*A property video in the UK typically costs anywhere from around £50 for a professionally edited social reel (you supply the footage) to £300–£800+ for a full shoot-and-edit by a videographer, with cinematic tours of high-end homes running into four figures.* The gap is wide because "property video" covers everything from a 20-second phone reel to a filmed production. This guide breaks down real ranges by type and explains exactly what you're paying for.

The two things you're really paying for

Every property video cost splits into two jobs, and knowing which you need is what controls the price:

  1. Filming — someone attends the property with a camera/gimbal/drone. This is the expensive part: travel, time on site, kit.
  2. Editing — turning raw footage into a finished, captioned, graded, music-synced video.

If you (or your photographer) can capture decent footage on a phone, you only pay for editing — which is where the biggest savings sit.

Typical UK price ranges by type

Video typeTypical UK costWhat it is
Social reel — edit only~£40–£100You supply footage; editor delivers a vertical, captioned reel
Walkthrough — edit only~£60–£150Your footage cut into a clean full walkthrough
Reel/walkthrough — shoot + edit~£200–£500Videographer films and edits a standard home
Cinematic tour — shoot + edit~£500–£1,500+Filmed production for premium/luxury homes
Drone/aerial add-on~£100–£300Licensed drone footage on top of a shoot

The single biggest cost lever is whether you're paying someone to attend the property. Edit-only services are dramatically cheaper because the expensive on-site time disappears.

What drives the price up or down

  • Shoot vs edit-only — the biggest factor by far (see above).
  • Property size — more rooms mean more footage and a longer edit.
  • Turnaround — same-day rush work costs more than standard.
  • Extras — drone, twilight footage, virtual-staging video, branded graphics.
  • Volume — regular agents on a package pay far less per video than one-off buyers.

How to get the cost down without cheapening the result

The smart play for busy agents: shoot it yourself, outsource the edit. A phone and a gimbal capture perfectly usable footage; the professional finish comes from the edit, not the camera. That combination gets you a polished, platform-ready video for a fraction of a full shoot-and-edit — and you're not waiting on a videographer's diary.

That's exactly what VizCraft's property video editing is built for: send raw footage, get back a cut, captioned, colour-graded, music-synced video — vertical or horizontal — usually within 24 hours. See current video pricing, and if you're new to this, start with our video marketing guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a rough 2026 guide: an edit-only social reel costs around £40–£100 (you supply footage), a shoot-and-edit for a standard home is around £200–£500, and a cinematic tour of a high-end property can run £500–£1,500 or more. The main driver is whether someone films on site.

Because filming means paying for travel, on-site time and equipment. If you capture the footage yourself on a phone or gimbal, you only pay for the edit, which removes the most expensive part of the job.

Yes. Modern phones, ideally with a gimbal for steady movement, capture footage that's more than good enough. The polish that makes a video convert comes from the edit — pacing, captions, colour and music.

Professional editing typically takes anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. Services aimed at agents often turn standard reels and walkthroughs around within 24 hours.

For most listings, yes. Video generates more enquiries and holds attention longer than photos alone, and edit-only options make it affordable enough that the return usually outweighs the cost.
