Question 1

What is home staging?

Accepted Answer

Home staging is the process of preparing a property for sale by enhancing its appearance, layout, and décor to appeal to potential buyers. The goal is to help your property sell faster and for a higher price. It's not about decoration for decoration's sake - it's about helping buyers emotionally connect with a space and imagine themselves living there.

Question 2

Why should I stage my property before selling?

Accepted Answer

Staged homes attract more buyers, create a strong first impression, and often sell quicker and at better prices. Buyers can easily visualise living in a well-presented space.

Research shows staged homes sell up to 3x faster than unstaged ones and can achieve 8–10% higher offers on average. For property investors, every week a property sits on the market costs money, staging helps you move on to your next project faster.

Question 3

Does staging really make a difference?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Buyers make up their minds in the first 7 seconds of viewing a property. When they walk into an empty property, they see walls, floors, and ceilings. When they walk into a staged home, they feel warmth, comfort, and possibility. That emotional connection is what transforms interest into offers.

Question 4

What's the difference between staging and interior design?

Accepted Answer

Staging is strategic and purpose-driven. It's designed with your specific property and target buyer in mind. The goal is to highlight the property's best features, create flow, and help buyers visualise the potential of each room. Interior design, on the other hand, is about creating a permanent, personalised living environment that reflects the owner's style and lifestyle.

Staging removes distractions and creates a neutral, inviting backdrop that appeals to the widest audience while still feeling warm and inviting. Interior design is about making a space uniquely yours.

Think of staging as the art of presenting a property for sale; interior design is the art of making a home for living.

Question 5

Is staging worth the investment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The cost of staging is typically outweighed by the faster sale and higher price you can achieve. For many investors, staging pays for itself within the first £10,000 of extra sale price or the time saved by selling weeks faster.
