Property Photography Guides

14 property photography guides cover what agents and landlords ask before booking in London: whether a floor plan earns its cost, when drone shots actually help a listing, and how new-build marketing differs from a straightforward rental shoot. Written from flats with no room for a tripod and portals with a 9am deadline, each guide answers one decision plainly, including when the answer is no.

What’s in this category

Fourteen guides in all photography and videography guides cover the property side of the business: what agents should expect from a shoot, whether a floor plan earns its cost, when a drone actually helps a listing and when it’s money wasted on a flat with no roof terrace or river view, and how new-build marketing photography differs from a straightforward rental listing.

Most of what’s here comes from shooting flats with no room to swing a tripod, for agents who need images turned around before the portal listing goes live at 9am.

Frequently asked questions

How much does property photography cost in London?

Real estate photography starts at £180 per property, with real estate videography from £350 and drone photo or video from £400 where it's allowed and useful. Interior and architectural photography for a larger job starts at £350. The exact price depends on property size and how many rooms need shooting.

How quickly are property images delivered?

Property photography is turned around in 24 hours, which matters when a listing needs to go live on the portal the next morning. Video walkthroughs and drone footage usually take a little longer to edit, so I'll confirm a specific time when you book.

Do I need a floor plan as well as photos?

Not always, but it helps for anything above a studio flat, since buyers and renters use it to judge whether furniture will actually fit. For a small one-bed with an obvious layout, photos alone are often enough. Ask your agent whether their portal listing expects one before you decide.

Is a drone worth it for a flat?

Usually not. Drone photography earns its £400 for houses, roof terraces or a genuinely good view, not for a mid-floor flat with nothing to show from above. Landowner permission is separate from CAA authorisation, so check both before booking a flight, and I'll tell you honestly if your property doesn't need one.
