Property Sourcers: Your Clients Want Deals No One Else Can Find

Your reputation as a property sourcer depends on one thing — bringing your clients opportunities they can't find on their own. The moment your deal list looks like Rightmove, you're finished.

The sourcers who charge premium fees are the ones with access to off-market, below-market-value stock. And there's an entire category of property that most sourcers completely overlook: empty properties.

Why Empty Properties Are Sourcing Gold

Empty properties are, by definition, not being actively marketed. The owners have often disengaged — sometimes for years. That means there's no estate agent competing for the sale, no bidding war on Rightmove, and a motivated seller who hasn't been contacted by anyone yet.

For a sourcer charging £3,000 to £7,000 per packaged deal, an empty property at 20–30% below market value is exactly what your investor clients are looking for.

The problem has always been finding them at scale. Driving streets, checking council tax records, asking local agents — it works, but it doesn't scale beyond a handful of deals per month.

15,000 Empty Properties. One Map.

LandAttic tracks over 15,000 verified empty properties across the UK on an interactive map. Search any city, town, or postcode and see every known vacancy in that area. Birmingham alone has over 800.

But raw property counts aren't enough. Your clients need viable deals, not a list of derelict buildings. That's where the attached data comes in.

Daily email alerts build your pipeline automatically. Set up alerts for your clients' target areas. New empty properties land in your inbox every morning — before anyone else knows about them. That's the competitive edge your business runs on.

Planning and EPC data lets you pre-qualify. Before you package a deal, you need to know the basics: Is it in a Conservation Area? What's the EPC rating? Any flood risk? LandAttic shows all of this on the property page. You can screen a property in two minutes and decide whether it's worth pursuing.

Shortlists keep your deal flow organised. Save properties to shortlists by client, area, or strategy. When an investor calls asking what you've got in Leeds, the answer is already compiled.

The ROI Is Immediate

One sourced deal at a £5,000 fee pays for over 13 years of LandAttic Essential+ at £30/month. Even if only one in twenty properties you find through the platform turns into a completed deal, the return on investment is enormous.

Your clients want deals that no one else has found. LandAttic gives you a 15,000-property head start.
