Property Photography timed for the go-live
Anyone commissioning property on a pre-sale should know what they can expect back — that is what this page is for. Owners preparing to list want the property to arrive on portal at its best — the shoot is scoped around that first-impression moment on Rightmove and OnTheMarket.

Proof
Where this has worked
Pre-sale packs have gone live on Rightmove within 48 hours of the shoot on most bookings.
Context
Pre-sale photography is a first-impression brief.
The short version: 20–35 retouched stills, floorplan-aware composition, same-week turnaround. Every frame is checked at portal-crop size before we leave the site.
Method
How this gets shot
wide-prime DSLR work with bracketed exposures and window-pull retouching. Every frame is checked at portal-crop size before we leave the site.
Captured
What comes back
- Portal-ready hero exterior
- Living room and kitchen wides
- Master bedroom
- Garden or outdoor space
- Optional aerial for context
Constraints
What shapes the shoot
- •Rooms need to be dressed at the vendor level, not staged professionally — the shoot is booked once furniture is in place.
- •Portal images resize hard; framing is planned for the thumbnail crop as well as the full view.
- •External weather window matters — the exterior hero is scheduled to the best-lit hour available.

FAQs
Questions we hear
Can dusk shots be included pre-sale?

Ten to fourteen days before listing gives the agent time to load images and copy without pressure.

A standard Chester home with mediaeval rows typically shoots in 60–90 minutes.
Do you cover lettings as well as sales in Chester?
Yes — we shoot churn lettings stock across CH1 on a rolling weekly slot.
Can you fit dusk shots in Chester?
Dusk windows in Chester are booked around the sunset time on the day; we plan the schedule the morning of the shoot.
