Preparing for a Video Tour

How to Prepare for your Video Tour



The one thing to remember is video shows everything…even the things you don't see anymore!

Now you or your agent has decided on a video tour, it's really important to prepare your home. Some of this might seem obvious but try to remember, viewers are looking to buy THEIR NEW home, not YOUR OLD home.


To get the best from your video tour, try to do some or all of the following:

Get the outside right

  • Move any vehicles from the outside of the property
  • Remove any clutter from outside the property such as bins and hoses
  • Mow the lawn and tidy round the garden including weeding and removing leaves
  • Clean the windows


Set the scene inside

  • Moving furniture around may help to make a room look more spacious
  • Make sure your home is well lit, and replace any light bulbs that have gone out
  • Open all curtains and blinds
  • Fresh flowers help to breathe life into a property

 

Kitchen

  • Clear all work tops and make sure there are no tea towels or chopping boards on show
  • Move bins out of sight
  • Clear away appliances
  • Close all cupboards
  • Hide all fridge magnets
  • Clear the sink (no dirty dishes!)
  • If you have pets, hide their food bowls and beds
  • A full, fresh fruit bowl can add a flash of colour


Reception rooms

  • Remove scruffy throws from sofas
  • Arrange cushions to look smart and tidy
  • Set dining room tables
  • Remove rugs, especially where you have wooden or tiled floors
  • Any children’s toys or piles of magazines, DVDs etc should be out of sight


Bedrooms

  • Make the bed and choose bed clothes that compliment the room
  • Anything stored under the bed should be completely out of sight
  • All drawers and wardrobe doors should be shut

 



Bathroom

  • Keep the toilet lid down
  • Remove clutter like shower gels and tooth brushes
  • Close the shower curtain
  • Remove toilet paper from its holder
  • Any towels should be neatly arranged and folded, and chosen to compliment the room

Skyshutter were recently contacted by the estate management team of a Stately Home to help with a leaking roof. The Buckinghamshire property was built in 1909 and there was internal evidence of water ingress. A full roof inspection was needed but access would have been dangerous and difficult without full scaffolding.
