WHY HAVE VIRTUAL TOURS FOR STUDENT HMOS
THE MESSY HOUSE FACTOR
First impressions matter, and expecting existing students to keep a clean house for a viewing at short notice is unrealistic. Film the house at it’s best, and you never have this problem.
NO MORE WASTED VIEWINGS
Tired of students walking through the door of a viewing . A virtual tour allows you to qualify all leads, so you are only showing around realistic prospects.
NO MORE REPEAT VIEWINGS
If a group want to double check a property, or part of the group missed the viewing altogether, a virtual tour can.
BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH TENANTS
Students don’t like letting agents showing people around their house, the less you can cause this inconvenience, the better your relationship will be.
24/7 VIEWINGS
Your customers can be viewing your properties from anywhere at any time.
INSURANCE
Serious damage caused to the property by students or a major accident? No problem, you have a detailed inventory to easily look back on for insurance purposes.
THE PROCESS
WOULD VIRTUAL TOURS HELP YOUR LETTING AGENCY?
WHY HAVE VIRTUAL TOURS FOR PBSA
INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE
Over 20% of the students in the UK are international, and the majority of these will live in a PBSA block at some point. Having a virtual tour can help engage with this audience, who want a guarantee of the quality of their accommodation, and also overcome the geographical boundaries to them viewing the property.
ROI
A PBSA block may only have a handful of room types and social areas that can represent 100s of potential student tenants. Getting exceptional content for these individual room types can achieve exceptional return on investment, by helping to let.
UK DOMESTIC CLEARING
During university clearing, many students don’t get the opportunity to visit the university they end up going to, this includes their potential accommodation. A virtual tour representing the rooms still available to these clearing students allows them to make the most informed choice possible on their future accommodation, and puts you ahead of competitors who don't have this offering.

WHY HAVE a VIRTUAL TOURS?
24/7 OPEN HOUSE
The ability to have a 24/7 open house for prospective buyers and renters allows agents to operate in a way they have never before been able to. Potential renters and buyers can view your properties in an immersive format from anywhere in the world at any time.
REMOVES GEOGRAPHICAL BARRIERS
Potential Buyers and Renters can be put off based on the distance they have to travel for an initial viewing, and might never get to this first action simply deposit initial interest. Having a virtual tour overcomes this initial barrier to entry, as they can be confident enough about their interest in a property to commit the time and money to physically view the property.
REDUCE WASTED OR REPEAT VIEWINGS
Having virtual tours on property listings can give you up to 80% more qualified leads, which can hugely reduce wasted or repeat viewings from parties that either wouldn’t have been interested in the property had they known what it looked like, or want to revisit to see something they may have missed. Having a virtual tour saves time and considerable effort for the vendor, the prospective buyer, and above all the agent.
STAND OUT FROM YOUR COMPETITORS
With more and more competition, especially in the online agent forum, it’s increasingly important for your agency to stand out within its market. Offering a viewing service that your competitors don’t, puts you at an advantage right off the bat, and time and time again, we’ve seen innovation trump reputation in the agency market.
Why Have a Drone Survey?
Minimal Disruption
Small teams and airborne equipment, not dependent on existing site personnel.
Safe & efficient
Minimal crew required, no rope access or personnel working at height. Removes the time-costly need for stakeholders to physically visit the site.
Capture data from difficult places
A drone gives you access when you need to collect data from hard to reach locations.
BENEFITS FOR YOU & YOUR RESIDENTS
REDUCE UNNECESSARY VISITS
Visits are logistically tricky to work around your current residents and staff on site, virtual tours and videos can help reduce unnecessary or repeat visits.
SHOW BEST HOME CONDITION
As with any property, especially one occupied by so many people, it’s very rare for it to be at it’s best presentation every day. With our tours, we work with your team to show your home at its absolute best, and you can do so for years from our single visit.
OVERCOME BOUNDARIES
We help you reach an international or frail audience, where a single or repeat single visit may simply not be an option.
THE WHOLE FAMILY
A choice of home can be of interest to an entire family, so we help you reach this entire wider range of people beyond those that can walk through your door.
SELL ROOMS
The Care Sector is a business, and filling empty rooms is an important consideration for any home once that time comes. Our market leading content can help you do this.
SAFETY
Using Virtual Tours and Video in care homes is vital in protecting residents and staff from infection, disease and most importantly right now, COVID-19.
OPEN DAY 24/7
We enable you to make your home open to your interested parties, potential residents and their families anywhere in the world at any time.
STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD
The UK care industry is growing, with many new homes opening, often near to your existing site. We can help you stand out of the crowd.
PROTECT EXISTING RESIDENTS
Regular visitors and unfamiliar faces can be stressful for residents, we aim to protect the privacy and health of these residents.
INCREASED LEAD QUALITY
Our content allows customers to familiarise themselves with your facility before they ever arrive to you, meaning a visitor can visit already being sold on the site, and now just want to get comfortable with your great staff!
INCREASED ENGAGEMENT
The vast majority of searches for care homes is now done online, and interactive content on your websites and listings can hugely increase your website ranking and your online engagement with your audience.
