Have you ever wondered how people rent out their homes for movies, TV shows, commercials, and photoshoots? Becoming a location house with LC Locations is easier than you think—and it can be a fantastic way to earn extra income while showcasing your property on screen.
In this guide, we’ll break down exactly how to become a location house, what’s involved, and why listing with LC Locations is the smartest move for homeowners looking to tap into the film and photography industry.
What Is a Location House?
A location house is a residential property available for hire as a backdrop for film, TV, commercial shoots, and brand campaigns. Production companies are always looking for unique spaces—whether it’s a stylish modern home, a quirky apartment, or a grand period property.
At LC Locations, we connect homeowners with location scouts, filmmakers, and brands in need of shoot-ready spaces.

Renting out your house as a film location can offer several benefits:
- Earn extra income: Production companies pay to use your property.
- Showcase your home: Your property could feature in films, TV shows, commercials, or high-end photoshoots.
- Flexible commitments: You can choose when your house is available for shoots.
What Makes a Great Location House?
Every property has potential, but certain features can make your home more appealing as a film location:
- Plenty of natural light: Bright spaces are ideal for photography and filming.
