We find the deal.
You keep your time.
Tell us your criteria once. We find, appraise and present property deals that actually meet your numbers — fully managed, compliance-first.
Five steps from first hello to a completed deal
A clear, repeatable journey. You'll always know exactly where your deal sits.
Connection
We meet — at a networking event, or you find us here and sign up for the investor pack.
Discovery call
A focused 15-minute discovery call, with an online Discovery Form available if you prefer to communicate by email, to understand your goals, criteria, timeframe and budget — and to make sure we're a good fit before either of us commits.
Consultation call
Using what we learned in discovery, we present a tailored plan showing how Kestrel can help you overcome your challenges and achieve your goals. We discuss the approach, timeframe and fees, answer your questions, and agree the next steps. After the consultation and once you have signed the Kestrel sourcing agreement, we request proof of funds and ID for review before sourcing begins.
Sourcing & Appraisal
We go to work — finding, appraising and assembling a compliant deal pack that meets your agreed criteria, then present it for your decision.
Exchange or Completion & fee
You proceed, and our finder's fee is payable on exchange (private investors) and on completion (corporate investors) — scaled to the deal's ROI, exactly as agreed up front.
Our fee scales with your return
Most sourcers charge the same flat fee whatever the deal does. We don't. A stronger deal for you is a stronger fee for us — so our interests point the same way.
Illustrative only. ROI is defined and agreed in your sourcing agreement before any deal is presented.
- Payable on exchange (private investors) and on completion (corporate investors). The £1,000 non-refundable reservation fee is part of the total finder’s fee; the remaining balance is payable at the applicable stage.
- Defined up front. Exactly how ROI is calculated is written into your agreement — no surprises.
- Independently appraised. Every figure that sets the fee is evidenced with comparables and conservative assumptions.
- Transparent. The full fee table is on the table before you commit a penny.
Built for investors who'd rather not chase deals
Time-poor professionals
You have capital and intent, but not the hours to trawl portals, agents and auctions. We do that part.
Portfolio builders
You know your numbers and want a steady flow of deals that genuinely meet them — not whatever's nearest to market.

Meet Robert Ohayo
Founder, Kestrel Sourcing | Cost Consultant
I’m a cost consultant by training, with over 20 years’ industry experience. My background is on the cost side of construction – the discipline of knowing what a building actually costs to deliver, rather than what a spreadsheet hopes it will.
It’s why Kestrel is built around appraisal. Finding a property is only the beginning. The value is in understanding which deals work, which don’t and saying so before you commit a penny.
I have worked across sectors from new builds, renovations, conversions, heritage, infrastructure, educational and defence projects in the UK. I apply the same discipline to investment opportunities.
You work with me directly, from discovery and consultation through to the deal appraisal.

Start with a few details. We’ll invite you to a discovery call or send an eight-question form if you prefer to respond in writing. A personalised consultation follows. Proof of funds and ID are requested only once the consultation is complete and you have signed the Kestrel sourcing agreement.
