FAQs

Landlords — questions we hear

Do we need to redecorate first?

Not always. The framing and lighting toolkit is designed to make lived-in stock still look presentable; only cosmetic defects that would fail a viewing get flagged before shooting.

What compliance do you handle?

Consent recorded per property; tenant belongings excluded from framing where present.

What about tenant privacy?

Standard workflow avoids identifying belongings, and consent is confirmed with the current tenant before the shoot.

Which sectors do you already cover?

Recent construction monitoring work spans single-let portfolios in L17/L18, HMO operators around Smithdown Road, coastal short-let owners on the Wirral, student-let managers near the universities.

Can you cover a whole portfolio in one week?

Yes — a five-to-ten property block is normally cleared over 2–3 site days depending on tenant access windows.
