Get found by the investors who are already looking for you
Investors come to NAPSA to find compliant, credible sourcing agents to work with — and they search by location and strategy to find the right one. Membership puts your business in front of them, backed by the compliance and credibility that turns a search into a conversation.
Why accreditation matters for your business
Property sourcing is a largely unregulated space. When anyone can call themselves a sourcer, it is harder for the agents doing it properly to stand out and win an investor's trust. Accreditation is how you show, clearly, that you are one of the prof
✓ Get found. Accredited members appear on our public register, where investors actively search for property sourcing agents they can trust. This is how the investors already looking find you.
✓ Win trust faster. An accredited status tells investors you are compliant, checked, and accountable, so they can commit with confidence.
✓ Stand out from the rest. In a crowded, unregulated market, working to a recognised standard is what separates a professional sourcing business from the rest.
What NAPSA gives you
Membership is about being supported to do this properly, not just holding a badge. As an accredited property sourcer you get:
✓ A searchable profile on the national register, where investors can find and contact you.*
✓ Access to Property Connect, our investor community, to build relationships and win business.*
✓ Ongoing support to keep your compliance, registrations, and documents current.
✓ A recognised standard to put behind your business, backed by the national association.
*Once you've completed our registration process and your sourcing business becomes officially NAPSA accredited.

How to become an accredited property sourcer
Get started in less than one minute
Everything starts with NAPSA Education. It is where you get the training, the compliance, and the documents in place, and where you join as a member. Whether you want to become a property sourcer from scratch, or you are already sourcing and want to get fully compliant, Education is built to take you there step by step, with our team alongside you.
The Complete Sourcing Programme covers the full journey: how to source professionally, the training the regulators require, the documents your business must hold, and a year of NAPSA membership. If you are already established, membership on its own may be the right route. Education will help you choose.
Are you an investor?
