Introduction

With smartphones it is very easy to take videos of your property to compliment the photos. Now you could try and do this all in 1 shot, however if you make a mistake you potentially will have to start again, therefore what we suggest is to take a video of each location starting with the front of the property and then go from room to room taking a separate video, so if you are not happy you can just delete this video and retake the shot.
