Common Questions


Welcome to Nestoria, a site designed to make finding a property as easy as using a search engine.

Can't find the answer to your questions below? No problem, just send us some feedback, and we'll do our best to get back to you quickly.

Is Nestoria an estate agent?
No. We're a search engine that gathers property listings. We don't sell houses, we don't sell mortgages, we don't sell anything. The same way that search engines like Google, Yahoo! and MSN help you find websites you're looking for, we help you find exactly the property you are looking for.

There's a house for sale down the street from me and Nestoria doesn't show it. Why not?
Good question. We can only show the properties we know about. We work hard to find out about every property we can, but we depend on estate agents to list the property on their website. If you know of an estate agent we should be working with, please let us know via our feedback form. If you are an estate agent and would like to list your properties with us, then please get in touch with us.

Is Nestoria free?
Yes, Nestoria is a totally free service for anyone looking for a property to buy or to let.

How accurate is the data on Nestoria?
Like other search engines, we gather our data from across the web. This means we're only as good as what we find on the internet. Our goal is that every bit of property information we show be accurate and up to date. Please give us feedback if you think a listing contains an error. We'll do our best to correct it as quickly as we can.

How does Nestoria make money?
We do not charge agents to be their included in our database. We make money by selling advertising opportunities. This can take many different forms: cost per call, cost per email, cost per click..., and are all related to value per lead. We only accept real estate advertisers.

How do I find out more information about a property I found on Nestoria?
Next to each property listing is a link directly to the estate agent for that property. By contacting the estate agent directly you should be able to learn more about the property or schedule a viewing.

Why does Nestoria only show properties from certain estate agents? Where are the others?
