Google Earth and online maps
Google Earth Pro’s historical imagery and online map views often show your property, but the image date varies by place and can be months or years old.
For homeowners, land buyers and farmers
Satellite images of your property.
Latest, historical or high-resolution.
Get a satellite or aerial image of your house, land or farm: a newer view than free maps show, an image from a specific past date, sharper 30 cm detail, or a drone survey of the plot. We start by checking what is already free, then quote only what you need.
Availability, minimum order area, price and license depend on the location and the request. We confirm them in your quote; submitting an enquiry does not place an order.
Free options first
Start with what is free.
National and county aerial viewers
Many governments publish aerial photos and elevation data, for example county GIS viewers or national mapping agencies. Quality and update cycles vary.
Copernicus and Landsat
Free Sentinel-2 and Landsat images are updated every few days but show 10 to 30 m pixels: enough for fields and land cover, not for a house.
Common uses
Why people order images of their property.
Buying land or a house
Check the plot, access, neighbors and changes over the years before you commit.
Roof, storm and insurance claims
Document the condition of a roof or property before and after an event.
Building and landscaping plans
Plan an extension, driveway, pool or drainage with a current image and contours.
Farms and rural land
See field boundaries, crop condition and water across your land.
How ordering works
From your request
to files you can use.
- 01
Tell us the place and the need
Share the location or boundary, the dates and what you want to see or measure. A rough description is enough to start.
- 02
Review the options and the quote
We check suitable sources and show the capture dates, coverage, resolution, license and complete price before you commit.
- 03
Receive the data
Get the files with their metadata and license, ready for your own tools, or ask us to quote an analysis.
Before you buy, check
- Satellites capture images at set times; there is no live view of your house.
- At 30 cm you can see roofs, cars and trees, but not faces or number plates.
- Cloud, shadow and viewing angle can hide parts of the property.
- Many providers have minimum order areas, so a single plot may be billed as a larger area.
- Images and LiDAR do not establish legal boundaries; a licensed land surveyor does.
Questions
Satellite images of your property: your questions.
Can I get a satellite image of my house today?
You can order a new capture, but it depends on satellite capacity and weather, so it may take days or weeks. A recent archive image is often available sooner. The quote shows the expected timing.
How can I see old satellite images of my house?
Google Earth Pro’s historical imagery is a good free start. For a specific date, higher detail or an image you can use as evidence, we search commercial and public archives around your date.
How much does a satellite image of my property cost?
It depends on the resolution, whether it is an archive image or a new capture, the minimum order area and the license. A drone survey is priced per site. Your quote shows the complete price before you order.
Is it legal to buy satellite images of my property?
Commercial satellite imagery is sold under license and is generally legal to buy and use within its license terms. Drone flights follow local aviation and privacy rules, which the operator handles.
