Using your home as a shoot location can be lucrative, and occasionally glamorous, too. As energy bills, council tax and the cost of everything rises there’s an undeniable temptation to make some cash out of your home and renting it out as a shoot location could make you as much as £2,500 per day, with rates in London typically about £750-£1,000. But you’ll need a certain type of property and outlook for it to work.
A quick browse of London location agency websites, such as Fresh Locations and 1st Option, shows a wide range of properties, from minimalist loft apartments to authentic-looking family homes, but unmodernised properties and even total wrecks can be surprisingly popular. Directors might ask for “texture”, which means lived in or worn-out looking homes. Great news for anyone living in a Seventies time warp while saving for a renovation.
