On a high with drones Sometimes a home is so special – perhaps because it occupies a large plot of land or enjoys an exceptional setting – that taking to the skies is the best way to capture superb images. In the case of two properties in Gravesend, we worked with Fat Crow Photography to film the breathtaking riverside setting. The footage can be seen on our YouTube channel – search 'Robinson Jackson Group'. Drone footage is just one of the innovative ways we elevate property presentation, alongside video tours, professional photography and professionally designed brochures. For details contact your local branch. Please note that rules and restrictions apply to drone usage, and it’s not always possible to take images this way. We only work with licensed drone operators, who will establish whether it is permissible for a drone to be used when photographing your property.
