By Brad Young, Money teamEarning up to £60,000 a year for letting Stormzy film a music video in your kitchen or Paloma Faith play with Lego in the living room might sound farfetched to homeowners unfamiliar with the shoot locations industry. But every star, studio or big brand that wants to film in a residential property needs someone willing to offer up their home for the day - and they'll pay between £700 and £3,000 for the privilege.
Parking, easy-going neighbours and having one large room for equipment goes a long way with clients.Much of the industry is based in London but, between them, the three agencies contacted by the Money team have organised filming in Manchester, Birmingham, the Midlands, the Home Counties and coastal areas.Both Ms Marshall and the team at Location Collective said having a neighbour willing to get in on the action can be a real selling point.
