Dwelly has accelerated its acquisition drive with the purchase of Goodwin Property Services marking its second deal of 2026 as it pushes ahead with plans to build a scaled national lettings platform.
The Stamford-based agency oversees around 330 fully managed rental properties and operates a residential sales arm, both of which form part of the transaction.
The move follows Dwelly’s first acquisition of the year and underlines the group’s intention to expand rapidly through the addition of established, service-led businesses.
Goodwin has built a long-standing presence in its local market, supported by established landlord relationships and a focus on customer service. Founder Simon Burton (main picture, left) will remain involved to support the transition and provide continuity for landlords, vendors and staff.
OPERATIONAL SUPPORT
The deal was brokered by Adam Walker, with audit support provided by Lets Acquire.
Simon Burton, Founder of Goodwin Property, says: “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.”
FANTASTIC REPUTATION
Sam Humphries (main picture, right), Head of M&A at Dwelly, adds: “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.”
