Photo ownership

If we took some of the photos of our house ourselves which were then used by an estate agent to market our house (in their brochures, internet etc), can we pass them on to be used again if we switch estate agents?

What does your agreement with the original agents say about the matter: Apologies, but I can't read it from here...0

In a word, yes!0

Haha, neither can I, I'm at work
I didn't think it would be mentioned in the contract - as it's more usual for the estate agent to use their own photos which of course they'd have ownership of, but if it hasn't come up with anyone on here before, I'll just have to find out for myself as you suggest.0 -
Unless you explicitly gave the agents control of the photos copyright or ownership, then yes, you can do whatever you want with the photos.
You own the photographs as you took the pictures. Sending them a copy to use wouldn't transfer any rights unless there were some terms and conditions involved.*Assuming you're in England or Wales.0 -
Its not about anyone's experience really.. A photo is owned by the person who captures the picture, unless you sign away the ownership in a contract.0
