The hour
Three photographs from one evening at Villa Serena.
How a viewing works
You choose a time. We meet you at the door — not in an office, and not with a clipboard. The lights are on, the way they are in the photographs, and you get an hour alone in the house.
We bring the floor plan, the last three comparable sales, and the things that are wrong with the house, if there are any. If you want a second viewing, bring whoever needs to see it. That is the whole process.
- Pick a time that suits you, including evenings and Sundays.
- We meet you at the door. The viewing lasts about an hour.
- Ask anything. We will send the answer by email afterwards if you want it on the record.
- No payment, no obligation, and no call the next morning unless you ask for one.
Villa at the Edge, Lagos. Viewings at 17:30, when the west light comes through the glass.
What it costs each month
A guide price is not a monthly number. This is what each home on the register costs a month on a repayment mortgage, so you can compare homes by what you will actually pay.

|---|---|---|---|
| Villa Luz | €980,000 | €196,000 | €4,225 |
| The Brick House | £875,000 | £175,000 | £3,773 |
| Villa at the Edge | €1,180,000 | €236,000 | €5,088 |
| The Old Cottage | £1,150,000 | £230,000 | £4,958 |

| Villa Serena | €3,900,000 | €780,000 | €16,815 |
| The Coach House | £4,800 a month | — | £4,800 |
Illustrative only: 4.2% fixed for five years, 25-year term, capital repayment. The Coach House is let at £4,800 a month, so its monthly cost is the rent. Your lender's offer is the number that counts. Work out your own figures on any home with the calculator on its page.

What is your home worth?
We value twelve homes a month and take on four. The ones we take on are the ones we can photograph at dusk and describe honestly, and the ones we think we can sell in ninety days.
The valuation takes 45 minutes at your house. You get it by email within two working days, with the three comparable sales we based it on.
From the journal
The hour the house is lived in
Every house we sell is photographed at dusk, when the lights are on. Not because it looks good — though it does — but because that is the hour a house is lived in.
At noon a house is a set of rooms. At seven in the evening it is a kitchen with the light on, a garden you can still see, a stair you climb when you are tired. The buyer who comes at dusk knows what they are buying. The buyer who comes at noon is buying a floor plan.
So we photograph at dusk, we show at dusk when we can, and we put the price on the page next to the photograph. A house is not a mystery to be solved over three viewings. It is a place, at an hour, for a price. The rest is a conversation.
Read the journalWho you will deal with
Three people, each with their own patch. You deal with one of them from the first viewing to the keys changing hands — nobody is handed over halfway.
Questions we are asked
How do I book a viewing?
Pick a home and choose a time on its page, or call the agent named on the page. Viewings run seven days a week, including evenings. We confirm by phone within one working day.
What does it cost to buy through Vesper?
Nothing. The seller pays our fee. We agree the fee before the home is listed and put it in the listing agreement. Buyers pay us nothing at any point.
Can I make an offer?
Yes — offers are made to the agent by email, with proof of funds or a mortgage agreement in principle. We put every offer to the seller the same day, and we tell you the same day whether it is accepted.
What happens after my offer is accepted?
Your solicitor and surveyor take over, and we stay in the middle until the keys change hands. Most of our sales complete in eight to twelve weeks. If something stalls, we tell you the same day — we do not wait for you to ask.
Do you take part-exchange?
No. We sell one home at a time and we do not buy homes ourselves, so we never have a reason to talk a price down.
I am selling. What does a valuation involve?
Forty-five minutes at your house, at dusk if you will let us. We measure the rooms, photograph the light, and look at the three most recent comparable sales. You get the valuation by email within two working days, with the comparables attached.
