A week that books viewings
Agents do not need a viral video. They need the person who already likes the street to feel safe booking. One explainer a week (lease length, EPC, chain, what happens after an offer) does that. Two or three photo tours of real instructions, plus your viewing hours before the weekend, is a full rhythm for a small branch.
Film what the portal photos hide: the cupboard under the stairs, the winter garden, the walk to the station on a weekday. Say if the second bedroom fits a bed and a desk, and say if it does not. Viewers who turn up and feel misled do not refer their friends.
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
The United Kingdom is not one property system, and a script written for a London flat can be wrong on a Glasgow tenement or a Belfast terrace. In England and Northern Ireland the purchase tax is Stamp Duty Land Tax. Scotland charges Land and Buildings Transaction Tax. Wales charges Land Transaction Tax. Thresholds and rates change, so send people to the official calculator for the country the home is in. Do not quote a figure from memory.
Tenure differs too. Leasehold flats are common in England and Wales. Scotland's system is different. Selling in Scotland usually involves a Home Report early on. Northern Ireland uses rates rather than council tax, while England, Scotland and Wales use council tax bands. Deposit protection schemes are not the same across the countries either.
Disclosure is not optional colour. In England, National Trading Standards has published material information guidance for property listings. Read the current version before you turn a listing into a video, and put the same facts in the video that you put on the portal. An EPC is part of marketing many homes in England and Wales, with exemptions, so check before you publish a tour that skips it. None of this is legal or tax advice. It is a list of things to look up in the country you sell in.
What not to say
Do not promise that a price will rise, that a tax bill will be a certain number, or that a short lease is cheap to extend. Do not use another agent's photos, and do not use stock footage as if it were the flat. If a detail is material, it belongs in the video in the same words as the listing, not as a joke in the caption.
A first-time buyer video can explain words. It should end by pointing people to their solicitor, their mortgage adviser, and the official tax calculator. The reel starts the conversation. It does not complete the purchase.
Making it in TallyReel
Type one idea, such as the five questions above, or paste your own script, and edit every line before anything renders. For a tour, start from your listing photos in the order a visitor would walk the home. Voiceover, captions and music are added in the browser, and you can put the branch logo on an end card. Schedule the finished videos across the week with TallyReel so the Saturday hours go out on Thursday without anyone staying late.
