Notar – From Technical Debt to Award-Winning Real Estate Platform

Notar – From Technical Debt to Award-Winning Real Estate Platform

A modern digital solution combining performance, security, and real business value

Notar, one of Sweden’s leading real estate agencies, faced a growing challenge: their website was built on an outdated framework (Ispy) that could no longer keep up with evolving technical demands or user expectations. The technical debt made it expensive and time-consuming to add new features — limiting Notar’s ability to innovate and respond to market needs.

Together with Softhouse, Notar rebuilt their entire web platform from the ground up. The new solution is a modern, mobile-optimized site built in Vue, fully integrated with Vitec (their property data system), AWS, and Google Analytics.

We also developed a custom support system to manage property data and media in areas where Vitec didn’t offer sufficient flexibility. The platform has since been extended to support Notar’s international offices, including operations in Spain.

What we did

  • Developed a new Vue + AWS-based web platform with CI/CD pipelines and analytics

  • Full integration with Vitec for real-time property listings

  • Custom data handling tools to fill functional gaps in Vitec

  • Support for international expansion (e.g. Notar Spain)

Business value

  • Faster innovation – new services and features are easier to launch

  • Better UX – fast, mobile-ready, and accessible site

  • Reduced technical debt – lower cost and complexity in ongoing development

  • Industry recognition – winner of Sweden’s Real Estate Website of the Year, five years in a row
