Property Sourcing in Detail
- Residential and commercial property sourcing are the two main categories.
- Residential property sourcing is the process of locating a home to buy, an investment opportunity, a buy-to-let property, or a rental property for a landlord to add to their portfolio.
- While finding a property to buy to utilise as a business location is known as commercial property sourcing.
- Land and buildings are the two primary categories of property sourcing deals.
- Land sourcing transactions entail buying just the land itself, without any structures. A land surveyor’s services could be required here.
- While when you buy a piece of property with a building already there, the agreement is called a “building sourcing deal.”
Sourcing Services for Commercial Property.
Choosing the ideal commercial property can be challenging. But we can locate the ideal piece of commercial real estate for your company with the aid of our expert property sourcing service.
We at Henson & Stanley Property Services Limited have been assisting businesses in finding the ideal property for years. We can assist you in locating the ideal property for your business needs because we have a large database of properties that are available for lease or purchase.
We are available whenever you need us, and we can even set up meetings. Once we have located a place for you, we will speak with the landlord or leasing firm on your behalf to ensure that you get the best conditions available, including pricing and any necessary lease-hold renovations.
In addition, we provide a number of services to facilitate your search for and acquisition of commercial real estate. With site selection, due research, and negotiation, we can assist you. Also, we have a group of knowledgeable attorneys that can assist you with all the legal facets of leasing or purchasing commercial real estate.
Site Acquisition and Land Sourcing
Our land sourcing and site acquisitions service assists in determining what size parcel of land to purchase for building or project purposes, ensuring that you receive the ideal location at the ideal cost. Our teams search the area you’ve selected for available plots before assisting you in selecting one from that list. After getting a sense of size, we move on to qualities like cost, location, features, etc.
The purchase procedure for a development agreement may take months in some circumstances, but it can also be quite swift in others. This is especially true if there are numerous parties engaged or if there are existing structures on the property.
How Can You Be Sure a Property Sourcer Is Providing You with Accurate Data?
Well, you must complete your homework. This entails exercising due diligence and running a background check. Get specific information by asking them (us) about previous transactions they (we) have undertaken. If at all feasible, seek recommendations or testimonials from previous customers, or attempt to speak with them directly.
As a reliable property sourcing company, we won’t object if you do your research and raise the appropriate questions. Additionally, we’ll be happy to give you any information you might need. It is typically a bad sign if we were to be evasive and cagey.

Converting Real Estate in The UK From Business to Residential
A property’s use can be changed in the UK from commercial to residential. This might be a terrific opportunity to utilise a property that has been sitting vacant or to modify it to better fit your needs.
When changing a building from commercial to residential use, there are a few factors to keep in mind. The first is that, in order to comply with residential building requirements, the property might need certain adjustments. Your local council will also want you to obtain planning clearance because the property’s use may have changed.
It’s also crucial to keep in mind that the rules governing planning and building requirements might be extremely complicated if you’re converting a building from commercial to residential use. It’s always a good idea to consult with a specialist who can guide you through these regulations and make sure your conversion is done securely and lawfully.
Henson & Stanley Property Services Limited has extensive knowledge converting commercial properties to residential ones. From gaining planning permission to finishing the conversion itself, we can assist you at every stage of the procedure.
Call us right away for further details.

No matter what, we will always put out our best effort to make sure that your properties are operating efficiently seven days a week, as this is crucial to maximising investment.
The advantages of managing a property portfolio are numerous and diverse, but they can be summarised into three main categories: efficiency, profitability, and risk reduction. You may take use of the experience, knowledge, and resources that will help your assets run as efficiently as possible by contracting out the management of your property portfolio to an experienced group. Additionally, if you want to safeguard the value of your properties as well as your reputation as a landlord, you must have complete confidence that your assets are managed in a compliant manner. You may reduce administrative duties and have far better control over costs by outsourcing property portfolio management services.
The following are the main components of property portfolio management:
- Monthly reporting on all receipts and payments
- Forecasting incoming financial flows
- Payments for rent are made on a regular basis using an internet service like PayPal or bacs.
- The routine onsite examination of each property
- Every property has energy performance certificates.
- Full VAT compliance checks and each property’s quarterly tax reports
Reasons to Invest in London
The subject of investing in London real estate can be difficult to navigate. Property investment in London is not for everyone due to exorbitant costs and below average rental yields. Nevertheless, the city continues to receive a healthy amount of investment, particularly from international sources. In fact, according to a Statista research from 2018, London had 458 foreign investment projects, which was 12 times more than Manchester, which came in second.
Here are three factors that make investing in London a smart move.
Redevelopment initiatives in the city
Here is a list of redevelopment initiatives in London
A £14.8 billion upgrade of London’s rail infrastructure. This will provide 118 km of new rail track and is projected to generate £20 billion in economic growth for the UK.
A 30-year master plan for the neighbourhood of Thamesmead. 8,000 new dwellings, 4,000 new jobs, and renovations to 5 km of riverbank and 7 km of canals are all part of the project.
Old Oak Common and Park Royal regeneration is a £26 billion project that will build a £3 billion Imperial College, a brand-new high-street, and a transportation superhub.
The most major project is probably the Crossrail, as it will increase tenant demand throughout the South of England. This includes commuter towns like Slough, where housing costs have increased by more than 60% in places close to new Crossrail connections.
Rental property demand
Rentable properties are in high demand in London, one of the most sought-after places for young professionals to live and work, making it a low-risk investment for buy to let investors. As young professionals struggle to climb the property ladder due to rising home costs in London and the rest of the UK, many are turning to rentals, creating several investment opportunities in the city’s rental sector. Apartments and larger homes that are perfect for use as an HMO are among the many potential rental investment properties available in London.
London’s Massive Regeneration
London, the capital of the UK, draws the majority of UK inward investment, which has significantly sparked regeneration in the city.
Since London hosted the 2012 Summer Olympics, a number of transformational initiatives have helped the city maintain its economic dominance on the global stage.
Hotspots for property investment in London
Some property investors are buying property in UK commuter towns that are rising quickly due to the housing bubble, towns such as Bournemouth and Poole. Many investors are looking to buy property in UK hotspots, which may be cheap for now but will eventually escalate in price due to their proximity to popular city centres.
Although the UK may have had better times, its real estate market has always been robust. Property investors hoping to profit from the nation’s real estate boom still have lots of excellent investment prospects. With millions of people visiting the capital each year, London continues to be one of the most profitable destinations in all of Europe. In fact, during the past five years, the value of real estate in London has increased by an astounding 50% and is showing no indications of slowing down any time soon. But a guide is still needed on where to look. Here is a list of areas in London to invest in property.
South London
Property values in South London are, on average, lower than those in other areas of London. Currently, the average price in the south is roughly £480,000, but there are also some pricey areas and great deals! When compared to other districts of the city, such as Richmond, which has a comparable costliness rating but just one tram line running through it, Croydon is an excellent place to discover a good deal for people looking to buy.
North London
Some of the most expensive homes in the UK are in North London. If you know where to search, there is still tremendous value, though! HM Land Registry reports that the current average home value in Barnet is £526,533; in Camden, £870,627; in Enfield, £400,000; in Haringey, £465,000; and in Islington, £516,467.
East London
You might be shocked to learn that London has some of the most affordable real estate. East London is a great place for bargain-hunting real estate investors, with typical prices starting at roughly £386,000 and dropping as low as £130,000! Tower Hamlets, which has an average price per square metre that is over twice what you’ll find anywhere else, is the most expensive area. However, prospective homebuyers shouldn’t let this deter them; Barking town would still be their best option because it offers better value without requiring them to spend too much time looking for their ideal home.
West London
Currently, the cost of a home in West London is about £663,000. As a result, purchasing a home there is more expensive than in other parts of the city! Though it is still feasible to find less expensive districts like Hounslow where you can live in one of those wonderful small townhouses for at least £150,000. While Kensington and Chelsea, has an average priced flat going for $3,000,000 or higher on some streets alone.
For many landlords, West London provides every kind of rental opportunity. City employees, wealthy British and foreign inhabitants choose the neighbourhoods near to central London, while those in the west offer more reasonably priced homes that yet allow easy access to one’s place of employment thanks to their closeness to Heathrow or Gatwick airport.
Central London
The yields in central London are not very generous. The best you can hope for is 6%. (Westminster). However, there is no borough in London that can compete with that! The average yield in downtown London is 4.2 percent, which is still significantly higher than the UK average of just 3 percent. This implies that the finest yields can be found both inside and outside of Central London.
Havering
In addition to being close by and having easy access to transit, Havering is a very desirable place to reside because of all the amenities offered. Havering’s businesses have seen capital expansion in recent years, which has made this east London borough appealing to residents of Central London as well! The local economy spans a wide range of industries, such as manufacturing, logistics, and engineering. More extensive new developments around transportation links, like the soon-to-be-opened Stratford Crossrail station, will bring the area even closer to Central London while still providing some much-needed relief during rush hour between suburbs on different sides of the city.
Ilford
Future investments are fantastic at Ilford! We advise you to look at everything this area has to offer if you intend to make it your next home. Not only will Crossrail connect with local train stations in due time, but government investment in real estate and construction is also funding multimillion-pound redevelopment projects that will renovate historic structures and create new jobs in the local economy. Remember that prices in London have increased by 60% in the past five years, giving investors plenty of time before they need another mortgage. Just be careful not to miss out by purchasing early (that’s why you should hire the services of our experts to help you plan and execute your investment).

With the aid of our company and a group of legal counsel, everything may be accomplished quickly and remotely. Income can then be transferred to your foreign bank account.
Are there mortgages or payment plans available?
Payment arrangements are available for off-plan real estate investments, yes. On residential property, however, a deposit amount of 10 to 30 percent will typically be required at the exchange of contracts stage, with the balance due upon completion. A relatively tiny number of our ventures do have monthly payment options.
Foreign and UK investors can both get mortgages. To help you find favourable interest rates, we have access to a large number of mortgage brokers. We can also help you invest tax efficiently through a limited corporation.
What security measures are taken? Will my money be secure?
You can be certain that you will be working with a reputable developer who has a long track record since we undertake meticulous due diligence on every investment that we promote through our company. Additionally, we will always send you all necessary documentation for review before proceeding, which UK solicitors will confirm throughout the buying process.
Deposits are frequently protected, sometimes by businesses under the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) regulation, and we are participants in a property redress program, which guarantees that we follow stringent operational best practices.
Can I ever resell the property?
With all of the investments we decide to promote, title deeds will make you the official owner. Your home can be sold whenever you want on the open market. Although we don’t concentrate on selling individual properties, we can recommend partners who can help for a fair price. You can also employ main street agents.
