A live virtual viewing over WhatsApp, FaceTime or Zoom — we walk the property, the applicant directs the camera, questions get honest answers in real time, and a recording is available afterwards. All they need is a phone.
How it works
What separates a livestream viewing from a marketing video is control. A pre-edited video shows what the seller chose to show; on a live call, the applicant decides. "Can you open that cupboard?" "What's behind that door?" "Show me the water pressure." "Point the camera out of the bedroom window." We go where they ask and answer what they ask, unscripted — which is why a remote viewing over a video call earns a level of trust an edited video never quite reaches.
The mechanics are deliberately simple. We attend the property at the agreed time, the applicant answers a video call on WhatsApp, FaceTime or Zoom, and we walk the property together — every room, the exterior, the street if they want it. Calls typically run fifteen to thirty minutes, unhurried. If they'd like a recording to re-watch or to show a partner in another time zone, we share one after the call.
It exists for the applicants who can't be there: tenants relocating for a new job who can't burn annual leave on viewing trips, overseas buyers managing a purchase across time zones, and students — often with parents involved from another country — securing accommodation before term starts.
For landlords and vendors the appeal is just as direct: the applicant pool stops being limited to people within driving distance. A tenant relocating from Manchester — or from Dubai — can commit with confidence, which shortens voids and widens competition for the property. We handle the property side end to end: access, presentation and an honest camera.
Works best with
A 360° virtual tour lets the applicant explore on their own first, so the live call is spent on the questions that matter rather than a first look. Applicants who arrive at the call pre-qualified decide faster — and more often say yes.
A walkthrough video on the listing draws remote applicants in before they ever enquire. The livestream then closes what the video started — the same property, this time answering back.
Applicant nearby after all? If they can attend in person, our accompanied domestic viewings and weekend slots cover the door-opening too. Whatever the mix, request it in one go via the contact page.
Common questions
It depends on the property's location and whether you need a single call or a series for several applicants. Send the postcode and the applicant's situation by WhatsApp or the quote form and we'll reply with a fixed quote.
Just a phone. If they can take a video call on WhatsApp, FaceTime or Zoom, they can view the property — no apps to install beyond what they already use, no account setup, nothing technical.
WhatsApp, FaceTime and Zoom as standard — we use whichever the applicant is comfortable with. Other platforms are usually fine too; tell us what they use when you book.
Yes, on request. We record the walkthrough and share it after the call so the applicant — and anyone deciding with them — can re-watch before committing. Many decisions are made on the second watch, not the first.
Many relocating tenants, overseas buyers and students do exactly that. Because the applicant directs the camera and gets unscripted answers in real time, it is far closer to a genuine viewing than a pre-edited video — and pairing it with a 360° virtual tour they can revisit at leisure covers the rest.
