As part of Dwelly’s “accelerated” 2026 growth plan, it has acquired Peterborough-based Brookdale Property Management, adding yet another established lettings operation to its UK portfolio.
It brings an additional 1,100 fully managed properties into the group, which now manages around 10,000 homes nationwide.
Sam Humphreys (pictured right), Head of M&A at Dwelly, says: “2025 was a pivotal year for Dwelly. We quietly built momentum, acquired six exceptional businesses and laid the foundations for what comes next.
Clear focus on doubling the number of businesses within the Dwelly family.”
“As we move into 2026, we’re exiting stealth mode and significantly accelerating our acquisition strategy, with a clear focus on doubling the number of businesses within the Dwelly family.”
He adds: “Brookdale Property Management is a fantastic example of the type of business we’re looking to partner with. It’s well run, has a strong local reputation and a committed team in place.
“We’re delighted that Richard is staying on to lead the business forward, and we want to thank Dave for building such a respected operation.”
Brookdale was founded and led by Dave Curtis (pictured left), and is a well-established lettings business with long-standing landlord relationships in the local rental market.
Curtis will retire following the acquisition, while the remaining leadership team will continue to lead the office “into the next chapter” and provide continuity for clients, landlords and staff.
incredibly proudCurtis says: “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built at Brookdale over the years, particularly the level of service and care we’ve always put at the heart of the business.
“I’m confident that joining Dwelly is the right next step for Brookdale’s future. Their approach to growth and their commitment to supporting both clients and teams within the businesses they acquire aligned perfectly with what I wanted for the business.”
The deal was brokered by Atomic Consultancy, with Trust Audit providing audit and compliance support throughout the transaction.
