What these statistics mean for your property

The data is clear: professional property photography is not a luxury — it is one of the most cost-effective investments you can make when selling or letting a property. The difference between amateur and professional photos directly impacts how many people see your listing, how quickly it sells, and ultimately how much you achieve.

For estate agents, the statistics make a compelling case for offering professional photography as standard rather than an optional extra. With 72.2% of agents reporting that quality photography helps win instructions, and listings receiving up to 118% more views, the return on investment is substantial.

Drone photography and virtual tours add further value. Aerial shots help buyers understand the property's setting and surroundings, while Matterport 3D tours allow remote viewing that filters out casual browsers and attracts serious buyers. Properties with virtual tours receive 87% more views — a figure that continues to grow as buyers increasingly expect immersive online experiences.
