Editorial context
Working with a provider in Manchester – what matters
When appointing an estate agent in Manchester with a focus on lettings and property management, first establish the scope of service required. Finding tenants, managing a property during a tenancy and assisting with a later sale are different tasks. With a provider such as Settio that combines these areas, it is important to establish which services are included in the specific instruction and who is responsible for each stage.
For a management model described as all-inclusive, owners should request a written breakdown of services and costs. Points to clarify include repair arrangements, spending approval limits, regular reporting and any services charged separately. For owners living outside the UK, accessible contacts, agreed communication channels and the availability of their preferred language are also relevant.
Given the documented focus on new-build and off-plan property, prospective clients should distinguish between estimated rents and rents actually achieved. Market assumptions, ongoing building costs and the expected completion date can affect an investment assessment. Rental estimates alone are not a substitute for reviewing the individual property.
Prospective tenants should, where possible, view the actual apartment being offered and document its condition and fittings. It is also useful to ask how maintenance issues are reported and who handles urgent repairs before signing an agreement. The supplied review selection describes differing experiences of communication and support. Reviews can therefore provide useful pointers, but should be considered alongside current documentation and direct enquiries.

Settio has been my agents since inception of renting out my property in early 2024 and they are very professional, very easy to work with. They make the entire process very seamless for me as landlord. I would like to especially commend Erin Morgan. She has been absolutely wonderful. Very responsive to questions, she explains how things work in an easy to understand way, and she goes above and beyond to ensure clients are satisfied and well served. She even goes beyond her own job role and goes wherever the information or result is in Settio to bring it to her clients. She is simply wonderful! Double thumbs up Erin👍👍
It was a pleasure working with Liam from the Manchester office of Settio for a new flat rental we needed. He was extremely prompt, arranged multiple viewings for us and answered our questions right away, even well outside of office hours. Everyone else we met were lovely too. Highly recommended.
I have rented with Settio for two years, and my experience has been incredibly frustrating. Communication has consistently been poor, maintenance issues have taken far too long to resolve, and there has been very little sense of urgency whenever we've needed help. When we had to move from one apartment to another in the same building, we relied on the photos provided by Settio because there were very few apartments available at the end of our tenancy, and we didn't have time to view the new one beforehand. The apartment we moved into was not what was advertised. The living room looked completely different, and there were carpets pinned to the floor that were never shown in the listing. It felt misleading, and we would never have chosen that if we'd known. Not long after moving in, we discovered two separate leaks in the apartment. Despite repeatedly reporting them and sending numerous
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.
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.

Services in this field explained
A valuation estimates the price a property can achieve on the market, based on location, condition, size, fittings and comparable sales.
What does a valuation cost? Many agents offer an initial estimate free of charge. A formal market value report by a certified surveyor is paid; the fee depends on the property and effort.
When you sell, an agent handles valuation, exposé, viewings, negotiation and the notary appointment.
Who pays the agent's commission? When flats and single-family houses are sold to consumers, the commission is generally split between seller and buyer (§ 656c German Civil Code).
When letting, an agent takes care of listing, viewings, tenant selection and the tenancy agreement.
Who pays the agent when letting? Since 2015 the “orderer pays” principle applies to residential lettings: usually the landlord pays when they hired the agent.
