Now is a very good time to utilise property videos in your marketing mix to maximise returns before the years end and sell properties quick.

Investors looking for properties between £125,000 and £175,000 can save 1% stamp duty, the government’s slice of the action on home purchases if they buy before the end of the year. The UK government makes around £5 billion per year from this 300-year-old property transfer tax.

The Stamp Duty Payable on the purchase price of properties up to £175,000 is currently 0%, over £175,000 to £250,000 1%, over £250,000 to £500,000 3% and £500,001+ it’s 4%

That will change from 31 December when the Stamp Duty threshold drops from £175,000 to £125,000. Investors buying properties in the 2010 will be paying 1% stamp duty on properties from £125,000.

This should be a great stimulus to buy in what is traditionally seen as a cooling time in the housing market.

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.
