Furniture for hire service

Style and sell your empty property in the Northwest

Our hassle-free furniture for hire service is ideal for house builders, property developers and investors wanting to elevate and increase their return on investment. We don't just supply the furniture...we style the space!

A beautifully presented home is the most effective marketing tool to drive interest and increase sales or rental yield. Adding furniture gives a room purpose and provides scale; adding the finishing touches creates the lifestyle to enticing the viewers to mentally move in, encouraging faster sales and higher offer prices.

If you present prospective buyers with a grey or beige empty house, the same as all the other newly built or renovated properties on the market, they will knock you down on price. If they don't buy yours they can move onto the next. If you create a home they really want, they will be keen to find the asking price or more and fast.

We've achieved great results with our short-term furniture rental packages. Many of the properties we have staged have sold within a few days of hitting the market, often for more than expected, sometimes smashing the ceiling price in the area.

Why should you stage a property on the market?...

Below are a few more reasons why using our furniture hire service to stage an empty property on the market is the best, tried and tested way to boost its sale.

  • Make it 'scroll-stopping'... The property market is fierce; staging your property, along with professional photography, helps your listing to stand out whilst potential buyers scroll through the listing on various property portals like Rightmove or Zoopla. You have seconds to grab their attention.
  • Attract and keep their attention... Empty rooms rarely keep a viewers attentions for more than a few seconds. Give them something to look at to capture their imagination and keep them engaged for longer.
  • Make it memorable... When a potential buyer is visiting numerous properties, an empty house is easily forgotten. We create a look to distinguish it from the others with memorable points of reference.
  • Make it obvious... More often than not, viewers can not visualise a space in use: will their sofa or double bed fit in the room? Can they have a dining table and a sofa in the open plan space? Take away the doubt with our rental furniture. 
  • Make it easy to understand... Open plan spaces can be often be confusing or overwhelming for viewers; what is the space for? What goes where? We style and zone the rooms to make spaces instantly understandable, showing them what can be achieved. 
  • Remove the confusion... The purpose of an empty room can be unclear, especially in a single story dwelling such as a flat, apartment or bungalow. We give each room a logical, defined purpose to avoid confusion. 
  • Make them want your property above all the others on the market... Staging and styling a property on the market creates a desirable lifestyle the viewers can imagine themselves living in, encouraging the emotional connection. Show and sell them their dream home!

If your property is already furnished but lacks sparkle, we can add the accessories and style the space.

OUR FREE INITIAL PHONE CONSULTATION

THE QUOTATION

All we need is a digital floor plan, photographs of the property and an idea of your budget.
We will show you examples of the type, style and quality of furniture and furnishings you can expect to receive, including a list of items to be supplied in each room. Everything can be discussed and prepared over email and via phone calls.

Installation usually takes place over 1 or 2 days dependent on the size of the property and usually within 2 weeks of the order confirmation and payment. We can sometimes accommodate a faster turn-around if needed. It's always worth asking.

Typically, prices start from £2100 for 2 months rental of furniture and furnishings to stage a one-bed studio apartment. It all depends on the size of the property and number of rooms. Each one is assessed individually. The price includes delivery, installation and removal by our professional team and interior stylists. If you send the floor plans to us we can give you an idea of what it will cost to dress your property, with a general overview on the style, for free. However, as a full design scheme with mood boards for each room takes a long time produce we charge £168 for a full proposal which, if you go ahead, will be deducted from the price of the hire service. If you don't go ahead you can always use the mood boards as a guide to do it yourself. 

NOTE: As you will be responsible for the items within your property, the supply is dependent upon the property owner having contents insurance cover for the duration of the contract.

Design Assist Programme and staging

"I used Design Fix to stage one of my flips and it sold in 3 days!! Now I use Susie for all of my projects. Not only do they all sell first week on the market, the first person to view offers full asking!!

Susie has also helped me with the design elements throughout the refurb, including tweaking layouts to maximise the potential of the property and bringing colour and vibrancy to an otherwise lifeless empty property. She has proven an invaluable asset to my business."
