Eastlife Spring 2021

This is our fourth issue during the pandemic. Fourth! I can’t quite believe it. Like many other businesses we have learned to adapt. I am no longer flustered when events are cancelled at the last moment before print, it has become the norm.

Stage the Scene<br />

Let your home tell a story<br />

BEFORE<br />

Staging for residential sales is big business in the US, but<br />

somewhat overlooked in the UK. With stamp duty suspended<br />

until 31 March, the property market is currently booming. If you’re<br />

looking to make a quick sale, home staging could make all the<br />

difference.<br />

The concept of staging means getting your home ready for a<br />

potential buyer. A few simple changes can help speed up the<br />

sale of your home and even add value.<br />

Staging is important for both estate agency photography<br />

and home showings. Don’t wait for a prospective buyer to<br />

step through your door, start staging your home for online<br />

photographs. Rightmove and Zoopla are an online platform to<br />

showcase your home. In a competitive market, if you provide<br />

beautiful alluring imagery, you’ll see an increase in viewings,<br />

which could lead to a quicker sale. When a potential buyer arrives<br />

to view the home, ensure they see the scene they saw online.<br />

Continue to sell them a well-put together home they could<br />

imagine living in.<br />

Not sure where to start? Home Style Stories, a home staging<br />

company for both residential properties and holiday homes,<br />

offers multiple services to help you sell your home (or increase<br />

booking revenue). Online consultations, styling advice, redesigns,<br />

organisation and more, the small team understand what it takes<br />

to sell a home. With over 30 years’ experience in interiors and<br />

marketing, they work closely with every homeowner to ensure a<br />

successful sale.<br />

Lucy Eastwood, stylist and owner at Home Style Stories, said:<br />

“The market is saturated. To sell quickly you must stand out from<br />

the crowd, find your USP and showcase it to the world. At Home<br />

Style Stories we weave styling and marketing together to create<br />

visual storytelling. We help clients sell the dream.”<br />

A prospective buyer will make a judgement in seconds, what do<br />

you want them to see?<br />
