Sourced Living

A Smarter Alternative to Buying a Lettings Business

If you’re exploring businesses for sale in the property sector, there’s another route worth serious consideration.

Sourced Living is the only property franchise in the UK that funds you to acquire an established lettings or sales agency.

Instead of tying up capital buying a resale outright, we provide the funding while you operate and grow the business under a credible national brand.

This is ownership with momentum, not starting from scratch.

Funded Acquisitions: How it Works

Traditional buyers use their own capital to purchase a business and take on all the risk from day one.

Sourced Living does it differently.

Through our fully funded acquisitions programme, we support you in taking over an existing, income-producing lettings and sales agency — complete with live properties, landlord relationships and recurring revenue.

We fund the acquisition. You run and scale the business.

Why Entrepreneurs Choose Sourced Living

• Fully funded acquisitions – we cover the purchase cost; you operate the business.
• Flexi-Let model creating multiple income streams beyond traditional lettings.
• Step-by-step business blueprint designed for scalable growth.

Technology That Replaces Overheads

You’ll operate using a bespoke CRM integrated with Rightmove, PayProp, Fixfloand Airbnb, alongside built-in accounting tools that can save thousands compared to running systems separately.

You also receive:

• Your own website landing page on our national platform
• Essential compliance documents and legal templates

What Makes This Different from Buying a Business Outright

• Large upfront capital
• Personal financial exposure

Sourced Living removes those barriers by combining:

• Acquisition funding

• Ongoing operational support

The result is a faster route to ownership with reduced upfront risk.

"Sourced has been a strong, steady partner; with a credible brand, clear compliance support and practical training, backed by dedicated staff that help you grow faster. It isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme, but if you put in the work and the time, it genuinely accelerates your growth."

The rental market is moving. Opportunities are there. Question is: are you ready to stop watching other people build wealth and start building your own?

Your Next Move

Most franchises expect you to fund everything yourself. Most business resales tie up capital before you even begin. Sourced Living does neither.

We fund acquisitions because we back our Partners properly, and because ownership shouldn’t be limited to those with the deepest pockets.

The rental market is moving.

This is your opportunity to move with it.

FAQ

What is a lettings franchise?

A lettings franchise in the UK allows individuals to run a property management business under an established brand. With Sourced Living, partners build a portfolio of managed properties, generating recurring monthly income through lettings and management services.

How do Sourced Living Partners make money?

Sourced Living Partners earn income through management fees on rental properties, as well as additional services such as HMOs and short-term lets. This creates consistent, recurring revenue as the property portfolio grows, and it's a business that will be worth a lot if you go on to sell.

What is the Sourced Living funded acquisition model?

Sourced Living offers a funded acquisition model where partners can step into an existing lettings business within their territory. This means acquiring a portfolio of properties, revenue, and clients from day one, without needing to build everything from scratch.

Do I need experience in lettings or property management?

No, Sourced Living is designed for individuals without prior lettings experience. Partners receive training, systems, and ongoing support to manage properties, landlords, and tenants effectively.

What is the Flexi-Let model?

The Flexi-Let model allows Sourced Living Partners to generate income across multiple strategies, including traditional lettings, HMOs, and short-term accommodation. This creates a more flexible and resilient lettings business that helps you stand out from competition.

How long does it take to build a portfolio?

This depends on the route taken. Partners building organically will grow their portfolio over time, while those using the funded acquisition model can step into an established portfolio immediately and scale from there.

What support do Sourced Living Partners receive?

Sourced Living Partners receive ongoing support including training, operational systems, marketing tools, and access to a wider network. The model is designed to help Partners build a scalable lettings business with recurring income.
