How it works
Laura struggles to find her dream home
Six months, 23 viewings — but none of the properties felt quite right. Then Laura finds Ostrich, signs up, and tells us what she’s looking for.
Cecile and Jerome list their home on Ostrich
Cecile and Jerome love their Canonbury flat, but need more space so a move is on the horizon. Not ready to go on the market or have endless viewings, they list privately with Ostrich. We provide photos, valuation guidance, and create a beautiful listing that highlights what makes their home special.
Laura falls in love
When Cecile & Jerome’s home goes live, Laura gets an alert — it’s exactly what she’s been looking for. She sends a viewing request with an indicative offer. Cecile & Jerome have had other requests, but Laura’s stands out. The offer is tempting, she’s chain-free, and her message shows she genuinely values their home, so they invite her to view.
Laura views the property and makes a formal offer
Cecile shows Laura around the flat and answers her questions. Laura can picture herself living there — the layout, the light, even the street feels perfect. She decides to make a formal offer. After a few days of thought, Cecile & Jerome accept.
Ostrich keeps things moving
Ostrich verifies Laura’s proof of funds, issues a Memorandum of Sale and introduces both parties solicitors. The Ostrich team keeps everyone informed, provides guidance and keeps the whole process on track until completion. By the end, Cecile & Jerome are happily moving on and Laura is turning the key in the door of her new home.
