When it comes to selling property, photos and descriptions aren’t enough. Buyers also want to see how the spaces connect and flow. That means you need a floor plan. But which type works best for listings: a technical floor plan or a simplified version?
Below we’ll explain the difference, why it matters, and how a simplified floor plan can make your property easier to understand and more attractive to buyers.
Technical Floor Plan — Too Much Information for Buyers
Technical plans are essential for architects, builders, and designers. They show precise dimensions, wall thicknesses, electrical symbols, and construction details. However, in a real estate listing, all that detail can overwhelm the viewer.
Common problems with technical plans:
- They’re full of symbols and abbreviations that require explanation.
- Too many numbers and lines make the plan look cluttered.
- Buyers can’t quickly visualize how rooms function in daily life.
Simplified Floor Plan – a Buyer-Friendly Choice
A simplified floor plan focuses on what matters most to potential buyers:
the room layout, flow, and spatial relationships. Unnecessary details are removed, leaving a clean, readable design.
Anyone can instantly understand it. This clarity helps buyers imagine living in the space, which makes them more likely to take the next step.
Client Example: from Technical Plan to Simplified Sales Version
Recently, a client approached us who only had an old technical plan. It contained all sorts of symbols and dimensions that were not suitable for a real estate listing.
Our task was to create from it a clear and simplified floor plan that a buyer could immediately understand.
Before – Technical Plan and After – Simplified Plan
The result was a cleanly presented room layout plan that the client used in their real estate listing. The listing became much more understandable and attractive.
Advantages of a Simplified Plan
- Clean and professional appearance that improves first impressions.
- Easy to understand for everyone! No technical knowledge needed.
- Increases listing credibility by showing accurate, reliable information.
- Perfect for every sales channel, from real estate portals to brochures and social media.
- Reduces questions from buyers by clearly showing key information.
Which Floor Plan Should You Choose?
If the goal is to sell real estate, the answer is clear: a simplified floor plan works best for listings. A technical plan can be reserved for projects and official documents, but a buyer-friendly visual must dominate in listings.
Whether it is called a floor plan, layout plan, or room distribution plan – the goal is the same: tto give buyers a clear, instant understanding of the space.
Make your Listing Understandable and Sales-Ready
Selling a property is more than just presenting facts. It’s about telling a story buyers can picture themselves in. A simplified floor plan helps tell that story clearly and professionally.
