Where Settlewell started

A home abroad is exciting. Its bills are not: new providers, contracts in Spanish and that nagging feeling you're paying too much.

Settlewell grew out of Workwide, the cross-border firm our founder Simon Nilsson built and led for a decade, moving people abroad for companies like Apple, Mercedes-Benz and Meta. The move was always the easy part; getting settled wore people down. Then in 2022 he made his own move to Spain and found it harder than it should have been. So he built Settlewell to fix that: power, water, internet, banking and insurance, set up in plain English, whether you're here for the summers or for good.

The people behind Settlewell

Settlewell is an independent company, so we only ever recommend the option that's best for you. Our switching team, built through a strategic partnership with Selectra, is made for people who make their home in Spain from abroad.

Our joint team at work in Spain

Selectra brings one of Europe's biggest home-services operations. We bring years of experience helping people settle in a new country. Combined, that's one international team of English-speaking advisers with direct access to the Spanish market, so you get better deals and faster answers without the language barrier.

Built on a few firm principles

Settling into a home abroad should feel exciting

A place in a new country should feel like an adventure, not a pile of phone calls, contracts, and local rules to untangle.

Clear beats clever

People don’t need “relocation complexity”. They need plain-English steps, honest options, and someone making the next move obvious.

Trust is earned locally

We only recommend providers and services we’d be comfortable sending a friend to, and we keep checking, because one bad handover damages everything.

We stay around after the switch

Prices change and contracts renew. When it's time to look at your bills again, we're a WhatsApp message away.

“A place in Spain should be the part you look forward to, not weeks lost to phone queues and hold music. Holiday home or new home, we built Settlewell so you can arrive, settle in, and actually enjoy it.”
