How to Prepare Your Property for Photography

A Simple Guide to Achieving the Best Results

To achieve the best possible results, a well-prepared property makes a significant difference.
Below are a few simple steps to help ensure your property looks clean, spacious and inviting in photographs.

Light & Windows

Raise all blinds to a consistent level wherever possible to create a clean and balanced look.

If any blinds are broken, please leave a clear note by the window so they are not adjusted during the shoot.

Bedrooms

Ensure beds are neatly made, with covers and pillows arranged cleanly and evenly.
A well-presented bed significantly improves the overall feel of the room.

Kitchen

Clear all surfaces where possible.

• Remove dish racks, drying items and visible clutter
• Keep the sink area clean and empty

A clean kitchen always photographs better and feels more spacious.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms should be presented in a clean, minimalist way.

• Remove unnecessary items from around sinks and baths
• Store toiletries out of sight where possible

This creates a more refined and visually appealing space

Outdoor Areas

For gardens, terraces and balconies:

• Remove covers from furniture and barbecues
• Arrange outdoor furniture neatly

This helps present the space as usable and inviting.

General Presentation

Please ensure that:

• Nothing is left hanging on chairs
• Surfaces are clear and uncluttered

Small details can make a big difference in photos.

Pets

If you have pets, please remove visible items such as:

• bowls
• toys
• bedding

This helps maintain a neutral presentation for potential buyers or tenants.

Access Information

If the property is in a building without a clearly visible number,
please provide details such as the floor level or access instructions.

Bins

Please hide all bins inside the property.

If possible, move or conceal outdoor bins so they are not visible in exterior shots.

Finishing Touch

Fresh flowers can add a subtle but effective finishing touch, particularly in living or dining areas.
