Uk Letting Agency Settio Launches Service Build Rent Institutional Investors
Being situated in an area identified by the URA Master Plan has great potential for investment. With the development of amenities, infrastructure, and connectivity in Sembawang, the value of properties is expected to increase. This makes the Sembawang Road EC not only a desirable residence but also a strategic asset for long-term capital growth. The existence of Sembawang Road EC at Canberra MRT adds to the appeal of the neighbourhood as it is a part of Singapore’s future growth story, supported by ongoing government initiatives and plans. Buyers can have confidence in their investment as they become a part of the thriving community in Sembawang.
Settio, a prominent letting agency headquartered in Manchester, is expanding its services to meet the needs of institutional investors and funds in the UK’s Build-to-Rent (BTR) sector. The company recently announced the launch of Settio Living, which aims to provide operational services to institutional investors and funds who acquire BTR buildings. These services will include faster lease-up, higher occupancy rates, and improved resident retention.
Settio Living is an expansion of the firm’s offerings in the private residential sector (PRS). With a focus on overseas clientele, Settio currently supports over 2,500 individual landlords with their UK residential investments. The company prides itself on providing “total peace of mind” to PRS clients through its comprehensive range of services, from off-plan investment support to future resale.
Currently, Settio has offices in Manchester, London, and Singapore, with plans to open a Birmingham location later this year. With a property portfolio worth over GBP 525 million ($908 million), Settio is a significant player in the industry.
In the past, Settio has dipped its toes into the BTR sector by assisting operators with lease-up efforts at notable developments such as Legal & General’s Slate Yard in Salford and Vita Group’s Union and Uhaus in Manchester.
Samuel Fitz-Hugh, co-founder of Settio, explains the motivation behind the launch of Settio Living: “The BTR sector has experienced rapid growth in the last five years, and with any new product or service, it’s essential to reflect on what can be done better, more efficiently, and more profitably. Settio Living brings a fresh and innovative approach to the table, delivering better results for investors and the communities they serve.”
