Challenges & Goals of Selling the Estate Agency

AP Morgan built a strong presence in the Redditch property market, developing a substantial lettings portfolio of over 450 managed properties alongside an established sales operation.

Awais Ahmad, the main contact throughout the process, made the decision to sell the lettings side of the business in order to focus fully on the sales division.

The goal was to achieve a clean and well-managed partial exit, ensuring the lettings portfolio was transferred to a capable operator while maintaining continuity for landlords and tenants. It was also important that the transition allowed the remaining sales business to continue operating without disruption.

Atomic Consultancy’s Approach

Atomic Consultancy led the deal with Lucy Noonan and Jason Davy at the helm, working closely with Awais Ahmad from AP Morgan to carry out a detailed valuation and position the portfolio effectively within the market.

With over 450 managed properties, the business attracted strong interest from buyers looking for high-quality, scalable lettings portfolios. Atomic introduced the opportunity to a targeted network and identified Dwelly as a strong strategic fit.

Throughout the process, Atomic managed negotiations, maintained clear communication between all parties, and ensured alignment across both sides of the transaction. Their hands-on approach helped keep the process moving efficiently, supporting a smooth transition of the portfolio while allowing the sales arm of the business to continue operating.
