With inspections and open-homes currently paused, Real Estate professionals are seeking alternative approaches to showcase their listings to home-buyers and tenants.
Urban Angles Virtual Property Inspections are one of the best methods of doing just that, providing an ingenious option when real-life property inspections are off the cards.
Here are some of the many reasons why an Urban Angles Virtual Property Inspection will be a hit with buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants –
Get a better sense of a property
Driving past or attending an inspection is a sure-fire way to determine the immediate suitability of a property to a buyer or tenant’s needs. Viewing a property in complete detail online, via a virtual inspection, speeds up this process with buyers able to complete this necessary process quickly and at their own leisure.
Mitigate off-the-plan uncertainty
Buying a new home off-the-plan is full of so many uncertainties – buyers are already well aware they are making a decision based on floorplans, artist impressions, display suites, and trust. A virtual inspection helps buyers visualise the property before it is even constructed, taking some of the guesswork out of the off-the-plan buying journey.
Secure a more qualified buyer
Attending inspections is hard yakka, often fraught with crowds of competing buyers and tenants, taking up weekends rather spent elsewhere. Virtual tours allow buyers to browse the finer details of a property from the comfort of their home, so you know when they reach out to the listing agent, they have already shortlisted your property with genuine interest.
Revisit at your leisure!
Follow-up inspections with serious buyers and tenants can take up a huge amount of a real estate agent’s day. Virtual Inspections allow buyers to re-visit their shortlisted homes many times, mitigating the workload of busy agents.

Knowledge-base context
How this topic fits current Urban Angles guidance
The retouching article favours preparing an uncluttered property before capture, avoiding unnecessary personal details and using virtual furniture thoughtfully. It discusses removing temporary items and changing grass or paint where corresponding real changes are occurring. These examples are not a universal list of free editing inclusions.
Its treatment of permanent features requires care:
| Source statement | Implication for KB use |
|---|---|
| The retouching article generally rejects removing permanent fixtures such as power lines or neighbouring buildings. | Preserve this restriction when explaining the article. |
| The same article describes idealised builder/architecture imagery with neighbours or distractions removed. | The article itself distinguishes a different use case without defining a complete approval policy. |
| The operational FAQ says removal of permanent external structures can misrepresent a property and requires written acceptance of legal responsibility for the requested edit. | Preserve the stated condition; do not convert it into blanket permission to make the change. |
This is a source conflict and a context distinction that the KB cannot resolve. Obtain Urban Angles' review of the exact alteration and intended use; do not present either the older article or a written-liability condition as automatic authorisation. The blog's emphasis is faithful representation, while its sales-performance assertions remain promotional. Sources: Retouching article, Operational FAQ — Post-production / Retouching / Editing.
Relevant production capability
The related current service pathway is floor plans and virtual services. The following KB material describes that capability and its planning context. Historical dates, equipment, promotions and campaign examples in the archived article remain source-specific and are not presented as current offers.
The service page explicitly identifies real estate as a core market and also names developers, builders, architects and commercial agencies, including complex and higher-budget projects. Its FAQ extends the application to developments, commercial projects and large residential builds.
Published uses include showing buyers or stakeholders a property's layout through plans; creating dusk-style presentation when shooting conditions did not provide it; exploring a space before physical inspection; furnishing vacant interiors digitally; improving or altering image presentation; and supporting clients' photo or film production through studio hire. Virtual Styling examples span real estate, investment properties, first homes and high-end developments. The audiences viewing the assets are not necessarily the customers purchasing them. Source: service descriptions and FAQs
The FAQ directs image selections and amendment markups through DREAM. When proofs are available, an email links the customer to the images. Selected images proceed to post-production after submission. Pins and comments should identify the specific location and required change. Phone or email image selections are described as slower.
The service page says the collection can work within campaigns alongside Photography, Video, 3D Visualisation and Drone and Aerial. This does not establish that they are included in every package.
Practical inference: suitable source imagery is needed for image changes and access is needed for on-site capture. These sources do not state whether all client-supplied imagery is accepted, or specify a compulsory source-image format. Confirm inputs for each order.
