Why Aren't Floor Plans Standard Yet?
A buyer can forgive a lot. What they can't do is guess whether the third bedroom takes a double bed. So why are homes still marketed without a floor plan in 2026?
We heard a story repeatedly from sellers further down the coast, around Blyth: of the agents in town, only one was routinely producing decent photography and a floor plan — and sellers talked about it as if it were a luxury feature. It isn't. A floor plan costs an agent very little to produce with today's tools. What it saves is enormous: fewer wasted viewings from buyers the layout was never going to suit, and more genuine ones from buyers who've already mentally moved in.
Why some agents still skip it
Habit, mostly. If instructions keep arriving anyway, where's the pressure to change? When your fee is a percentage of the sale price, the marketing pack is a cost to be minimised, not a product to be proud of. That logic holds right up until sellers realise they have a choice.

- Included in the all-inclusive fee. Not an upsell. Not a package upgrade. Standard.
If a £200 fee can include it, ask what a £3,000 commission was spending it on instead.
