Why Nestora exists

The problem

Property portals show a price and some photos, but buyers have to work out monthly costs, fees and whether the price is fair somewhere else.

The product

Nestora puts floor plans, area price history and full affordability numbers on every listing, and books viewings in the same app.

Built for: Home buyers and renters, and the agencies and developers who want better-qualified enquiries.

  • Map search with live price pins and filters
  • Listing pages with floor plans and area price history
  • Monthly payment and upfront cost calculator
  • Viewing booking with agent confirmation
  • In-app chat with verified agents
  • Saved searches with price-drop alerts

What makes it different

Listings You Can Trust

Verified agent badges, price-change history and consistent data so buyers compare like with like.

  • Verified Listings

    Agent licence numbers and listing permits are checked before a listing goes live.

  • Price Context

    Area price trends per square foot show whether an asking price is in line.

  • True Cost Of Buying

    Monthly payments plus transfer, registration and agency fees in one total.

  • Price-Drop Alerts

    Saved searches notify buyers when a matching home is listed or reduced.
