Should floor plans show furniture?

Most UK marketing plans are clean layouts without furniture. Focus on rooms, doors, windows, stairs and dimensions unless your brand style includes furniture symbols.

Can I upload a photo of my hand-drawn sketch to Rightmove?

You can, but it looks unprofessional. Upload a redrawn plan instead — that is what Sketchplan produces from your sketch and measurements.

Rightmove Floor Plan Requirements & Best Practice Checklist

Checklist for a portal-ready Rightmove floor plan

What do you need for a good Rightmove floor plan?

A good Rightmove floor plan is a clear, high-resolution image showing every floor, room labels, key dimensions and a consistent style. It should be easy to read on mobile, uploaded in the dedicated floor plan slot, and match the property photos. You do not need CAD software — a redraw from an accurate sketch is enough for most listings.

Key takeaways

Use a dedicated floor plan image, not a photo of a paper sketch.
Label rooms and show main dimensions clearly.
Multi-floor homes need every floor shown consistently.
Optimise for mobile — most buyers browse on phones.
Match the plan to the photos (no missing extensions or loft rooms).

Rightmove and Zoopla both reward listings that help buyers understand the layout quickly. A floor plan is one of the highest-intent assets on the page — if it is hard to read, buyers bounce to the next property.

Rightmove floor plan checklist

Use this before you go live:

Image quality

High-resolution image (not a phone photo of paper)
Clean white or light background
Readable room names at mobile size
No heavy JPEG artefacts

Content

Every floor included (or clearly labelled if sold as single-floor interest)
Room labels that match the listing description
Main wall dimensions or overall sizes where helpful
Stairs, doors and windows shown clearly
Outside space noted if it is part of the marketed layout (e.g. terrace off kitchen)

Consistency

Same drawing style across your branch’s listings
Plan matches photos (no “surprise” rooms missing)
North arrow optional; clarity beats decoration

Upload tips

Use the portal’s floor plan field rather than burying the plan in the photo gallery only.
Keep a master high-res file for brochures and a web-optimised copy for portals if needed.
After revisions (loft conversion, knock-through), replace the plan — outdated plans create complaints.

Frequently asked questions

Rightmove accepts floor plan images on listings; use a sharp, high-resolution file that remains readable when zoomed on mobile. Avoid tiny, blurry or heavily compressed images.
