AI-powered lettings platform consolidating UK property management through acquisitions
Dwelly is a UK-based lettings platform built on Node.js, TypeScript, and React, targeting the £100 billion UK letting market through acquisition and consolidation of traditional agencies. The tech stack reveals early-stage data maturity (BigQuery, Looker, Power BI, Metabase) paired with monolithic PHP legacy systems—a common post-acquisition pattern. Active hiring across data, HR, and operations (with leadership gaps in those functions) signals the company is mid-integration: standardizing processes across acquired agencies, building HR infrastructure from scratch, and automating payment and reconciliation workflows.

Dwelly operates an AI-first platform designed to streamline the lettings lifecycle—tenant finding, onboarding, rent collection, and property management—for UK letting agencies. The company grows through acquisition of traditional lettings businesses, then consolidates their operations onto a unified technology platform. With 11–50 employees and headquarters in London, Dwelly is executing a multi-year integration roadmap: migrating monolithic PHP systems to service-based architecture, building centralized data infrastructure, and standardizing HR and employment processes across multiple acquired entities. The platform serves mid-market letting agencies and their landlord and tenant users.
Core stack: Node.js, TypeScript, React (frontend), PHP (legacy monolithic system under migration), BigQuery, and GCP for data. Analytics via Looker, Power BI, Tableau, and Metabase. ChatGPT, Slack, and Notion for internal tools.
Migrating from monolithic PHP to microservices, building HR information systems and standardized employment agreements across acquired agencies, developing long-term data platform and central analytics infrastructure, and automating payment and reconciliation workflows.
