HUS Estate Agents, Truro
has become the first estate agents in Cornwall* to gain a Civil Aviation
Authority (CAA) licence to use a drone helicopter for commercial purpose to enhance
the marketing of their clients’ properties with stunning aerial photography.
The CAA Permission for Aerial Work together with passing a
course to become a Qualified Pilot for Commercial Operations with UAV Academy
based in the Cotswolds allows Hus to put their marketing 400feet above the
competition by using their DJI drone or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to photograph
property within certain safety limitations.
Hus can provide
unique aerial photos to compliment those taken from the ground, encouraging prospective buyers
to their listings and dramatically increasing saleability. An aerial picture
gives potential buyers a better understanding of where the house is situated
within the surrounding area. It is an extremely effective way of highlighting
local areas of natural beauty, landmarks, rural and sea views.
Additional benefits
include: helping a property to
stand out from other similar listings to maximise the achievable price, selling
a location/lifestyle as well as the property itself and an ability to show the
main house with its outbuildings, holiday lets, barns, land etc.in the same
photo.
The
sales market is fiercely competitive, the provision of this additional unique
service puts Hus ahead of their competitors. This is the latest step in a history of
innovation in marketing that has led the Truro based firm to be voted the Best
Estate Agent in Cornwall two years running (2014 and 2015) at the ESTAS award
ceremony hosted by Phil Spencer of Channel 4’s Location Location Location.
