Photomontages presented as "virtual tours" by Estate agents

Is it just me ? A slide show of all the images is not a tour ! I like browsing RM and I find it super irritating to click on a video just to find the same photos I just viewed on the listing. But set over music, maybe with some kitsch clip art and zooming in, like a year 7 IT project.
can anyone fathom the point ?

Totally agree OP, they really should up their game.

Eg this is what has just made me post this

Oh my god that's terrible. You can't actually see any of the house as it's flashing up so quick to be replaced by some inane graphic. I couldn't watch it to the end. Had to switch it off!

Yes really annoying and don’t get me started on the virtual tour which is actually just a drone shot if the area. I also hate those ‘my matterport’ spiny tours where you have to click the arrow, they either make me feel sick or I end up looking at an artexed ceiling.

Also annoying are when the video is a tourist's guide to the area.

SausageAndEggSandwich · 22/10/2023 19:26

I hate those too! Zooming into photos on a slide show doesn't make it a video!

I also hate the ones where you have to click the arrows to move through the house - it all looks really distorted and it's annoying.

I would really much rather a wobbly phone camera walked through the house. Much more useful.

@SausageAndEggSandwich totally agree. I want to see how the rooms are laid out, when I've seen a real video tour it's been really helpful in imagining what could be done with it. I don't care if it's not done by Martin Scorsese

Agree! Was just complaining about it. Same music on every video from the same estate agent too - drives me bonkers.

Yes it is bizarre! Like the emperor's new clothes. Why?
