Did you know???
Here are some questions Stageplicity are often asked, but should you have questions where the answers don't appear below, give us a call, we are happy to have a chat with you.
How long does the staging stay in place?
Stageplicity staging packages last for an initial period of five weeks.
If the house is not sold within that time, the contract can often be extended on a weekly basis.
If your home sells within 5 weeks – Congratulations, but sorry no refunds or discount.
What is the difference between full and partial staging?
Full Staging: Used for vacant properties, involves planning the placement of furniture, décor settings, art and accessories in all key living areas.
Partial/Occupied Staging: We use some of the homeowner’s existing furniture while adding staging accessories, sometimes homes are being lived in by the owners.
How much notice does Stageplicity need?
While we can work with 48 hours' notice, it is best to provide one to two weeks'notice to secure a date.
When should I stage my home?
Staging should be completed before the property is listed for sale and photographed. Over 80% of buyers start their search online. It is important to complete all renovations, painting, and cleaning before we bring in our staging furniture and décor.
What types of homes do you stage?
From modern family homes to character properties and lifestyle homes, every property is unique. We tailor our staging to suit the style of the home and the buyers it is likely to attract.
Will Stageplicity offer outdoor staging?
Yes, no problem outdoor furniture and accessories can be included to improve the aesthetics of the outdoor area and also add to the street appeal,this will come with an additional fee.

When should I contact you?
The earlier the better. Getting in touch before your property goes to market gives us time to create a staging plan and ensure everything is ready for photography and open homes.
Can we use our own furniture and artwork?
Not every home needs full staging. Sometimes a few carefully chosen pieces and some styling advice can make all the difference. We’ll chat through your property and recommend the option that best suits your home and budget.
