Services
Property sourcing, run by a landlord.
Finding the house is the job. We look at residential stock, appraise it the way a landlord holding it for fifteen years would, buy it, and put it in front of investors who want buy-to-let without running the search themselves.
What sourcing actually covers
Everything between your brief and your completion.
Sourcing is not sending you portal links. It is knowing which streets let quickly, which houses hide a five-figure problem, and being ready to move when the right one appears.
- 01
Brief and buying criteria
We start with your capital, your target yield, whether you are buying in cash or with a mortgage, and how much refurbishment you will tolerate. That brief stays on file so we can call you the day something fits.
- 02
Off-market and on-market search
Estate agent relationships, local landlords selling up, probate and tired stock, plus the ordinary market watched properly. Most good Lancashire deals are ordinary houses bought at a sensible number, not exotic ones.
- 03
Deal appraisal
Comparable sold prices, achievable rent, gross and net yield, likely works, and the obvious risk factors: roof, damp, subsidence, tenure, parking, tenant demand on that street.
- 04
Viewing and verification
We view in person. You get photographs, honest notes on condition and an assessment of what the house needs before a tenant moves in — not a set of wide-angle marketing shots.
- 05
Negotiation and purchase
We negotiate on the numbers, not the asking price. We buy houses to sell on to BTL investors, so the purchase side is handled and you are not chasing an agent every week.
- 06
Handover to you
You receive the house with the paperwork in order and the works schedule spelled out, ready to refurbish, let and hold. We are on the end of the phone afterwards.
Who this is for
Investors who want the deal, not the legwork.
First buy-to-let purchase
You have the deposit and want to buy something sound rather than something exciting. We keep the first one boring on purpose.
Out-of-area investors
Southern and overseas buyers who like northern yields but cannot spend Saturdays viewing terraces in Lancashire. We are the eyes on the ground.
Landlords adding units
Existing portfolios that want one to four more houses a year without the search time. Standing brief, deals as they surface.
Cash buyers
Where speed is the advantage, a cash position turns into a better purchase price. We shape the offer around that.
Mortgage-backed buyers
We keep purchase prices and condition within what a BTL lender will actually value and lend against.
Investors selling up elsewhere
Recycling capital out of a low-yielding property into Lancashire stock that pays better per pound invested.
