Photographs
Main Photo
Please take time over the photographs. Your property should be central and
as dominant as possible. Try to get a good angle that does not show the old
burned out banger dumped in the street last week. Also take note of what's
behind the property, bits of Aerial masts just behind your home are best
avoided. The picture is usually the first impression. If it’s positive you
can build on it and a small knock later may be allowed. If it’s a bad first
response, that potential buyer may soon be buying from someone else.
Other Photo's
If you are taking pictures of views, take them under the best conditions. In other words, if there is something that could spoil the picture remove it or wait. If the pictures are of the outside of the property, again wait for a fine day to show the outside at its best. Pictures of the inside can be more difficult if you are short of space or your camera does not have a wide angle lens.
The trick for interiors is to get as far away as possible and take advantage of natural light, but do not be afraid to supplement with flash fill in to enhance a shot. If you have a cosy room, perhaps with an open fire, then try to avoid the flash and make sure the camera is really steady. This will show the room with a warm colour cast to it that will make the viewer feel cosy. If you are unsure, look in an estate agents window for some examples, but remember even the experts get it wrong some times, or they send out a junior member of staff who has no idea what they are trying to achieve.
