Tips on staging your home

A highly competitive market means that more properties are being added every week on rightmove, onthemarket and other platforms 

It's important to showcase your home in it's best light so that it can perform to its highest potential on the market

Here are some tips to attract more eyes to your property advertisements! 

 

Tip #1 

Declutter! 

First impressions are important so make sure your house is tidy and in the best condition it possibly can be! 

The tidier your property the more pleasing your advertisement can look to potential buyers! 

Make sure to declutter as best you can, either getting rid of unwanted items or storing them away out of sight.

 

 

Tip #2 

Open the curtains! 

Light is a very important part of any property, nobody wants to live in a gloomy house.

Make sure all the curtains and blinds are open and as much light as possible can enter the property 

If your property gets the best light at a certain part of the day it might be best to book viewings around it! 

 

 

Tip #3

Props! 

After decluttering display some props around the property. This can engage viewers and help them get a feel for the 'lifestyle' of your property. 

You want your property to look lived in but not too lived in. 

Ideas for props can range from a fruit bowl, magazines, fresh cut flowers, wine bottles & glasses Sun loungers and parasols out in the garden.

 

 

Tip #4 

Clear the garden! 

The garden is the second most important thing to a property. New buyers want a garden they can see themselves relaxing and enjoying the sun in. 

You'll want to clear the garden of all unnecessary objects and make it as neat as possible.

Give the grass a good cut, get rid of those empty pots or tools and store any distracting objects out of sight. 

 

 

Tip 5#

Remove the bins! 

Bins at the front of your property is a massive turn off for potential buyers! 

Be sure to store bins away from the front of the property if possible so that your property looks clean and welcoming before viewers even walk through the door!  

 

 

Extra Tip #6 

Showcase why you fell in love with the property! 

Every property is unique and has its own story to tell 

It can be hard to sell a property you've lived in for a long period of time. 

But look at selling as an opportunity to show new potential families why you fell in love with the property in the first place!

Highlight the best parts of your property and what makes it unique!
