Property Sourcing Liverpool
"I bought my first-ever BRRR deal with Dom in October 2023. I found him via his website and felt drawn to the concept of truly BMV properties. Dom was so helpful throughout the process. He viewed the property for me, secured the price pre-auction, and helped me throughout the conveyancing and insurance process. I bought the property for £75,000 and just got it revalued at £115,000 after 6 months, a 50%+ return. I've not done any work to the property, and the existing tenant is long-term and has looked after the property well.
I highly recommend Dom's services. As a London-based investor, it's so useful to have that local expertise in Liverpool and someone on the ground to view, make offers, and have pre-existing relationships with the auction houses. Once I refinance and build up some capital, I'll definitely be back!

"I've been with Dom and his team since 2021, and have been extremely pleased with his advice, guidance, and property expertise. I've made 3 property purchases through Dom so far, with more to come in due course, the best so far being a purchase for £65,000 valued during raising a mortgage a few months later at £95,000, with no renovation being required!
I foolishly initially started my journey into property investment in Liverpool through some London agents, backed by several visits to Liverpool and paper investigation. The agents presented themselves very well, and had a good story to tell, but my experience with them has been fraught with issues and a great deal of post-purchase stress. All were near disasters and took a lot of work to recover from.
Contrast that with my experience with Dom, where all my investments have been successful, and with none of the post-purchase drama and stress associated with the London agents.
Dom has a killer combination of skills.
He has very strong local knowledge, strong academics (and more importantly years of subsequent practical experience of successful property investment), which has led to successful investments for me. He has a way to cut through the noise and speak plainly and with focus, and has been a real pleasure to work with. I look forward to further investments under his guidance."

Retail v Wholesale Property Investment
There are no great deals in estate agents' windows or on Rightmove or Zoopla. Retail investors buy properties at market value.
Wholesale investors buy distressed assets at prices significantly below market value. These are not found in the retail market but wholesale at auction, genuine off-market (beware of the 'off-market illusion'), receivers, administrators, probate, mortgagee in possession, bridging companies, etc...
Tuna Fish Property only sources property in the wholesale market, not retail, so the yields we present to clients are double digits and are market-beating.
An Enviable Track Record over 16 Years in Distressed Assets
Here are a few examples of our track record sourcing properties in Liverpool for clients based worldwide and a bit closer to home in Merseyside. We have been doing this for property investors since 2008 and for ourselves much longer. Some are debt for assets swaps, call option properties, auctions and off-market through many of our contacts whom we have worked with for decades.
Some buy-to-let properties are already tenanted, others are now on the Tuna Fish Property guaranteed rent scheme, while Tuna Fish has refurbished others for clients following a Buy, Refurbish, Refinance and Rent (BRRR) property investment strategy.

Experts in Property Sourcing Liverpool
Property Sourcing Liverpool
Property sourcing is the process whereby an investor instructs a property investment company to research and acquire buy to let or development properties in return for a fee. Fees vary considerably and you should enquire at the outset and also ask to see a copy of the contract. You should not pay any fees upfront to a property sourcing company.
Tuna Fish Property sources buy to let Liverpool investment properties at property auctions, through receivers (bankruptcies), and off-market. We are also experts in distressed assets. We also have the team in place, including a mortgage/bridging advisor, to guide you through a Buy, Refurb, Refinance and Rent (BRRR) strategy. We do not use Rightmove, Zoopla or On the Market, the avenues open to almost anyone with a laptop or phone and rarely have the bargains serious investors look for.
We have been buying, developing, and selling distressed properties for 14 years and involved in on-market property investment opportunities long before that.
Tuna Fish Property now sources genuine below-market property deals for clients in the 'distressed market' Our recent acquisitions have been from corporates selling to raise funds and they wanted to do that quickly, as interest rates increased.
We usually source freehold houses requiring little work, as the costs of acquisition are a known quantity, but will also source leasehold apartments, if the deal is right, like the example below:
Liverpool Property Sourcing
Recent Example: November 2022.
Fully furnished Liverpool city centre studio apartment sourced for £25,000 and rents for £475 pcm, a gross yield of 23%

The property on the left was a former illegal cannabis farm which we purchased for just £45,000 two years ago. Today, we would look to sell it for £110,000, an uplift of £65,000. It is presently being converted into serviced accommodation.
It's a great example of what we look for - something unusual which can offer value. As an investor, you are looking for 'problem properties' which deter the competition but can be fixed relatively quickly and inexpensively, adding significant value.
Repossessed Houses Sale in Liverpool
There are lots of bank-repossessed properties around if you know where to look. Sadly, the owners have long gone and the 'mortgagee in possession' is looking for a firm and reliable buyer. Often, these properties are auctioned, something we have considerable experience buying. Further details are here:

There is no need to travel to Liverpool or Wirral, as most of our buy to let non-UK Residents do not, as we provide a comprehensive investment report, including a video commentary of the property. If the property requires renovation, we can organise and project manage it, as your trusted partner on the ground.
After completion, Tuna Fish can market the property for rental and also provide a rental guarantee should you wish.
We can advise on solicitors, mortgage brokers, contractors, and insurance brokers and what you need to have in place to make the property legally compliant for the rental market. Further details are here: Letting Agents in Liverpool

Property Sourcing Liverpool FAQ
Liverpool Property Sourcing
Tuna Fish Property is a great believer in having a property investment strategy and defining it right at the start of the buy to let Liverpool journey.
There are many options, but it is best to have a sharp focus on which type of property will deliver your goals. Is it a HMO? A development opportunity? A flip, or building a sustainable long-term property investment portfolio?
These are all areas we can discuss on Zoom, in order to clearly define your plan for successful property investment in Liverpool
Property Development
This property which is in a good part of Liverpool was sourced for a retained client at a remarkable price - the large house is about 2000 sq ft and the overall cost is an incredible £48 per sq ft.
We have a number of options - flats or a large HMO - and there is a good plot of land at the rear. Tuna Fish Property will undertake the works and then let and manage the property for the client.
