Part of the property release on Alamy says:

Quote
I agree that I have received Consideration of (insert monetary value)..........................................................
.................................... for the rights granted in this
release. I acknowledge and agree that I have no further right to additional Consideration or accounting,

Do we have to fill in a number here in a number here if 0 money passed hands (like if property belongs to photographer, family or friend  and there is no expectation of getting paid like with paid models.

Consideration is a legal contract term in the UK ordinarily it should be a nominal amount even one penny is classed as consideration.

I guess you could say zero.  But under contract law it may present difficulties.

Better to submit without a property release or at the very least offer the owner of the property a small amount even if they say it's free.

First: you don't have to use Alamy's property release. Second: all contracts need consideration to be valid but it doesn't have to be money or have a cash value

This is standard wording from a standard property release I have. Most of the releases I have seen don't need one to fill in the amount of consideration. Just to say that consideration was paid is enough. The Easy Release smartphone app is also very useful. I generally just use that one. It has both a model and property release built into it and neither of them require you to fill in an amount of compensation either. Hope that helps.

I agree that I have received Consideration for the rights granted in
this release. I acknowledge and agree that I have no further right
to additional Consideration or accounting, and that I will make no
further claim for any reason to Photographer / Filmmaker and / or
Assigns. I acknowledge and agree that this release is binding upon
my heirs if applicable, assigns or any person claiming an interest in
the Property.
