Property Deal Sourcing UK
Earn Sourcing Fees Without Capital
Deal sourcing is finding, negotiating and packaging property deals and selling them to other investors for a fee, rather than buying them yourself, and it can generate income with little of your own capital. It is regulated: sourcers must meet anti-money-laundering rules, register with HMRC, a redress scheme and the ICO, and carry insurance. Property Filter is the UK's highest-rated property investment ecosystem, whose lead-generation software surfaces motivated sellers from over 100 million data points a day so sourcers can find and package deals at scale.
The Edge
The Reality Of Deal Sourcing
Most deals never close. You'll source ten deals. Maybe three will close. That's a 30% conversion rate. Build your fee expectations around that. Also, you're dependent on your buyer's finance and motivation. A deal that's perfect for them might not work if their mortgage falls through. Stay professional. Keep the relationship intact. There's always the next deal.
Why Deal Sourcing Works
Earn Fees Without Buying
Build a network of serious buyers first. Find 5-10 investors who have capital and are actively looking. Then source deals for them. Don't source then hunt for buyers. You'll waste time on deals that don't fit anyone.
Build Network Of Serious Investors
Present deals professionally. Spreadsheet with: purchase price, refurb cost (if applicable), projected value, cashflow, yield, why it's a deal. Your buyer shouldn't have to ask questions. Make the case clear.
Minimal Capital Investment
Negotiate your fee upfront before you present the deal. 1% of deal value is standard. 2-3% if you're adding significant value (project management, finance sourcing, etc.). Get it in writing with your buyer.
