Ambitious agency completes second strategic acquisition of the year – London Wallet

PropTech platform Dwelly has announced its second acquisition of 2026 with the purchase of Goodwin Property Services, advancing its strategy to expand its national lettings platform. The deal follows the firm’s first acquisition of the year and builds on the growth achieved during 2025.

Based in Stamford, Goodwin Property Services manages around 330 rental properties and operates a residential sales division. Founder Simon Burton will remain involved to ensure continuity for clients, landlords, and staff as the business joins the Dwelly Group.

The acquisition strengthens Dwelly’s national footprint and supports its aim of increasing the number of businesses on its platform. The group has also secured £69m in new funding to support further acquisitions and to expand its AI-powered operating platform.

Dwelly’s model involves acquiring independent agencies and integrating its AI system to digitise rent collection, maintenance, and tenant-landlord matching. After completing eight acquisitions in under a year, the group now manages over 10,000 properties, placing it among the UK’s 15 largest letting agents.

Simon Burton, founder of Goodwin Property, commented: “Providing a great service to landlords and home sellers across Stamford and the wider area has always been our key focus at Goodwin, and it’s something that’s shaped the business from the very beginning.

“This core identity was something I simply wasn’t willing to compromise on and, from the outset, it was clear that Dwelly places real importance on maintaining the DNA of the businesses they acquire, whilst introducing the technology and operational support that helps them continue to evolve.

“That gave me complete confidence that Goodwin is in the right hands moving forward.”

Sam Humphries, head of M&A at Dwelly, commented: “We’re delighted to have acquired another high-quality business so early in 2026 and it’s a deal that will help maintain the acquisition momentum we’ve built consistently over the last year.

“Goodwin is a business that has earned a fantastic reputation within its local market, built on consistently delivering for its landlords and home sellers over many years. Those are exactly the kinds of foundations we look for when bringing a business into the Dwelly Group.

“Our role is to support that success, providing the technology and infrastructure that allows the team to continue delivering the same high standards, while also helping the business operate more efficiently.”
