What does a base rate cut mean for home sellers – and how can staging help?

The impact on buyers

A cut to the base rate typically means that borrowing becomes a little more affordable. Mortgage rates may fall, monthly repayments become more manageable and buyers who were previously sitting on the fence may now feel more confident to make a move.

In short: a base rate cut usually gives the housing market a bit of a boost. More buyers enter the market, and demand increases; which is great news if you're selling.

The opportunity for sellers

But even in a more active market, the properties that sell fastest and for top offers are the ones that stand out from the crowd.

Buyers may be more willing to view and buy; but they’re still looking for homes that make an impact. With the increased competition, they’ll continue to scroll quickly through listings, making snap decisions based on the first few photos they see.

That’s where home staging makes all the difference.

How staging works with a rate cut

At Harrison Home Staging, we specialise in transforming properties into beautiful, welcoming spaces that buyers fall in love with at first sight. Whether it’s a vacant home, a tenanted buy-to-let, or a family property, we style each space with purpose – to maximise appeal, showcase lifestyle potential, and create emotional connection.

With more buyers in the market following a rate cut, staging gives sellers the competitive edge... helping them attract more viewings, receive stronger offers and avoid unnecessary price drops.

A hands-free, high-impact solution

Our service is completely hands-off for sellers; we take care of everything from furniture sourcing and installation, to styling and removal. Whether you're working with a small apartment or a spacious family home, our staging is always tailored to the space, the market, and the target buyer.

Thinking of selling in the months ahead? Now’s the time to act.
