The UK rental market continues to expand, with demand outpacing supply across most regions. For the right franchise owner, that creates a rare opportunity: predictable income, long-term growth and a business model that performs in any market cycle.
Sourced Living is a national lettings franchise designed to help you build a scalable property business, faster and with less risk than going it alone.
We do this through three core advantages:
Hands-on support
access to our funded acquisitions programme
And Flexi-Let model.
What Makes Sourced Living Different
Sourced Living is built for people who want more than a logo and a manual. We give you the structure, support and commercial tools to grow a lettings business properly.
Three things set us apart:
Hands-on support
A proven launch and growth blueprint, a dedicated Business Development Manager, ongoing training and access to a nationwide network of 250+ Partners.
Funded acquisitions
Once established, we offer up to 100% funding to help you acquire an existing lettings business, giving you the opportunity to rapidly scale without tying up large amounts of personal capital.
The Flexi-Let model
Operate across single lets, HMOs and short-term accommodation, giving you multiple income streams and access to tenant demand most high-street agents can’t service.
What’s Included in Your Franchise
A proven business blueprint from launch to scale
Fully funded acquisition opportunities
Built-in accounting and compliance tools
Essential legal documents and templates
Your own landing page on the national Sourced platform
Protected territory with no internal competition
Your franchise fee also covers the core systems and subscriptions needed to run a professional lettings business.
That includes access to our bespoke CRM and industry-leading platforms like Rightmove, Airbnb, PayProp and Fixflo, tools that would typically cost £500+ per month if sourced independently.
Everything is integrated into one platform, removing the need to juggle multiple suppliers, subscriptions and contracts, reducing overheads, saving time and supporting growth.
Real Partners. Real Progress.
John – 262 Units, £293,000 Yearly Turnover
John joined Sourced with no experience, but just 49 days after completing induction, he stepped into an established letting agency. Worth £450,000 and fully funded by Sourced, the acquisition came with 262 units and a turnover of £293,000 — a fully operational business from day one.
Sara – £40k Turnover in 9 Months
With no previous lettings experience, Sara followed the Sourced blueprint, completed funded training and built a growing portfolio from scratch. She’s now managing 22 properties and preparing for her first acquisition.
Their results come from structure, support and execution, not luck.

The Sourced Living Difference
Most lettings franchises rely on organic growth alone, and most expect you to fund every stage yourself. Sourced Living does it differently by combining support, flexibility and funding your growth.
Don’t Miss Out
If you’re ready to build a modern lettings business with genuine scale potential, Sourced Living offers the structure to do exactly that. But, opportunities are territory-based and limited to ensure the right level of support and opportunity.
A lettings franchise in the UK allows individuals to run a property management business under an established brand. With Sourced Living, partners build a portfolio of managed properties, generating recurring monthly income through lettings and management services.
Sourced Living Partners earn income through management fees on rental properties, as well as additional services such as HMOs and short-term lets. This creates consistent, recurring revenue as the property portfolio grows, and it's a business that will be worth a lot if you go on to sell.
Sourced Living offers a funded acquisition model where partners can step into an existing lettings business within their territory. This means acquiring a portfolio of properties, revenue, and clients from day one, without needing to build everything from scratch.
No, Sourced Living is designed for individuals without prior lettings experience. Partners receive training, systems, and ongoing support to manage properties, landlords, and tenants effectively.
The Flexi-Let model allows Sourced Living Partners to generate income across multiple strategies, including traditional lettings, HMOs, and short-term accommodation. This creates a more flexible and resilient lettings business that helps you stand out from competition.
This depends on the route taken. Partners building organically will grow their portfolio over time, while those using the funded acquisition model can step into an established portfolio immediately and scale from there.
Sourced Living Partners receive ongoing support including training, operational systems, marketing tools, and access to a wider network. The model is designed to help Partners build a scalable lettings business with recurring income.
The Sourced Group, a leading property investment and management company, proudly announces the expansion of its franchise network with the addition of its first five agents in its newest arm of the business, Sourced Living.
From Induction to Owning a 200+ Property Lettings Business in 10 Weeks
May 05, 2026
Sourced Living partner Dan has taken over a 200+ property lettings business just 10 weeks after joining.
With £425,000 annual turnover and a fully funded acquisition, this shows what’s possible when you step into an established business rather than building from scratch.
What would it look like to go from joining a lettings business… to owning one in 10 weeks?
That’s exactly what’s just happened inside Sourced Living.
Dan joined earlier this year, and within a matter of weeks, he’s stepped into a fully operational lettings business with income from day one.
Not built from scratch. Not pieced together over time.
A real business, already working.
From Joining to Ownership in 10 Weeks
Dan attended induction in February.
By April, he had completed on a fully funded acquisition and taken ownership of an established lettings agency.
That’s a 10-week journey from getting started to running a business with real scale behind it.
For most people, that process would take years.
What Dan Has Stepped Into
Here’s what that business looks like:
200+ managed rental properties
Approximately £425,000 annual turnover
An agency valued at around £350,000
Established landlord relationships
Existing systems and team in place
Immediate recurring income from day one
This is not a startup. This is a fully operational lettings business, already generating income.
A Different Starting Point
One of the biggest challenges when starting a lettings business is getting momentum.
Finding landlords.
Building a portfolio.
Creating consistent income.
That takes time.
What’s different here is the starting point.
Instead of building everything from zero, Dan has stepped into a business with:
Clients already in place
Systems already running
Income already being generated
That changes the journey completely.
How the Assisted Acquisitions Programme Works
Through Sourced Living’s Assisted Acquisitions Programme, partners have the opportunity to take over established lettings businesses.
Rather than building from scratch, the focus is on stepping into something that’s already operating.
That means:
Immediate income from day one
Existing landlords and managed properties
Proven systems and infrastructure
Support throughout the acquisition process
Up to 100% funding available
It’s designed to shorten the path to building a real, sustainable business.
What This Shows
Dan is now the second partner to complete on an acquisition like this in the last month.
That’s significant.
It shows this isn’t a one-off outcome.
There’s real momentum building behind this model, with more opportunities being created and completed in a short space of time.
Who This Is For
This approach is suited to people who:
Want to build a serious business in property
Are looking for a faster route to income
Prefer stepping into something established rather than starting from zero
Want support, structure, and a clear pathway
Whether you’re new to property or already involved, the key difference is how quickly you can get to a meaningful position.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you realistically take over a lettings business?
In Dan’s case, it took around 10 weeks from joining to completing on an acquisition. Timelines can vary, but this shows what’s possible when opportunities align. We go all in helping you get one. Our success depends on yours.
Do you need experience to take on a business like this?
Not necessarily. Sourced Living provides systems, training, and ongoing support to help partners operate and grow their business.
What does “fully funded acquisition” mean?
It means that Sourced Living can provide funding support for the acquisition, allowing partners to step into an established business without needing to fund the full purchase themselves. You just fund the franchisee fee.
Is this a one-off success story?
No. This is now the second acquisition completed within a month, showing a growing trend rather than a one-off example.
Final Thought
If you’re looking at building a lettings business, the usual path is slow.
Start small. Build gradually. Grow over time.
But this shows there’s another way.
One where you can step into a business that’s already working and focus on growing it from day one.
