Home Staging Tips

Home Staging - Property presentation - Home Makeovers - Home Styling!

Whatever name you wish to give it; preparing a house to appeal to a wide range of viewers and increase the saleability and the value needs a careful balance of changes which need not be expensive.  This skill cannot be trained, it can be improved upon and given a professional edge, it is in the main instinctive, requiring a combination of design skills, logic and an awareness of the needs (forever changing) of those who may step over the threshold looking to buy.  For instance the trend used to be the more rooms the better the price.  Now research shows larger open spaces and loft apartment style living is leading prices.  

'Outdoor living space adds buyer appeal & value (so put out a small attractive bistro table, 2 chairs, beautiful potted plant; easy & low cost yet great impact), kitchens and master bedrooms to impress are vital as is attractive frontage and hallway, the first few minutes of a viewing are essential and you have to know how to show a prospective buyer around to make them feel at ease and give the best impression of your home. You do not need to refit the kitchen or make large alterations to create the show home appeal that will impress. 

A small Consultation cost to get the presentation right and your marketing top notch could save you thousands of pounds in otherwise lost equity if you are already on the market, or if you are one of the wise few who are making preparations before marketing then a Home Staging Consultation will ensure the best price and help achieve a sale at the right time for you.
