Most of that is not a concern unless it's for commercial purposes. A local amateur would be able to help.
The rules still apply even if it is not for commercial work. Don't get me wrong drones are a great bit of kit but they also be a dangerous bit of kit if something goes wrong, that is why these rules are put in place. gemini said:

Pro photos sound expensive.
Honesty says that I was looking for this on the cheap!
Perhaps an amateur or someone just starting out?

Any amateur probably be breaking the law to get you your photos unless your house is in the middle of nowhere.
The illegal use of drones/quadcopters has been quite high profile in the news and the consequences of breaking the law can be quite expensive, most hobbyists/amateurs will be aware of this.
Pros are expensive because the required certification and insurance is expensive.
Essentially you are asking someone to ignore the law for you which I'm surprised the mods of this forum allow.
I know that's not what you want to hear and doesn't help you but sometimes that's just the way it is.
If your house is in the middle of nowhere then ignore the above.

A bit dramatic seeing as every other child seemed to get a drone for xmas last year! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/1125335...
I think the rules are a bit oppressive but I can understand why they are there.
Taking photos for someone else moves it in to the commercial gain area as well which probably makes the fine bigger.

You don't have to be 'in the middle of nowhere' to avoid braking CAA rules. The CAA have been raising a few cases, to make a point, all of which were basically commercial use when I looked.
Correct, you need the drone to not be within 50 metres of any vessel, vehicle or structure which is not under the control of the person in charge of the aircraft.Isn't it the case that as long as there is no commercial gain, then someone can do this for the OP.
Whether any of the location restrictions apply depends on the location itself and whether there are any other structures or people in the vicinity.
Presumeably, the building itself would be under control of the person flying the "drone" as the OP would have granted the flyer that control.
