Property Photos - Who Owns Copyright?

Bugledog

I used an agent to let my flat earlier this year but have now decided to do it myself.

Can I use the images that they originally took of the property in my advert? Are they their copyright or do I own them as I paid for their full service and it's my property?

Appreciate...

Ah yes, Lawcruncher, on your point I did write ‘I think’.

However after copyright expires I do know it is in the public domain so thinking about it my point must be wrong so thank you for highlighting this.

Of course, copyright can be inherited like any other asset.

’We put special emphasis on ensuring that you and your property are kept up-to-date and fully compliant, and this means it now costs...

This was asked only a few days ago and there are links to further similar threads in that thread. A lot of this stems from agents trying to regain the revenue streams they lost through the Tenant Fees Act, without suffering adverse cash flow in the short term.

Hi Jon; yes, on several occasions they have failed to undertake the basic task of managing their contractors properly in the undertaking of property maintenance tasks. The most recent case is when, on 16 April, I asked them to send a handy man around to my flat to fix the lino floor in the kitchen,...

Some confusion over what "employ(ment)" means here. What it means is "to have on one's payroll". It does not mean to engage the services of someone who runs his own business....

As I already said, the agent would have to be your PAYE employee, not self-employed or an employee of an estate agency business.
