Should you style your property before sale?

An empty property looks cold and uninviting, while a poorly furnished one is a turn-off too. But you can alter the perceptions of your property easily with staging and styling.
Home staging and styling involves bringing furniture and homewares in to create a space that appeals to a broader market. A styled property not only look more appealing, but also photographs better – a bonus in today’s competitive market.
Property styling is an essential part of a successful sales campaign and a wise investment in today’s competitive sales market if you wish to maximise your property’s sale potential. Styling your home could boost the final sale price by between 7.5% and 12.5%.

3 critical steps to prepare a property for sale

Taking personal emotion out of the equation and look at the property from a buyer's perspective. There are three key areas to focus on when preparing your property for sale to help you get the best price:
1. Make simple repairs
One of the biggest turn-offs for buyers is wear and tear such as chipped tiles, cracked windows, scuffed paintwork, stained carpets, and other obvious signs of damage. These unsightly areas instantly alert buyers there is work required, which can diminish their initial enthusiasm for your property and lower the price they are prepared to pay. Discuss with your agent which areas you should overhaul before placing your property on the market. You want to ensure you are increasing appeal while not overcapitalising.
2. Clean and declutter
Study other houses currently on the market and you will see they have been decluttered, cleaned thoroughly, and may even have been styled to look modern and pristine. Removing lots of clutter makes the prospective buyer able to see the room properly while more importantly, making the room appear larger. Cleaning the house, even hidden areas such as under the sink, makes the house look well-cared for. This gives the buyer a subliminal impression that the house has been well-maintained and there should be no hidden problems.
3. Style your home
Hiring furniture and styling can give your property a fresh look which appeals to buyers. It creates a positive impact on buyers who are inspecting your property in person and online.
