Home Staging Definition:
"Home Staging is about making a home appeal to the highest number of potential buyers in order to sell the property faster for more money. Home Staging techniques focus on improving a property's appearance by
transforming it into a welcoming, attractive home with lifestyle and buyer appeal".
Are Home Staging Business services needed?
Most home buyers search online before visiting their local estate agent. Rightmove alone has over 900,000 properties for sale at any time, so with buyers scrolling through thousands of pictures of potential
homes, the way a home is styled and presented really makes all the difference.
"I have loved every minute of the CHSSP course and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to develop their home staging skills. The course covers not only the creative aspects of home staging, but is
also packed full of great information and advice on setting up a home staging business, including webinars, document templates, websites, software and tools. The course is very flexible and tutors are
always on hand to provide support and answer questions."

What opportunities are there for a Home Staging business?
Companies spend millions creating the right image for their products through display and presentation. Professional Home Staging, 'the art of making a home appealing to the highest number
of potential buyers', is very popular in the US and increasingly growing as a business service both in the UK, Europe, Australia and throughout the world.

For many years US Homeowners have used staging companies to get their property sold faster for more money. UK homeowners are increasingly catching on, taking up services and getting into the Home Staging philosophy.

The Future for the Home Staging Sector
The total number of UK housing transactions in 2023 were 1,022,820. Those transactions are forecast to rise to over 1.3 million in 2025. (Source: Gov.uk)
These figures show that over one million homeowners and investors put property on the market and wish to sell each year. In additional a large number put their
property on the market but unfortunately fail to sell. That's possibly close to 2 million properties going to market and available to benefit from Home Staging services.
New build house sales in the year to Sept 2024 were 221,500. New build property, a blank canvas which buyers often fail to envisage as a home, particularly benefits from show home staging, and property developers increasingly turn to staging companies to get the best price on their investment.
According to Savilles 1 in 40 homes are now worth over £ 1 million. "The number of property millionaires across Great Britain has shot up over the past three years, as a consequence a booming property market, with people placing a greater value than ever on their home and lifestyle", comments Lucian Cook, head of residential research at Savills. This represents a property market ripe with opportunities, ready to benefit from Quality Home Staging Services. The CHSSP course equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to tap into this lucrative market and succeed.
