Dwelly

Every exit is a new beginning

Helping great lettings agents exit… then taking their business to the next level

We built, ran and sold a tech-enabled lettings agency before starting Dwelly

The story behind Dwelly

Renting shouldn’t be a headache. We’ve felt the pain as tenants and seen the gaps as letting agents, where commission-chasing often takes priority over real care. So we chose a different path: acquiring good local agencies and giving them the tech and breathing room they need to look after people first.

Dwelly lives where hands-on know-how meets smart software. By pairing experienced teams with AI-powered tools, we’re making everyday lettings — payments, maintenance, peace of mind — ten times better right now for tenants, landlords, and the agents who serve them.
