Really happy with my house photos and floorplan. The house photography in particular was very good. I suffered a minor administration error, which was rapidly resolved by the Nichecom team, which I thank them for - 5 Stars.

I wanted to say what a great job Pete has done with the property he went out to, its overgrown, not been lived in for years and is far from what you would call the standard home, or photo ready. Pete said hed do the best he could, and we didnt hold high hopes for how theyd turn out due to the subject matter, not Petes skills. The photos and walkthrough tour have been that good, that it made us think hed sent the wrong property. Considering what he had to work with, they were amazing. So much so that a relative of the sadly deceased owner contacted us to say it brought a tear to

The photos I supervised myself were fine, but all the others could have been staged much better. The clutter in them, the reflections of items in mirror etc are all very poor. These cannot be used and will need to be redone

Hayley is a star and a fine ambasador for Niche. The photos she took for us yesterday, especially the opening shot are superb. Hayley is very interative and pleasant with my clients, and obliging.

Ben quickly got down to work and completed the entire premises in the allocated time. He was flexible and accommodating and his shots capture the spirit of the empty premises before occupation. His next visit will be when occupied and operational. Just what we needed.
