  • What does a home stager do?

If you aren’t familiar with home staging services, here is a step-by-step guide to help you understand the process:

  2. Receive your home staging quote

    A personalised quote will be sent to you with a breakdown of approximate costs. This will be made up of the home staging service fees, the cost of any homeware, accessories and furniture needed. Usually these items are rented but occasionally a property will need something bespoke which would be added to the overall budget.

This work would normally be undertaken on weekdays between 9am and 5pm. However, if there is an urgency to getting the flat or house on the market, the process can be expedited to include evening and weekend work, though some additional charges may be incurred.
