Insights
Notes from the deal-room.
Process and packing. Not product pitches. Not financial advice.
Off-market UK deals versus Rightmove
What you actually buy when a pack is not a public listing — and what you still have to verify.
What a compliant UK sourcer looks like in 2026
AML, redress, ICO, PI — and why “FCA authorised” is the wrong badge for this work.
BTL vs HMO vs commercial income
How we split tickets, and which numbers belong on which pack.
How UK sourcing fees work
A fee on the pack, figures illustrative until the engagement letter, and an all-in yield that can break.
Overseas buyers of UK property
Process, not pep-talk: solicitor, AML, SDLT, SPV — and a pack you can read first.
What must be in a deal pack
Public teaser versus gated file. If a line is missing, the pack is not finished.
Red flags on sourced deals
Refuse lists exist because some buyers, and some packs, waste everyone.
SDLT, SPVs and company purchase
A map of the questions. Not tax advice. Rates: check GOV.UK at instruction.
