In today’s digital-first world, many tenants make leasing decisions without ever setting foot inside a property. That’s especially true for commercial tenants who may be relocating teams, opening new locations, or signing leases from across the country — or even the globe. That’s why creating a high-quality virtual viewing experience is essential for letting commercial property in Cambridge.


What is a Virtual Viewing?

A virtual viewing is more than a slideshow of photos. It can include:

  • 3D Walkthroughs: Interactive models that let users "walk" through the space from their device

  • Video Tours: Professionally filmed tours that give a sense of scale, layout, and lighting

  • Interactive Floorplans: Detailed diagrams with clickable hotspots and room measurements

These tools allow prospective tenants to explore a property in detail without needing a physical visit.


Benefits for Landlords and Prospective Tenants

For Landlords:

  • Saves Time: Fewer physical viewings with unqualified leads

  • Wider Reach: Attract interest from remote or international businesses

  • Faster Letting Decisions: Tenants can move forward quickly when they can visualise the space

For Tenants:

  • Convenience: Especially useful for decision-makers located outside Cambridge

  • Pre-Qualification: Tenants can assess the suitability of a space before committing to a visit


Tools to Use for Virtual Commercial Lettings

Some of the best tools to deliver an immersive virtual experience include:

  • Matterport: Industry-standard 3D walkthroughs with floorplan integration

  • Drone Footage: Aerial views for larger commercial plots or business parks

  • Live Video Tours: Real-time guided walkthroughs via Zoom or WhatsApp for remote clients

  • Interactive Floorplan Software: Tools like SmartDraw or RoomSketcher for detailed layouts


Optimising Virtual Viewings for Business Needs

Commercial tenants often look for practical features. Make sure your virtual content highlights:

  • Layout Flexibility: Show open-plan spaces or partitions

  • Connectivity: Mention fibre broadband availability and phone line setups

  • Facilities: Highlight on-site parking, loading areas, kitchens, and washrooms

  • Compliance: Show emergency exits, fire safety systems, and accessibility features
