Registering is easy!

We are always looking to expand our locations library, so we'd love to hear from location owners who may be interested!

As a guideline, it is important to remember that the property's rooms do have to be spacious in order to accommodate the crew and equipment, and that you have good access and parking.

As the owner of a property used for filming, you will be entitled to charge the production a fee. This should be worked out between you and the production directly, as we do not broker location fee negotiations.  However, we are on hand to offer advice and guidance as necessary.

You should also consider the implications of opening your property up to the disruption of filming. See our guidelines on 'What to do if your Property is Selected' for the use of private property for filming for more information.

Registration in the Location Library is free; we do not charge a commission if your property is used and we offer a free service to productions seeking our advice. Although we deal with many hundreds of production enquiries each year, each production's requirements are unique and we cannot guarantee that we can match a production to your location.


To Register

To register please complete the Registration Form and return the hard copy to us at the address at  the end of the Form.  (We need a hard copy as for Data Protection reasons we have to hold a copy of your signature, allowing us to have access to your personal information.) It would also be ideal to have some pictures.  As a guide, front and rear elevations, gardens and the interior ground floor and landing of the property are most useful to those looking for locations on our website.  They don’t need to be very high resolution; in fact too high and we have problems up-loading them.

Once we have received everything we will upload the property onto the system as soon as possible, although sometimes this may take a couple of weeks.  We will then send you a link so that you can see how the property looks to those viewing it from the website.

We should point out that as South West Screen is a publicly-funded body, we cannot actively promote individual locations and we don’t get involved with financial or contractual  negotiations.  We are, however, more than happy to offer advice to location owners on these matters and to give support throughout the production process.

We would also like to reassure you that all locations on the database are only identifiable by a reference number and a county. Productions wishing to get more detailed information on individual locations will have to make contact with this office, where we can check that theirs is a bona-fide enquiry before giving out any personal information.

If you have any questions about our Locations service, please contact us.
