Case Studies

Paignton, Devon

Charming and full of character, this 3 bedroom former police house was purchased by an investor client. Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, the house was initially valued at much less than the mortgage arranged and a lot less than our client had intended to resell it for!

Although the bedrooms were of generous size and the house had lots of rooms downstairs, at first glance the living accommodation looked fairly small and without furniture it was difficult for viewers to ‘visualise’ how the property could look and how it could be lived in.

We arranged a full ‘show-home package’ of furniture and accessories for the house, completed a couple of small redecorating jobs and advised on the marketing and re-launching of the property onto the open market, via an open day.

Our client was delighted (and so were we!) that in this time of the dreaded ‘credit crunch’ the house was very well received and resulted in 3 interested parties all offering on the house….and the final figure was £45,000 over the highest valuation!

Shepherd's Bush

A ‘compact and bijou’ 1 bed apartment in a central location, ideal for those working in the city….so what was preventing the sale?? The apartment had been on the market for a good few weeks before we became involved and the agents were hard pushed to get anyone interested in it. The photos were drab and boring; it wasn’t furnished and looked very small. It was hard to imagine just how the property could be styled.

We came up with a simple rental package of furniture and accessories, styled the apartment to include an eating and relaxing area but kept to the modern minimalist look dictated by the space. New photos and details were prepared by the agent and…19 viewings were booked in the first week after we had completed the styling. It sold for the asking price very soon after!

M. Powell - Realtor NY
"As an estate agent with over 20 yrs expericence in the Uk & North America, I have seen the work of many Interior Designers & Home Stagers. None have surpassed the results of Helen Silver who has a unique talent for identifying the needs of her clients and exceeding expectations, whilst delivering on time and in budget. I have first hand experience of her expertise resulting in a modest 3 bedroom semi, selling to the 2nd viewer for over 15% more than an identical neighbour. Furthermore on another project, her work with an architect transformed a simple family house into a completely individual home with contemporary design features throughout"
