Drone property hire is a booming business in Northern Ireland.

It’s been popular in the USA and other countries for some time, but new technology, falling prices and greater acceptance of drones means it’s now available here.

Aerial photography with a drone is the perfect way to showcase a property and speed up a sale. It can also help you to sell your home for the best possible price. Other than a few blips and dips, the Irish property market has been on an upward curve for decades. But if you have an attractive home with gardens and views, drone property hire can make a big difference to the outcome of the sale.

Drone property hire specialists have the equipment and expertise to capture the best possible aerial photographs. Don’t be tempted to cut corners and look for cheap drone hire, as it could result in legal problems as well as disappointment with the results. Professional aerial photographers who use drones must have approval for commercial work from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA).

A pilot must pass tests to prove his competence and awareness of the safety aspects of flying drones.

To ensure you get the best results when you book a drone for property marketing, make sure the garden is tidy and looking its best. A drone may not be able to fly if the weather is bad, but aerial property photographs usually look best when the sun is shining anyway. It’s a good tip to remove vehicles from the drive before the drone takes off.

An experience aerial photographer with a drone will understand the importance of respecting privacy, but it can be worth mentioning to neighbours that an unmanned aircraft will be flying. Drones can raise concerns about ‘spying’ and safety, so letting people know you have booked one is reassuring.

Drone Safe Register’s membership includes hundreds of IAA & CAA approved pilots with experience of aerial property photography.
