What Makes Us Different?
Unlike many property sourcing agents we are actually investors ourselves so we have a better understanding of what it means to find the right property.
Before
Jacky is a qualified primary school teacher with over 25 years’ experience, in the UK and abroad. Her last role, in Italy, was as part of the senior leadership team of an international school, with specific responsibility for the primary section.
James has had a range of roles in IT including supporting transactional websites for a multi-national retailer and setting up remote offices across London. In Italy he turned his hand to teaching English as a second language, as well as giving on-site IT support at an international school.
Sue has over two decades of experience across in-house legal and health & safety audit teams. Prior to that, she spent over a decade providing IT support and customer services within local government.
Change
James and Jacky's investment journey began in 2021 upon their return to the UK. They invested in training to equip themselves for the challenges ahead. Since then, they've studied the housing market, becoming familiar with their chosen investment areas and continued to stay abreast of market trends. They've established a small portfolio of buy-to-let properties, including one that provides housing for a charity. Their most recent venture, an assisted sale involving a complete refurbishment, has proved to be an insightful learning experience.

A Safe Pair of Hands
Seeing an opportunity to help other investors, James and Jacky combined their expertise with that of their longtime friend Sue to form SPH Property Sourcing. Demonstrating their commitment to best practices, they have worked hard to ensure the legal compliance of the business and, in March 2024, became approved members of NAPSA (National Association of Property Sourcing Agents).
We source properties for investors in the North West, around Crewe and Stoke-on-Trent, specialising in buy-to-let (BTL).
As experienced investors ourselves we aim to help others build their property portfolios. In addition to sourcing we also offer standalone viewings and project monitoring services.
