Forget everything you know about traditional sales & lettings franchises. This isn't just training and a logo. We're the only company in the country that will actually fund you to acquire businesses.
The UK's Only Lettings Franchise That Funds Business Acquisitions
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.
Built on Decades of Property Experience
Our founder, Steve Moss, has spent more than 20 years building businesses in the property industry. Earlier in his career, he grew his own letting agency to six offices across the North West before going on to build the UK's largest tenant eviction service.
Having built and scaled successful property businesses himself, Steve founded Sourced to give ambitious entrepreneurs a faster route into business ownership through expert support, proven systems and opportunities they simply wouldn't access alone.
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.
Real Partners. Real Growth.
Our Assisted Acquisitions Programme isn't just an idea; it's already helping Partners accelerate their businesses.
John acquired an established letting agency just 49 days after joining Sourced Living. The £450,000 acquisition, funded by Sourced, gave him 262 managed properties and an annual turnover of £293,000 from day one.
Dan used the Assisted Acquisitions Programme to acquire an established two-branch lettings agency, stepping into an existing business with live properties, landlord relationships and recurring income from day one.
Sara followed the Sourced blueprint to build her portfolio organically before preparing for her own funded acquisition as the next stage of her business growth.

Exciting double acquisition for Sourced Living’s newest franchisees!
Sourced Living is delighted that just weeks after completing their induction training two new franchisees have completed on the fully funded acquisition of two well-established independent agencies, with a combined total of almost 500 managed properties.
Dan Molkenthin and John Clark completed their induction training in February and were both immediately on the acquisition trail to buy established independent agencies. Thanks to the Sourced Living Assisted Acquisition Programme, Dan quickly completed on Crucible Homes, which has offices in Wickersley and Chapeltown and in the coming weeks will be rebranded to Sourced Living Rotherham. John Clark is the new owner of Nationwide Estate Agents in Adlington – destined to become Sourced Living Chorley.
“I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to Dan and John, who are both ambitious entrepreneurs with a passion for property, as well as having the commercial background and skills needed to ensure their acquisitions succeed,” says Sourced CEO and founder Stephen Moss.
“Sourced has developed a superb Assisted Acquisition Programme, which can provide full funding for property businesses that fit our investment criteria. Having access to full funding gives our franchisees a huge advantage and this is a very exciting time for the Sourced Living brand. I can confirm that we currently have an acquisition pipeline of approximately £10 million, which will ensure that more new and existing franchisees can take advantage of our successful business model and receive the necessary support for accelerated growth.”
John Clark, who prior to joining Sourced Living had a 30-year career in project management says: “My background provided me with a lot of transferrable skills to take on this acquisition. I’ve always been interested in property and have owned several rental properties abroad and in the UK, and I’m delighted that this acquisition opportunity came up so quickly. Nationwide Estate Agency is a very well-established business, with 270 fully managed properties, plus a team of three people, which includes the previous owner, who have all been very welcoming. We recently held an open day for landlords and tenants, and the response was incredibly positive.
“It’s great to be part of the Sourced Living franchise network, and to have completed on an acquisition at the same time as Dan. I have absolutely no regrets and would definitely recommend it as a great business opportunity.”
Dan Molkenthin, who has a background in recruitment and sales, says: “I’ve always had a passion for property, and had known of Sourced Living for some time. I knew the brand was doing well and decided that a franchise was a great opportunity for me to enjoy being a business owner, with all the support I needed to ensure compliance.
“Crucible Homes does estate agency and lettings, and currently has 212 properties under full management, so I’ve really hit the ground running! I’ve inherited a team of eight people, and I’m actively looking to recruit more.
“It’s amazing that this acquisition came to life so quickly. The level of support and belief behind the Assisted Acquisitions Programme really sets Sourced Living apart – there’s always someone on the end of the phone if I need them. It’s not just about starting a business; this is about accelerating ownership and growth from day one. We are looking forward to moving to new offices in a few weeks, when the business will rebrand to Sourced Living Rotherham.”
Sarah Byrne, Sourced Living Brand Manager, says: “Watching franchisees who only joined us in February, with no previous industry experience, now heading up their own agency through the power of acquisition, the support of the Sourced Living team and the power of franchising, is exactly why I believe so strongly in this model. In these particular cases the acquisitions were 100% funded, creating genuinely life-changing opportunities and showing what’s possible when strong commercial people are given the right platform and support.”
Having recently set up my Sourced Living franchise, I have been really pleased with the organisation and professionalism shown by the team. Adding a lettings platform to my existing property business really helps us progress as a business.
I appreciate the support that is always available—everyone is informative and genuinely helpful. Sourced fosters a positive environment where growth is encouraged! It’s been a great place to learn and feel supported in my career.
