This is dependent on the size of the property. A three-bed house will take around one hour.
It’s the responsibility of the homeowner to prepare the property – please refer your client to our home staging guide. On the day of the appointment the photographer may make some useful suggestions on areas or items that require some further attention, photographers are not responsible for cleaning, tidying, or moving anything in the property.
Yes, our photographer will proceed with the appointment, but they will notify us and a revisit (which may be chargeable) might be necessary.
Please let us know as soon as possible to cancel the appointment with the photographer. Appointments cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled visit may still be charged.
It is your responsibility to ensure that all personally identifiable items are removed from sight prior to our visit to avoid it being displayed in our visual content (e.g. household bills & family photos).

To order additional photos, you can access the sample images and select the photos you’d like us to enhance. This will incur an additional cost.
As standard, we will blur faces, car number plates, door numbers/property names, documents, business cards, heraldry/family trees and sculptures or artwork showing personal information.
As part of the enhancement process, we will:
– Change a grey sky to a blue one – makes the image more inviting and uplifting
– Make grass greener through colour correction
– Reduce shadows to highlight the property’s best features
– Improve contrast and colour saturation so that a dull photo looks more inviting
– Crop & straighten images, so they look professional
As part of the process, to stay in line with regulations, we will not remove things that cannot be moved (e.g. an electricity pylon). We will not remove large items or objects such as cars, skips or any other items in front or behind the property.
If you’d like your client to select their own photos then please forward them the ‘vendor link’ from the FocalAgent Hub.

All rooms have multiple hotspots (we need to be able to see each room clearly) except small box rooms/ small bathrooms that can have 1 hotspot.
If a 3D capture is not possible in a room or space then a 360 panorama will be taken. Externals will have a 360 panorama as standard.
Through our testing we have found on average a 3 bed property takes 30 minutes to complete, although some photographers may be quicker.
Yes – we ask our photographers to use common sense to try and stay out of the way. However, on the occasion, it may be unavoidable. If the photographer can’t avoid the camera in the shot without compromising the tour path, then the reflection will pass QA.
Deactivate the Matterport on the FocalAgent hub to avoid any unnecessary hosting charges.
