A house by the sea, and a straight answer on what it costs.
Ostro & Vane sells homes on the south coast to people who live somewhere else. Five agents, nine languages between them, and every listing shows the tax, the fees and the monthly payment next to the price.

What buyers might say
Placeholder notes written for this demo. A live site would carry real ones, with permission.
We sent the brief on a Sunday night from Rotterdam and had four houses to argue about by breakfast.
The calculator said €61,000 in costs. The lawyer’s final figure was within two thousand of it.
Every Friday I got a note with viewings, enquiries and what to do about the price. I never had to ask.
