London PropTech firm Dwelly has completed its sixth deal of 2026.
Dwelly, which announced a £69m ($93m) funding deal in February 2026, has added Move Property Sales & Lettings to its growing portfolio.
Following a series of acquisitions, Dwelly aims to consolidate and dominate the £100bn UK lettings market.
Dwelly was founded by Ilia Drozdov, Dan Lifshits and Dmitry Khanukov.
Lifshits said the acquisition will add around 1,100 fully managed properties across three branches to its AI-powered rental marketplace.
The move also strengthens Dwelly’s footprint in Cheltenham and the wider South West.
Lifshits said: “We sought Move out. They’ve built a strong local reputation over many years, with real relationships in the market and a team that runs the day-to-day properly.
“The hard part, earning trust in Cheltenham, is already done, and we have a lot of respect for the standards the team has protected.
“Our approach with Move will be the same as everywhere else. The agency keeps delivering the service it’s known for, and we improve what sits behind the scenes with better technology and AI-led workflows.
“Less manual admin, less of the endless chasing that eats up the week, more time on landlords, tenants and growth. Our job is to make a good team faster, not to get in their way.
“It’s another step in modernising how letting agencies operate in the UK.”
Dwelly co-founder and CEO Ilia Drozdov added: “Nobody remembers the day an acquisition was announced. People remember whether things got better afterward.
“The test for us starts now. In six months, the Move team should have noticeably less admin on their plates, not a pile of new systems to fight with. Landlords and tenants shouldn’t notice a handover at all, just faster responses.
“So the team keeps doing what they’re good at, which is service and relationships, while we work on the plumbing underneath: cleaner workflows, AI taking over the chasing and the paperwork.”
