Staging your home for a viewing? 3 tips to guarantee a sale

There’s no doubt about it, storage units are a great solution for people looking to move home; it allows you to stagger your move making it easier to transport your belongings to your new home. However, did you know that storage units also help with other aspects of the moving process, like getting your house sold in the first place? On average, it takes 102 days to sell a UK property; buyers are very particular about what they’re looking for, so it’s important that your house looks the part. Here are three ways that a storage unit can help you to stage your home and make it look irresistible to potential buyers:

Get rid of the clutter

Clutter is the last thing you want when you’re trying to sell your home; messy surfaces and overflowing drawers can be off putting to those at the viewing. In fact, 93% of estate agents recommend that sellers declutter their home if they want to secure a sale. Storage units are great for clutter, as you can use them to store family heirlooms or items of sentimental value until your house gets sold. A storage unit also makes you realise which items are important to you; if you forgot about their existence while they were in storage, it might be a sign that you don’t need them taking up space in your new home.

Store bulky furniture

Furniture tastes are unique and vary from person to person; the furniture in your home might not be to the buyer’s tastes, distracting them from seeing the positive aspects of the home. Storage is useful for storing niche furniture until moving day and it can also free up space, which can make a room appear larger at house viewings.

Finish off decorating

If you want to increase the sale value of your home, it’s important to update the amenities and aesthetics of each room. By using storage, furniture is out of the way allowing you to focus solely on decoration so that every wall, ceiling, and door looks perfect.
