Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Harding Property Investments?

What is Property Sourcing?

Property Sourcing is a term used when a person or company instructs another business to find a high yielding investment property on their behalf.

A property sourcing agent is someone who secures property deals which they then sell to property investors. The role of a property sourcing agent is to act as a middleman between the buyer and seller.

What is the Difference Between an 'Estate Agent' and a 'Property Sourcing Agent'?

An estate agent is paid by the seller in order to market their property and find a buyer.

A property sourcing agent is paid by the buyer in order to find a property, typically under value or off-market properties and the price is negotiated in order to make a strong investment opportunity.

What is Rental Yield?

Rental yields are percentage figures which indicate the type of returns you will make on your investment. Identifying your rental yield is a key part of any property investment strategy and you must know this figure when reviewing and comparing different properties.

Gross Yield is the annual income generated, divided by its price.
Example: (Annual Rent £5,000) divided by (Price £100,000) = 5%

Net Yield is the annual profit (income minus costs) generated, divided by its price.

Example: (Annual Rent £5,000) minus costs (£1,000) divided by (Price £100,000) = 4%

Which Areas Do You Cover?

We’re currently focused in the North East of England (Newcastle, County Durham & Sunderland).

However we’re also operating in Leeds, Nottingham and parts of the South East.

How Long Does it Take to Source a Property?

Sourcing a property can vary in time depending on the type of investment you’re looking for along with market conditions. Simple BTLs that need renovation can be found in a matter of days, whereas a more complex development or extremely high-yielding investments could take several months.

Once an investment has been found, the average purchase takes 3 months to complete before you legally own the property.

"I could not recommend Fergus enough. He showed great knowledge of the market and his customer service from the start of the sales process to the finish was brilliant.
