I'm Matthew, and Property Photo Guy is a one-man business, so the person scanning your property with the Matterport camera is the same person who quoted you and the same person who checks every detail of your finished tour.
I got into virtual tours after watching agents waste viewings on buyers who would have ruled the place out from a walkthrough. My job is to help serious buyers self-qualify before they ever set foot inside.

This page covers residential property virtual tours for homes, new builds and lettings. If you run a hotel, restaurant, gym, retail unit, office, factory or venue, the commercial side has its own pricing, its own tour formats and a separate portfolio.

A 3D virtual tour isn't just a nice extra. For estate agents and property professionals across the UK, it's a genuine competitive advantage that helps properties stand out and attract more serious enquiries.
Buyers and renters can explore every room at their own pace, from any device. It's like an open house that never closes.
Your property is always available to view, day or night. No more scheduling conflicts or missed viewings.
Viewers who've already explored the property virtually are more likely to make an offer. Fewer time-wasters, more genuine interest.
International buyers, relocators, and investors can view your property from anywhere in the world without travelling.
Desktop, tablet, or phone, the tour works seamlessly everywhere. No special software or apps needed.
Only 22% of listings include virtual tours. Adding one instantly sets your property apart from the remaining 78%.
From scan to live tour in three simple steps. I handle everything, you just need to make sure the property is tidy.
Using my Matterport Pro 3 camera, I capture every room with precision LiDAR scanning. The process takes 30 to 60 minutes for a typical 3-bed property.
The scan data is uploaded to Matterport's cloud platform where it's processed into a fully interactive 3D model. I quality-check every detail.
Within 48 hours, you receive a shareable link and embed code. Add it to your listing, website, or social media. It works everywhere.
Whether you're an estate agent, developer, or holiday let owner, a 3D virtual tour helps your property stand out and attract more serious enquiries.
Help your listings stand out on Rightmove and Zoopla. Properties with virtual tours get significantly more engagement and attract more serious buyers.
Let guests explore your property before booking. Builds confidence and reduces cancellations. A must-have for premium rentals.
Showcase show homes to buyers who can't visit in person. Ideal for off-plan sales and developments with multiple plot types.
Buyers moving from other regions can explore properties thoroughly before making the trip. Viewings that happen are more serious and more likely to result in offers.
No hidden fees. The price you see is the price you pay. All tours include 12 months of hosting.

A well-prepared property makes a huge difference to the quality of the final tour. Follow these steps to get the best results from your scan.
Remove personal items, excess furniture, and anything that makes rooms feel cramped. The Matterport camera captures everything in 360 degrees, so clear surfaces and tidy spaces make a big difference.
Give the property a deep clean. Pay attention to kitchens, bathrooms, windows, and mirrors. The 3D scan picks up details that standard photography might miss.
Open all curtains and blinds. Turn on all interior lights, including lamps and under-cabinet lighting. Good lighting makes the 3D model look warm and inviting.
Leave all internal doors open so the camera can move freely between rooms. This creates a seamless walkthrough experience for viewers.
Add fresh flowers, neatly folded towels, or a set dining table. Small touches of staging help viewers imagine themselves living in the space.
Move cars off the driveway and tidy the front garden. If the scan includes exterior areas, first impressions matter just as much in 3D as they do in person.

“Absolutely incredible work — I only wish I'd found Matthew sooner, it would have saved so much time and money. We had a very challenging Matterport scanning project across a 14-room, 6-floor, 375-year-old building, and Matthew approached every detail with patience and precision to get the result absolutely perfect. Exceptional service from start to finish. Highly recommended.”
3D Virtual Tour Services, Bristol, Bath & Nationwide
I invested in Matterport technology about three years ago, and it's been one of the best decisions I've made for the business. The Matterport Pro3 camera I use captures a property in full 3D. Buyers can walk through every room from their sofa, zoom into details, and get a genuine sense of the space and layout.
What surprised me most was how much 3D virtual tours benefit rural Somerset properties. Buyers relocating from London or the Midlands often can't visit in person for an initial viewing. A Matterport 3D tour lets them explore the property thoroughly before making the trip, which means the viewings that do happen are far more serious and more likely to result in an offer.
For estate agents, it's a genuine differentiator. Listings with virtual tours get more clicks, more saves, and more serious enquiries. For holiday let owners, it builds confidence with guests who want to see exactly what they're booking before they commit.
I scan every property myself. It takes about 45 minutes for a typical 3-bed house, and the tour is usually live within 48 hours. Whether it's a cottage in Glastonbury, a flat in Bristol, or a show home in Wiltshire, the process is the same and the quality is consistent.
Everything you need to know about Matterport virtual tours.
A Matterport 3D virtual tour is an interactive 3D model of a property that viewers can explore from their computer, tablet, or phone. It's created using a specialised LiDAR camera (the Matterport Pro 3) that captures every room in high-resolution 3D. Viewers can walk through the property, look around 360°, switch to a dollhouse view, and even take measurements. I provide Matterport 3D virtual tours across the whole of the UK and overseas.
For a typical 3-bedroom property, the scanning takes around 30 to 60 minutes. Larger properties may take a bit longer. I usually combine the scan with a photography shoot, so there's no extra visit needed.
Your virtual tour will be ready within 48 hours of the shoot. You'll receive a shareable link and an embed code that you can add to your website, property listing, or social media.
Yes, absolutely. Matterport tours are fully compatible with Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket. I'll provide you with the correct link format for each platform. Most agents find it straightforward to add.
I'm based in Weston-super-Mare and cover the whole of the UK — from Cornwall to the Highlands. Overseas projects are also welcome. Developers, house builders, and estate agents with multi-site portfolios regularly book me for tours across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Travel is quoted upfront with no hidden costs.
Any residential property is suitable for a Matterport tour. I regularly scan everything from studio flats and terraced houses to large detached homes, new build show homes, barn conversions, and holiday lets. The technology works brilliantly regardless of property size or style.
In my experience, yes. Properties with 3D virtual tours tend to get significantly more online views and attract more serious enquiries. For holiday lets and Airbnb properties across the UK, a 3D virtual tour can significantly increase booking rates because guests can see exactly what they're getting before they book.
A 360° photo is a single panoramic image taken from one spot. A Matterport 3D virtual tour connects multiple scan points together into a seamless 3D model that viewers can walk through. It also includes a dollhouse view (a full 3D model of the entire property), a floorplan view, and a measurement tool. It's a much richer, more immersive experience.
The same advice applies as for photography. A tidy, well-presented property will look best. I'd recommend a general declutter, clean surfaces, and good lighting. I'll guide you through the prep when you book. The Matterport camera captures everything, so it's worth taking the time to present the property at its best.
Yes. Matterport tours are increasingly used by insurance companies for claims documentation, by facilities managers for building audits, and by contractors who need to understand a space before arriving on site. The measurement tool built into every tour is particularly useful for these applications.
Whether it's a sales listing in Bristol, a holiday let in Bath, or a new build show home, a professional 3D virtual tour will help your property stand out and attract more serious enquiries.
