Why add a floor plan to your property listings?

Few estate agents ask their clients if they have a floor plan of the property. It can be tempting to publish the listing without bothering about this “detail”.

1 - To stand out

Yet house plans are becoming essential in a competitive property market:

In 2024, one in ten buyers said they ignored a listing that didn't include a detailed plan (according to Innovative Imaging Professionals).
Since 2016, more than 100,000 plans have been created with Nodalview.

2- To benefit the agent AND the buyer

How to create a floor plan online?

Use an online software

If your customer doesn't have his house plan, don't worry! There is software allowing you to draw up your plans without an architect. Examples include Canva, Floorplanner and Nodalview.

You can also make your free house plan from an online model. But these plans are often generic and imprecise, and the platforms may ask you to pay anyway.

The winning combo

2D plans and virtual tours

During a virtual tour, your potential buyers take an immersive property tour. They walk from room to room thanks to 360° panoramas.

Combined with a 2D-floor plan, visitors can see which room they are in in real time. They can also click on a room to go there.

What about 3D floor plans?

Online 3D plans offer an immersive view, ideal for a spacious, high-end property, a renovation project or a new-build home. A 2D plan is often sufficient to help buyers envision the space.

💡 On average, Nodalview users add a floor plan to 32% of their properties. These results align with trends in the UK, where around 55% of online listings contain at least one plan.
