Property Sourcing

Don’t have the time, experience or knowledge to find the perfect investment property for you? We can help.

Sourcing the right property for your investment can be tough – especially if you’re relatively new to this form of investing or don’t have a strong knowledge of the property market in the area you want to invest in.

With years of experience in the Scottish property markets, buying and selling investment property, Cox & Co is the ideal partner for you whether you’re a first-time buyer looking for a new home or an experienced property investor short on time to scour available properties.

Our highly experienced property experts have a keen eye for sourcing flats and houses of all kinds, including off-market and undervalued properties so that you can invest in a property that ticks all the boxes for you.

Private Acquisitions

You won’t find all properties available for sale on websites like Zoopla or Rightmove. This might be because the property has just been sold or because it’s being sold by the owner themselves or an estate agent who isn’t advertising the property publicly.

Buying an off-market property can be a fantastic opportunity for investors because it means you won’t have to deal with the often fierce levels of competition that follow when an available property is widely publicised.

At other times, a property may just have been listed but you want a quick sale and not having to deal with a whole lot of competing offers. 

With our strong relationships with property agents and with the promise of a quick and uncomplicated sale, we can often get exclusivity on a property on sale for a number of days so you can decide whether you want to invest in it. This makes the sales process simpler for both you as the investor and the seller of the property you have your eye on.

Here at Cox & Co, we’ve got an excellent track record for sourcing off-market properties and getting exclusive deals at competitive prices for our clients.

Our principles of good sourcing

Our strong expertise in the Scottish property markets mean we know what buyers, sellers and tenants are looking for. We take all of this into account when we’re sourcing the perfect property for your investment.

SOURCING PROPERTIES

Due to our strong experience in buying and selling property in Edinburgh and further afield, we can tell a good deal when we see it, both buying and selling property at the market value to make the deal make sense for everyone involved.  We’re able to source great properties through our strong network of estate agents, property sourcers and more, making us able to work together to bring you the best possible deals.

FINDING AREAS OF SUPPLY SHORTAGE VS DEMAND

Armed with our expert knowledge of the Scottish property markets, we’re able to identify geographical areas where you can get the best possible deals for properties. However, we take things to the next level and go much deeper than simply naming neighbourhoods that make for good investment opportunities, identifying smaller pockets within those areas with the most promise in terms of capital growth.

PROPERTIES CLOSE TO SCHOOLS, AMENITIES & TRANSPORT LINKS

Being near supermarkets, public transport and good schools are near the top of the list of must-haves for nearly everyone seeking a new home. We keep this in mind during our search, using our local knowledge to identify the most liveable streets within promising neighbourhoods for your investment.
