Core offering

Settio delivers an all-inclusive property management and lettings service for UK residential property investors, covering the full investment lifecycle from completion through tenant sourcing, referencing, tenancy management, maintenance, rent collection, renewals, and eventual sales. The company also partners with property developers to support off-plan sales and post-completion lettings, while serving tenants searching for managed rental homes across Manchester, London, and Birmingham.

Product overview

Settio is a unified property management and investment services platform that offers a comprehensive suite of services under its core Property Management & Investment Services brand. The flagship offering, The Settio Experience, provides an all-inclusive end-to-end service covering investor onboarding, property completion, advertising, tenancy management, ongoing management, client accounting, rent reviews, and sales exit. The platform serves three main customer segments: investors (who buy, manage, and sell UK properties), developers (who receive off-plan sales support and management partnerships), and tenants (who rent managed properties). Services are delivered across UK hub cities (Manchester, London, Birmingham) with an international presence in Singapore, supported by a team of ARLA Propertymark qualified professionals. The platform integrates with third-party tools including Fixflo for maintenance reporting, Reposit for deposit alternatives, Trustpilot for reviews, and Rightmove for property listings.

Broad incumbents

• Knight Frank: Global property advisor with a UK residential lettings and management arm focused on prime central London and international landlords. Comparable to Settio on serving international property investors in the UK and on premium new-build partnerships.
• Savills: Global real estate services firm with UK residential lettings and management for HNW and international investors. Comparable to Settio's international-investor segment and premium London/new-build mandates, but operating at far larger scale and with broader advisory services.
• Connells Group: Largest UK estate agency and lettings group, with a sizeable property management book across many cities. Comparable to Settio in residential management scope and multi-city footprint, but at vastly larger scale and as an incumbent roll-up acquirer (the buyer in Settio's case via Dwelly).

Direct peers

• Winkworth: UK franchised estate agency and lettings business focused on residential sales, lettings, and management. Comparable to Settio on premium urban residential mandates and on offering a full-service management experience to investor-landlords.
• Hunters Property Group: UK-wide estate agency and lettings group with a strong management and new-build developer referral motion. Comparable to Settio in the residential investment-property and developer-partnership segments across multiple UK cities.
• Foxtons: Premium London-centric estate agency with a sizable lettings and property management book. Comparable to Settio's premium-city positioning (Canary Wharf, Battersea), all-inclusive service ethos, and sales-plus-lettings cross-sell motion.
• Belvoir Group: UK residential lettings, sales, and property management franchise network. Highly comparable to Settio's core model of full-service residential management for landlords, with a similar B2B channel-partner ethos and ARLA-affiliated operations.
• Martin & Co: UK national lettings and property management franchise with a large managed-portfolio book. Closely comparable to Settio on service scope (lettings, management, sales), landlord target customer, and ARLA Propertymark-aligned professional standards.

Emerging players

• Purplebricks: Tech-enabled UK estate agency combining self-serve online tools with local agents. Comparable to Settio in the digital property search portal, transparent-fee positioning, and ambition to disrupt the traditional high-street agency model, though with a sales-led (not management-led) core.
• Goodlord: UK proptech platform providing referencing, contract generation, and rent collection software to letting agents. Comparable to Settio's tech-enabled service ethos (Fixflo, online portal, Fixflo-style workflows) and target of professionalising UK lettings, though Goodlord is a B2B SaaS vendor rather than a managed-service competitor.
