Property Video: Formats, Lengths and Where to Use Them

A well-made property video does what photos alone can’t: it moves through a home the way a buyer would, builds atmosphere, and holds attention on social media. But not every listing needs the same kind of video. Here’s a plain-English guide to the formats we produce and where each one works best.

What goes into a property video

Most property videos are short, polished promotional films rather than long documentaries. Depending on the package, they can include:

  • Stabilised walkthrough footage, inside and out
  • Feature-detail and lifestyle shots
  • Drone footage where it adds value
  • An agent introduction or “walk-and-talk”
  • Music, text overlays, logo and address graphics
  • Optional voice-over

Choosing the right length

Length should match where the video will be seen:

  • 15–30 seconds: social media reels for Instagram, TikTok and Facebook
  • 30–60 seconds: a punchy promotional video for portals and agent pages
  • 60–90 seconds: a standard property film with a full walkthrough
  • 1.5–3 minutes: a premium or luxury property film

One shoot, many versions

From a single shoot we can deliver several versions so your content works everywhere:

  • Horizontal version for websites and portals
  • Vertical version for Instagram and TikTok
  • Short teaser to drive clicks
  • Agent-branded and unbranded (portal-safe) versions

Which one is right for your listing?

A family home in a competitive suburb might only need a sharp 30-second reel, while a luxury property benefits from a longer cinematic film. If you’re not sure, we’ll recommend the format that suits your property and marketing plan.
