Pricing & Investment
Clear, tailored pricing based on your property — with a focus on delivering real value, not unnecessary work.
Preparing a home for sale can involve a wide range of work — from simple clearing and cleaning through to decorating, repairs, and carefully chosen improvements.
Every property is different, and so is every seller’s situation.
For that reason, we don’t offer fixed prices online. Instead, we provide a tailored quotation based on your home, your timeline, and the level of preparation required.
This ensures you only pay for work that will genuinely help present your property at its best.
How Pricing Works
Following your consultation, we create a clear and practical plan tailored to your property.
Your quotation will include:
- A recommended preparation plan
- A clear breakdown of the work involved
- An estimated project timeline
- A full cost outline with no hidden extras
- Optional improvements to consider
You remain in control — you can choose to proceed with as much or as little of the work as you wish.
Typical Levels of Preparation
Essential Preparation
For homes already in good condition that need clearing, cleaning, and minor repairs before going to market.
Full Presentation Preparation
For homes that would benefit from decorating, deeper cleaning, and improvements to enhance buyer appeal.
Full Market Optimisation
A more comprehensive approach, including decorating, garden improvements, and selected upgrades to key areas.
Bespoke Preparation
For properties requiring a fully tailored plan or more extensive improvements.
Typical Investment Ranges
While every project is different, most fall within the following guide ranges:
Level of Preparation Typical Range
Essential preparation £2,000 – £5,000
Full presentation preparation £5,000 – £15,000
Full market optimisation £15,000 – £40,000+
These figures are intended as a general guide only. A tailored quotation will be provided following your consultation.
Most clients find that even modest preparation can make a meaningful difference to buyer interest and final sale price.
An Investment, Not Just a Cost
Preparing a home for sale isn’t just about how it looks — it directly affects how buyers perceive its value.
Small improvements in presentation, condition, and overall impression can often:
- Attract more interest from buyers
- Help a property sell more quickly
- Reduce the likelihood of price reductions
- Support a stronger final sale price
For example:
A property listed at £450,000
Selling for just 3% less due to presentation = £13,500 difference
In many cases, the cost of preparation is significantly less than the potential difference in achieved sale price.
Our focus is always on practical, sensible improvements that genuinely help — not unnecessary work.
01
Payment Options
Staged Payments
Most projects are delivered using a staged payment structure.
An initial deposit is taken to cover materials, contractor booking, and project scheduling, with the remaining balance paid in agreed stages as work progresses and upon completion.
This approach allows work to begin promptly while ensuring everything is organised and managed efficiently.
02
Pay on Completion
For some projects, the balance can be settled once all agreed work has been completed.
This will depend on the scale and scope of the project and will be agreed in advance.
03
Pay on Sale (Partial Deferred Payment)
In certain cases, we can offer a portion of the project cost to be deferred until your property sale completes.
This can help reduce upfront costs while still allowing your home to be fully prepared for the market.
The proportion deferred will depend on the project and will be discussed during your consultation.
(Subject to eligibility and agreed terms.)
