UK property sourcing

Investment property,
sourced to your specification.

Tell us exactly what you buy. We find it, check it against the national registers, price the works and the exit properly, and bring you only what clears your terms.

No fee to set a buy box · Written terms before you are committedYou buy in your own name — we never hold your money

What we do

A sourcing desk that does the work you would do yourself, if you had the time.

Most sourcers forward you a listing with a yield on it. We buy nothing, hold nothing and sell nothing of our own — our only job is to put a small number of properly examined properties in front of you, and to say so plainly when there are none.

01

We find it

We work the channels most investors never see: unsold auction lots available by private treaty, receivership and probate stock, and independent agents who list days before the portals.

02

We check it

Flood, conservation area, Article 4, licensing, planning history, tenure and title — checked against the national registers before a property is ever put to you, not after.

03

We price it

A full appraisal: what it costs to buy, what the works actually cost from a read of the plan and the photographs, what it finances at, and what it returns. Pessimistic case included.

04

We introduce it

You get the property, the numbers, the risks we found and the ones we could not settle. You decide. We never hold your money and we never buy alongside you.

How it works

Four steps, and the first one takes six minutes.

  1. 01You set your buy boxCapital, structure, strategy, geography, the return you need and the things you will not touch. Six minutes, no fee, no obligation.
  2. 02We confirm it is buyableA short call. Sometimes a buy box needs one number moved before anything can clear it, and it is better to know that at the start than after three months of silence.
  3. 03We source and underwriteWe look at a great many properties so that you look at very few. Anything failing a gate is dropped rather than passed on with a caveat.
  4. 04You get a complete packThe property, the appraisal, the register checks, the legal-pack flags and the exit. Written terms are agreed before any of this, so you always know what an introduction costs.

We look at a great many properties so that you look at very few.

What we source

Four routes. Each judged against its own market, never a blended average.

A Victorian house interior stripped for conversion

HMO and room lets

Conversions where the licensing, Article 4 position and room sizes actually permit it. A room under 10.22 square metres is a single, and we price it as one.

A disused Victorian corner commercial building with flats above

Commercial to residential

Class MA and upper-floor conversions, priced on build cost per square metre and the VAT position — the two things that decide whether the margin exists at all.

Refurbish and refinance

Priced on the exit valuation rather than the works budget, with the pessimistic case assuming the refinance comes in short.

Land and development

Sites screened against every planning constraint we can reach. We will tell you plainly when a clean screen still is not a developable site.

How we operate

Four rules we will not break for a fee.

We check the registers, not the advert

A listing discloses what attracts a bidder and omits what deters one. Ours is the opposite job.

A person signs off every introduction

Nothing reaches you automatically. The filter is simple: would we buy this ourselves, at this price?

We would rather send you nothing

A quiet month is not a failure. Sending you a deal that does not clear your own terms would be.

You know the fee before you know the address

Written terms, agreed before we start. Required by law, and the right way round in any case.

Why the checking matters

A clean listing is not a clean property.

Three things we measured against our own stock, because they are the reason this work exists at all.

18 of 25

known deal breakers went unmentioned

Across 950 real auction listings we tested. Not knotweed, not flood risk, not a regulated tenancy. A clean listing is not evidence of a clean property.

12%

of checked lots sat in a flood zone

Not one listing mentioned flooding. It matters because Flood Re excludes buy-to-let entirely, so a landlord buys cover at open-market rates or not at all.

1 in 3

commercial conversions are refused

Class MA is refused 32.4% of the time. Permitted development is not permission, and any appraisal that assumes consent is a hope rather than a plan.

Standing

We take no fee from anyone until all four of these are in place.

Introducing property to a buyer is estate agency work under the Estate Agents Act 1979. That brings real obligations, and we publish the live status of each rather than implying they are done.

Fees and terms of business

Straight answers

The questions investors actually ask first.

What does it cost?

Nothing to set a buy box, and nothing to talk to us. Where we introduce a property to you, the fee and the point at which it becomes payable are agreed in writing before we start work — that is a legal requirement under the Estate Agents Act 1979 and it is the only sensible way to do it. There is no retainer and no charge for access to a list.

Do you buy alongside your clients?

Not in the same deal. Where we hold any personal interest in a property, we disclose it to you in writing before you are committed, as the Act requires.

How many properties will I see?

Fewer than you expect, which is the point. We would rather send nothing in a month than send something that does not clear your own stated terms. If your buy box is too tight to fill, we will tell you which number is doing it.

Do you handle the purchase?

No. You buy in your own name or your own structure, with your own solicitor and your own lender. We never hold your money. Title, tenure and the contents of the legal pack are for your conveyancer — several of the things we treat as fatal are only ever visible in a legal pack.

Where do you source?

Nationally, though our evidence is deepest in Greater Liverpool, Teesside and the Black Country. If you tell us you buy somewhere we cannot yet rank a return against a local market honestly, we will say so rather than guess.

Are you regulated?

Introducing property to a buyer is estate agency work under the Estate Agents Act 1979. That brings HMRC anti-money-laundering supervision, membership of an approved redress scheme, ICO registration and professional indemnity cover. We do not take a fee from anyone until all four are in place, and the live status of each is published on our fees page.
