Property and land drone photography in Sri Lanka

From the ground it is hard to show the size of a plot, the view, or how close it is to the beach or the main road. From the air it takes one photo.

We photograph and film villas, houses, land and building sites for owners and agents. It also helps buyers who live abroad and cannot see the place in person.

What we can photograph and film

  • The whole plot from above, to show its size and shape
  • The house, pool and garden
  • What the view would look like from an upper floor
  • Access roads, the beach or the nearest town
  • A short video tour for listing pages

Privacy and neighbours

The rules ask drone operators to film only what they planned to film and to respect other people's privacy. We keep the camera on your property and avoid filming into neighbours' homes and gardens.

What we need from you

  • Permission from the owner to fly over the property
  • The address or GPS location
  • For paid work, a request letter or no objection letter from the owner for the drone approval

Buying from abroad

If you are buying from abroad, a drone video helps you look at the land before you travel. Send us the location and tell us what you want to see. We still need the owner's permission to fly over it.

The drones we use for this

We choose the drone for the place, the weather and the shots you want. These are the ones we usually pick for this kind of shoot.

Questions people ask

Can you film land I want to buy?

Yes, if the owner agrees to the flight. Send us the location and we will tell you what is possible.

Is a drone photo the same as a land survey?

No. Our photos and videos are for showing a property. For boundaries and measurements you still need a licensed surveyor.

What if the land is near a protected area?

Places inside restricted areas, protected forests or archaeological sites need extra approvals, and some cannot be flown. We check the location on the official drone map first.
