Property Investors
Our key goal at NAPSA is to significantly improve standards and professionalism across the sourcing sector, whilst making access to professional sourcing agents as easy as possible.
Connect with Credible Sourcing Agents
Investors can join our Community completely for free from January - register now to book your place in advance. In our new Community you can connect and work with NAPSA-approved sourcing agents.
In this private and compliant space, only agents who have proven they meet the required compliance standards can share with you their services and latest deals, so you can choose to connect and work with them.
NAPSA takes ZERO fee for any communication or deals you complete with any of our agents. That's not what we are about - we want to provide investors with a safe and compliant space to connect with credible and professional sourcing agents.
All you have to do is complete the form, agree to the terms, and our team will be in touch. Have questions? Message our team at [email protected].
Compliant Sourcing Agents at Your Fingertips
Are you a cash-rich, time-poor property investor looking to work with a professional and compliant sourcing agent to help build your portfolio?
At NAPSA, we’ve created a safe space for investors to search and contact professional sourcers, knowing they have been checked for authenticity first.
All of our agents go through 25 rigorous compliance and business checks before they become live and searchable on our platform.
25 Rigorous Compliance Checks
On every single NAPSA sourcing agent to make sure they are operating compliantly and professionally.Checked
We check all registrations, insurance and legally required documents to make sure they are fit for purpose and will protect both the investor and sourcer. This process is carried out manually by a two-step expert compliance team for accuracy.
Approved
Once we've made all of the checks, we will make the sourcing agent 'approved' so they become live and searchable on NAPSA's platform. Investors can search and message all of our approved agents directly for more information.
Monitored
We don't just leave it there, throughout the year we carry out checks to make sure all registrations, insurance and business practices are kept up to date. We only keep agents who can continuously prove they are operating compliantly.
We Don’t Charge Investors a Penny
We want investors to feel they have a safe space to search and contact sourcing agents. As a National Association, we have developed our platform to improve our sector and not profit from it – which is why we are different to other sourcing platforms – we don’t charge investors a penny.
- Searching for sourcing agents costs you nothing
- Contacting NAPSA agents costs you nothing
- We charge ZERO for any deals you complete with a NAPSA sourcing agent
The ONLY fee we take is from our sourcing agents of £295 +VAT so that we can continue to carry out compliance checks and maintain and grow the search platform for investors to utilise.
Proud to Be Partnered With Both Property Redress Schemes
We wrote the Code of Practice for the Sourcing Sector, followed and accepted by both government approved redress schemes.
The Property Ombudsman (TPO)
As the only Ombudsman within the private property sector and with over 30 years' of experience, TPO has an unrivalled level of expertise that will help NAPSA agents set the bar for other sourcing agents to follow.
The Property Redress Scheme (PRS)
PRS is a consumer redress scheme, authorised by the Government since 2014 to provide an impartial service that considers consumer complaints about a variety of property related issues.
What You Can Expect From NAPSA Sourcing Agents
All of our agents are checked for the correct compliance in place, but what else separates these agents from others in our sector?
- Organised and clear processes
- Honest about fees
- They will listen to your requirements
- No investment or financial advice
It’s important of investors to understand what to look out for when it comes to working with a professional sourcing agent.
Mark Irving, Mear Properties
"There is a stigmatism that all sourcers have "No Idea" what they are doing and that they over charge for poor service…Being a member of NAPSA shows commitment to standards and builds credibility and professionalism that cannot be bought. If you want the best, you must work and associate yourself with the best!!"
Trevor Peat, Byron's Oak Property Investments
"I think it is important to first get all the compliance in place and NAPSA Is the gold standard for this along with keeping you updated with any legal changes. I am looking forward to networking with other members and investors, not just in my own area but others as well."
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it cost anything for searches?
As NAPSA is a not-for-profit association, our key goal is to improve professionalism within our sector, and we wanted to make sure we did this without impacting investors. This is why as an investor you will pay nothing for searches, results, contacting sourcers, or any fee from the deals.
How do I know Sourcers are Compliant?
All sourcers have to apply for members through NAPSA by paying an annual fee and completing a rigorous check process, based on the NAPSA Code of Conduct. We only make a sourcer ‘live’ and searchable once they can prove they have all legally required documentation and processes in place.
What do I get if I Register with NAPSA
For investors who have tried our search platform and haven’t found a matching agent, we offer a free registration service so our team can message you when an agent becomes available. When you register, we’ll also send you useful tips and resources for keeping your business safe – you can opt-out any time.
How do I make a complaint about a Sourcer
Whilst we hope this never happens, sometimes deals and relationships don’t work as they should. Please go to our Complaints page to complete the form – checking you have exhausted the property redress avenue first.
