Staging is just one part of the process of selling your property.
It’s not always needed in the conventional place for every property, because you may have it already staged without knowing it.
For instance if you live in the property or its tenanted, then it’s likely to already look like a home, which is the look your wanting to achieve.
The more conventional idea of staging is for empty properties that may be hard to look appealing to interested buyers. It’s hard to see how an empty property will look when full, and a staged property helps achieve this, by showing the look of the property to the buyer quickly, and they can see easily what their future home could look like.

Do It Yourself Or Use A Professional
Because staging is simple to do, but difficult to master, it can be a good idea to use a professional in certain circumstances.
But many sellers choose to do their own staging.
It’s simple (and appealing) to get a cheap furniture pack or a visit to ikea to get the house kitted out quickly with decent looking furniture, but putting it together is where the skill lies.
This is where a professional can really help out. An interior designer or someone who has an eye for detail will help your property stand out. If your selling a property over a £100,000 and it costs £500 to fully stage it, is that a good investment?
What if you consider that this might get you a higher offer? or allow you to sell the property quicker? Then surely this small investment is worthwhile.
And this only makes more sense the higher the value property, where an extra couple of % on the asking price could mean thousands of pounds and a much faster property sale.
