Key Steps For Sourcing Compliance

We want to provide agents with facts on what they actually need to get compliant. Unfortunately, it is a lot more than just tick-boxing registrations and insurance.

Getting this right means having the correct paperwork — see our Property Sourcing Documents Suite.

How Much Does it Cost to Set Up a Sourcing Business?

We provided this walk-through of the expected costs an agent will find in year one (setting up), and then an estimate for each year after.

Common Mistakes When Setting Up Your Business

We've listed some of these out to help new agents into the sector avoid the same mistakes - some of them serious enough to end your business on the spot or give you a serious fine to consider.

Our 10 Steps to Setting Up your Business course outlines each step in the most logical and cost effective order - helping you avoid common sourcing mistakes.

Property Sourcers Operating Illegally

Our CEO, Tina Walsh, joined Saj Hussain on the Big Property Podcast for a live session covering the property sourcing sector, and how there are many illegal deals and poor business operations occurring in the UK right now.

As an expert in property sourcing and compliance Tina keeps track of all legislation and regulation changes, communicates directly with both redress schemes, HMRC's AML team, as well as Trading Standards - so that she can share this information across the sourcing and deal packaging sector.

Hidden Costs of 'Done For You' Sourcing Services

It sounds incredibly helpful, having a business complete all of your registrations and insurance so you don't have to. What's not talked about enough are the risks involved in this, that we've seen directly through NAPSA when members go through our business health check.
