A new Sourced Living Partner has completed on the purchase of an established letting agency just 49 days after joining the network.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

John Clark\u00a0acquired\u00a0a business with 262 managed units, \u00a3293,000 annual turnover and existing landlords, tenants,\u00a0systems\u00a0and team already in place.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u00a3450,000 purchase was fully funded by Sourced through the Assisted Acquisitions Programme.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Building a lettings business with support<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sourced Living gives Partners the brand, training,\u00a0technology\u00a0and ongoing support needed to build a lettings business.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For some Partners, that journey can also include\u00a0acquiring\u00a0an existing lettings agency or portfolio, rather than starting completely from scratch.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through the Assisted Acquisitions Programme, Sourced supports Partners with suitable acquisition opportunities, business reviews, due diligence,\u00a0funding\u00a0and guidance after completion.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why\u00a0this matters<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting a lettings business can take time. Landlord relationships, managed units, systems,\u00a0processes\u00a0and income are usually built gradually.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

John\u2019s story shows a different route.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By\u00a0acquiring\u00a0an established business, he stepped into agency ownership with an existing portfolio and operational structure already in place.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Sourced, the approach is simple: we\u00a0do not succeed\u00a0unless our Partners succeed. That is why the support continues before, during and after completion.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch the full interview<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the latest Sourced in the Spotlight interview, John shares his journey, how the acquisition process worked and what life looks like now as the owner of an established letting agency.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For anyone exploring the idea of owning a lettings business, John\u2019s story is a powerful example of what can be possible with the right opportunity and support behind you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
