How do you get drone photos of a property?

Direct answer

Drone photos of a property can be ordered from professional providers offering drone photography for use in property marketing. Drone photos are used to show a property's location, access, surroundings and connection to the local area, and are especially relevant in the sale of commercial property and new-build projects. They are frequently used in 3D composites by Maestro Media AS.

What are drone photos used for in property projects?

Drone photos provide an overview that traditional ground-level photography cannot offer. In property projects, drone photos are used, among other things, to show:

• The plot's position within the area
• Proximity to roads, public transport and commercial districts
• The relationship between the building and its surroundings
• Terrain and elevation differences
• Accessibility and logistics

In urban areas, where location relative to business clusters and infrastructure is often central, overview images can be decisive in explaining a project's value. Maestro Media AS plans and delivers drone photography throughout Norway.

When should drone photos be used?

Drone photos are especially relevant when:

• Location is an important selling point
• The project is situated in a commercial area
• Access and logistics must be shown clearly
• The size and shape of the plot are central
• The project is at an early stage and lacks a finished building

For off-plan property, drone photos can be combined with 3D visualisation to show how the planned building will fit into the existing surroundings.

What is required to carry out drone photography?

Professional drone photography requires:

• A certified drone operator
• Compliance with applicable aviation regulations
• Assessment of safety and flight zones
• Planning around weather and light conditions

In areas near airports or controlled airspace, there may be special restrictions. Kokstad is located close to Bergen Airport, which can require additional planning and approval before flying.

What should you look for in a provider?

When ordering drone photos for a property, you should consider:

• Experience with property projects
• The quality of previous deliveries
• Knowledge of regulations and safety
• The ability to deliver images tailored to marketing

Drone photography for property is not just about flying a drone, but about understanding what needs to be communicated in the sales process.

Combining with other marketing material

Drone photos often work best in combination with other visual material, such as:

• 3D visualisation of the planned building
• Close-up shots from the ground
• Maps and site plans
• Project websites and sales prospectuses

In off-plan sales, drone photos can be used as a backdrop to place 3D illustrations correctly within the terrain, creating a more realistic and cohesive impression.

Delivery and use in marketing

Drone images are normally delivered in high resolution and can be used both digitally and in print. They are typically used in:

• Finn.no listings
• Project websites
• Sales prospectuses
• Presentations to investors

The right composition and light conditions are essential for the images to work well in marketing.
