Hopefully any
enquiries you may have are covered in our Frequently Asked
Questions (below). If you need more information, or have a
specific enquiry, get in touch and we will
reply within 24 hours.
- I would like to put my house on the site to attract possible
filming opportunities as a location. What will it cost me?
- Nothing! You supply us with at least four photos as well as some
relevant details about your property - points of interest, size of
land, number of bedrooms, etc. If you wish, we can come to your house
for thirty minutes in order to take some photos. We will organise your
info and upload it to locationsurrey.com for you.
- My entry costs nothing!? Then how do you make money?
- When we get an enquiry about your property, our experienced
directors will negotiate a relevant fee on your behalf, which you will
be paid directly by the enquirers. Within one week of receipt of this
payment, we will invoice you for our commission, which is 15%.
- Apart from the photos being taken, is there any paperwork to get
involved in?
- Not at all. Once your entry is 'live' on locationsurrey.com and you
are happy with the content, we will issue two copies of your invoice -
one for your own records and one to be sent back to us with your
signed approval.
- I am the vicar of the local parish church... it would be good to
swell our coffers with a fee for use of our church or grounds...
- Not a problem! Churches and religious locations come under the same
jurisdiction as private houses above - we will upload your photos and
information to locationsurrey.com for free and take a 15% commission
for any resultant use of your location.
- I run a pub. I've seen plenty of bar scenes on telly... what will
it cost to get my information on locationsurrey.com?
-
Pub owners are in a unique position to benefit from
locationsurrey.com's features. Not only will your location be
advertised nationally, but film crews are always keen to learn of
local pubs that can provide food, drink and possibly accommodation.
We will need an example advertisement and/or relevant
information about your pub, and some photos (as above, if you want we
can come and take the photos for you free of charge). For £150
per year our experienced directors will negotiate all third party fees
on your behalf. Any use of your premises for feeding a crew or hiring
of rooms (if applicable) is not subject to an additional fee. If your
premises are used as a film location, then our fee is 15% of the total
amount received by you from the hiring company. Any other benefits are
purely profit to you.
- I run a quaint post office in the village. I've been told it's very
photogenic - how much would an entry be?
- We charge £50 per year for retail outlets - that's less than
£1 a week! If your premises are used for a location, we will
negotiate and monitor the transaction to ensure you get the best deal,
for a commission of 15%. We consider all kinds of small shops -
butcher's, baker's, (candlestick maker's...) or any kind of similar
premises to be a 'retail outlet' and therefore fall under the same
price.
- I am an actress, can I get my details on the site to interest TV
and Film personnel?
- Certainly! While we don't endeavour to replace publications such as
Spotlight, Showcall et al, we run in parallel and give performers,
artistes, musicians and all media creatives the opportunity of either
direct contact or to via a liason (such as your agent or manager).
Your details and a related website you may already have can be
included as well. For £50 per year, your services will be
displayed to directors, casting agents, producers and anyone related
to the TV and Film industry. Unlike with Locations, we do not take a
commission fee for any work you may be offered; artistes and technical
staff (such as cameramen, lighting, sound and media, make-up, wardrobe
etc.) can all benefit from this opportunity.
