Ceri was consultant for both a house move and a house conversion to rental. She was professional, prompt and sensitive throughout. It’s evident that she loves her job and is deeply knowledgeable when it comes to marketing properties. In fact, her property write-up for our house was miles better than an estate agents. She also produced realistic photo renderings which is cost-effective compared to a full house renovation.
​
What I love most working with Ceri is the genuine caring attitude towards my financial commitments and a realistic approach to what’s affordable.
​
I have many more projects to do and I know that she is going to be my trusted advisor for upcoming ones too.

It has been a pleasure working with you and thank you for turning the staging around so quickly.​My development is lacking appeal and has been for sale for 2 years - Ceri turned a cold development into a desirable family home. I was very impressed with her professionalism, her swift timescale and the attention to detail is incredible.
Her staging has exceeded all my expectations. I will use her services again.
I highly recommend Ceri and the services of sort style and stage to anyone in need of property staging.​

Deciding to work with sort style and stage is one of the best decisions I ever made. Ceri completely transformed a tired and dated house (and person) into something amazing (the house, not the person!)
She took the stress out of everything, and approached the project with extreme professionalism, a keen eye and incredible efficiency. She has an amazing ability to see what needs to be done, and is able to do this whilst still respecting personal taste. The end result is a house which appeals to a wide range of people, and which has increased in value.
Ceri has an enviable talent for sourcing goods and services, and her team is also brilliant. They are responsive, respectful and very good at their jobs.I don’t have the words to recommend sort style and stage highly enough - they’ve given me back a house I had once loved but had fallen out of love with, and they’ve done it with speed, sensitivity and all round brilliance!

I met Ceri Owen, founder of sort style and stage via a staging portal. I posted the details of our property during a Saturday morning and she called me within the hour despite being on another project. That approach set the tone for the excellent service I received from Ceri and the team at Sort Style and Stage. Ceri attended our house the following Monday and advised necessary decorating works to the house, all of which she sourced contractors for. Ceri then met with them, organised quotes and managed them. I could interact, supervise and be involved as much as I wanted, however, it was clear that it was best to leave all to an expert. By the time we retained Sort Style and Stage we were under pressure to stage the house and put it on the market as soon as possible. Ceri met our timeline interacting throughout with us and our decorators and never once failing to meet our and her own (very high) expectations.
​
The staging was more than I expected; a contemporary classic style which suited our period home perfectly, with all items being of excellent quality. They filled a four bedroom house with furniture, objet d’art, pictures, faux plants (very good quality), books, children’s’ toys and even bathroom accessories so any perspective purchaser could really see a family home, not a show house. I could not see one mark on the floor or the walls from the furniture installation and removal. There is also clearly a good team behind Ceri, from the staging team to their office support who were helpful and responsive, at all times.
I have no doubt the staging was a major contributory factor in selling our house and I have no hesitation in recommending Sort Style and Stage for any staging project.
My review is a 5 star review and it would be a 7 star review, if that were possible!

Very much worth the money - asking price offer on the first day!We had been struggling to sell our 4 bed character property outside Henley upon Thames for over a year with no offers. The estate agent suggested staging the now empty house - and we are really glad we found Ceri. She has a real appreciation for what buyers see that owners often don't and put us together a personalised action plan for making the house its very best self.Over the course of a few days she spruced up the garden, installed furniture, lights and wall hangings, and even brought in more light with well placed mirrors.
The finished product was show home pristine and is well beyond anything we would have achieved ourselves. However the real benefit was with the buyers - who were the first people to see the house staged and put in an asking price offer in before the house was even back on Rightmove.
Having the house professionally staged was well worth the money, and looking back at all the time we'd spent trying to sell it previously, I wish we had done it sooner and saved ourselves the time.

Thank you so much for your works in helping our clients bring their property to market in such a positive and impressive way. Your staging has played a key part in this.
We are delighted to work with you and look forward to future interactions…

We asked Ceri to supply and stage our 5 bed HMO at very short notice.
She and her team worked incredibly hard, to a tight budget and delivered a high quality product.Each room staged had its own personality although there’s a common design theme.
Attention to detail was incredible. Her team even constructed a new workspace/dining space in the open plan area.
Ceri is a delight to work with and I’d highly recommend her services.​

I recently have had the pleasure of working with Ceri and her team, staging my 2 bedroom Maisonette in South West London.
We had just undergone an extensive renovation programme with a view to quickly selling our home and moving to our forever home. The renovation was very modern and our existing furniture wouldn't have shown the property to its best advantage. I had had staging mentioned to me by the estate agents and also an American friend, where the practice is quite standard, but I was a little nervous about the whole process.
From the moment I spoke with Ceri, I knew I was in expert hands. We had a very tight time frame turnaround and, but this didn't phase her at all (neither did our constant changes!).One of my key considerations, was that we were keen to live back in our property, but thought that that would be impossible with staged furniture. However, Ceri was very happy for us to move home. Our flat went on the market on Wednesday, we had viewings on the Saturday and sold on the Monday so we couldn't be happier.
Thanks Ceri for everything you have done for us and for talking me off a few ledges.

sort style and stage helped re-invigorate both my front and back garden after moving into a new property. Throughout the project the team were fantastic to work with.
​
Ceri brought great ideas to the table, enquired and listened to my own personal tastes and created a lovely space for me to sit outside and relax, as well as making it both dog and cat friendly.
Both an efficient & cost minded approach, coupled with a personable style & excellent end result means Ceri and team were a pleasure to work - I would recommend highly!

Ceri at sort, style and stage is excellent.
She reached out to me by phone first thing Monday morning after I 'barked' for help on Sunday evening.I returned her call explaining that I was primarily seeking advice to pass on to family dealing with a probate house sale. She provided a wealth of knowledge that has been invaluable. Sadly, I could not persuade family members of the value of outsourcing staging to sell the house quickly and maximise any offer. Ceri was very understanding and simply said they'd be there as and when we needed them if the house doesn't sell as quickly as we'd like!
Top notch customer service and experience. I'd recommend to anyone.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with sort style and stage.
Ceri worked closely with my builder and took a lot of the hassle of timings / finish from me. The final product was amazing and I am thrilled with the outcome.
​
Highly recommended.

We've used sort style and stage several times now - including on our investment properties. The team always listen to our needs and transform our homes into welcoming and useable spaces, quickly and at a cost-effective price.
They certainly add value to our homes and investment properties.
We can't recommend them highly enough.​

Ceri also produced a virtual kitchen space which would enthuse most buyers, quite a statement piece.
I wholeheartedly recommend sort style and stage.

We asked Ceri to stage our 4 bedroom townhouse.
The end result is fabulous and the attention to detail is incredible. I now see the benefits of home staging.
I’d highly recommend her services.

Ceri was super quick in reaching out to me and whilst at first it wasn't quite what I was after, in a matter a a few moments she clearly explained her offering and it made great sense. In this day and age where we all need to be mindful of unnecessary waste, virtual staging is a God-send.
Ceri's communication was quick and regular, keeping me updated to the the progress.
The end result was just amazing. My wife even commented:
“Wow, this is a place I could live in. "
I wanted to attract as many tenants as possible and we certainly achieved that with sort style and stage’s virtual images. The property went under offer on day on. We’ll certainly use them again.
P Thomas, Investor
We've seen the work of other home stagers, however what really impressed us with sort style and stage, was the incredible detail service they provide. The staging made the home look fantastic and helped sell the property.
We'd happily recommend their services
Wellington & Evans, Estate Agents
As a developer, this is the first time I've used the services of a professional interiors and staging solution company. I want to maximise the end result of our refurbishment and that's certainly been achieved.
I've worked with Ceri over a number of months - nothing has been too much trouble. The attention to detail is incredible and the end result is amazing. I highly recommend the services of Sort Style and Stage and won't hesitate working with them again.

"All people thinking of putting their home on the market should consider using a house staging company. We thought our home would sell easily but we were not looking at it from a buyer's perspective. Today’s housing market demands show home perfection giving buyers the full potential of what your home has to offer.
​
Ceri and her team worked so hard through the entire house and garden adding every little touch down to the minutest detail. We left the house in the morning and came home later in the day to a completely transformed house that really showed all the best attributes the house could offer. We wished we had tried this the first time around.
​
Our house is under offer and the buyers want to keep the furniture. We wholeheartedly fully recommend using sort style and stage and thank them for their support and for their professional approach throughout the entire process of selling our home".

I highly recommend the services of sort style and stage.
I've been struggling to sell my empty property so I approached Ceri for help. She and her team were extremely proactive and were able to completely stage my 4 bedroom townhouse quickly, efficiently and cost effectively. I'm thrilled with the results.
We've had one viewing already and the feedback was fabulous.
I will certainly be reaching out to sort style and stage for help with selling my next project.
