STAGING YOUR HOME TO SELL
When putting your home on the market, it's important to showcase it at its absolute best.
Research shows that properties that have been staged for sale tend to sell more quickly and achieve a higher sale price than those that haven't.
​
If you're getting ready to sell your home, we offer home staging services to homeowners in Cheltenham, Gloucester and across the Cotswolds.

Staging to Sell Your Home in Cheltenham and the Cotswolds
Our approach to staging your home for sale is mostly about making the best of what you already have rather than transforming it into a show home.
The idea is to take your home and give it a little bit of a "wow" factor so that is stands out in the listings and offers maximum appeal to buyers.
​​
A small investment in staging can lead to as much as a 10% increase in selling price, as well as increasing the speed of sale.
​
If you have already moved out of your home, and it is either empty or partially empty, take a look at our staging services for empty homes here. However if you are still living in your house, and intend to remain there until it is sold, read on....
​
Home Staging Consultation
​
The first step in staging your home is to book a Staging Consultation with us in your home. This way we can get a sense of how the property currently looks and feels.
​
This consultation takes up to 2 hours, during which we will do a full walk around of your home, taking pictures and making notes.
​
The consultation will include all accessible rooms in the home, as well as the garden and outside areas. We may be able to make some immediate suggestions you can implement straight away.
Following the consultation you will receive a detailed Home Staging Report which is yours to keep whatever you decide. The report will include a detailed list room by room of our recommendations - it is completely individual and bespoke to your property, not just a generic checklist.
The consultation and report together costs £200.
​
Additional Services
One you have received and read the report, you can then choose to implement our recommendations yourself, or if you prefer, we can manage the whole process for you. For example we can come and reorganise the rooms, or shop for and supply decorative items.
​​We can provide any or all of the following services:
​
-
Decluttering
-
Reorganising your furniture to make better use of the space
-
Designing new styling and decor schemes where appropriate
-
Sourcing and supplying new accessories or decorative items
-
"Dressing" the rooms
-
Obtaining quotes and liasing with cleaners, decorators, gardeners etc as needed.
-
Working with your estate agent and photographer ​
​
How much will it cost?
​
We will give you a cost estimate for these services in your Home Staging report. Each and every property and project is unique and so is quoted for an individual basis.
Staging your home to sell could cost as little as £500 for a couple of sessions of decluttering and organising, or for larger more complex projects we suggest allowing 2-3% of the final asking price.
​
Wherever possible we will look to save you money - for example we generally aim to use or re-purpose your existing furniture and accessories rather than buying new.
Where needed we will suggest cost effective ways to introduce some fresh new touches such as artwork or cushions. Items purchased for you during the staging process will be yours to keep, to take with you to your new home, or to sell or donate once the house is sold.
In some cases we may suggest hiring bigger pieces of furniture such as sofas - this will be priced per property.
