Turn Lookers into Buyers: Why 20 minutes is all it takes to win over a buyer
PROJECTSWhether you’re selling a one-bed flat in Battersea or launching a new-build in Knightsbridge, one thing’s certain: buyers don’t wait around. In today’s fast-moving market, homes need to impress instantly, and that’s exactly where professional staging comes in.
Imagine pouring your heart into a property, whether developing, listing, or living in it - only to have buyers make up their minds in under 20 minutes.
Sounds outrageous? It’s not.
A 2024 study by Zoopla and Mortar Research found that 1 in 5 homebuyers spend less than 20 minutes viewing a property before deciding to make an offer. Even more striking, buyers are far more influenced by what they see: like furniture, layout, and lighting, than by what they can’t, such as the boiler system or insulation.
That’s exactly why home staging works. At BoxNine7, we don’t just furnish homes, we strategically stage them to sell.
Staging That Speeds Up Sale
In a competitive market, speed matters. And when it comes to selling property, staging is one of the most effective ways to accelerate results. At BoxNine7, we’ve seen first-hand how the right design can turn interest into action, and the numbers back it up:

Home staging helps buyers picture themselves living there. It removes the guesswork and creates an emotional connection. In today’s market, that connection translates directly into quicker, stronger offers.

Every property has potential, but it’s the right presentation that unlocks it. Our Home Staging service bridges the gap between bricks and mortar and emotional connection.
For estate agents, it's about speed and standout. A well-staged property doesn’t just look better in listings, it attracts more qualified viewings, and helps buyers connect faster, making your job easier and your listings stronger.
For developers, it's an investment that pays off. Instead of showcasing an empty shell, you’re presenting a lifestyle. That difference not only drives sales but also strengthens your brand as design-led and detail-focused.
