Is a floor plan a legal requirement?

It is not a strict legal requirement to have one. However, the law says you must provide honest information to buyers. Most agents say listings with plans get many more views and clicks.

How much does a floor plan cost?

As a guide, a single plan is around £60 to £120. You can often save money by booking it with your energy survey. Always ask your professional for a fixed price before they start.

Can I draw my own floor plan?

You can try, but it is risky for house sales. If your measurements are wrong, you could get into legal trouble for misrepresenting the house. Professionals use lasers to make sure every inch is correct.

Are garages included in the plan?

Attached garages are usually included in the main drawing. If you have a separate shed or home office, tell your professional. They can add these as extra rooms to show off the total space.

How long does the visit take?

A visit usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. This depends on how many rooms you have and the size of the building. The final drawing is usually emailed to you within 24 hours.

What is a 3D floor plan?

A 3D plan adds depth and shows the height of the walls. It looks more like a real photo of the rooms. These are great for showing the feel of a home to online buyers.
