Location scouting


Example 1: https://ukfilmlocation.com/locations/london-period-house-for-filming-with-vintage-styling-LON2652 - retro, vintage, links well with time period
Example 2: https://ukfilmlocation.com/locations/spacious-period-home-filming-location-LON4461 -retro, good size garden
Example 3: https://ukfilmlocation.com/locations/large-detached-period-house-film-location-SE4282 - vintage, good size garden + (bonus) kitchen could be used for Story 2
Example 4: https://www.shootfactory.co.uk/uk-locations/vanners-farm-berkshire-rg20/- old fashioned, but well kept, lovely garden

Overall, when conducting my research I found very limited information as most properties require an inquiry to share their prices and it would depend on things such as, how many days the house would be used for, however most home owners state that their house could be hired for around £500 a day.

I had to look at a few similar houses on different websites just to get idea of the prices as most places require a phone call or email address to get a quote from them
One of the houses similar to my chosen one was (1), and the prices for end of July time was £2,940 for the 2 days, which sounded more accurate for the size and quality of my chosen house.
 Another similar house I found was (2) with the price being £700 for both nights, seeming significantly lower than the first price.




After the research I conducted I found it very difficult to find a set price for most properties I looked at I decided to settle on a budget in the middle and spend no more than £1,000 on a day of shooting for the location.
