No I do not, but if I may ask, how would that type of software help with property photography?

Sketchup. It's a free download.

Autodesk AutoCad, the best.

I won't argue that it is the best...
But OP asked for "reasonable priced".
You have to request pricing from Autodesk, makes me expect the purchase price has at least 3, possibly 4 digits before the decimal point!

I have used various "Punch" programs in the past. The more "basic" versions will have everything you need and they sell under $100 Canadian over here. I presume they would be available in Europe but can't say for sure.

I understand, but IMHO and based on my architectural and engineering career it was the only software I could recommend. It's all I have ever used.

If you are photographing existing properties, I would think that floor plans would already be available. Pretty much any software, free or purchased, that does floor plans will, I expect, have a pretty steep learning curve. I have used this in the past and it is not too bad:

I doubt you would need a full blown CAD program, and the learning curve that comes with it.

A regular drawing program to lay squares/rectangles for rooms and label them.
Insert doors and windows and you're probably good to go.

I would think that a general layout would do ... where complete accuracy would not be an issue for this type of work.

Know nothing about it, but Google yielded several titles.

Based on what you describe, the far-lower cost Autocad LT would probably do the job.
