Dwelly acquires East Midlands lettings company

Dwelly expands on its growing portfolio as the company announces it has acquired an East Midlands lettings company.

Dwelly has acquired East Midlands lettings firm Albery Tyson, marking the company’s fourth acquisition of 2026.

The company continues to gain momentum across the UK lettings market following its recent £69m funding raise, and is currently negotiating around $200m in combined equity and debt financing.

“Having built the business over many years, it was incredibly important to find a partner that understood the value of local relationships and the culture that sits behind a successful independent agency. What stood out with Dwelly was that their approach isn’t about stripping businesses back or removing what made them successful in the first place.

“They genuinely value the people, the reputation and the local knowledge that independent agencies have spent years building. I’m confident that integrating with SBK Lettings will provide clients and landlords with the benefits of stronger operational infrastructure and technology, whilst maintaining the local service and expertise they’ve always known.”

The acquisition adds 250 fully managed properties under Dwelly’s network and further accelartes the company’s growing presence across the Midlands region following its acquirement of SBK Lettings in December 2025.

The acquisition will observe the Albery Tyson portfolio step into SBK Lettings in Market Harborough.

“Following our recent funding raise, there’s naturally been a huge amount of interest from agency owners exploring what their next step might look like. But for us, acquisitions have never simply been about scale.

“What we look for are businesses with strong local foundations, great people and a reputation that has been built over many years within the communities they serve.

“The Albery Tyson portfolio is a great fit in that respect and further strengthens the excellent platform already established through SBK Lettings within the Midlands market.

“Our approach is centred around supporting and empowering strong local businesses and we believe the people within these businesses are the real value. Our role is to give them the tools, technology and operational support to continue growing at a higher level.”
