Lettings platform PlanetRent has partnered with virtual reality technology company The 360 View to offer virtual tours of rental properties. The partnership allows landlords and agents to create virtual tours that they can attach to the property listing through the PlanetRent platform. Renters who use the PlanetRent platform will be able to access a four-minute virtual tour of their chosen property, while accessing additional information about rent, location and size of the property.

“ Landlords and agents who use PlanetRent will be able to instruct our partner to carry out virtual tours of their properties, and they will take care of the rest. “Virtual property tours have seen a surge in popularity since the coronavirus lockdown, and we’ve certainly spotted a gap in the market for high-quality video virtual tours for the residential property market.” In addition to allowing residents to view properties, PlanetRent ensures landlords are fully by providing them with all the legally required paperwork.
