Clients' Feedback...
MPG Investments LLP - Various Properties
"I had contacted a couple of ‘Styling’ companies prior to speaking to Helen. From my initial telephone conversation I knew that I had found the right person for the service MPG were looking for. Helen can only be described as friendly professional and extremely good at what she does. Her work speaks for it self. Thanks to Helen the houses that she has styled have had a sale agreed on them almost immediately. Helen has become a firm favourite with MPG, she is a pleasure to work with. If you want to sell your home, and get the best possible price, Helen’s your lady!! Thanks Helen for all your hard work"
Sarah McCloughry - 3 bed house, Paignton. Devon
"As many of your testimonials stated, you are calm, solid and very supportive. It is easy to trust you since you not only have an intuitive sense of what is needed but you also reassured me with your intelligent grasp of the situation. I know I’m dealing with a professional since you have spotted the details I missed and provide some winning solutions. And you can add that to your growing list of testimonials!"
Mr & Mrs AJ Bramwell - 5 bed property, S. Gloucestershire
"The results speak for themselves. The house looked like a feature article in an interior design magazine. It is not a small property, so we are amazed at how much was achieved in a single dayAs the client, I am absolutely delighted. Not just by your own efforts, which are truly astonishing, but by your ability to pull so many quality businesses (and people) together at such short notice. To co-ordinate and keep everyone happy, then to deliver the desired outcome as forecast and within the agreed budget. Your keen eye for developing the right features and your attention to detail throughout are invaluable."
For anyone else reading this testimonial, I cannot recommend Helen from The Property Styling Company highly enough. If you are not getting good service from your estate agent (with regard to marketing the very best features of your property) you need Helen to step in to coordinate the process and provide the necessary finesse to bring this about.”
Mr & Mrs S Henwood - 2 bed apartment, London
"Recently Helen worked on a property owned by my husband and his brother - it was looking very tired and there were quite a lot of small maintenance to be done. Helen organised everything - we did not have to travel up to London once, she arranged for all the maintenance, decorating, cleaning and staging to be done, and even had someone there when new furniture was delivered. We were very pleased when the agents came back with a rental price in excess of 10% higher than they previously had quoted before the work was undertaken.I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to increase the value of their property, or to make it more desirable for selling or letting. We would certainly use her again, and I would urge anyone else in a similar position to do the same”
Tim Matcham Garden Design – House Sale project, S. Gloucestershire
"Actually everyone needs to know that it was a privilege to work with someone as professional and calm as Helen - truly monumental task tackled with style and elegance. Well done and thank you for inviting me to be part of your team”
Sarah Howells - The Passionate PA
"I met Helen online at 4Networking and was fortunate enough for her to enlist my services. We had a good giggle as well as getting a good job done. If you haven't seen her portfolio, you should. The work she does is amazing!"
Stefan Thomas - Real Marketing
"With the property market less active than it was, Helen provides a first class service that will definitely improve the 'saleability' of your home, whatever the market or sector.
Independent of estate agents, Helen will work for you, ensuring you get the best possible return from your biggest asset"
B. Buyukcan – Property Trader
"I can’t tell you how much difference your styling is making to us! The Property in Clacton looked beautiful and we have had an offer on it in less than a week! I will send the photos over of the next job we’d like you to look at and let’s get cracking on that ASAP"
M. Powell – Realtor. Brown Harris Stevens Real Estate Specialists, New York
"As an estate agent with around 20 years experience in the UK and North America, I have seen the work of many interior designers and 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 what was a simple family house into a completely individual home with contemporary design features throughout.”
Rosie L - Estate Agent - 4 Bed House, Swansea
"Since you completed the staging and we re-marketed the property, we have had great feedback and the viewings have been much more positive. The house looks fabulous and the furnishings made a world of difference"
Calvert & Co – Independent Financial Advisors, Bath
"Clients that have used the services of The Property Styling Company have found an easier and more profitable sale is to be had….highly recommended!”
Dave Macgregor - 1st Parcel Direct Chester, Garage to Office Conversion
"Helen. Well, what can I say other than what fantastic advice and food for thought you have given me, no wonder you are within this industry! Lots of fantastic ideas for our office conversion – if you are looking for a property stylist then this lady is for you!
P. Argirov - AQS Area Manager Bromley & Bexley, 4 Bed Modern House
"I was very happy with the service you provided. The house was staged with great taste and I am certain this helped it to sell quicker. Thank you”
AJS – 2 bed Georgian Apartment, Bath
"As you know I rushed ahead and put my property on the market without doing any work to it at all! I did get some interest in the apartment in the first week but more to do with the area than the property I think. After you had spent the weekend styling and staging, the apartment looked so wonderful that I couldn’t believe it was the same place.Following your advice I got the agents to change the marketing details and re-take the photos. By the end of the second week I had received 3 offers for the full asking price (with other interested buyers queuing up!)… b6 weeks later I am about to complete. Thank you very much for your hard work, patience and expertise. I would definitely recommend your services Helen and promise not to try and sell a property without styling it first!!
Rob McCabe Director - South West Property Network, (Bristol)
"Helen is fantastic at what she does and can work wonders. A1 5 star rating”.
Mr N. Cooper – 4 bed Grade II listed Regency House, Clevedon. Bristol
"I have just finished reading your report and am impressed with the way you targeted each room and expanded on your thoughts during our meeting on Sunday. Maggie and I have already started implementing many of your ideas; particularly the bathroom. By the end of the week, it should look softer and hopefully more engaging. I am hoping that by the weekend, we will be finished and ready to take new photos. I will keep you informed of developments. Thanks again for all your advice”
Mr & Mrs J. Hyde - 3 bed Converted Chapel, Winscombe. Nr Bristol
"Thank you so much for everything. You’ve been absolute stars! Thank you so much for your help and generosity with our move. We would never have managed without you”
Mr P. A – 4 bed Modern House, Gloucester
"It looks fantastic. I really like the way you have styled the house. One of the agents had such a spark in his eyes when I showed him around. He was very hungry to be appointed to sell the property. He was fascinated by the standard of furnishing and didn’t even think it had been staged, so well done to you!”
Mr J. Bond – 6 bed Country Estate, Camarthen. South Wales
"I wanted to write to say how pleased I am with the house staging. All my friends who have been here to see the results are amazed at the transformations. You certainly achieved all the objectives. In the event, the second couple who came to view offered the asking price and are cash buyers – it all seems to be going well so far. It looks as though your styling had the desired effect!”
Mr D. Barker - 2 bed Apartment, Wimbledon. Surrey
"When it came to selling our flat we knew that some improvements would have to be made, as it looked tired and slightly old fashioned.Although this delayed us putting it on the market immediately, we are extremely pleased that we listened to your suggestions and did invest in preparing for our sale. The agent was stunned to see the interior as he had preconceived (bad) ideas based on the flat downstairs that was also for sale at the time. We were astonished to find that your work had added over £40,000 to the market value. We sold in the first week and obviously would highly recommend that anyone selling their property would call you in before putting their place on the market!”
Ms C. Moss – Top floor refurbishment 3 bed cottage, Bath
"Its fantastic, I can’t believe this bathroom is actually in our house! We are so thrilled with it that we are spending all our time in there. We will now have to decorate some of the other rooms to bring them up to the same standard….it is much more than we hoped for and can’t thank you enough!”
Ms. K. Hale 1990's - 3 Bedroom Town House, Bradford on Avon. Wilts
"Wow! I almost don't want to move...I really love what you have done to the bedroom Helen, I want it to look EXACTLY like that in my new home."
Miss F. Berry – 2 bed Period Cottage, Littleton Drew. Wiltshire
"I can't thank you enough Helen, for all your help - after 8 long months on the market we were beginning to give up but we did all the work you advised and after the house had been back on the market for just 2 weeks, it sold to the first viewers!! You really given us invaluable advice and we will certainly be recommending your services!"
Ms. Joanne S - 2 bed Apartment, Wimbledon
"We had made a comfortable profit letting out our apartment for holiday lets and business rents but we were amazed at the difference in rental we were able to ask (especially during Wimbledon fortnight!) after we had used your services. Many thanks for working so quickly – will be in touch when we consider our next project’
Mr & Mrs S. Benson - 4 bed Executive home, Chippenham. Wilts
"Thank you for your advice on getting our home ready for the rental market. The move to Italy was proving to be very stressful and the thought of having to find a tenant for the house quite overwhelming. However, we were very grateful for your help and after making a few simple changes as you suggested, we have now let the property. In fact our tenants were so impressed that they actually wanted to sign up for 2 years not just one!!”
Mrs R. - 5 Bed Modern Home, Moreton in Marsh. Glocestershire.
"Dear Helen, I have been meaning to email you for a few days! Our house has actually sold, in the end we had 3 people interested in it. We’re due to complete on 24th July and we’re flying out to Spain on 2nd August. All very exciting! Thanks for your help and advice”
Mr & Mrs G - 4 bed Modern House, Trowbridge. Wiltshire
“Hi Helen, Many thanks for the good advice, I have today removed the kitchen carpet and it looks so much better….. Pans etc have been removed and if I get a chance I will take a picture and email it to you. Thanks again” Update - “Hi Helen House sold last week just waiting for exchange!”
Mrs M – 5 bed Executive Home, Portishead. Bristol
"Helen Silver was very professional and friendly. She came up with many good ideas for my lounge which I had not thought of. I have received a mood board which looks very good, and I'm currently in the process of sourcing furniture, curtains etc”
Mr. A Large - 4 bed Home, Clevedon. Bristol
"Very small points (such as placement of furniture) made a huge difference, and didn't cost anything. Some things we had intended to do just for sale, such as replace a number of worn carpets, were deemed unnecessary. This actually saved us a lot of money!"
Mr S. Curtis - 3 bed Modern Town House, Bradford On Avon, Wiltshire
"Helen was extremely helpful. She quickly came up with solutions to our situation. At all times she was pleasant, polite and professional. The house looked absolutely stunning when she'd finished it."
Dr J. Smith - 4 Bedroom Modern Bungalow, Kilmersdon. Somerset
"Very good value, lots of ideas and tips we were just not thinking of”
Mr and Mrs Bubear - 3 bed 1930’s House, Neath West. Glamorgan
"Thanks for your time. I found the consultation very informative. Nice to have an honest opinion and other ideas.”
Dr Webster – 3 story cottage (1700’s), Wellow. Nr Bath
"I thought I would write and personally thank you for the excellent advice you gave us in improving our cottage for eventual resale. We feel that you gave us enough advice to make a substantial difference to the appearance of the cottage. This will hopefully encourage a buyer when the property is marketed in the spring.”
Mrs B. Probert - 4 Bedroom Bungalow, Bristol
"Hopefully the sale will go through smoothly for what was a low outlay albeit that Steve had to put the time in to do the decorating! Many thanks for your help, we very much appreciated your report. I would certainly use your services again if ever in a similar position but would call you in much earlier in the process.With kind regards”
Mrs D. - 3 bed house, Longwell Green. Bristol
"Thank you so much for such a prompt response. You will be pleased to know ‘de-cluttering’ has started in earnest. I shall certainly let Radio Bristol know how successful and pleased I was with your report and visit. Again many thanks.”
