Buying with Ostrich

When the homeowner is ready to arrange a viewing, you’ll get an email inviting you to book one in!

You can manage your viewings easily in your Ostrich account. You’ll find them in your Upcoming viewings section in the main menu. Just pick the one you want to change, select Manage viewing, and you’ll be able to reschedule or cancel from there.

If your original viewing time no longer works, but you'd still love to see the property, rescheduling is easy to do in your Ostrich account. Just head to Upcoming viewings in your main menu, pick the relevant viewing, and choose Manage viewing. From there, you'll see the option to reschedule.
