please move if in wrong place, couldnt think were it would be best to post this:
which website would people recommend for close up aerial photos of houses and gardens?
i have had a look on a couple sites but they are not brilliant. there are some sites which you have to pay to use, so staying away from them!
I want to show my gran her house and garden from above, she is amazed by what the internet can do still and has never seen her house in that way!
thanks for any help.

land registry site allows you to search for a property by viewing a hybrid of an ariel map and standard form. If you search within a postcode, as if you didn't know the house number, it will give you an ariel view. Quality is better in inner cities. You don't need to pay.
Google earth also has ariel views.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I always use this site: Flashearth
Just pop your postcode in, and then use the different maps on the left hand side to see which one comes out best!
I've defaulted its location to Alton Towers, have a play with it and see the different results!0 -

you need to look at them all. they vary in the ages of the dates when photos were taken. (and quality).
google earth is best for me.Get some gorm.0 -
Thanks for that.
That's the first time i've ever managed to find an aerial shot of our town, never mind my house. We come from the land that Google Earth forgot! 0 -

Nope - they're all at least 7 years old. Even the Land Registry.
I know, because I've lived here for 5 years and the previous owners applied a coating to the exterior - kind of rendered plaster and painted white. But all the aerial photos show the old (shabby) brick exterior.
Maybe "they" (whoever they are) only take photos of rural areas infrequently - on the basis that they don't change much ....? Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac0
