Why Professional Home Staging Is So Important

Selling properties never gets easier. Potential buyers fluctuate depending on the times, with a new generation of first time buyers struggling to save enough to buy. So putting your home up for sale can be a daunting and often unrewarding task. However, with the recent prominence in home staging in the UK, it’s possible to make your job much easier. From our experience, we’ve highlighted some of the main reasons why home staging your property is so important, and how it benefits you.

1. More Offers Guaranteed

We can attest to this fact, as it is how our company was conceived. Our story is as follows: It began with a single job to help out a struggling London developer, for an apartment on the market that simply wouldn’t sell. An idea was born to stage the apartment to attract potential homeowners, and so we worked our magic. Within two weeks of staging, the developers received an offer, followed by a down payment and the apartment sold.

2. Professional’s Impartial Take on Your Home

Anyone can stage their home for potential buyers, but there are reasons why you may wish to bring professional home stagers to do the job for you. One factor to consider is that a professional has an impartial take on your home as their goal is look past the sentimental and personal and achieve the best result. It can be a difficult undertaking for a home owner to separate their subjective views from those proven to help success.

3. It’s Worth Your Money

Here at LJ Interiors, we offer our home staging services as a bundle which includes delivery and fitting of furnishings and professionally taken photos for you to use for when advertising your property. With access to a range of vetted and trusted suppliers at a trade price that normal retailers won’t match, we pride on good value for our stock and services. Another benefit to an agreed price point prevents you from overspending when buying your own furnishings and not foreplanning every purchase. 

4. Relieves Stress 

Not only can overspending become an issue, but balancing the many visits to furniture stores, doing the heavy lifting of your furniture that needs removed or relocated, or failing to find what matches you vision all together, there is stress that comes with renovating your home. It takes time and constant effort, so getting a potential

5. Properties Sell Faster

The Home Staging Association had this to say: “Staged homes spend, on average, half the time on the market than non-staged homes.”As well as: “Average staging investment is between 1% and 3% of the home’s asking price, which generates an ROI of 8% to 10%. Generally, staged home sell over 8% above asking price.”

It’s an investment worth the payoff, and likely to get you faster results. If done professionally, you also save on the stress of getting the job done all by yourself. So if you’re thinking of taking that next step, don’t hesitate to seek out a professional.
