    On the flipside, the one for the house we were supposed to be buying, (EA Purple Bricks) was awful. Terrible muzak and left viewers feeling sick & dizzy - akin to a ride on the Waltzer after a big curry & a bottle of wine :o
    Link...?

    Sorry I didn't mean video tour, more the 3D ones - here's an example https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=XuHUQBfKhAC

    Feels a bit intrusive now they've taken property off the market.
    I don't bear any grudge despite being devastated when they pulled out 3 months into the process.

    Floorplan yes, I like to see what the layout is like, if the rooms are in the wrong place then I can swerve it. Dimensions are useful too but imo a floorplan is more important.

    Have to agree with most in this thread - always like to see a detailed floor plan.
    A clear and simple layout which is accurate and has the correct sizes (including total floor area) etc etc.
    Cannot stand 3D floor plans
    If a seller/EA cannot be bothered to do that - why should they get my business !
    As an aside - seeing as i am looking at flats - some EA's cannot even be bothered to put what floor the property is on !

    Of course you can see all that from google earth IF ONLY the google earth link in the estate agents details was actually centred on the house for sale, not a random property nearby.
    Even if you only have the photos and road name, it's usually rarely hard to figure out which it is on streetview.
    If there is a market link with price history that gets you to the real address quickly through sold data.

    If relatively new it is sometimes possible to find the site promotion material with some careful Google. 

    Planning is often another useful resource.
