The Home Staging

The Home Staging Team is a UK-based business specialising in professional home staging services, dedicated to enhancing properties to facilitate swift sales at optimal market values. The company's core mission involves collaborating closely with clients to achieve these outcomes. The firm is recognised for its commitment to service quality, holding a 5-star Google rating. The company's inception stems from the personal experience of its founder, Sarah Stoker.

In 2020, after her own property sale encountered an issue due to the global pandemic, Ms. Stoker undertook a significant decluttering and staging effort. This process resulted in her home selling for 30% more than its previous valuation, achieving an additional £150,000, within a year of the initial sale attempt. Inspired by this success and her existing passion for interior design and property investment, Ms.

Stoker established The Home Staging Team to assist property developers, investors, estate agents, and homeowners in achieving similar results. Home staging, as offered by The Home Staging Team, functions as a marketing tool designed to enable potential buyers to envision a desired lifestyle within a property. This is achieved through the careful curation, design, and installation of furniture and accessories. The company transforms vacant properties of various sizes into inviting homes, aiming for quick sales and the best possible market value.

The process typically begins with a complimentary consultation, where project specifics, timelines, and subsequent steps are discussed in detail. This initial stage is crucial for understanding client requirements and identifying the ideal buyer demographic. Following the consultation, the team of experienced home staging professionals develops a plan to ensure the property distinguishes itself and appeals to its target audience, culminating in the scheduling of an installation date. On installation day, the team furnishes and styles the property.

Upon completion of the installation, clients receive a comprehensive set of photographs and a video of the staged property. The company's complete home staging service includes design and planning, full installation, a full set of photographs, a video, and an 8-12 week furniture hire period, followed by collection. The firm also offers partial staging for key rooms and a de-cluttering and consultation service for occupied properties. The Home Staging Team explicitly does not offer virtual staging, advising against it due to potential buyer disappointment upon viewing an empty property after seeing virtual representations.

The Home Staging Team provides its services across Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, and London, staging properties of all sizes throughout the South of England and the capital. The firm works with a diverse client base, including property developers, investors, estate agents, and individual homeowners. For clients managing multiple properties, such as new developments with several identical units, the company typically recommends staging one unit as a show home, with the option to relocate the staging to subsequent units as each sells. The company maintains an average "Staged to Sold" timeframe of 14 days, with some properties selling within 24 hours of being staged.

The company's registered address is 3rd Floor, 25-29 Queen Street, Maidenhead, Berkshire, England, SL6 1NB. The Home Staging Team focuses exclusively on residential property staging for sale or rental purposes. The company's website content and service descriptions do not indicate any specialisation or experience in Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA). Their expertise is directed towards general residential properties, including those for homeowners, property developers, investors, and estate agents.
