Build a Lettings Business Designed for Today’s Rental Market
Sourced Living gives you more ways to grow than a traditional high-street letting agency. Through our Flexi-Let model, you can offer traditional lettings alongside mid-term accommodation, serviced accommodation and HMOs.
You can build your portfolio organically or, unlike a traditional franchise, Sourced can fund the purchase of an established lettings or estate agency for you to take over and grow.
No previous lettings experience is required. You bring the ambition; we provide the platform, systems and support.
More Ways to Let. More Ways to Grow.
Traditional high-street agents often rely on one model: finding a tenant and managing a standard long-term tenancy.
Sourced Living Partners can offer more.
Our Flexi-Let model allows you to meet a wider range of landlord and tenant needs through:
- Traditional residential lettings
- Mid-term accommodation
- Serviced accommodation
- HMOs
- Property sales
Start from Scratch or Step into an Established Business
Most new business owners spend years building their customer base and recurring income.
With Sourced Living, you can launch organically using the Flexi-Let model or step straight into an established agency through our Assisted Acquisitions Programme.
Sourced can fund the purchase of an approved lettings or estate agency for you to take over and grow.
That could mean managed properties, landlord relationships, recurring revenue, an established local presence and even an experienced team already in place.
Build organically. Acquire an existing business. Or combine both routes to grow faster.
Real Businesses. Real Results.
John completed a £450,000 agency acquisition just 49 days after joining Sourced Living. Funded by Sourced, the business included 262 managed properties and £293,000 in annual turnover.
Dan acquired an established two-branch agency with around 200 managed properties, an existing team and approximately £150,000 in annual management income.
Sara built her business organically, generating £40,000 in turnover during her first nine months before preparing for a funded acquisition.
These are real Sourced Living Partners using different routes to build valuable property businesses.
Built on Real Property Experience
Founder Steve Moss built his own lettings agency from the ground up, growing it to six offices before selling it in 2008.
He later founded Sourced to give other entrepreneurs access to the backing, systems and opportunities that can be difficult to create alone.
Today, Sourced combines property expertise, funding, technology and professional support with a nationwide network of more than 250 Partners.
You are building your own business, but you are not building it alone.
More Than Training and a Logo
Starting independently can mean paying thousands of pounds for technology, accounting, compliance, marketing and professional support before winning your first landlord.
With Sourced Living, much of that infrastructure is already in place.
Your franchise package includes:
- A bespoke lettings CRM
- Access to platforms including Rightmove, Airbnb and PayProp
- Accounting and bookkeeping support
- Compliance guidance and legal documentation
- Marketing support and your own branded web presence
- A protected operating territory
- A four-day induction and structured launch plan
- Ongoing business development support
- Access to the Assisted Acquisitions Programme
- Support from the wider Sourced Partner network
An Accredited Franchise Opportunity
Sourced Living is an accredited member of the British Franchise Association, providing independent confidence in the strength of the franchise model, systems and support.
No previous lettings experience is required, but this is an active business opportunity. Successful Partners are commercially minded, prepared to build relationships and serious about developing a valuable long-term business.
Your Opportunity
The initial investment is £9,999 + VAT, followed by a monthly licence fee.
With Sourced Living, you are not simply buying a training course or operating licence.
You are gaining the opportunity to build a modern, flexible lettings business, create recurring income and potentially take over an established agency with Sourced funding the purchase.
Our success depends on your success. So we go all in on helping you achieve.
Build it. Acquire it. Grow it.

Sourced acquires Open House and 104 estate agencies
Sourced has added a third franchise network to their growing property group with the latest acquisition
Warrington-headquartered property group Sourced has acquired Open House Estate Agents, adding 104 franchisees to its already 230+ strong network. The deal brings an established estate agency and auctions operation into the Group for the first time, connecting Sourced's existing investment, finance, lettings and management businesses into full property-lifecycle coverage.
The acquisition brings an established estate agency and auctions operation into the wider Sourced Group, alongside its existing property investment, finance, lettings and property management businesses.
Open House will continue to operate under its own brand, with the focus now on bringing the strengths of both networks together to create new opportunities for franchisees and clients.
Despite growing independently, Sourced and Open House have built their businesses around a similar model: local business owners backed by the infrastructure of a national network.
Across both networks, franchisees have the autonomy to build businesses suited to their local markets while benefiting from established brands, technology, systems, support and nationwide opportunities.
Stephen Moss, founder of Sourced, said:
“What stood out to us about Open House was how closely the business aligned with our own. We didn't have to convince them to think like us because, in many ways, they already did.
“Both networks are built around ambitious local business owners, backed by the systems, technology and opportunities of a national organisation. Bringing those networks together creates huge potential for everyone involved.
“Open House brings established estate agency and auctions expertise into the Group, while we can open up our wider property network, technology and acquisitions programme to another 104 franchisees. We're not looking to change what makes Open House successful. We want to build on it.”
For Open House franchisees, the acquisition will provide access to Sourced's wider infrastructure and its fully funded acquisitions programme, designed to help franchisees acquire established lettings agencies and managed property portfolios to accelerate growth.
For Sourced, Open House strengthens its offering across the property lifecycle, connecting property investment, finance, lettings and management with estate agency and auctions.
The deal also brings together two Warrington-headquartered businesses that have independently grown nationwide property networks from the North West.
Open House will retain its existing identity, with greater collaboration between the networks planned as the businesses move into their next phase of growth.
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.
