Premium residential lettings and management business Settio has opened an office in Birmingham to serve a rising number of investors and tenants in its growing property portfolio.

Located at 55 Colmore Row in the heart of the city’s business district, the office will be overseen by experienced London manager, Matt Harkin.

Settio has operated in Birmingham since 2022 but said it decided to open a permanent location because the city offers investors a thriving residential property market with further growth potential and its growing client base continue to diversify investments between Manchester, London and Birmingham.

The firm’s property portfolio in Birmingham is dominated by premium new build sites, including Glasswater Locks and Snowhill Wharf by Berkeley St Joseph and South Central by Regal Property Group, alongside The Forge, The Bank and East Timber Yard.

Founded in Manchester in 2017 and with offices in London and Singapore supporting investors in the capital and Asia-Pacific region, Settio employs more than 50 staff to support more than 2,500 clients with a comprehensive sales, lettings and management package for UK residential investments. 

Daniel de Abreu, managing director of Settio, said: “Having enjoyed a satellite presence in Birmingham for several years, now was the right time to cement our presence with a permanent home to serve the needs of our investors and tenants in a property investment hot-spot.

“We take great pride in delivering an exceptional property experience for investors and tenants, with a culture of professionalism, excellence, transparency, collaboration, innovation and client care. These core values drive our growth, enhance our reputation and guide every decision we make, setting a new benchmark for excellence in UK residential property.”
