Frequently AskedQuestions
About Wanderhouse
How is Wanderhouse different from Matterport or a typical virtual tour?
In a standard Matterport walkthrough, viewers move between captured viewing positions. Wanderhouse gives people the freedom to move naturally through the captured space and choose where to stand. They can look back through a doorway, move closer to a window or explore a room from their own perspective.
Your Wanderhouse experience can be explored online or at life size with a compatible VR headset. We handle the capture, production and delivery, with optional marketing content, Wanderhouse Intelligence and a Viewing Suite to suit your project.
How much does Wanderhouse cost?
We quote each project individually, based on the spaces being captured, the additional features you choose and your online access requirements. Your quotation sets out the capture, production, hosting and any extras included in your project.
Booking and preparing for a capture
Which areas do you cover?
We’re based in Bath and cover the South West. We can also travel elsewhere in England and Wales, depending on the project.
How long will you need at the property?
As a guide, capturing a 2,000 square foot property can take up to an hour. The time needed depends on the layout and spaces included, and we confirm the expected time on site when you book.
When will my Wanderhouse experience be ready?
As a guide, allow 24 to 72 hours after the capture, depending on the size and complexity of the property or venue. We confirm the expected delivery date when you book, including the timing of any additional content you have chosen.
How should I prepare the property?
Have the rooms arranged as you want them presented. Put away personal documents and items you want to keep private, and tell us about any areas that should remain outside the capture.
Can you include gardens, terraces or separate buildings?
Yes. Outdoor areas, annexes, outbuildings and shared facilities can be included. We agree the spaces to capture with you and include them in your quotation.
Can Wanderhouse support off plan sales or pre-leasing?
Yes, once a completed show home or representative property has been captured. That Wanderhouse experience can help present other homes with the same layout and specification while they are still being built.
Sharing and using your experience
Can I put Wanderhouse on my website?
Yes. Your Wanderhouse experience can be added to your website or shared directly through a link. We agree how it will be added to your website as part of your project.
Can I share a property privately?
Yes. Access can be restricted to invited clients or other chosen viewers. We agree the sharing arrangements with you, including for discreet property searches and private presentations.
How long will my Wanderhouse experience stay online?
The hosting period is agreed in your quotation. It sets out how long the experience stays online, what viewing use is included and any applicable ongoing charges.
What happens if I redecorate or change the layout?
Tell us what has changed so we can advise on updating your Wanderhouse experience and quote for any further capture or production work.
Wanderhouse Intelligence and VR
What information do I need to provide for Wanderhouse Intelligence?
You provide the property details that sit alongside the capture, such as specifications, facilities, policies and answers to common customer questions. Wanderhouse Ask combines this information with the captured space to help viewers get practical answers while they explore.
Can viewers compare different properties?
Yes. Wanderhouse Compare can be included when several properties or layouts have been captured, helping viewers understand differences such as room sizes and living space. We agree which properties and information will be included as part of your project.
Can I explore a Wanderhouse experience in virtual reality using a VR headset?
Yes. Alongside online exploration through desktop or mobile, a compatible VR headset lets you step inside the captured space at life size. Move naturally through rooms, look around freely and experience the scale and layout as though you are there. We recommend trying Wanderhouse in virtual reality for the fullest immersive experience.
What do you provide with a Wanderhouse Viewing Suite?
We set up a dedicated viewing space in your estate agency branch, leasing office or development sales suite. We provide access to the Wanderhouse platform, configure it with your captured properties, supply and set up a Meta Quest headset, and show your team how to select and launch each viewing. Your team can then guide buyers or prospective residents through several properties at life size during one appointment.
For planning, allow a clear viewing area of at least 2m × 2m, with a clear buffer around it and space alongside for your team. We confirm the layout with you when planning your Viewing Suite.
