Thinking of selling in the next few years?

Very personable and professional interactions

Tim Richardson

Overall great service and communications. I love the concept of pre-sales, this encouraged me to considering selling my apartment to a great buyer and made my future dream property purchase possible.

Chris

This process was extremely smooth, with clear help and guidance offered along the way by everyone I dealt with from Ostrich to push the purchase through in less than 2 months (!!). I also loved being able to interact with and get to know the seller directly. Would strongly recommend going through Ostrich, either as a buyer or a seller.

George

Ostrich provided a fantastic service when I sold my flat. They found a good selection of quality potential buyers who had the right expectations around price. Rich from Ostrich then helped manage the selling process, including dealing with and smoothing over the inevitable issues that arose. Rich was always available to answer by questions. I can highly recommend Ostrich.

Mark

I had a great experience as a buyer purchasing a home through Ostrich. Rich was very approachable and communicative at every stage. He showed me around the flat and kept in touch regularly via email and phone throughout the process. I was treated fairly and felt Rich acted as a trusted broker between me and the sellers. The process was smooth with exchange happening within 3 months. Thank you Rich for your support throughout.

Jen Taylor

Richard and Ostrich have broken the mould of Estate Agency and produced an efficient service for sellers, and for buyers who know where they want to be. Fast response to queries and with considerable experience in the process of buying and selling, this proved to be a smooth process. Highly recommended.

Wells

Coming across Ostrich by chance when looking to put my house on the market was a real godsend. They were a pleasure to work with from the first day right through to completion. Their level of knowledge and their commitment is outstanding as is the communication and personal approach. I very strongly recommend Ostrich to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the areas they cover. Chapeau guys ! A great experience. CB

Cristina Bareato

Very slick and personalised process on the sell-side.

Hayden

Very slick onboarding process with fast friendly customer support at every stage. The UX/UI of the platform is pleasing too. Really enjoying the service so far.

Stefan Ferguson

A really professional and friendly team to work with! From visiting the property to take photos through to receiving the valuation and listing, the entire process was smooth from beginning to end, and we’re delighted with our listing. Special shout out to Daisy who was so lovely and friendly!

alex

From my very first initial contact to listing a couple of weeks later, the Ostrich team have provided a no-hype, no pressure, professional sales process. My personal needs were understood and taken into account and the valuation was justified by very relevant hard sales data. I felt completely comfortable listing my home because the process gave me control over time frames and viewings. I love the unfussy website, beautiful photos and the simplicity of the 'blurb' which is free from the usual superlatives. I have bought and sold many houses over the years and I really hope these guys succeed in setting a new standard in estate agency, taking unnecessary heat and excessive costs out of the market. A special mention too to Daisy the photographer who caught the last of the autumn colours on the trees and some unexpected sunshine on a grey and miserable day.

SBS

I had a wonderful experience with the state agency. The photographer, Daisy, was incredibly professional and so friendly. She made me feel really comfortable during the shoot. The whole process was smooth and efficient, and I love how the pictures turned out. It was such a nice surprise to receive a gift voucher too. I'm really impressed with this agency and would highly recommend them.

Ed

Easy experience and lovely photographer.

Buyer

We have been offered opportunity to list our flat in Islington via a flyer and were very intrigued by the Ostrich concept which really resonated with us - not in a hurry to sell our flat but equally would consider serious offers. We have been pleasantly surprised by the smoothness of the entire onboarding experience - the Ostrich team have walked us through the entire proposition and process and took great photos of our property which were then quickly transformed into a premium looking listing. Looking forward to see what Ostrich can do for us but certainly impressed so far.

Jakub

A smooth and simple onboarding experience as a seller.

hanlmmni

Recently listed on Ostrich. The whole process was incredibly easy and straight forward. The team are knowledgeable and professional and the valuation provided comes with more context and clarity than any I’ve otherwise received.

angus

The Ostrich team were helpful and informative throughout the listing process. We're really pleased with our listing and look forward to working with them in future!

Ruby Kell

Really great service

MC Carrier

Really great team and super efficient!

Ella

The whole process was effortless (apart from tidying the house, of course). All communications were timely and clear. We had to rearrange their visit very late in the day, which the simply accommodated with ease. Their reps who came round were totally punctual, unfailingly polite and considerate about our property. The process was seamless and they were happy to take time to talk us through the process and the options therein. It really could not have gone smoother.

Laura Simmons

We had a fantastic experience selling with Ostrich. They were so attentive and helpful and guided us smoothly through a rather stressful period. The fact that they are able to do viewings on a Sunday is also great! I would highly recommend Ostrich.

Ari L'Heveder

A very simple process. Friendly people from Ostrich visited my property, took photos and explained the process. A week later they sent through their valuation/ recommended marketing price, as well as a preview of the listing. I've found them helpful by email too, answering any questions I had. So far, so good. I've only just listed, so whether it's effective as a method of selling I cannot yet say.

Steve

Excellent experience getting our listing on Ostrich. Very quick and efficient process to get our pictures taken by their photographer Daisy and floor plan/description ready a week later. Highly recommend.

Simone

It was such a great experience to work with Ostrich. I loved how the professional team (who also happened to be very friendly and lovely) put together the listing of my flat in a very quick and efficient way. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Vic

An interesting and unique approach to property marketing. Friendly and professional, great customer service, fantastic experience, excellent quality listing and would highly recommend.

Drew

Extremely easy and lovely team to work with! The whole process is very efficient from start to finish and we’re really happy with the look of our listing. Looking forward to working with the team to find our dream home and sell our place! It’s a much more flexible way of selling your home and it’s great to see Ostrich expanding to more areas!

Caroline Harmstone

The whole experience flew logically and people I interacted with were pleasant and professional

Francesco

Professional and personal service, quick turn around to list our property

Hannah

A very seamless and easy process and a perfect solution for our current situation regarding a house move. The team were very professional and helpful in answering any and all questions and providing guidance throughout the process. The ability to review your listing and make tweaks and bounce ideas off the team at Ostrich has resulted in an authentic and differentiated listing of our property. We are excited to see the results!

Thomas Tynan

Ostrich made the process of listing with them seamless - they were super responsive, helpful and answered every question we had. Definitely didn’t make it a burden for us at all!

Ilana

Really smart idea, really well executed. The Ostrich team were communicative, friendly and flexible.

Daniel Nettleton

Very easy process. Very professional and seamless listing our property.

George

The team came round exactly on time and explained their business model and the listing process very clearly and concisely. My flat looks amazing in the listing - incredible photographs!

Joseph Gaus

The process of listing a property with Ostrich was a breeze. The photos, valuation and drafting of the listing all happened in a flash - with a friendly and stress-free approach. I love the concept of selling in your own time outside of the usual pressurised environment of the open market.

Sam

Really great concept and the people are lovely. Working with them was easy, they were knowledgable and helpful. would recommend.

Jessica Mann

Super easy and quick listing process. Only required an hour of my day.

Hannah

As a seller, I found the onboarding experience to be very smooth. Except for scheduling a time for a visit and answering a few questions about the property, everything else was taken care of: mapping the property, shooting photos, creating a listing… I must say that photos are of great quality too and the website is very well done. I feel like my property well represented on Ostrich. I can’t wait to see how much interest I get from potential buyers.

Guillaume Flandre

We had very specific criteria. Ostrich revealed properties that weren’t available elsewhere and were a responsive, professional team.

Catherine Fuller

The process of listing was Ostrich was really straight forward. The photos look beautiful and any changes I requested were accommodated.

Joanna

Ostrich provided a first-rate service. They achieved a strong price for our property, were unfailingly helpful and always communicated clearly and concisely.

Alex D

We decided to use Ostrich to list our house pre-market, as we're not quite ready to engage with buyers just yet, but are considering moving in the next 1-3 years. Richard and Daisy did a great job preparing our listing, from talking us through the process, to taking photos, and writing up the listing. We're very happy with the listing, and would recommend their service to anyone considering selling their property at some point in the future.

ADAM POPECK

I recently discovered this agency and have been very impressed. They attended my home to take pictures and measure a floorplan. They explained their services very clearly, without being pushy. The pictures were great and the property listing is very easy to manage. Within days I had significant interest my property. Ideal for anyone wanting to sell their property in their own time, without the stress and cost of a traditional agency. Very nice team of people.

Brett

Rich and his team are very professional, clear and responsive. I had the pleasure of meeting Rich in-person and he succinctly explained the listing process and options. Would recommend Ostrich for those looking for something alternative to your traditional agents.

Avinash Balendran

Richard and Daisy from Ostrich did a great job listing our flat on their site. For taking the photos, they arrived on time, talked us through the listing process while taking photos, and even stayed a little longer to get the best photo conditions for the garden. Once the listing was prepared, they quickly took our requests for minor changes on board. We're very happy with the listing, and would recommend their service to anyone considering selling their property in the area they serve.

Joe Hughes

We are part of a chain and Duncan (@Ostrich) was representing the first property in the chain. He was instrumental in helping us all to exchange and he couldn’t have been more helpful even though we weren’t his client! Thank you.

Chris Coe

I confess I was sceptical at first compared to a traditional sales process, but I could not have asked for a better outcome. Not only was the marketing process smooth, non-pressured and very thoughtful, once we actually agreed the sale dealing with Ostrich was a real pleasure. Duncan was always trustworthy, fair to all parties and able to progress things without the usual pushiness and abrasiveness that is so common with estate agents. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about selling.

Joao Marinho

We had a seamless and enjoyable experience selling our home with Ostrich. Not only did they manage to find someone who appreciated the renovation as much as we did, but they secured the price we were happy to sell at. The best part about selling with Ostrich is that they ensure all potential buyers can meet the minimum price threshold you set for the house, so at no point did we feel like our time was being wasted. We valued Ostrich’s market insights and trends, and when we return to the area, we would only use Ostrich for our next move.

Charlie S

Very professional and efficient.

Marie Leroux

The entire process was seamless from start to finish and a really lovely team to work with! Would definitely recommend.

Roxy

We enjoyed the painless listing experience provided by Duncan & co. The team accommodated our needs throughout the process and displayed great flexibility. It is a great service, and we would recommend them highly.

amazon_buyer

I've enjoyed the process of working with Ostrich so far. It's a great concept and I like their design aesthetic and approach. The team were really friendly and engaging and took great pictures of our property. They also spent a lot more time writing up the features of flat than other estate agents do. I'm impressed by their innovative approach to selling houses and their business model.

LM

Helpful, professional and friendly service throughout! Very happy with the listing.

Max Joseph

A pleasure to deal with. The team were really friendly and responsive, making the process very clear and smooth. Appreciate them answering all my questions. Love that I was able to easily book my appointment online & the photos have come out great & look very professional.

Li

Excellent, highly responsive team at Ostrich - who are clearly passionate about Islington property and also their innovative sales platform.

David Northen

We listed on Ostrich as we aren't 'really' looking to sell, but we could be tempted if the right thing were to come along. It was very easy to book a photography appointment, and I needed to rearrange with a weeks' notice and Rich was delightfully accomodating. When Rich did come over we immediately felt at ease because of his clear passion for the area and knowledge. The photographer also did a great job and went to good lengths to get the right shots. The listing was very well researched and you could tell that the description editor has a keen love for Islington. All in all it's been great so far - let's see if the right offer comes through...!

Amelia

One of the most seamless experiences ever! The ostrich team were professional and communicative throughout the whole process. I was kept well informed and befit happy with my property listing.

Wayne Morley

The team at Ostrich are great. The whole service was quick and smooth. They have great knowledge of the area and are incredibly responsive over email. Thank you!

customer

I have listed my flat on Ostrich after recently learning about it. It was very easy to do with their team creating a professional looking listing v quickly. It has also attracted a lot of attention from potential buyers in the first week.

Amir H

I recently listed my flat on Ostrich. The whole process was very smooth and professional. Richard was informative and friendly, the set-up appointment did not take long & I was very pleased with the photos and the way my property was presented. It was also great to have the final approval over the listing. Thank you Ostrich team

Fleur

The listing process was very smooth and easy. Max was very friendly and the ostrich’s team has been responsive throughout.

TL

Enjoying my ostrich experience so far. It’s so nice that there’s a different property experience now available, in a pretty outdated space. The ‘off-market’ offering is game-changing, for anyone looking for their dream property.

Helen Evans

Excellent service

J Deegs

Rich and Duncan have been fantastic - excellent, very helpful and balanced advice and support, including in navigating negotiations with potential buyers. Website great too and really showed our property in its best light, with accurate informative description, too. Highly recommend.

Nicola

Enjoying working with Ostrich so far, they're extremely communicative, offer a very high level of service and expertise, and managed to quickly set up viewings of our property with suitable potential buyers. Definitely recommend.

Jack Blume

Punctual, discreet and realistic: no fuss. no disturbance and no mess.

A.B.S

Great service for home owners and buyers. Ostrich was professional, super friendly and responsive. It allows buyers and owners to connect directly, saving time and hassle. The homes are very well photographed and described with Ostrich's help, so that buyers get a good idea of the property even before viewing.

Sandra Polcher

As a homeowner, dealing with Ostrich has been incredibly easy as the team is super responsive. They were very open to suggestions and changes for the online listing. The pictures and the listing description were top-class, actually of much better quality than anything we had experience with a main street / traditional selling agent. I thought some improvements were needed on the website but quickly saw that the platform was evolving quickly to address these.

Joseph

We have had a great experience with Ostrich. They have been very transparent from the start, providing a premium service.

Georgina

Ostrich has been a great experience for someone debating whether to move house - the listing was very painless: some great photos were taken, floor plan created, and description written by the Ostrich team. Very minimal hassle, and the resulting listing on the site is excellent and represents our house very accurately. We’ve already had 3 decent offers on the property, which has surpassed our expectations, and we are considering how to proceed.

Christopher

Great concept and the team are exceptionally helpful. They go out of their way to make the entire process easy for the customer.

Adeel

The team at Ostrich were so helpful as I was getting setup on the platform. They went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable and make the process easy to understand and smooth from sign-up to listing. It was so simple! Great experience, really cool platform with a service that I have always wished was available, but have never found before! One of a kind.

Christina

Great team, trustworthy, and professional. Can definitely recommend them!

Yorick Naeff

A great idea for the property market. It makes it easy to list your property with low hassle when thinking of moving in the future.

AR

Great company, super easy to use and now we see regular offers

Rob Berrisford

We registered our interest to list our property and the onboarding process was flawless. The customer service was friendly and quick, photographers were professional and the listing on Ostrich looked great. We have already had multiple offers much higher than our current expectation of our property value, would highly recommend!

RB

Great Service. Much broader view of the local market over other agents and more relevant insights. Excellent user experience for someone looking for a new home, hope they expand into our area when we look to sell in a few years.

Brad

Sooooo glad I found this website! It’s much better than the usual property sites as you get access to a lot more properties. I already feel like I’ve got a much better view of the market! I also love the brand, it feels very premium. I’m telling all my friends about it!

Nicola Carr

We had a really great time working with the Ostrich team to list our property on their website. We had a lovely photographer come and take photos of our apartment followed by great service and clear communication on next steps, timings etc. Overall a great experience working with Duncan and team

Richard

Currently renting in Barnsbury and spent the last six months looking for somewhere to buy. It's been frustrating trying to find the right place, with so few options on the market. Ostrich has made a massive difference, with properties that I couldn't find on Rightmove (or anywhere else). Particularly love the weekly email.

Harriet Matheson

Ostrich, were brilliant in helping us list our property off the market. They were both transparent and personable! Ostrich delivered consistently! from our interactions they smashed our expectations! 10/10 would recommend if your looking in this space!

Michael Benjamin

I really enjoy getting the regular Ostrich property alerts. The houses they have on their website are much higher quality than the ones you get on other sites and I like that I can tempt the owners to sell by putting in an offer without having to go through an estate agent.

Dan

Doing something different. A very polished experience

Jonathan Hill

Great experience with Ostrich. I found their approach unique and refreshing.

T

I added my flat to Ostrich as I really like the idea of seeing how much interest there is in it without necessarily having to put it on the market. Listing my flat was very simple, and the Ostrich team even took all the professional pictures free of charge. I've also enjoyed receiving their email alerts to see what other properties have been recently added.

Antonio Argiolas

Ostrich has found a gap in the property resale market and has filled it with professionalism and style. It targets property owners planning to sell in the medium to long term by connecting them with interest buyers keen to bypass the usual estate agent "faff". The service is excellent, the photographer did a great job of showing the best of my property and it was great to canvas early buyer interest. Thanks Ostrich.

Stuart

Good selection of properties that aren’t on other websites. Nice to be able to see what else is out there. I’d recommend to anyone looking to buy.

James

Buying a property is something most people only ever do a couple of times in their life, and it's the most expensive transaction they ever complete. Yet we seem to be used to squinting at a grid of tiny photos in an email that doesn't contain anything useful, only to be taken to a listing with "more photos coming soon". Trying to find a good 2-bed property in London is hard enough without having to trawl through hundreds of listings with poor quality photos and inconsistent information. Browsing Ostrich is a breath of fresh air compared to that. Ostrich does it properly. You can actually see what the property is like from the photos, and it makes it easy to see crucial information like interior size, whether it's freehold or leasehold, and comparable properties nearby. Ostrich actually makes searching for a property an enjoyable experience!

David

My home has been listed on Ostrich since its inception after being recommended by a friend. My house isn’t for sale per se, but it’s been a great way for me to gauge the market and get an interesting perspective on what my home may be worth if I were to sell. I’ve actually even had two offers, which haven’t quite been enough to convince me to sell, but proves that there is interest out there and validates the price point that Ostrich assigned my home. I’m definitely going to keep my home listed on the site in case I get an offer that does convince me and to build a waiting list of potential buyers for when I do want to sell. There are some amazing homes listed and I’ve actually joined the waiting list for a couple as a buyer too.

Josh

Really loved stumbling on this site - first time in a long time I’ve discovered really unique properties that have had me excited about the prospect of moving! Particularly rate the quality of photography/floor plan/descriptions - feels like you’re getting a really high spec but more importantly, accurate view of the listings.
