Matterport Tours

Matterport Virtual Tours

Matterport Virtual Tours offer architects, property developers and construction professionals high-quality digital 360° video tours of a property using software and smart cameras (or even smartphones) and are perfect for immersive 360° house tours.

After capturing dozens of 3D images of each room, with its décor, furnishings, layout, and so on, the software pieces together a high-definition panorama, allowing viewers to ‘walk’ around the property and see virtual tour footage of each surveyed room.

Our Matterport Tours: Benefits for Real Estate, Construction and Surveying

This matterport virtual tours technology is a big help with accelerating collaboration and project management, where teams of professionals, vendors or buyers benefit from access to immersive 3D models.  Our team have been using Matterport cameras to provide our clients with 360° virtual property tours that provide a closer, more detailed look into their property.  This saves architects and property professionals hours of time from saved visits to the site.  With one site visit from us, you and all the project stakeholders can view every inch of the property from the comfort of their chairs.

 

Transforming Commercial Properties into Interactive Digital Spaces

Traditional photography remains valuable, but individual photographs cannot always communicate how rooms connect, how people move through a building or how large and complex commercial spaces are arranged.

A Matterport 3D digital twin provides a more complete visual representation. Users can move through the property, examine different areas, understand the layout and return to important details whenever required.

XP Surveys captures commercial properties using Matterport technology and converts them into interactive digital environments that can be viewed on computers, tablets and mobile devices. The finished tour can be embedded into a property website, added to a commercial listing or shared directly with prospective buyers, tenants and project stakeholders.

Why Virtual Tours Are Needed

Global Access

Commercial property interest is no longer limited to people who live near the building. Investors, occupiers and decision-makers may be based elsewhere in the UK or overseas.

A Matterport virtual tour allows them to explore the property remotely at any time. This can extend the reach of a listing while reducing the cost and delay associated with travelling to an initial viewing.

Complete Transparency

Property photographs normally show a carefully selected series of viewpoints. Although useful, they may not explain how individual rooms, corridors, floors and access points relate to one another.

An interactive 3D tour gives viewers control over the experience. They can choose where to look, move between spaces and inspect the layout at their own pace. This provides a clearer understanding of the property before arranging a physical visit.

Greater Convenience

Coordinating commercial property viewings can be difficult when several directors, investors, consultants or project teams are involved. A digital twin remains available around the clock, allowing stakeholders to review the property when convenient and revisit it without requesting another appointment.

How Matterport Helps Commercial Estate Agents

Better-Qualified Enquiries

Prospective buyers and tenants can assess the basic suitability of a property before attending in person. They can examine its circulation, room arrangement and general condition, helping them decide whether it meets their requirements.

This pre-qualification process can reduce unsuitable viewings and allow commercial agents to concentrate on prospects with a genuine interest in the property.

A More Efficient Marketing Process

One professionally captured digital twin can support property portals, agency websites, email campaigns, presentations and social media marketing. It gives agents a consistent visual asset that can be shared with multiple prospects without repeatedly preparing the building for initial viewings.

Potential to Support Faster Decisions

Matterport has reported that properties marketed with 3D tours sold up to 31% faster in research based on residential listings. This figure relates to specific US datasets and should not be treated as a guaranteed result for every UK commercial property. However, it illustrates how detailed online access can help viewers assess properties and make informed decisions earlier in the process.

A Stronger Competitive Position

High-quality 3D property marketing can help an agency distinguish its service from competitors relying only on photographs and basic floor plans. It also gives agents a tangible marketing benefit to present when competing for new instructions.

How Matterport Helps Property Developers

Marketing Completed and Partially Completed Spaces

Developers can use Matterport to document completed properties, show homes and suitable areas of developments under construction. A digital twin can help prospective occupiers understand spatial relationships more clearly than a conventional photographic gallery.

For developments that have not yet been built, computer-generated visualisation is normally required. Matterport is most effective when capturing an existing physical space or recording construction progress.

Wider Marketing Reach

Digital twins can be embedded into websites and shared through online campaigns, presentations and social platforms. This allows developers to promote a property to regional, national and international audiences without requiring every interested party to attend the site initially.

Reduced Disruption

Repeated viewings can interrupt construction teams, tenants and building operations. A Matterport tour provides an effective first-stage viewing option, helping reduce avoidable visits while keeping the development accessible to prospective clients.

A Permanent Digital Record

Matterport can also create a visual record of a building at a particular stage. Property teams can revisit the captured environment to review layouts, communicate with stakeholders or compare visible site conditions over time.

Potential Cost and Time Savings

Matterport has published a case study in which a global commercial real estate business reported a 59% reduction in capture-related costs within its first year of using Matterport Capture Services. This was the experience of that particular organisation and is not a guaranteed saving for every project.

For UK property businesses, the practical savings may come from reducing unnecessary travel, limiting unsuitable preliminary viewings and allowing several stakeholders to inspect the same property remotely. The actual benefit will depend on the building, project scale and intended use of the digital twin.

Preparing a Property for Sale

A Matterport 3D digital twin allows prospective buyers to explore a home online and understand how its rooms, circulation and overall layout connect. This provides more spatial information than photographs alone and can help the property attract serious interest from local, national and international buyers.

The virtual tour can be shared with an estate agent and used on the agent’s website, marketing campaigns and supported property portal listings. Where direct embedding is unavailable, the estate agent can provide access through a dedicated property page or shareable tour link alongside listings on platforms such as Rightmove and Zoopla.

Helping Estate Agents Qualify Buyers

Prospective buyers can explore the property before requesting an appointment. This helps them decide whether its layout, room sizes and general character meet their requirements.

As a result, estate agents may receive better-qualified enquiries and arrange physical viewings with buyers who already understand the property and have a genuine interest in it. The tour can also support buyers who are relocating or unable to attend an initial viewing in person.

Supporting Refurbishment Planning

Before refurbishment begins, a Matterport digital twin can create a detailed visual record of the existing property. Homeowners, architects, interior designers and contractors can revisit the space remotely when discussing layouts, finishes and proposed work.

It can also reduce the need for repeated preliminary visits and make it easier to communicate existing conditions to everyone involved in the project.

Matterport records the property as it currently exists. If the purpose is to visualise how a proposed extension or refurbishment will look after completion, separate CGI, CAD or BIM visualisation may be required. XP Surveys can advise on the appropriate survey and digital deliverables for the project.

Recording a Property Before Work Begins

Capturing the property before refurbishment creates a permanent visual record of its condition and arrangement at that time. Further captures can be completed during or after the work to document progress and show how the property has changed.

This can be useful for homeowners managing a substantial renovation, consultants working remotely and developers preparing a refurbished property for sale or letting.
