LRG has acquired Doolittle & Dalley, a long-established family-run estate agency operating across Kidderminster and Bridgnorth, further strengthening its regional network and expanding into a new territory west of Birmingham.

Founded more than 130 years ago, Doolittle & Dalley has remained continuously family-operated for over 100 years, by the same family still working within the company today. Offering residential sales, lettings, commercial lettings and block management, it has built a strong reputation across the local market through generations of involvement in the communities it serves.

Known for its experienced team, strong local knowledge and long-standing client relationships, many customers have returned to Doolittle & Dalley over decades. Its longevity and reputation have made it a well-established name across the region.

The acquisition brings another established regional business into LRG’s growing network, with all staff transferring to LRG following completion.
The business will continue to operate under the Doolittle & Dalley name, retaining the local identity and reputation it has built over many decades.

Matthew Light, Group Mergers & Acquisitions Director at LRG, commented, “Doolittle & Dalley is a business with real history in its local market. It has remained trusted within the community for generations, which says a great deal about the strength of the team and the relationships they have built over time. The strength of the Doolittle & Dalley name has been built over decades through consistency, reputation and local relationships, and that is exactly what attracted us to the business.”

Michael Cook, Chief Executive Officer at LRG, commented, “This acquisition strengthens our presence in an important new area for LRG and adds another well-established regional business to the group. Doolittle & Dalley has built a strong position locally through consistency, experience and service, and those qualities make it a natural fit for our network.”

Richard Hall, Director at Dolittle & Dalley, commented, “Doolittle & Dalley has always focused on local knowledge, long-term relationships and providing a consistent service to clients across the region. In considering the future of the business, the priority was to find the right long-term home for Doolittle & Dalley, with the strength and stability to support both staff and clients. LRG stood out because it shares our focus on local relationships and consistent service, while bringing the support, scale and experience to help the business continue building on its strong local position.”

This acquisition reflects LRG’s continued focus on expanding its full-service estate agency offering, with ongoing interest in partnering with high-quality businesses across sales, lettings and property management.
