What buyers and guests want to see
From the street, a listing shows a front door. From the air, it shows the plot: how long the garden is, where the parking goes, what backs onto it, and how far it is to the sea, the harbour or the heath.
For a holiday let, that view can be what makes someone book. For a sale, it answers questions that would otherwise wait for a viewing.
What you get
Ten edited photos, picked from a larger set:
- straight down over the plot, so the boundaries are clear
- angled views of the house from two or three sides
- the garden on its own
- the wider view: the beach, the harbour or the countryside, and how close it is
You get landscape versions sized for Rightmove and booking sites, plus square and portrait crops for Instagram. A short video can be added if you ask. The photos are yours to use however you like, including in printed brochures.
Light and timing
Houses look best in early morning or evening light, and the drone needs a calm day. A time is suggested when you book, and if the weather turns, the shoot moves at no extra cost.
If the house is going on the market, it's worth tidying the garden and moving cars off the drive first. They show up more from above than you'd think.
Neighbours and privacy
Neighbouring gardens are kept out of shot as far as possible. Anything identifiable that does get in, like people or number plates, can be blurred on request.
Questions
- Can my estate agent book it?
- Yes. Send the address and the agent's email, and the photos can go straight to them.
- Do I need to be there?
- No, as long as the drone can take off nearby. If the best spot is your garden or drive, you'll be asked first.
- Can I use the photos for years?
- Yes. You own them, so they can go on every listing, season after season.
