A 5-step checklist for sellers and agents getting ready to list a property. Run through it before publishing your listing on KV.ee, City24, or Kinnisvara24.
Why this matters
– Listings with floor plans get up to 52% more click-throughs (Rightmove)
– 1 in 5 buyers will skip a listing without a floor plan (iGUIDE)
– Floor plans are opened 7.5x more often than maps on property portals (CubiCasa)
– Floor plans rank 3rd in importance to buyers, after photos and price (Zillow)
Step 1: Source the floor plan
You need one of the following:
- An existing paper floor plan from the building’s documentation
- A scanned PDF of the original drawing
- A phone photo of the paper plan or sketch — clear, well-lit, full drawing in frame
- A hand-drawn sketch with measurements (if no plan exists)
Check: Are room dimensions readable in your source? Approximate is fine. If not, measure walls with a tape measure and add the numbers to your sketch.
Step 2: Decide which type of floor plan you need
There are two types. Only one belongs in a property listing.
| Type | What it shows | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Simplified | Clean room shapes, labels, total area, doors and windows | Property listings — what 99% of sellers need |
| Technical | Dimension lines, structural detail, engineering notation | Construction, renovation, permits |
For your listing, you want simplified. Buyers need to understand the layout in under 10 seconds. Technical drawings confuse them. More on this here.
Step 3: Update if anything has changed
Has the property been renovated since the original plan was drawn?
- Wall removed?
- Bathroom moved?
- Open-plan kitchen instead of separate rooms?
- Storage room converted to a second bedroom?
If yes, the listing floor plan needs to reflect what currently exists, not the historical state. Note these changes when you order so the digitization includes them.
Step 4: Get the right file formats
| Format | Use for |
|---|---|
| JPG | Listing portal upload (KV.ee, City24, Kinnisvara24) |
| Printing brochures, sharing with serious buyers | |
| DWG | The buyer’s post-sale renovation work, contractor handoff |
Replanera includes all three at the same price, so you do not have to pick. Format guide here.
Step 5: Place the floor plan correctly in your listing
Even a great floor plan fails if it is buried. Two rules:
- The floor plan goes in the first 5 photos. Buyers who scroll past 25 photos to find it have already formed their impression without it.
- Mobile legibility matters. Most buyers browse on their phone. The room labels need to be readable on a phone screen without zooming.
Bonus: Listing-day checks
- Floor plan visible in first 5 photos ☑
- Total floor area shown on the plan matches the listing description ☑
- Room labels are in the same language as the listing (Estonian for KV.ee, English for cross-border listings) ☑
- The plan reflects current layout (post-renovation if applicable) ☑
- JPG file size is under 1MB for fast portal loading ☑
If you do not have a floor plan yet
Sketch the apartment yourself with a tape measure. It takes 15–30 minutes for a typical apartment. You do not need to be neat — you need to be clear about dimensions.
Send the sketch to a digitization service. You will get back a clean professional plan in 1–3 days. Step-by-step guide here.
