Your questions,
answered
What is Ostrich?
Ostrich is a marketplace that connects buyers who can't find the right property on the open market with owners who are considering selling.
By empowering owners to list early, we give buyers access to unique homes long before they reach the market.
Is Ostrich free?
Yes, Ostrich is completely free for buyers.
We make money by charging owners a 1% commission plus VAT if they sell to a buyer we introduce.
Which areas do you cover?
You can explore find across Camden, Hammersmith & Fulham, Hackney, Haringey, Islington, Kensington & Chelsea, Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth and Westminster.
Why do I need to sign up to see properties?
Since our homes aren't listed publicly, we ask you to sign up before viewing full details. This helps protect the privacy of owners who are considering selling.
Once you've registered, you'll be able to see photos, floor plans, and property descriptions.
