How it works

Start to finish, and beyond.

Most sourcers stop at completion. We stay on: furnishing a short let, placing a lease, or finding and managing tenants, so the property starts earning sooner.

Sourcing, done properly

How we protect you.

Our fee and what it covers are agreed in a written sourcing agreement before we start. You're never asked to send money to us for the property itself: purchase funds go through your solicitor.

Property investment carries risk. Values can fall as well as rise, income isn't guaranteed and lease or rental terms can change. Figures in our deal packs are estimates based on stated assumptions. Nothing on this site is financial advice. Speak to an independent adviser before investing.

Questions investors ask

Asked and answered.

How do you charge for sourcing?

A sourcing fee per property, agreed in your sourcing agreement before we start. We discuss it on your call, as it depends on the strategy and how much work the deal needs.

How do social housing leases work?

You buy the property, it's brought up to the provider's standard, and it's leased to a housing association, local authority or registered provider for a set number of years. The provider places and looks after the residents and pays the rent set in the lease.

Lease lengths, rent and repair responsibilities vary by provider. We show you the actual terms before you commit, and your solicitor should review the lease.

Can you manage the property after I buy?

Yes, and that's the main difference from most sourcers. Glowhaus Property can manage short lets and long lets, and Glowhaus Cleaning handles turnovers and end-of-tenancy cleans.

Do I need to be in Manchester?

No. Many of our investors live elsewhere in the UK or abroad. Everything can be handled remotely, with video walk-throughs.

What's the catch?

Property isn't risk-free and it isn't instant. Refurbs can overrun, voids happen, and rules change. We put the risks in the deal pack rather than hide them, and we'd rather you walk away from a deal than buy the wrong one.
