Searching for the perfect home is a daunting task but now a Hamilton company is using virtual reality to ease that pain, comparing it to walking through a doll's house.
"You know when you're a little kid and you have the dolls house and it's a half house and you get to walk a little doll up the stairs and stuff, that's how I see it." says Yeoman's Homes' Rebekah Kenny.
"Virtual reality... it's exactly the same, you might as well be walking around the room. Obviously you can't smell, you can't touch anything but you can visualise, you can see the artwork, you can see the carpet, you see the colours, you can get a feel of the room," Mrs Kenny says.
And it's an innovation that Mrs Kenny says would have been beneficial when she was house hunting four years ago.
"So one weekend, on the Saturday morning we did twenty open homes. It was a nightmare. In the end, I almost gave up."
