Selling house...should i pay for a video tour?

Hi,

I am selling a fairly upmarket property soon and was offered a professional video tour service by an estate agent. The video will be on the company's website and their demo certainly looks impressive.

Is it worth paying for this service? I can see some benefits but Im not sure this is totally necessary.

I would appreciate some advice. Thank you.

I would advise caution as to what is avaliable, and be sure that the security of the house is not compromised!

video tours are standard on quite a few internet based estate agents such as half a percent., I personally wouldnt pay extra for them, Id be encouraging the EA to chuck it in for free!

I'd have it if it were free, but good photographs work just as well, if not better. If you want to see what it looks like in real life - you go and physically view it, don't you?

noot everyone has the time, especially if you have money you have more choice. I think video tours are a good idea for some places. But as alreayd meantioned, make sure it doesn't compromise your security.
