The process:
When a potential production expresses interest in your location, a member of our team will reach out to you to discuss your property availability, crew size, budget etc.
When your property makes it to the shortlist, we will contact you to arrange a visit (known as a recce) by a member of the production team. They will take photographs of your home to aid in the final decision-making process. For most TV and film shoots, additional recce visits, such as a Director recces and Technical recces, may be necessary before confirming the shoot.
Once confirmed we will draw up a contract that outlines all the details, so everybody knows and agrees the exact plan before the shoot. We will request payment from the production in advance and obtain a deposit to cover any additional costs such as overtime, damage etc. Upon completion of the shoot, when you sign-off, saying you are happy with the state in which the production have left your home, we will immediately forward you any additional fees such as any overtime.
