Umega group is on the hunt for further acquisitions following its purchase of Dundee lettings agency Easylets in the summer.<\/p>\n
The Easylets deal was was completed three months ago but has just been made public. It became the sixth agency to join the group since 2015.<\/p>\n
Easylets founder Jack Reavley remains a shareholder and continues to lead the business in Dundee, backed by Umega\u2019s marketing, technology and operations teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cI built Easylets over 25 years and I wasn\u2019t ready to walk away from it,\u201d said Mr Reavley. \u201cWith Umega I didn\u2019t have to. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m now a partner in the business and I\u2019m still here for our landlords, but I\u2019m spending far less time on the day to day and far more on the parts I love and where I can have the most impact. Having Umega\u2019s marketing team behind us has been a real step change.\u201d<\/p>\n
The combined group now manages more than 3,800 homes across Edinburgh, East Lothian and Dundee, making it the second-largest residential lettings business in Scotland.<\/p>\n
Andy Whitmey, co-founder and chief revenue officer at Umega, said: \u201cWe\u2019re actively looking to move into new territories across Scotland and for further acquisitions in Edinburgh and Dundee. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf you own a lettings agency anywhere in Scotland and you\u2019re starting to think about what comes next, I\u2019d welcome a confidential conversation where we can discuss possible ways forward for you that you might not have thought were possible. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no pressure and no obligation. Just an honest chat about what you want and how we could make it work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commenting on the Easylets deal, Neil McInnes, co-founder and managing director of Umega, said: \u201cThis was never just about a great deal for Jack. It\u2019s about how we can combine our expertise and resources to make things even better for Easylets customers and the team, without losing what they already have. Easylets is a well established name in Dundee and we never considered changing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
