Why is home staging important when selling?

Home staging is the process of professionally styling and furnishing a home to enhance its visual appeal, maximise space, and help potential buyers emotionally connect with the property. With over 95% of buyers starting their search online, a great presentation is critical! Staged homes can sell up to 73% faster and for 3 to 8% more than unstaged ones.

How much does home staging cost in the UK?

Typically, upfront home staging fees range from 0.5% to 1.5% of the sale price. Although it can vary depending on the home's size and the level of service required. Despite the modest investment, staging often yields a strong return, typically around 8% to 10%, by helping to avoid price reductions and accelerating the sale process.

How long does staging take and how long should I stage for?

Once contracts are signed, we can schedule your staging setup within 7–10 days, followed by necessary preparations. On your designated staging date, we will collect the keys and complete the installation within 24 hours, though larger projects may require up to 72 hours. Most staging packages include six weeks of furniture rental, with extension options available depending on availability.

Does home staging really make a difference?

Yes. Research shows that staged properties attract more viewings, generate stronger offers, and reduce time on the market. On average, staged homes receive more interest online and can sell up to 3x faster.

Can I stage my home myself instead of hiring a pro?

Absolutely! With effort, you can DIY: deep clean, declutter, neutralise colours, remove personal items, and use affordable accessories like plants, mirrors, and simple décor. This can still deliver strong benefits if executed well.
