An absolutely inspiring day yesterday celebrating 25 years of at

Hearing the story from its inception in 2001 to the global brand it is today was a real reminder of what’s possible when a business is built with intention.

To be aligned as a preferred supplier within this network speaks volumes about how we’re operating within the luxury, high-end market.

A full day of keynote speakers across luxury, AI, health, mindset and business, I’ve left with so many ideas.

Excited to reconnect with agents across Devon & Cornwall and build on those conversations.

Can buyers actually visualise a home’s potential?

Research suggests only around 1 in 10 buyers can walk into a property and clearly picture how it could look once there is furniture.

The reality is that 85–90% of buyers struggle to see past what’s currently in front of them; the furniture, layout, styling or lack of it.

This is exactly why presentation matters so much when selling.

When a home is thoughtfully staged, buyers don’t have to imagine the lifestyle the property offers.

They can see it, feel it and connect with it immediately.

Because buyers rarely purchase potential.

They purchase what they can experience the moment they walk through the door.

The Hidden £82M Stuck on the South Hams Property Market

I’ve been digging into current listings across five of my favourite South Hams seaside towns and the numbers are staggering.

Across these towns, there is £82 million worth of properties sitting in the £1m+ bracket.

But what’s more interesting is this:

- A surprising number have been on the market since 2024
- Several have had price drops ranging from £50k to £450k

And yet… most are still being marketed exactly the same way they were a year ago.

The cost of price reductions vs. the cost of staging is worlds apart. To put things clearly into perspective:

- Staging an occupied £1m+ home: could be roughly 0.5–1% of property value
- Staging a vacant £1m+ home: could be around 1–1.5% of property value

Meanwhile, price drops on these homes are reaching well into six figures, with zero guarantee of faster or better offers.

And here’s where I know I can make a difference…

With the right staging approach, I’m confident I could improve the saleability, shorten time on market, or increase sale price on at least 75% of these listings.

Because premium buyers looking in the South Hams don’t just buy properties, they buy lifestyle, feeling, aspiration, and a story.

And that’s exactly what presentation creates.

So why aren’t more agents embracing staging as a value‑add? The “wait and see” approach is costing sellers time, money, and momentum.

And the data is proving it.

If you’re an agent, homeowner, or developer with a high‑value property that's stuck… there is another way.

Back from an inspiring day at and my mind is racing with design possibilities!

I spent the day reconnecting with suppliers and scouting the latest interior trends to bring back to our projects in Devon.

For me, home staging isn’t just about filling a room; it’s about sourcing first-class, premium pieces that make a house feel like a dream home.

VACANT vs OCCUPIED — STAGING WORKS FOR BOTH

One of the biggest misconceptions about home staging is that it only works for empty properties. The truth? Staging is just as powerful in occupied homes - it simply works in different ways.

Occupied properties...
Staging enhances what’s already there. By editing, rebalancing layouts and introducing key pieces, we help buyers focus on space, flow and lifestyle, not personal belongings.
➡️ In one recent occupied home, staging helped secure an acceptable offer in under 2 weeks, achieving 7.7% over the guide price.

Vacant properties...
Empty homes often feel cold and hard to read. Staging adds warmth, scale and emotional connection, helping buyers understand how the space works and imagine living there.
➡️ Recent vacant homes achieved:
• An acceptable offer in 20 days after nearly 5 years on the market
• A full asking price offer in just 6 days

Different challenges. Same solution.

Whether a home is lived in or completely empty, strategic staging helps properties sell faster and stronger, often for a small percentage of the guide price.

If you’re unsure which approach is right for your property, I’m always happy to advise.

STAGING SUCCESS STORY

This innovative and beautifully finished eco-home had been on the market for around one month as a vacant property. While the quality was clear, the empty space made it difficult for buyers to fully understand scale, layout and how the home could be lived in.

Following professional staging, the impact was immediate.

The property received a first acceptable offer in just 6 days, achieving a full asking price offer.

The cost of staging? Just 0.9% of the guide price.

Vacant properties often feel cold, empty and difficult to read. Staging brings scale, warmth and lifestyle into the space, helping buyers emotionally connect and see the home’s true potential.

Small investment. Major shift.

If you’re struggling to sell a vacant property, staging could be the missing piece and I would love to help.

STAGING SUCCESS STORY

This beautiful countryside home had been on the market for 3 months with little interest. After professional staging, it received an acceptable offer in under 2 weeks and sold for 7.7% over the guide price.

The cost of staging? Just 1.14% of the guide price.

And here’s the important bit...

This was an occupied property.

Home staging isn’t just for empty houses, it can be done sympathetically and effectively while sellers are still living in the home, enhancing space, flow and buyer appeal without disruption.

Small investment. Big impact.

UK Property Market Shows Early-Year Momentum

Standing Out Still Matters

According to The Guardian, the UK housing market has kicked off 2026 with a significant bounce in asking prices, the largest January increase in over a decade, with the average asking price rising by almost £10,000 as sellers regain confidence after late 2025 uncertainty.

While this “new year bounce” is great news for homeowners, it’s also heightened competition as more properties come to market. In a crowded field, how can sellers ensure their property not only attracts attention but achieves the best possible price?

Enter... Home Staging. Your Competitive Edge.

Here’s why investing in staging can make all the difference:

🔹 With most buyers starting their search digitally, great staging translates into better listing photos, higher CTR's, more viewings and ultimately more offers.
🔹 Capturing buyer interest from the first viewing.
🔹 A well-presented property can increase perceived value, helping justify your asking price and even driving higher offers.
🔹Thoughtful staging helps buyers imagine their life in your home, a key factor in decision-making and offer strength.

In a market where average asking prices are climbing and buyer activity is picking up, home staging isn’t just décor, it’s smart marketing.

If you’re preparing to list, staging could be the lift that helps your property outperform the market this year.

Staging at this level isn't decorative, it's strategic.

Open, light-filled spaces like this don't just photograph beautifully, they help buyers emotionally place themselves in a home.

Clean lines, considered finishes and a layout designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining.

If this is the lifestyle your buyers are looking for then the presentation needs to reflect it.

In the luxury property market, buyers expect more than a well-presented home.
They expect clarity, intent, and confidence in the way a property is positioned.

Luxury home staging isn’t decoration.

It’s a strategic layer of the marketing process, one that guides perception, supports value, and elevates desirability.

With over a decade of experience across every market cycle, we understand what discerning buyers respond to and what they don’t.

If you’re bringing a high-value property to market in 2026, consider professional staging as standard, not an add-on.

Because in this market, details matter.

A house full of furniture and filled to the brim with decades of memories.

No problem.

A huge part of staging is working with occupied properties.

Decluttering is something every seller must do before they move anyway, so why not get ahead of the curve?

By decluttering strategically and having your home professionally staged while occupied, you position your property to stand out from the competition, attract buyers faster, and command full asking price.

In the luxury market, results are never accidental.
They are designed, curated, and built with intention.

✔️ Less time on market
✔️ Stronger buyer perception
✔️ Maximum value realised

If your property needs a helping hand or you have a listing that will benefit from this advice, please get in touch, I would love to help.
