Rental evidence
Ask for dated comparable listings and achieved-rent evidence. Separate an asking rent from a confirmed tenancy.
MISSING: independent verification; do not treat a listing as proof.
For investors
Prepare for your next property purchase with a clearer plan.
Clarify your goals, understand sourcing fees and know which evidence to ask for. Start with our free preparation pack, or tell L&M what you are considering for an initial conversation.
AML supervision pending. Waitlist only. We do not offer, reserve or package properties at present. General preparation guidance only; no return is promised.
An initial conversation
What are you considering?
Name, email, goal and general area are enough to start. Extra details are optional. We reply manually by email; this does not reserve a property or instruct a service.
Use this form for a planning conversation. If you also want an email when sourcing opens, choose the separate optional waitlist box. No opening date is confirmed.

A practical investor preparation pack.
Three tools to use before speaking with a sourcer: a one-page search brief, sourcing-fee questions and an evidence checklist. Download the printable HTML file, open it in your browser and print or save as PDF.
Your search brief
Separate decisions from preferences: goal, area, timing and constraints.
Questions about fees
Ask what is included, who is paid, when payment is due and what happens if a purchase stops.
Evidence before commitment
Record each source, its date, who has checked it and what remains missing.
Invented example
Turn a broad ambition into a useful brief.
This example is fictional. It shows the questions to organise, not a property or a recommendation.
Read the full brief-writing guide- Decided
- Long-term rental. Houses rather than flats. Light refurbishment at most.
- Still testing
- Whether to buy one property this year or wait and buy two.
- Locations
- Two towns I know well through work. A third is possible after more research.
- Timeframe
- Ready once the sale of another property completes. Not before.
- Budget
- Chosen as a band on the form, or left out.
- Would avoid
- Structural work, and anywhere I could not reach for a viewing within a day.
- Last updated
- The date of this version, so changes are easy to see.
Hypothetical evidence review · no property offered
A claim is the start. The evidence matters.
This educational example shows how to question a proposed purchase. It contains no real address, valuation, return projection or completed-deal claim. Missing evidence stays visible.
Condition and works
Record survey findings, scope, professional estimates and exclusions.
MISSING: survey and contractor estimates; photographs cannot establish condition.
Full purchase costs
List the purchase price, sourcing fee, legal fees, tax, finance and works separately.
MISSING: written fee terms and advice on costs applicable to you.
Letting and permissions
Check intended use, title restrictions, planning and any local licensing requirements with relevant professionals.
MISSING: current property-specific checks; do not assume eligibility.
Use a qualified solicitor, surveyor, finance adviser and tax adviser where relevant. This checklist does not replace their work.
Talk through what you still need to prepareYour starting point
Useful at different stages.
First property purchase

Growing a portfolio
Define the gap you want the next purchase to fill, your constraints and the records to review with your advisers.
Buying from outside the UK

After you enquire
A clear next step, without commitment.
Tell us your plans
Name, email, goal and general area. More detail is optional.
We reply by email
To understand your plans. Nothing you send commits you.
Choose opening updates, if you wish
Tick the separate waitlist box for an email when sourcing opens. General marketing is a different choice.
If the service opens
The sourcing service can open only once HMRC AML supervision is in place. We will contact people on the waitlist then. We cannot give a date.

Useful to know
Questions investors ask.
Can you send me deals now?
No. While our HMRC AML supervision application is pending, the sourcing service is waitlist only. We do not offer, reserve or package properties, and we do not match investors with properties.
What happens after I enquire?
We reply by email to understand your goals, locations and timeframe, and add you to the sourcing waitlist if you would like. Nothing you send commits you to anything.
Do I need to share my budget?
No. It is optional and only helps us understand your brief. Please do not send financial documents.
Do you promise a level of return?
No. We do not promise or project returns. Any property decision should rest on your own research and qualified advice.
