Settio

Settio, estate agency and property management company in the UK

Settio is a British estate agency founded in 2017 by Chris Parsonage and Samuel Fitz-Hugh. The company presents itself as an alternative to traditional models in the sector and structures its activity around three types of clients: investors, developers and tenants. Its proposition combines portfolio management, consultative sales services and lettings management, with streamlined processes and a stated policy of no hidden costs.

Services for investors

For investors, the firm offers a comprehensive property management service and consultative support in the purchase and sale of UK properties, bringing these operations under one provider. The company declares full transparency on costs and presents its flagship service, The Settio Experience, as an all-inclusive fee model aimed at maximising return on investment without unexpected expenses.

Specialisation in new-build developments

Settio defines itself as a new-build specialist and works with developers throughout the entire off-plan purchasing process. Its support covers the organisation of sales events, the provision of market data and the preparation of estimated rental valuations. The company notes that its international presence and multilingual team enable it to work with developers based outside the UK.

Lettings management and tenant care

In the lettings segment, the agency manages residential developments across the UK and offers its tenants exclusive services and perks, as well as support aimed at those seeking homes in prime locations. The site includes a dedicated channel for current tenants with the option to report issues.

Portfolio size and international reach

The company values the properties under its management at more than £604 million and reports that 1,863 tenants moved into a home in 2025. It also states it has more than 2,588 clients from 17 countries. Its office network includes locations in Manchester, London and Birmingham, plus a base in the Asia-Pacific region, in Singapore.
