Why Home Staging Matters in Bath’s Property Market

home staging madders, staging, styling properties, homes, house, for sale, for rent, Bath, uk

The Bath property market is always evolving. Not long ago, most homes listed were snapped up quickly, but things have shifted. In 2023, around 65% of listings sold successfully. By early 2024, that figure dropped to just 58%. That means sellers today are facing more competition and buyers are taking their time to make careful decisions.

Local estate agents in Bath are adapting by putting more emphasis on first impressions—and that’s where home staging becomes a key part of the sales strategy. With over 90% of buyers starting their search online, your photos and presentation need to grab attention right away. On average, staged homes hold a buyer’s eye for up to 20 seconds longer on listing sites like Rightmove. That extra time can be the difference between a viewing booked and your home being scrolled past.

Bath agents also know that pricing a home too high, without the right visual appeal, can lead to delays and painful price reductions later. That’s why many now recommend investing around 1% of the asking price into professional staging. It’s a small step that often brings a return of 3–8% more on the final sale price, all while helping the home sell faster and with less stress.

In a market like Bath, where lifestyle, charm, and character matter so much, staging isn’t just a finishing touch—it’s a smart marketing tool that turns a property into a home buyers can see themselves in.

    Neli completely transformed our one-bedroom flat in Birmingham. What was once an empty, lifeless space is now a beautifully styled, characterful home that feels warm and inviting. Her service was truly hands-off—she handled everything from start to finish with such professionalism that we didn’t even need to collect the keys ourselves. She visited the property weeks in advance to take measurements, coordinated all orders perfectly, and completed the entire setup in just one day. The result exceeded our expectations. We’re absolutely delighted and would highly recommend Neli to anyone seeking effortless, high-quality home staging with impeccable taste.

 FAQs

  • 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.

  • 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-commonly around 8% to 10%, by helping to avoid price reductions and accelerating the sale process.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
