Digital Twin for Estate Agents
A digital twin is an immersive, dimensionally accurate 3D model of a property that allows buyers and tenants to explore every room remotely — navigating the space as if they were physically inside. For estate agents, digital twins replace static photography with an interactive experience that works around the clock, available to buyers anywhere in the world.
At XP Surveys, we create property digital twins using Matterport technology — capturing a complete navigable 3D model of a property in a single site visit. The result is a hosted, shareable digital twin that can be embedded directly into Rightmove, Zoopla and agency websites, supporting faster decisions and fewer unnecessary viewings.
Why Estate Agents Use Digital Twins
Property buyers increasingly expect to explore listings remotely before committing to a physical viewing. A digital twin gives estate agents a significant competitive advantage — providing an immersive experience that static images and video walkthroughs cannot replicate.
Key advantages for estate agents:
- Buyers spend significantly more time engaging with 3D tours than static listings
- Remote buyers and international clients can view properties without travelling
- Reduces the number of unqualified or speculative viewings
- Properties with digital twins stand out on Rightmove and Zoopla listings
- Available 24/7 — buyers explore at their own pace, in their own time
- Shareable link works across email, WhatsApp and social media
Digital twins are particularly effective for premium residential properties, new build developments, rental listings and properties with unique or complex layouts that photographs struggle to convey.
Accurate Floor Plans from Scan Data
Every digital twin capture includes the option to generate accurate, dimensioned floor plans directly from the scan data — eliminating the need for a separate floor plan survey and providing buyers with a clear understanding of the property layout alongside the immersive tour.
Before & After Property Documentation
Digital twins are increasingly used by estate agents and developers to document properties before and after refurbishment — providing a clear, timestamped visual record of the property’s condition and transformation.
Applications include:
- Pre-sale condition records for vendor and agent protection
- Before-and-after capture for refurbishment and development projects
- New build handover documentation for developers and buyers
- Lettings check-in and check-out records
- Long-term property asset records for portfolio management
This provides estate agents, landlords and developers with a reliable visual reference that can be accessed and shared at any point throughout the property lifecycle.
New Build & Development Marketing
For developers and housebuilders, digital twins provide an effective marketing tool from the moment a property is ready for viewing — capturing show homes, completed units and development phases in a format that can be shared with buyers, investors and planning consultants remotely.
How It Works
Our digital twin process is straightforward and designed to minimise disruption to vendors and tenants.
- Booking: Contact us to arrange a convenient capture appointment
- Site Visit: Our operator captures the full property in a single visit using Matterport scanning equipment
- Processing: Scan data is processed and the digital twin is compiled into a navigable 3D model
- Delivery: A hosted shareable link is provided, ready to embed into your listing or share directly with buyers
- Hosting: The digital twin remains live online for the duration of the listing
Most residential properties can be captured in two to three hours, with the digital twin typically available within 24 hours of the site visit.
Compatible with All Major Property Portals
Digital twins produced by XP Surveys are compatible with Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket and agency websites. The shareable link can also be embedded into email campaigns, brochures and social media marketing without any additional technical setup.
Who Uses Property Digital Twins?
Digital twins are used by property professionals who need to present properties effectively to remote or time-poor buyers:
- Residential estate agents marketing properties for sale
- Lettings agents presenting rental properties to prospective tenants
- Property developers marketing new build and refurbished units
- Auctioneers providing pre-auction property access
- Commercial agents presenting office, retail and industrial space
- Landlords and portfolio managers documenting rental properties
Digital Twin Cost for Estate Agents
Digital twin pricing depends on property size and the level of additional outputs required. Residential properties typically start from £250 + VAT, with floor plans available as an add-on.
For larger or commercial properties, portfolio pricing is available for estate agents requiring multiple captures across a number of instructions.
