The benefits of having a floor plan for your London home are very useful, the main benefit of professional floor planning is to help you show a better view of your property to potential buyers in London and help get viewings on your property. There are few things that are more frustrating than getting feedback from your agents to say that the viewers loved the location the layout wasn’t right’ or ‘they only want an open-plan living space’.
This can easily be avoided by having good plans as part of the marketing materials for your home. Having a better-quality viewings will mean less time wasted on cleaning and preparing for appointments and, ultimately, less viewings before you sell or rent your home! A digital plan will also give the marketing of your property a much more professional appearance and is a great addition to professionally taken photographs.
Remember, some people will not even come to view a property without a plan - don’t miss out on your potential buyer or tenant by not having a property plan!
How long does it take.
This will obviously vary depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the layout. A home with multiple floors or unusual shaped rooms will take a lot longer than a modern, purpose-built home. A typical purpose-built apartment should take around 30 minutes, with a normal family house taking closer to 45 minutes.
What happens during the appointment.
As the plan is designed to document the total size of the property, the planner will need access to all room and auxiliary spaces in order to obtain accurate measurements so you need to ensure that access is freely available. The planner cannot assume a measurement, or take your word for it, so plan ahead - it will make the appointment much quicker!
Typically, professional plans will include a measurement of the outside spaces (if practical) as well as garages or storage spaces or rooms. They do not typically include the measurement of loft spaces. Planners are only able to document the spaces as they sit and are unable to add any detail for potential space, regardless of whether planning is already obtained (if you have separate documents for this, they should be supplied to the agents or directly to the viewer).
What floor planning does not include
Whilst every effort is taken to ensure that all measurements are accurate and provide a fair representation of the property, it should be noted that floor plans are created with a disclaimer that they are ‘Illustrations for identification purposes only’.
As a result, they should not be used for any architectural, construction or planning purposes. In many homes, particularly period properties, not all rooms are perfectly square, even though they might seem like it to the naked eye - or the plan. Therefore, plans should also not be relied upon for the purposes of buying furniture etc. A floor plan should also never be considered as any type of ‘survey’ on the property. No assumptions should be made in relation to structural integrity, location of supporting walls, extension potential or similar.
