Property sourcing — the service
Property investing,
simplified
Partner with Mike Bells to find your first — or next — investment. Two ways in, depending on how involved you want to be.
Two ways in
Free channels,
or a bespoke search
Most people start with the free channels and move to a bespoke search when they know what they want. Neither is a sales funnel for the other.
Become a bespoke client
A dedicated search against your exact brief — strategy, budget, areas. We source, vet and negotiate on your behalf, and hand you a deal ready to complete.
№ 01 — Our speciality
Buy-to-let and BRR,
in Britain's highest-yielding region
Turnkey stock for hands-off portfolios, and refurbishment projects for buyers who want the uplift. The whole of North East England, and only North East England.
Buy-to-Let
Tenant-ready homes in proven rental areas, generating income from completion day.
Ready to let
Homes that need nothing doing, checked against the comparatives before they come to you.
Off-market stock
Withdrawn and unsold homes from our agent network, brought to you before they reach the portals.
Refurbishment
Houses at a discount to finished value. We cost the refurbishment, check the end value against sold comparatives, and hand it over with the numbers done.
Sourcing fees — agreed up front
What it costs
One fee, agreed in writing before we start. It covers the search, the viewings, verifying the numbers, negotiating the price and guiding the purchase to completion.
£3,500 – £10,000
Depending on the type of deal and its value. No hidden charges and no VAT. BRR projects are quoted per deal, because the work between purchase and finish decides the fee.
£500
A proper search takes two to three days and costs agents their time, so we ask for £500 before we begin a bespoke search. It is credited against the sourcing fee at completion, and refundable if a property is not as we described it.

№ 03 — Common questions
Easy to work with,
by design
Q
What does the sourcing fee cover?
Everything from brief to keys: the search, viewings, verifying the numbers, negotiating the price, and guiding the purchase through to completion. The fee — £3,500 to £10,000 depending on the deal — is agreed in writing before we start. No hidden charges.
Q
Where exactly do you source?
The whole North East: Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Teesside — Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Gateshead, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Darlington, Stockton, South Shields and the towns around them. Focus is the point — we know these streets, their rents and their tenants better than anyone covering the whole country.
Q
How do deals reach me?
Two ways. Free: join the WhatsApp channel and the weekly newsletter, sent every Thursday, where secured deals go out first come, first served. Bespoke: we search against your exact brief and bring deals directly to you before anyone else sees them.
Q
Can I invest from outside the region — or the UK?
Yes — most of our clients do. The model is hands-off by design: video viewings, verified numbers, and negotiation handled on the ground, so distance does not matter.
Q
What happens after completion?
We connect you with our trusted local network — letting agents, brokers and trades — so the property starts earning from day one. And the next deal is one email away.
