Nothing beats viewing a property in person, but even where this is now allowed again we are still encouraging the use of virtual viewings.
Virtual viewings have been popular for quite some time but there is no question that we have seen an increase in demand since the outbreak of Covid-19. Video tours bring many benefits and allow potential new home buyers to view a selection of schemes across the country in one go. This brings with it the added convenience of being able to obtain all the information they need to make an informed decision from the comfort – and security – of their own home.
Recent years have seen an increase in the quality of video footage and the technology available to us to provide the best experience for prospective buyers. In many cases, we now have the opportunity to offer virtual guided tours with an agent, bringing this viewing platform as close as possible to the ‘real deal’. With improved technology, tour types include:
- Video tours: Video is used to guide the viewing through selected areas of a new development, apartment or show house. The tours are accessible through the online listing and while the user can stop and start the video, they cannot choose where they go.
- Virtual video tour: These tours provide a more interactive experience using a specially designed camera system which allows prospective buyers to navigate the property themselves using hotspots on the video.
There is no question that the rise in popularity of these tours will change the way we do business long after the pandemic has ended.
Wherever you are in the world, take a tour of some of the schemes across the UK.
