Happy homes, happy people. We won’t settle for anything less.
We’re shaking things up.
Our industry is far from perfect, we know it, you know it, so we’re on a mission to make it much, much better. We strongly believe in two things:
-
Whether you’re buying, renting, selling or renting your home, it can be a bumpy road. But it doesn’t have to be. We do everything in our power to make the moving and renting process as hassle free as we can for everyone involved. Happy homes, happy people.
-
Over 11,000 people don’t have homes in London. We want to change that. So a percentage of all Settle's profits support St Mary’s Church, Walthamstow, in their work with Forest Churches Emergency Night Shelter. A collaboration between seven local churches which gives people who are homeless in Waltham Forest a safe place to sleep throughout the winter.

Now, our personal, professional and speedy approach makes finding a place to call home in East London the positive and happy experience it ought to be. Our feedback so far speaks volumes about the difference we’re making. We know seeking perfection in the property industry likely has no end, but we believe it’s a very good place to start.

Mirko Piras
Founder / Lettings Expert
“Property is not just the bricks and mortar; it’s the stories within the walls.”
I started in property by chance after being introduced to it by someone I knew in the industry. But early on, I realised how hugely rewarding it was and how it allowed me to build a confidence that wasn’t there before. This snowballed into an absolute passion — property is a platform where I can be myself while at the same time provide a positive experience for others.
-
As Drake said, “started from the bottom now we’re here”. Beginning at apprentice level, I worked my way up, learning the ins and outs and helping countless people make a home in London. Then, after a decade in the industry and working with Mike for years, we finally actioned our shared vision. We started Settle.
For me, what we do isn’t about money. It’s about building up a positive reputation for the property industry — something we felt it was seriously lacking — and continuing our learning journey. My vision is to leave my mark by building a brand that people can relate to.
-
A house can be a home for generations of different people from different backgrounds and with different stories. It’s an ever-evolving sector where something derelict or in need of work can be given new life and transformed.

Michael Fenton
Founder / Sales Expert
“Changing perceptions, one move at a time.”
Getting into property when I was 19, I instantly fell in love with the job. I’m East London born and bred, and the people-facing aspects of property massively appeal to me, as well as the competition and the balance of being successful whilst maintaining my morals (something that some agents have a bad reputation with). I spent the next 10 years gaining my stride in agencies large and small, investigating all aspects of the market and meeting Mirko on the scene.
-
Together, we took the leap to start Settle. The vision is to create an estate agency with a new energy and bring a new way of doing things to East London. We wanted to start a family-focused company where we treat people with respect, build very strong personal relationships, and give good, honest and real advice. Challenging the established reputation of property, we are passionate agents and genuinely want to help — and we want to elevate the industry to a level where people stop being surprised by this!
The level of support so far has been fantastic and spurs us on every day. With Settle, we have laid the foundations for a company that we can be proud of and conduct business the way we feel is right for everyone we work with.
-
The curiosity of it all. I love meeting so many different types of people: plucky, excited first-time buyers one moment and then wealthy, seasoned property developers the next. Also, delving a bit deeper to understand and learn about the buildings as I have a keen interest in property structure and history.

Our values
Friendly
We love working with people and believe that showing warmth and kindness whenever we can make everyone’s life happier and more enjoyable. We’ll always be a friendly face to talk to, even when things aren’t going as planned.
Passionate
We love what we do. It’s what gets us out of bed in the morning and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We answer late calls, reply to emails as soon as we can and always go above and beyond to get the job done.
Open & fair
We are honest, realistic and fair in the way we work and refuse to play games in order to win. Buying and selling property isn’t always smooth sailing but we’ll always be open with you and we’ll make the right decisions, together.
