Estate agents and property developers have sold, rented or leased properties to customers in the same traditional method for quite some time.  A small photograph in the property section of newspapers and specialist magazines, 2 or 3 photographs on a company website and feature displays in their office windows.
However in the USA, Canada and Asia real estate sellers have embraced the power of video to market property to a global audience.  With 80% or buyers starting their search for property online using the internet, it makes a lot of sense.
Property videos can be viewed by potential customers where ever they are in the world, 24/7 365 days a year. Instead of the usual 2 or 3 photographs a slideshow video can incorporate 20 or 30 photos and those with a little larger budget can have their property filmed. A property filmed from the customer’s point of view (POV) allows the buyer from the comfort of their home or office to have a virtual tour of the property and surrounding area.
Titles can incorporate more information about the property, music, voice over and even presenters can add that extra professional touch to engage the buyer and sell them their dream property.
Property videos are the essential first viewing. This saves the estate agent or property developer time and money from wasted viewings.  
Property Videos can be embedded onto the estate agents website or uploaded on to popular sites like Youtube and other video hosting websites. The links can also be emailed to clients to view at their leisure.
So if your client is in New York they can view a number of property videos before they fly to London knowing that what they have seen online has given them a more rounded picture of the properties available and are primed to buy their new home in the UK’s capital.

It seems that more landlords in the buy-to-let sector are showing a little more optimism along with the recent property price rise. There is a strong belief that over the next 12 months property prices will continue on their steady rise.

London property prices are expected to increase at the current levels or rise within the next twelve months. The rest of the UK is anticipated to follow suit but at a steadier pace to the capital.

The overall outlook of the property market, although still very delicate, looks set to be very positive and optimistic over the coming year.

Landlords forecast a modest rise of 1% for London property and a fall of 1.5% for UK property outside Greater London.

However Investors are still attracted to London and the capital is the preferred choice for investors mainly because of the historic market and strong dollar.
