Sourced, a property investment franchise network with more than 230 partners nationwide, has unveiled plans to accelerate its expansion by becoming the UK’s first franchisor to offer full funding for partners acquiring existing lettings agencies.
The Warrington-based company, founded in 2017, said the move comes as the lettings sector continues to grow strongly.
Research suggests that demand in the rental market will extend into 2026 and beyond, providing opportunities for new entrants and established players.
Steve Moss (main picture), Chief Executive of Sourced, says: “The lettings market has been booming throughout 2025, and research shows that this will continue into 2026 and beyond.”
ACQUISITION TEAM
And he adds: “We have put together a highly experienced and very professional Acquisition Team at Sourced, who have been working hard to identify and apply due diligence to some incredible opportunities for our partners.
“As a result, for anyone who is considering entering the lettings market by taking on an established business, the timing just could not be better. We have such confidence in our business strategy and our highly valued business partners, that we are now the UK’s first franchisor to offer 100% funding for viable acquisition opportunities.”
Moss believes that acquiring an established lettings agency is the best way to hit the ground running in business, and with the admin support, training and funding that Sourced provides, they are ‘systematically stripping away any barriers to success’.
LOW FRANCHISE FEES
He says: “Our business partners don’t have to worry about providing security for their loan or paying commission or set-up fees. The franchise fee has also been kept very low and is built into the cash flow of the business at the point of sale. It is also repayable over five years, which makes the whole process affordable and straightforward, and helps to facilitate recurring revenue from day one of trading.”
Sourced hosted a Discovery Day at the Hilton Hotel in London on 18th September, to provide information on its partner packages – designed to provide the technology, training, support and leads to grow a successful property investment business or build a letting agency with uncapped income potential.
The company pointed to the example of Jason Kay, a Hull-based partner who acquired a portfolio of 250 rental units through Sourced’s acquisition model. Kay has since expanded the portfolio and now runs what is described as the area’s leading HMO lettings agency.
