Constraints

  • Extension, loft and any post-purchase works are documented specifically.
  • Aerial is planned as a condition record, not a marketing hero.

Process

How the visit runs

    Brief and drawings

    Floorplans, drawings or listing links for the refinance valuation come in first; we mark up the shot list against them.

    The visit date is confirmed against the daylight window and wind forecast — critical for venue photography on this brief.

  3. Step 3

    Shoot day

    Two-body ground kit plus aerial where the refinance valuation setting warrants it; changes to the shot list are agreed on the spot.

  4. Step 4

    Review and hand-off

    A curated set previews within 24 hours; the full edit lands within the venue photography standard turnaround.
