Property deal sourcing is a service offered by a property sourcing agent or company in which they search for property investment opportunities on behalf of their clients. They receive compensation for their time and effort in the form of a sourcing fee. Investors benefit from this by gaining access to the sourcer’s wealth of experience and network of contacts. ​ Finding a property can be incredibly time consuming, requiring hours of research of an area, relationship building with vendors and estate agents and attending numerous viewings. Finding a potential investment property means finding relative comparables, putting forward offers, negotiating the price and then handle conveyancing until exchange of the property. ​ Using a property sourcer is cost-effective in terms of freeing up investors time so they can apply their focus on other business activities without the distraction of actively looking for deals themselves. This means investors can use their time and skill-set to create more value in their business activities, which in turn can generate more income for their property business. This allows investors to buy more property without sacrificing valuable time and ultimately accelerate the growth of their property portfolio. Because property sourcers spend a lot of their time building their network and generating valuable leads through different strategies, they have the ability to find the best deals that aren’t immediately obvious or accessible to mainstream investors. They have the right connections and have built a strong rapport with them, from estate and letting agents to property managers. Because of these strong working relationships, closing deals is much easier for them than it would be for someone who’s new to the landscape.

If you look at the value of a house being shown on an estate agent’s website, the price you will see a property being advertised at will usually be well in excess of what the property is really worth in the market. By the time the property is sold, the owners may have waited many months to find a buyer prepared to come near to that price, and even then the sale will probably proceed at a price significantly lower than the price advertised. Agents often inflate prices by claiming to be able to sell for a higher price, in order to secure the chance to sell the property against competition from other local agents. Agents may also price high simply to leave themselves room to negotiate a discount. Moorhouse Property Services calculate the true market value of your property using actual data of comparable sales achieved recently, and other valuation techniques.

There is no obligation or pressure to proceed. We completely understand that property is a significant asset and therefore you may need some time to decide.
