Get a fully analysed, professionally sourced investment – plus a complete asset management plan so you know what to do after completion
“Kirsty and Chris were excellent support throughout the process of purchasing our first commercial property. They were always contactable and their knowledge and experience in commercial property is exceptional. We are very satisfied with the property deal and have no hesitation in working with them again.”
-Terry & Lovisa
HERE’S THE PROBLEM:
You know commercial property can generate better returns than residential.
You understand the fundamentals – yields, leases, tenant covenants.
But finding the right deal takes time you don’t have. And even when you find something promising, there’s always that nagging question: “Am I missing something?”
Then you complete the purchase and you’re left wondering: “What now? How do I actually maximize this investment?”
That’s the gap our Sourcing Service fills.
We don’t just find you a property and wish you luck.
We source it, negotiate it, support you through the purchase process, and hand you a complete asset management plan showing you exactly how to increase the property’s value once you own it.
It’s the difference between buying a property and buying a strategy.
WHO’S THIS FOR?
- Investors who want a fully packaged deal, not just an introduction
- Anyone buying in the £300k – £1.2m+ range with funds ready to deploy
- People who value expert guidance throughout the process (not just at the start)
- Investors who want a clear roadmap for what to do after completion
THIS IS NOT FOR
- Beginners with no property experience
- Anyone looking for the cheapest possible sourcing option
- People who aren’t ready to commit capital
(If you have experience and just need basic sourcing, look at our Acquisition Service. If you need training first, start with the Commercial Property Club.)
WHAT YOU GET
Access to Kirsty’s Commercial Property Masterclass
Worth £2,000+. 8 modules, 16 hours of training covering everything from deal sourcing to pension strategies. Included in your fee.
Fully Analysed Deal Options
We don’t send you raw property details. Every opportunity comes with a complete deal summary showing yields, comparable evidence, risk factors, and upside potential.
Video Calls to Discuss Properties
Talk through each opportunity with Chris and his surveying team. Ask questions. Challenge the numbers. Get expert input before you commit.
Monthly Progress Updates
We’ll keep you in the loop throughout the sourcing and purchase process with regular call and email updates.
Professional Negotiation
We negotiate on your behalf to get the best possible terms, then agree heads of terms with the seller.
Support Through Completion
Unlike our Acquisition Service (which ends at heads of terms), we’ll support you through the legal process until completion, solving problems, providing other professional contacts, removing roadblocks and keeping the deal on track to completion.
Asset Management Plan
This is the bit most sourcers don’t do. Once you’ve completed, we’ll hand you a strategic plan showing you exactly how to uphold or add value – whether that’s through rent reviews, lease re-gears, filling vacant space, or other paper-based strategies.
Access to Our Professional Network
Solicitors, commercial finance brokers, valuers, building surveyors, contractors, tax accountants, capital allowances surveyors. We’ll introduce you to the specialists you need.
“Kirsty and her team at KD Commercial helped us source our first commercial asset. As busy professionals and rookies, we struggled to find the right property. We needed an expert who was resourceful and could guide us through this minefield. Kirsty helped us navigate the potholes and get across the finishing line. We highly recommend KD Commercial for commercial property investment.”

HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1:
Investor Questionnaire & Onboarding
We’ll discuss your criteria in detail – location, property type, budget, yield expectations, risk tolerance, and long-term goals.
STEP 2:
We Source & Analyse
Chris and his team use their agent network and market knowledge to find properties that fit. Every option comes fully analysed with a deal summary document.
STEP 3:
Video Calls & Due Diligence
We’ll walk you through each opportunity, answer your questions, and help you assess whether it’s the right move.
STEP 4:
Negotiation & Heads of Terms
Once you’ve chosen a property, we negotiate terms and get heads of terms agreed with the seller.
STEP 5:
Legal Process & Completion
We’ll liaise with your solicitor, chase progress, and support you through to completion.
STEP 6:
Asset Management Plan
Once you own the property, we’ll deliver a strategic plan showing you how to maximise its value going forward.
PRICING
Our Sourcing Fee is based on the property purchase price:
- £24,750 + VAT for properties up to £750k
- £27,500 + VAT for properties £751k – £1.2m
- £35,000 + VAT for properties over £1.2m
The fee is payable in three stages:
- 40% on instruction (non-refundable)
- 30% on instruction of solicitors
- 30% on completion of purchase
Fees can be paid via SIPP/SSAS if you’re investing pension funds.
WHY THIS IS WORTH MORE THAN BASIC SOURCING
Most property sourcers find you a deal, take their fee, and disappear.
You’re left figuring out the legal process on your own. And once you complete, you’re staring at a property with no clear plan for how to actually maximize its value.
You won’t get any education, training, mentoring or introduction to a network of trusted contacts.
Our Sourcing Service is different.
You get support from start to finish – and a roadmap for what to do after you own it.
Our service includes education to help you learn while we do it for you. Via our online Masterclass, deal analysis explained, 1:1 access to commercial surveyors and referrals to other professionals when you need them (including vetted Solicitors who can get deals done!).
That asset management plan alone can add tens (or hundreds) of thousands in additional value. It’s not uncommon for our clients to increase a property’s value by 20-40% through paper-based strategies we outline in the plan.
So yes, you’ll pay more than you would for basic sourcing. But you’ll also get a hell of a lot more.
