Settled launches second funding round
April 5, 2016
The online property platform Settled, which launched last year, is now looking for an additional £1m in investment from funds or venture companies to invest in marketing the business and improving its platform.
Settled was launched by brother and sister team Gemma and Paul Young, the aim was to connect buyers and sellers who would take control of their own sales, not just an online version of a High Street agent.
It has recently been reported that it has now facilitated the sales of £38m worth of homes and claims to save sellers an average of £4,200 in fees and costs over a normal agency, they are able to do this by charging a flat fee for their service of £299.
