Why is it Important to Look at The Floorplan of a Property?

Next time you’re looking at the details for a property, we recommend taking as much time to consider the floorplan as the photography of a property. Even with a total renovation project, the footprint may largely remain the same, whereas the photographed interior will likely change to suit your taste.

• Room measurements: Not only are these helpful in terms of planning your room layout, but they can also give a really good idea of the available space in comparison to your current rooms. The same with the overall sq. ft of the property. 

TOP TIP – Measure your current rooms so you know exactly how much extra space you may or may not get with the new property.

• Compass: A good floorplan will always have a compass on it. This will allow you to determine which areas of a property/garden will catch the sun and shade and at which times of the day.

TOP TIP – Don’t dismiss a north-facing garden if it is large enough to catch the sun in various area, throughout the day.

• Garages: It is always handy to check the measurement of a property’s garage against the size of your car, if this is how you intend to use it. However, these days garages tend to be used more as home offices, gyms or for storage.

When selling your own home, consider how a professional and detailed floorplan with all of the above features could spark inspiration and interest for your own buyers, and ensure this vital tool is maximised by your chosen agent.
