Furnishing
empty property to sell
The value, costs
and benefit of furniture rental or furniture hire to dress empty
property vary. We discuss the issues to consider and options
available to dress a
property with wow factor to sell at the best price quickly.
 Whether
in an area with strong property market or not, it is not worth
risking the sale of
your home with poor presentation and empty rooms. All property will benefit
from some furnishing to draw in higher numbers of viewers and
ultimately buyers to the property. Buyers respond
emotively to a property. Only 10% of viewers have the vision to imagine an empty property
furnished. The first impression is very important.
Furniture rental -
avoiding empty property
An
empty
property without furniture appears cold, echoes and viewers
find difficulty in visualising how and where furniture would be
arranged. By presenting a property with good furniture and adding stylish accessories the property
will provide a good first impression of life style. People want to
live in a home and rooms look smaller when empty. A professional Home Stager
will choose appropriate furnishings, a perfect layout and add stylish
accessories.
Furniture
rental - Can I rent small quantities?
If
you wish to rent small quantities of furniture or accessories it
may be a similar cost to buying them. This is because of the logistics involved in
packing up, delivering and installing the
inventory and then a team of people coming back to wrap, collect,
remove at the end of the rental period and put back into storage again. You should weigh up the benefits of
having all of this done for you with fast delivery and
installation and removal quickly at the end of the term compared
to buying the goods and selling them on afterwards.
Furnishing
empty property - assistance to choose and style items
A
House Wow Home Stager can choose the best
layout for furniture and a combination of furniture rental and
accessory rental or purchases to suit the property

professional styling sells houses. The professional Home
stager will provide the expert styling to make your
property stand out from the crowd with wow factor
that pulls in more viewers and motivated buyers who see a sale through to completion.

Furniture rental or furniture
purchase?
Deciding
whether to rent furniture or purchase furniture to dress your home will depend
on your selling circumstances, the value of the property, the
area and whether you may use the furniture again or be able to
sell it onto the buyer. Property which is likely to be a first
time buyer property is even more likely to benefit from the wow
factor that correctly staged furniture and accessories can
bring. And the buyers often buy the pack of
furniture when purchasing the house to keep the show
home look. With House Wow furniture rental you have the opportunity to buy the furniture at
any point
and re-sell to the property buyer, should they request it.
Furniture
rental - for investors and developers
Developers or investors
who are likely to use the furniture again in other properties
would be better advised consider a furniture purchase option to dress
the property. The cost of show
home rental over a prolonged period
to sell a number of houses on a housing development are unlikely to be cost effective.
However for 3 months furniture rental will be cheaper than a
purchase and at 6 months is likely to break even with the price
of buying the show home furniture and finishes.
Decorations and window treatments can be added as an additional
service.
Furniture
rental - for selling residential property
Sellers who prefer to have the furniture and
dressing installed professionally and removed at a time
convenient to them would be best advised to consider furniture rental.
A specialist furniture rental company, such as House Wow, can
style effectively for the property sale, choose and install the
furniture and remove it later when the property is sold.
Time and money can be saved by handing the furnishing task over
to the professionals.
Furniture
rental - Classic, Eclectic or Contemporary Styles
House
Wow®
can buy custom pieces of furniture to suit the
style of house and create the correct ambience for classic,
eclectic or contemporary furniture styles. Furniture rental
styles for furnishing the lounge, drawing room, dining room, bedrooms,
kitchen, bathrooms, en-suite, family room, conservatory, cinema
room, wine cellar, home office and more can be
accommodated.
Furniture
rental - timescales
Property sellers may need to keep the rental furniture in place for
3-6 months depending on housing market factors and speed of sale to exchange of contract and completion.
It's not a good idea to empty the property after a buyer makes an
offer, and we would advise to retain the whole look and
feel of the property until the sale completes. Furniture
rental packages can be turned around within days. Additional
work for curtain treatments, decorations etc will take
longer.
Furniture
- costs to rent or to buy
It's possible to compare prices for furniture rental or
furniture hire with a furniture and styling purchase option. Buying a
complete home furniture pack or new home starter furniture pack
can be less than you think and means that you keep the furniture as long as needed.
The cost of renting a full room lounge set with furniture and
accessories and 1 bedroom fully installed and styling ranges
from £500 per month plus VAT. See more
options here. House Wow may also consider a buy back option where furniture has
only been used in an un-lived in property.
Furniture
rental - Wow factor
The furniture and accessories which
House Wow® supply gives the property the essential wow factor and buyer
appeal required for selling. Wow factor and buyer appeal have been
shown time and again to achieve
a faster sale closest to or above asking price. A well presented property will
receive more competitive interest and this affects offer price and commitment to a faster,
less troublesome sale.
Estate Agent's
know that they can sell property faster and for a higher price
when it is furnished and well presented. They are likely to
value it higher and more
likely to consider your negotiation on fees if the property is
styled to sell rather than empty. Ask their opinion and check
the fee structure.
