Dwelly

Dwelly acquires established independent lettings agencies across the United Kingdom and modernises them with AI-powered software, while retaining the acquired firm's local brand and client relationships. Founded in 2023, the company has completed five acquisitions and now oversees more than 1,500 properties under management. It is angel-backed, with investors drawn from Uber, Airbnb, Gett, Snap and McKinsey backgrounds.

Its principal product, the Dwelly agency platform, embeds AI tools into acquired agencies to automate rent collection, maintenance coordination and compliance work. The stated aim is to transform outdated agency operations into modern platforms within two months of acquisition, leaving agents more time to attend to tenants and landlords.

The company was founded by former Uber and Gett executives who previously built and sold a technology-enabled lettings agency. Its approach to acquisitions is to preserve existing brands and staff rather than rebrand them, and to offer agency owners an exit that protects the reputations they have built over decades.

Technical work at Dwelly spans AI-powered property management software and automation across rent collection, maintenance coordination and compliance.
