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 each year of £1,95 +VAT so that we can continue to carry out compliance checks and maintain and grow the search platform for investors to utilise.

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!!"
