About Street Group

Street Group builds software for estate and letting agents. Its main product is Street.co.uk, a customer relationship management system, or CRM, which is the place where an agency keeps track of the people it is selling and letting homes for, the properties, the viewings and the offers. Around that it offers Spectre, a tool for finding new clients, a lettings CRM, property management and client accounting, mobile apps for agents and their customers, connections to other services, and an AI product called Cortex that lets customers build and run their own AI helpers. It says it serves thousands of agency branches across the UK.

The company was founded by the siblings Tom and Heather Staff, who are co-chief executives. It started life as Agent Software and was renamed Street Group in December 2020. The company says its goal is to give estate and letting agents better tools to grow their businesses and serve their clients, and to become the "software and AI platform of choice" for UK agents. Heather Staff points to "customer obsession" as the heart of how it works, and an investor describes a "culture of innovation". In 2021 the company said its software was designed with effortless communication in mind, so that agents can give their customers a smooth experience.

Street Group is a Manchester business. Its registered office is in the city centre, and in 2021 a trade article described a headquarters in the Northern Quarter where the company had doubled its headcount. It sells only to UK agents, so its customers are spread from small independent high-street agencies to larger groups across the country. Manchester has a large and growing technology scene, which is one reason the north of England has become a real centre for property software. We found no reliable current staff number, so we have not stated one.

In 2021 the company was named in two lists of good places to work, the UK's 100 Best Small Companies to Work For and Technology's 50 Best Companies to Work For, according to a trade report. A sales CRM was launched in November 2020 and, the same report said, the customer base grew by half in a year. These are claims and third-party lists from 2021, so treat them as a snapshot rather than a current picture. The report also names a Head of Data, which shows that data and analytics sit alongside software engineering in the company.

The roles in a software company like this go well beyond coding. Developers and testers build the products, designers shape how they look and feel, data and AI specialists work on tools like Cortex, and product managers decide what to build next. Customer success and support staff help agents learn the system, and sales, marketing, finance and people teams keep the business running. If you are curious about technology and want to see it used in a real, everyday industry, a property software company is a good place to look. Check the company's own website for its current roles.
