Frequently Asked Questions 
What is Home Staging?
Home staging is the practice of assessing & preparing a property for sale, using tried & tested skills & techniques The goal of staging is to sell a home quickly, and for the most money possible by making a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers. Staging focuses on improving a property to make it appeal to the largest number of buyers by transforming it into a welcoming, appealing, and attractive product for sale. Staging raises the value of a property by way of reducing a home's flaws, depersonalizing, decluttering, cleaning, improving the condition of items in and around a home, and landscaping.
Does furnishing an empty property really add buyer appeal? I thought empty rooms would let the buyer see the space?
Kelly, homeowner - Bristol
Vacant homes can appear cold & unwelcoming and potential purchasers may not be able to visualise their own furniture fitting into individual rooms unless you show them its possible. Furniture rental or purchase is used to create living spaces the buyer can "see" themselves living in. Properly executed staging leads the eye to attractive features such as co ordinated furniture & soft furnishings which will entice & encourage the buyer to purchase. Mismatching items can be a real put off unless staged very carefully, so co ordinated ranges tend to appeal to a broader audience. The most important aspect to get right is to dress the rooms according to the style & age of the property. - Dee
Is it worth me spending more money to present a home for sale when the estate agent is likely to reduce the price because of "the state of the current market" anyway?
George Sharpe, developer - Oxford
Excellent question, the two most important aspects to buying & selling are price & presentation, get these two fundamental things right at the start and you are far more likely to acheive a sale quicker and for closer to the asking price in the present market conditions, however, do take into consideration also that staging a property for sale will never be as expensive as your first price drop with the estate agents or your incentive to buy deals.
I need to sell as fast as possible, how long does it take to stage a typical home?
Shirley Steiger - Forest of Dean
Well, this depends on the size of the property and its current condition. Full staging is often completed within 3weeks approx. This would include an initial visit, a written report of the changes needed a furniture rental quote/agreement and the shopping & tradesmens work completed and the property dressed ready for market.
However, not all properties need as much attention, and so its possible for a quick transformation from a one day internal makeover to a gorgeous garden over several days. You can use as much or as little of the service as you need. Flexability is key to acheiving what you require without compromising on style,cost and end result.
