In this blog, we're going to focus on a home which was on the market for many months, with no sale and how we turned that around to achieve a sale in 6 weeks.

Field View, Jordans

This home is in a secluded spot in the fabulous village of Jordans. Its a 5 bedroom home and has a super flexible floorplan. Its a contemporary dormer home so has a large floorplan on the ground floor with additional rooms in the basement and on the first floor.

Our client had tried to sell the home, while living in it, over many months in 2025. They had two small children and the home was immaculately presented although of course suited their particular needs rather than those of potential buyers. Despite this, the home sat on the market with no proceedable offers for many months. Our client was relocating abroad so would take the majority of the furniture and accessories with them. They were concerned that a home was partially filled with furniture would not achieve a sale and particularly would not get them the highest possible re-sale value. We've already had another successful project in Jordans, so that client recommended us for this project.

We met with our clients and came up with an action plan to prepare and stage the home.

Preparation

Our client implemented our preparation recommendations including:

preparing and painting the walls in two of the bathrooms
caulking the joints around the ceiling in the landing

Staging

Once our client relocated abroad and took with them what they needed, we were left with a few furniture pieces and some accessories.

Given the very large ground floor, our strategy was to show buyers the flexibility of the spaces so we:

created two bedrooms (teenage and guest)

home office

We relocated the client's sofa from the main drawing room to the family room we created in the basement.

Our client had a very large bed in one of the bedrooms on the first floor. We relocated this to the primary and then created a bedroom on the other side of the landing with twin beds, given that if a buyer had young children, they could see the potential of having them close by, rather than on the ground floor.

Not only did we stop there! We also prepared two virtual images to show the potential of two specific spaces:

the second bedroom on the first floor is large and has the potential to be changed into two single bedrooms. This would suit a family with two younger children. We therefore used virtually split the room in two. Here's the starting point:

And this is the virtual transformation ...

the client also has a very large loft space which is accessible from the primary bedroom. This has the potential, subject to planning permission, to be changed into a larger primary suite with bedroom area, seating area, dressing room and en-suite.

And this is the virtual transformation ...

What our Client Thinks

The home was launched for sale and sold in 6 weeks, including an uplift in the agreed sale price. Our client is over the moon. Andy says:

Working with Ceri has been fantastic.

We moved abroad and needed somebody who could manage the whole process of staging. Ceri has put our minds at ease and managed everything from staging the house, to arranging maintenance as well as viewings.

We have now accepted an offer on the house.The house looks stunning after it has been staged.

Ceri really has an eye for design and details that give a house the wow factor. I would hightly recommend Ceri to anyone.

Ceri, our founder, says:

This project was a delight to work on. Given the flexible nature of the floorplan on the ground level, it was super important to create spaces that suited as many buyer profiles as possible worked.

This home is now sold so we are thrilled for our client.
