6 tips for photographing your home

Here are our 6 tips for photographing your home to put it up for sale or rent.

Property portals and social media are the ideal place to advertise your home if you want to sell or rent it.

They're the first place people go when looking for a new home to start a new life.

But the fierce competition means you have to work to make your listing stand out from the rest and not be forgotten.

A good photo shoot is your home's calling card to potential buyers, and you need to make a good impression.

6 tips to make the most of your home with a photo shoot:

  1. Prepare your home before the photos: you wouldn't take a photo for your social media just any old way, and your home deserves the same. Turn on the lights and open the windows, tidy up and remove excess décor, don't show family photos, and make sure it looks neat and attractive. It's important that viewers can picture themselves living there.
  2. A camera is better: although mobile phone photos have improved a lot, they still don't match a good camera. Cameras also capture light better, which helps show the warmth of your home.
  3. Show spacious areas: even if your home isn't especially big, it's better for the photos to show whole rooms from different angles than just small details. Don't photograph the bed and the bath; show the whole bedroom and bathroom. To do this, stand in a corner of the room.
  4. Landscape photos are better: to show how spacious the rooms are, take photos in landscape mode, which is how our eyes see.
  5. Take several photos of each room: to make it easier for viewers to get an idea of your home, take several photos of each room from different angles.
  6. Show the communal areas and extras: your home isn't just what starts when you walk through the door. Show the building's communal areas and all the extras that add value. Garage, storage room, terrace, gardens, pools, children's play areas and everything else are strong selling points. If your home has any of these, show them.
