We have engaged Settio services for 5-6 years now ever since we bought property in UK. Settio was not our first agent that we engaged, but we changed to them due to the great feedback that we had gotten from our friends. They lived up to our expectations, especially with Marcus and Paige, Marcus was very responsive, honest and open about situation of our property, provided valuable insights and guidance during different phases (I.e. changed of tenant, market sentiment, sales of our property). Couldn’t have successfully sold our property without the help of Marcus and Paige who provided tremendous help through the painful sales processes (I.e. documentation, etc). Very responsive, responsible, resourceful, knowledgeable and trust-worthy. You really need someone like him. I highly recommend Settio if you need to buy, sell or even manage your property.
My experience with Settio was disappointing. Following the end of my tenancy, a significant portion of my deposit was claimed for alleged smoke odours, despite the fact that no smoking ever took place inside the property. I strongly disagreed with these allegations and found them to be based on subjective observations rather than clear evidence. Communication throughout the deposit return process was slow, and it took over a month after the tenancy ended before the matter was finally resolved. As a tenant, I felt the process was unnecessarily stressful and time-consuming. While the deposit protection scheme ultimately handled the repayment process, I was left feeling that the check-out assessment and subsequent charges were not entirely fair. Based on my experience, I would advise future tenants to take extensive photographs and videos when moving in and moving out, and to carefully review all inventory reports and deposit deductions.
Amazing experience with Settio, particularly Liam, who has been assisting us with our apartment search over the past few weeks. We’ve dealt with a number of agents, but none have been as thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely consultative as Liam. From the outset, he really took the time to listen and understand our requirements, recommending properties that truly aligned with what we were looking for. His knowledge of Manchester city centre buildings is exceptional, and he has a real talent for matching lifestyle and budget to the right place. He wasn’t just responding to messages or organising viewings—he acted more like a trusted advisor throughout the process. What really stood out was his enthusiasm, patience, and professionalism. Even in a market where demand is high and agents are often primarily representing landlords, Liam clearly takes pride in looking after everyone involved. It’s obvious he builds strong relationships with both tenants and landlords, and I’ve no doubt this results in plenty of repeat business and happy clients all round. If I’m ever looking for a lettings agent in Manchester again—whether as a tenant or a landlord—I’ll be going straight to Settio.
We have been a customer of Settio for several years, and my experience has consistently been excellent. The Settio team is highly experienced and professional in all aspects of property management. Our agent, Erin Morgan, has been outstanding — she is extremely knowledgeable, proactive, and reliable. Erin provides timely updates, offers valuable advice, and always goes the extra mile to ensure the smooth engagement and retention of our tenants. Thanks to her dedication, our unit has enjoyed continuous rental with minimal downtime and a hassle-free process for us as owners. I truly appreciate the high level of service, transparency, and care that Settio delivers. I would highly recommend Settio and Erin Morgan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and competent property management partner
Settio Property Experience has been outstanding. Alessia has managed my UK property with exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and care. Her attention to detail and proactive support gave me complete peace of mind. Special thanks also to Erin, who has been exceptionally responsive and provided great support on the renewal of my Snow Hill Wharf unit. I’m super happy with his service. Highly recommend Settio for anyone seeking reliable and high-quality property management.
