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.

Sourced commits at least £10m to create the next generation of agency owners
The property group is combining acquisition funding with its franchise model to help ambitious operators step into established estate and letting businesses.
Sourced is planning to invest at least a further £10 million in established estate and letting agencies, creating new opportunities for franchisees to take ownership of businesses with teams, clients and revenue already in place.
The Warrington-based property group has completed four acquisitions this year, including national estate agency network Open House, and has around eight further acquisitions progressing through its pipeline. The majority are expected to complete before the end of 2026.
Through Sourced Living’s Assisted Acquisitions Programme, suitable franchisees can receive funding of up to 100% of an agreed agency purchase price, subject to due diligence and approval.
Franchisees receive training, acquisition guidance, business systems and ongoing support to help them prepare for ownership and grow the business following completion.
Sourced says some agency owners are bringing forward their succession plans as they consider the investment required to keep pace with new technology, artificial intelligence and increasing regulation.
Stephen Moss, CEO of Sourced, said: “AI is now coming up regularly in our conversations with agency owners. Some see it as an exciting opportunity, while others are questioning whether they want to spend the next five or ten years investing in new systems and changing the way their business operates.
“These are often successful, profitable agencies. The owner has simply decided they do not want to lead the business through its next period of technological change. Our model creates an opportunity for a new, ambitious operator to take that business forward with the funding, systems and support behind them.
“Most franchise models help someone start a new business. We can also help the right person step into an established one.
“There are successful agency owners looking for a credible succession route and ambitious operators capable of taking those businesses forward. Our model brings the two together.
“We can provide the acquisition funding and experience, while the franchisee becomes responsible for leading and growing the business locally. It gives them the opportunity to step into existing revenue, an experienced team and established client relationships without having to fund the full purchase personally.”
The model has already supported significant business growth within the Sourced network.
In Devon, Sourced Living Partner Sara Watkins-Schmidt acquired Complete Estate Agency, adding four branches, 23 employees and 375 managed properties to her business. Her managed portfolio increased from 33 to 408 properties following the acquisition.
Stephen continued: “Franchise candidates increasingly want more than a brand and a training manual. They want a credible route to revenue, evidence that the model works and practical support when substantial opportunities arise.
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.
