First impressions count. It takes a minute for a buyer to make their mind up to purchase a property so getting the look right as soon as they walk through the door is crucial, especially in today’s cooler market. Which is why we’re offering new clients a free home staging consultation, through the brilliant professional organisers – Please Organise Me – so you can present your home in the best possible light.

So what exactly is ‘home staging’ – and is it worth it?

People don’t look at a property just as a house – they see it as a home, imagining their new lives in this new setting, where they are going to put their furniture, hang their pictures. By home-staging, you can help prospective buyers imagine themselves living in your home – encouraging them to make an emotional attachment which will help to clinch the sale.

Declutter

A major part of home staging is in decluttering. Organisers will help store away clutter, tidy messy areas and organise and display your most attractive possessions. They may advise a lick of paint, new carpets, some well placed shrubbery, making better use of lighting, tidying up the exterior of the house, putting bulkier furniture into storage. 

Huge Returns

This may seem like a lot of effort, but if you look at the figures it is a small amount of effort for a huge return. Rightmove statistics reveal that a staged home will sell for 8% more than a non-staged one. This is another £40,000 on a house valued at £500,000, the average price of a London home. Think of the number of people who find their next home online. A better displayed and better photographed home will lead to more clicks and more viewings.

Make the right first impression – and earn tens of thousands pounds more in the process. And if you sell through us, you won’t even pay for the cost of the initial home staging consultation. Pound signs all round.
