• Became more well known due to the increase in TV programmes and often is referred to as House doctoring or property dressing. It a nutshell, home staging is preparation of a property for sale or let,   it provides   potential purchsors and viewers the best possible impression of that property.    

• Small changes can make a huge difference to the response of viewers but all options are considered in making the property saleable and achieve the asking price.  

• From decluttering and a commercial clean   to change of layout and accessorising or changing coloured bathroom suites we will advise according to your budget and property needs.

• Property presentation enhances the property's good points and diminishes any less appealing points.

• Making the property look as large, light and stylish as possible within a budget helps each property achieve the best selling price possible.

• It takes into account the value of the property, the likely selling price, location, local properties and the market/buyer requirements.

• Property presentation achieves the best selling price for the property and makes sure that the property remains on the market for as short a time as possible.

Why do I need to do anything before  selling?

• In the current market one would argue this is now more important than ever, as there is increasing choice for a buyer, as the saying goes "It's a buyers Market". Every house or property can benefit from extra attention before sale to achieve the best asking price.  

• Key changes will 'stage' the property to maximum effect.

• The viewer is looking for a lifestyle and value in the space they perceive to be available.    

• Buyer appeal is achieved within your budget.

First impressions count - let us help you to make the right choices

You only get one chance to make the first impression count.   Small differences in presentation can make a big difference in the size that the rooms look and how he viewer feels that this could be home to them in the first few minutes.    

The buyer needs those psychological messages in order to feel that this is the house for them. Buyers do not want to feel there is much work to be done to make this their home.   Most buyers do not have the imagination required and staging property is about making the changes which will help the buyer feel that this house is for them.

• Maximum effect - quick changes - no decoration necessary. We clean, depersonalise and accessories to maximum effect.
