• Building surveyors to provide guidance on protecting historic and listed buildings during filming, and prepare Schedules of Condition before and after filming to protect the interests of both property owners and production companies.
• Ecologists to offer advice on protecting valuable habitats throughout filming.
• Health and safety advisors to ensure all productions adhere to best practices and legal obligations.

Operational support

We can act as a liaison between landowners and production companies, ensuring clear communication and smooth operations at every stage. We can support clients from the initial recce through filming and post-production, including obtaining any statutory consents and permissions required for filming on their behalf.

Services for production companies

Location sourcing

We work closely with production companies to understand their creative and logistical requirements to source locations that best match their vision. With access to our nationwide property network and comprehensive portfolio covering London and the entire UK, we help productions of all scales secure their ideal filming locations.

Our team’s in-depth local knowledge and proactive approach ensure the most suitable locations are sourced quickly and efficiently for each production. We offer a wide variety of location types, from moorland and coastal settings to historic houses, industrial estates, offices, car parks, disused farmsteads, lakes, and forests.

Enquiry management

We manage all location enquiries promptly, and pride ourselves on our swift response times. We have a portfolio of film-friendly, multi-use locations available to help you stay on schedule and within budget.

Operational support

We can provide full operational support, acting as a liaison between production teams and property owners to ensure operations run smoothly from initial recce to post-production. Many of our locations offer dedicated facilities for location bases and production offices to support teams on-site.

We provide detailed location briefs, including information on available facilities (such as space for location bases, car parking, and local accommodation), as well as comprehensive notes to help filter and shortlist the best options for your production.

Contract negotiation

Our experts are highly experienced in contract negotiation, balancing the needs of the film industry with our clients' interests to achieve optimal outcomes for all parties.

The rise of AI

The rise of artificial intelligence is affecting almost every industry, and film location scouting is no different. The increasing use of AI and digital scanning technologies allows productions to review and even utilise real-world locations from thousands of miles away. In some instances, digital scans enable film companies to integrate a building into a production without the need for physical site visits.

While this evolution can allow property owners to reap the financial benefits of filming without the disruption of crew on-site, it introduces new complexities. It is now more critical than ever for owners to receive expert, up-to-date advice to ensure they do not unwillingly surrender rights to these digital assets. Consequently, where simple access licences were once sufficient, agreements are now increasingly focused on Intellectual Property (IP).
