Dwelly Acquires Albery Tyson After £69m Funding, Expands Midlands Portfolio

Lettings firm Dwelly has acquired Midlands-based Albery Tyson, marking its fourth acquisition of 2026 following a £69 million funding raise earlier this year. The transaction adds approximately 250 fully managed properties to Dwelly’s portfolio and expands its presence in the Midlands region.

The Albery Tyson portfolio will be integrated into SBK Lettings in Market Harborough, which Dwelly acquired last year. This move is part of Dwelly’s ongoing consolidation strategy, which targets independent lettings agencies with established local market presence and existing client bases.

Dwelly has stated that it is investing in operational systems and AI-based technology aimed at reducing administrative tasks and improving operational efficiency. The company indicated that it has received significant interest from agency owners since securing its recent funding.

This acquisition reflects broader consolidation trends in the UK property management sector, with increased regional expansion and changes in management at industry firms. The integration of smaller independent agencies into larger platforms with enhanced technology infrastructure is contributing to changes in the lettings management landscape, particularly as regulatory requirements and operational costs continue to rise for property managers.
