If you’re putting your home on the market, make sure you get it right.

Have you ever wondered what the benefits are of staging a home for sale? 

Do you ever wonder if it’s just for property magnates and established estate agents?

The truth is that if you have a property to sell or to let, then home staging is for you.  Why?  

Because staging a property can give you a significant return on investment and sell your property faster. That’s less time on the market and more money in your pocket.

Here our 5 top tips to get you started:

1. Clean

Sounds obvious right? You would be surprised how many people don’t give their homes a thorough clean before putting them on the market. Show your potential buyers your home has been well looked after. Get appliances like ovens professionally cleaned.

2. Declutter

Clutter is distracting. You want your buyer to see your home’s potential. Remove all unnecessary clutter, if you can, start putting things in storage.

3. Depersonalise

Potential buyers need to envisage themselves in your home, this isn’t easy with a giant canvas of your pet pooch staring back at them. Replace family portraits with simple art.

4. Stage for the Season

When staging your home, always try to remember what season we are in. It can be a little off-putting for someone walking into a home that looks like it belongs in the Caribbean, after stepping off the icy streets outside.

Likewise, entering a home that looks as dull as Winter, can seriously turn you off in the Summer.

5. Which rooms to stage

If you’re on a budget, why not concentrate home staging on the rooms that matter? The main rooms are:

Living room

Kitchen

Master bedroom

Bathroom
