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

From Induction to Owning a 200+ Property Lettings Business in 10 Weeks
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.
