Want To Do What We Do?

Learn the Craft

If you want to source deals yourself, we will show you how we actually work: how we find off-market stock, run the numbers, package a deal and stay compliant. Real methods from a working desk, not theory from a course slide.

Why Use a Property Sourcer?

A good sourcer does the work most buyers cannot do, and should not have to. Here is what that is worth:

01

Time-Saving

Sourcing is slow work: research, viewings and negotiations. We do it full time so you don't have to.

02

Access to Off-Market Opportunities

Deals that never reach the portals, sourced through agents, landlords, developers and auctions.

03

Local Market Knowledge

Street-level knowledge of the markets we work: values, rents, demand and what is changing.

04

Expert Property Evaluation

Location, condition, renovation potential and projected returns, all evaluated before you commit.

05

Reduced Risk

Due diligence that flags structural issues, legal complications and unfavourable market conditions early.

Off-Market First

We source privately available and overlooked UK property opportunities through agents, landlords, developers, auctions and direct relationships. They reach us before they reach the wider market, giving you first look at the kind of stock most buyers never hear about.

Deal Quality Always

Every opportunity is assessed on the numbers that matter: purchase price, yield, refurbishment costs, sold comparables, rental demand and exit potential. The full investment case has been built and tested by the time the deal lands in front of you.

Only Deals Worth Seeing

We do not send endless listings to your inbox. We present a much smaller number of opportunities where the investment case is genuinely clear, and we will tell you plainly when a deal does not stack up, because most of them don't.

Join the Investor Network

Tell us what you're trying to buy and we'll put you on the list for opportunities that actually match, and nothing else. When something fits your budget, your strategy and your areas, you'll hear about it directly from a partner.

Submitting opens your own email app with everything drafted. Nothing leaves this page until you press send. We use your details to reply to this enquiry only.

Two Names on the Door

Stagg & Houghtons is deliberately small. You deal with a principal, always.

SS Partner, Research & Underwriting

Sam Stagg

Sam leads the firm's research, finding the right streets and the right owners before anything is listed. He owns the analysis behind every opportunity: the comparables, the yields, the costs and the downside case.

"If a figure can't show its source, it doesn't ship."

BH Partner, Sourcing & Negotiation

Ben Houghton

Ben runs the ground game: the weekly agent calls, the auction rooms, the landlord and developer conversations. He negotiates from the evidence, comparables and quotations rather than bluster, and stays on every deal from offer to keys.

"Sellers don't want the highest bidder. They want the buyer who completes."

Questions, Answered

Are you regulated? Can I check?

Property sourcing requires redress-scheme membership, HMRC anti-money-laundering supervision and ICO registration. Ours are in progress, and we will not introduce a single deal to a single investor before they are complete. Every register involved is public. When we say check us in fifteen minutes, we mean it.

What do you charge, and when?

A fixed fee per deal, agreed in writing before we start searching. There are no search fees and nothing monthly. The fee is due at completion, when you have the keys, and every other outcome is covered in writing.

Do you guarantee returns?

No, and be careful with anyone who does. Property values and rents go down as well as up. What we stand behind is the process: evidenced numbers, a downside case on every deal, and opportunities rejected the moment they stop clearing your criteria. We sell sourcing and analysis, not investment advice.

Do you ever hold my money?

Never. Deposits and purchase funds move between solicitors, yours and the vendor's, the same as any private purchase.

Do I commit to anything by joining?

No. Joining the network simply tells us what you're looking for. There are no fees, no obligations and no contracts. If a deal fits, you'll hear about it; if nothing fits, you won't hear from us at all.

What happens if a deal falls through?

Roughly one agreed sale in three falls through industry-wide, so it's designed in: we source a replacement or refund your reservation, your choice, and we keep pipeline behind every deal so a collapse costs weeks rather than months.
