Should I renovate or stage my property before selling?

Sellers

Deciding whether to renovate or stage depends on your home’s current condition and the local housing market. Minor upgrades—like repainting walls, updating fixtures, or fixing cosmetic issues—can boost buyer appeal and potentially raise your home’s market value. On the other hand, staging involves arranging furniture and décor to showcase your property in the best possible light, helping potential buyers visualise living in the space.

• When Renovations Make Sense: If the kitchen or bathrooms are outdated, or if there are structural problems, it may be worth investing in necessary repairs or modest remodels.
• Professional Staging: Hiring a staging professional can make your property look more spacious and inviting, often resulting in faster and higher offers.
• Cost vs. Benefit: Always weigh the potential return on investment. A large-scale renovation might not always guarantee a proportional increase in the final sale price.

At HJ Byrne, we help sellers determine the best strategy—whether it’s small touch-ups or full-scale staging—so you can maximise your return without overspending.
