Right after some high-quality photos for the listing, the floorplan is the next most important marketing material needed for a successful property listing to gather people’s attention.
The floorplan helps buyers to see where rooms are located in context to one another and how the property flows. It gives the buyer an idea of important details, such as the number of windows in each room, the way in which the space is oriented, how much storage space is available, areas of the house that might not otherwise be photographed are captured.
If you are marketing to out-of-town buyers, floor plans are an invaluable tool for communicating how the property comes together, helping to make these buyers more comfortable with buying a property they have not inspected.
The building plans held by council contain lots of specification details which often do not show any outside areas such as patios and decks and are often not up-to-date and accurate. In any event, these detailed black and white copies are not suited to posting online as a clear and compelling layout plan for the property.
For commercial properties tenants and buyers need to know the size and layout of the space. By including clear, easy-to-read floorplans in your property listing, you make it easier for them to understand the layout and scale of your space.
Once you have found a tenant or buyer, your floorplans can be used to plan the fit-out of the space. Whether you offer fit–out services or your tenant must provide them, having accurate floor plans that are ready to use saves everyone both time and money. This is a value-added benefit that you can include in your marketing. Commercial real estate floor plans make it faster and easier for your customers, interior designers, and contractors to plan and visualize the layout of the interior.
