Why stage your property?
Simply put – because it makes financial sense:
-
It accelerates the sale: Staged homes tend to sell up to two times faster than non-staged ones. With the average time on the market in 2024 around 19 weeks, staging can significantly reduce this period.
-
It helps secure higher sale price: In 2022, staged homes achieved sale prices by 1 to 11% above the asking price. They appear ready to move-in, which can justify a higher asking price and attract serious buyers.
-
It gives competitive edge: A well-staged home stands out in online listings and can attract more interest compared to non-staged properties.
But don't take our word for it. Here is what others in the industry say:
According to Rightmove Property Guide (Oct 2016):
"Bare properties usually struggle to sell quickly, so we advise all vendors to enlist the help of home staging to fill the property with furniture and make it look ready to move into.
Staged homes don’t just secure more viewings and offers, they also command a higher asking price. In fact, our research shows that they sell for a huge 8% more than non-staged homes.
It really does make sense therefore to opt for the service."
The latest statistics from the UK Home Staging Association 2023 report show that:
-
100% of property professionals said that staged homes get more viewings and sell up to 2 times faster;

-
100% said home staging makes it easier for a buyer to visualise a property as their next home.
