How to photograph your property
Do’s and Don’ts
a) Do photograph every aspect of your property – whether you think it has potential or not! As well as your best features and details, views and exteriors are also important, such as the front and back of your house, and the road outside your home as this will help us to assess parking and access.
b) Do take the photographs in a logical order, i.e. exteriors first, then the hallway, ground floor reception rooms, the staircase, bedrooms etc. And remember to take reverse shots of the rooms as well.
c) Do photograph your property in good natural daylight as it will undoubtedly show off your property at its best!
d) Don’t recompress the images or in-bed any text in them, details can be written on the form. If you don’t have a digital camera the film can be put on to a cd by your photo developer.
e) Don’t take photographs at night. Using a flash can flatten the image and does not flatter the room.
f) Wide angle shots are best ie taken with 28mm lens. However, should you have a 35-50mm lens we suggest you take:
Pan shots: position yourself in one corner of each of the main rooms and turn the camera vertically. Take 3 or 4 photos in a pan around the room, these can then be fitted together to create a wide shot. Then from the opposite corner take a reverse shot of the room.
Please note: the more information we have on your property the better!
