Who are Street Group?

We're an award-winning PropTech business based in Manchester, founded in 2015 by brother-and-sister duo Tom and Heather Staff. Most of us have personal experience of how painful moving can be, and Tom and Heather saw an opportunity to change this: using technology, as well as our incredibly talented team, to improve the industry for everyone.

Our products, Street.co.uk and Spectre, work harmoniously together to transform an agent's job. From securing more leads and winning new instructions to streamlining business operations and growing market share, our products are supercharging thousands of agencies across the UK.

Back in 2015, our Co-Founder, Tom Staff, spent his evenings building Spectre v1.0. He'd seen first-hand an opportunity to automate the very manual process of winning new business for estate agents. Spectre is now our multi-award-winning instruction-generation tool, generating an average return on investment for agents of over 3,000%!
