Northern Ireland property letting agency marks 'an important milestone in its expansion journey' with the acquisition of key rental portfolios in Belfast and Edinburgh

In late spring, Quicklet acquired the rental portfolio of Key One Property, fully integrating the properties into its Belfast branch. This move significantly strengthens Quicklet’s service offering to landlords and tenants across Northern Ireland.

Following this, in early summer, Quicklet (under the Albany Lettings brand) made its third move into the Scottish market with the acquisition of Five Management Edinburgh. The properties are now operating under the Albany Lettings brand, giving the company an established base in Edinburgh's competitive rental market.

Dermot O’Hanlon, co-founder and director at Quicklet, who launched the firm in 2009 alongside friend Gavin McEvoy, said the acquisitions mark a major step forward in the company’s long-term vision.

He explained: ​“Our growth isn’t just about adding more properties, it’s about strengthening our ability to deliver exceptional service, winning for our landlords, tenants and for our team.

“The integration of Key One Property’s rental portfolio in Belfast and Five Management in Edinburgh represents an important milestone in our expansion journey.

"We’re excited about the opportunities these acquisitions bring for our team, our landlords, and our tenants.”

Founded in Lurgan, Quicklet opened its first office in 2009 before expanding to Belfast in 2011. In 2016, the company opened a branch in Lisburn, cementing its local presence.

Now, with offices across Northern Ireland and a new foothold in Scotland, Quicklet is executing its broader strategy to grow its managed portfolio in key regions while maintaining its highly personal, locally focused service model.

The company also emphasises that ongoing expansion supports investment in its people, with a continued commitment to customer care.
