will take care of the whole time consuming process for you – finding suitable properties, arranging viewings, undertaking the paperwork, introducing you to professionals who can provide the services you need, and then managing the ongoing lettings process.
Working with a property sourcers means you can invest in property properly, and with minimal hassle and time.
