Online photographs often determine whether someone clicks through to a property listing or moves on. The aim is not to make a home look different from reality; it is to present its genuine strengths clearly.
What to consider
Tidy rooms, open curtains, turn on working lights and photograph spaces from a natural viewpoint. Show the layout, key rooms, outdoor areas and any features that materially affect the property. Avoid extreme wide-angle distortion, misleading edits or images that hide important defects.
A practical checklist
Use recent photographs, confirm you have permission to publish them, remove personal documents and sensitive items from view, and make sure the images match the current condition. Add captions where a feature might otherwise be misunderstood, and include accurate property details in the listing.
The takeaway
Trustworthy photographs attract better-informed enquiries and reduce disappointment at the viewing.
