Sydney, NSW 19th May, 2026 – Settld, the post-sale settlement management technology platform purpose-built for Australian property developers, has formed a national strategic partnership with Haven Settlements, a service-led settlement specialist. The partnership pairs Settld’s technology with Haven’s human-led settlement service, targeting a long-standing blind spot in property delivery – the period between contract exchange and handover, where developers lack pipeline visibility and buyers receive little structured communication. The partnership spans off-the-plan apartments, house and land projects, and emerging asset classes including retirement living.
For years, that window has run on spreadsheets, inboxes and ad-hoc coordination, leaving settlement risk hidden until it surfaces, usually too late. The combined Settld-Haven offering replaces that with specialist human expertise operating on a purpose-built technology platform.
Under the partnership, developers seeking a fully-managed service can engage Haven’s settlement specialists to deliver end-to-end settlement management, operating on the Settld platform as their technology layer. Developers gain a single source of truth across finance readiness, document access and buyer communication, with Haven’s experienced team managing the buyer relationship and resolving potential issues that may emerge.
Leor Shavel, Co-Founder and CEO of Settld, said the partnership raises the bar for what developers should expect from settlement.
“Settlement is where reputations are made or lost, and it’s been the most under-resourced phase of property delivery for too long. Haven brings deep settlement expertise and a genuine care for buyers. Settld brings the platform that makes that work scale. Together, we’re giving developers a settlement experience that’s structured, visible and properly resourced across off-the-plan, house and land, and emerging asset classes.”
Emily Fitzgerald, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Haven Settlements, said the partnership was a natural fit.
“Settlement is fundamentally a human moment. It’s where buyers either feel looked after or left in the dark, and that experience shapes how they feel about the developer for years afterwards. What technology has historically failed to do is support that human side rather than replace it. Settld is the first platform we’ve worked with that understands the difference. Partnering with them lets our team spend more time on the conversations that matter and less time chasing information across systems.”
The partnership comes as developers face mounting pressure on settlement performance – from tightening lender requirements through to emerging regulatory oversight in jurisdictions like the ACT. For developers, project marketers and operators across off-the-plan, house and land, and retirement living, the combined Settld-Haven offering provides a clear pathway: branded buyer communication that goes out automatically, document and finance readiness tracked in one place, and a specialist settlement team operating across the pipeline.
Settld launched commercially in mid-2025 and now supports a growing portfolio of developer clients across Australia, with developers reporting more than 200 hours saved per project. The platform now supports off-the-plan apartments and house and land projects, with retirement living pilots commencing with several operators.
The partnership is effective immediately, with a number of joint developer clients already onboarded.
