Garden makeovers – for selling or improving your home

2013-10-14T10:50:34+00:00

Garden makeovers for selling: It’s so easy to forget to keep the garden tidy when you’re selling your house, especially in winter.  But potential buyers won’t be able to imagine how good it will look in the summer, if all they can see now is a mess.  Remove empty plant pots, jet wash patios and pathways, remove children’s toys, add some seasonal colour with a few suitable plants etc and make a good impression. Garden makeovers for yourself: Just like [...]

Don’t forget the outdoor spaces

2013-09-23T14:34:23+00:00

When you're selling a house, the outdoor space is equally as important as the indoor.  Just finish it all off nicely.  This home was staged last week, and even though it was a fairly wet day, we arranged the new pots and positioned the table, and I kept my eye on the weather, and the moment the sun appeared, I put the cushions out and took the photos quick!!  Before After

Home staging in Nottingham – don’t sell your house whilst it’s being rented

2013-10-17T18:07:14+00:00

Need to sell your house? Here is a prime example of why you shouldn't put your house on the market whilst you have tenants in it. You have no control over the external or internal appearance of the house, and this is one of the key requirements for home staging - the process of preparing your house for a fast, profitable sale. All the "Before" photos below were taken just before the tenants moved out. We were ready to commence [...]

One-day home staging in Derbyshire. Small changes…huge transformation.

2013-10-17T18:07:24+00:00

My "One-day Home Staging" service has been very popular, especially over the past year.  Estate Agents are recommending it to homeowners with houses that are essentially in good condition, and have a reasonable amount of furniture, window dressings and some artwork and finishing touches. Whilst it is possible for me to combine a consultation and the one-day home staging service together into one day, most properties benefit from having a Consultation first, then a short while later, having the staging day.  It enables them to [...]

Occasionally I DO suggest spending money on the garden…

2013-09-23T14:41:18+00:00

I don't usually encourage homeowners to spend a great deal of money on garden alterations when preparing to sell a house, but this one was really worth it - especially when the sun came out too!

Why you should tidy the garden before you put your house up for sale…

2013-09-23T14:45:25+00:00

Don't forget the outside of your house when you are preparing it for sale!  When you're in a rush to sell your home, it's easy to concentrate your efforts on the house itself. Especially in winter when the garden is so boring!  But displaying a well-kept garden and showing all external areas at their best will add real value when your house goes up for sale.    Which garden would you prefer to take on? This is much more appealing.
