Harbour, huts and clifftops
Christchurch Harbour, where the Avon and the Stour meet, gives a lot of homes a water view worth showing. The beach huts on Mudeford Sandbank sell for six-figure sums, and an aerial photo is the clearest way to show exactly where a hut sits on the spit.
In Highcliffe, the clifftop houses take the weather straight off the sea, which is hard on ridges, flashing and chimneys. Around the Priory, the old centre has roofs that are better looked at than walked on.
Between the town and Highcliffe there are a lot of bungalows and chalet bungalows. Their dormers and valleys are low enough to look easy, but most of the roof still can't be seen from the ground. In Mudeford and Friars Cliff, where plenty of homes are let to holidaymakers, a photo showing the walk to the beach does a lot of the selling.
