DO I REALLY NEED A FLOORPLAN?
 

YES! would be the short answer and according to Rightmove who say that having a professional floor plan included in your property listing on Rightmove increases the click through rate by 52%. At EPC2 we believe that having a professional floor plan is a critical marketing tool when you are selling a property.

​

 There are three main reasons:

​

1: It helps a buyer see how the house ‘works’, and therefore whether it is worth a viewing. Room flow, relative sizes and layout are all factors that a buyer will take into consideration, especially family buyers, and he won’t want to waste time by viewing properties which just aren’t suitable for his needs.

​

2: A floorplan can help a buyer to visualise the property after the viewing. This can become useful when he may be considering making layout changes, perhaps knocking down a wall or installing an EnSite, and a floorplan is vital for this kind of thought processing.

​

3: Floorplans can make a house seem larger. It’s very easy when you’ve viewed a house to forget rooms that you’ve seen, or overlook a part of the house altogether. This is especially true of box rooms, or areas that aren’t being fully utilised, like storage rooms. By showing the house in its entirety on a floorplan, no area will be omitted and as a result, it can even add perceived value.

​

In summary, make sure you have a floorplan on your brochure, and preferably available as a separate download on the online property portals, ensure it is clear and informative, and that it includes the total floor area. Your buyer will thank you for it.
