Why tackle maintenance issues before selling your property?
A pre-sale makeover is a strategic way to prepare your property for the market and maximise its value. Whether you're a homeowner looking to achieve the best possible sale price, or a developer preparing a show home, we create a tailored plan that focuses on the right upgrades, repairs, and styling—aligned to your timeline and budget. With our expert eye for detail and design, we’ll ensure your property is presented at its very best, attracting serious buyers and helping you sell faster—and at a higher price.
What We Provide:
1. Initial Consultation & Property Assessment
We begin with a detailed walkthrough of your property—inside and out—identifying any issues that could affect first impressions or saleability. From outdated décor and layout inefficiencies to minor repairs and cosmetic improvements, we assess everything through a buyer’s lens.
2. Tailored Plan & Budget
Using our assessment, we create a bespoke action plan outlining the improvements that will make the biggest impact. From decorating and light refurbishments to small fixes and layout changes, we prioritise what will boost appeal and return on investment—always working to your budget and desired timeframe.
3. Repairs, Updates & Minor Refurbishments
Our team oversees essential works such as repairing flooring, addressing wear and tear, updating fixtures, or refreshing walls and woodwork. These targeted updates instantly lift your property's perceived value and reduce buyer objections.
4. Deep Cleaning & Presentation Prep
Before styling begins, your property is professionally cleaned from top to bottom. This includes carpets, floors, windows, kitchens and bathrooms—ensuring it feels fresh, well-maintained, and move-in ready.
5. Home Staging & Styling
Finally, we stage the property using carefully curated furniture, soft furnishings, and accessories that complement the space and highlight its best features. Our styling creates an emotional connection for potential buyers, helping them envision themselves living there—and encouraging stronger offers.
The Result?
A beautifully presented, market-ready home that stands out from the competition. With our Pre-Sale Makeover & Staging Service, you’ll avoid unnecessary price negotiations and attract serious buyers willing to pay a premium.

Client Review
"Alx Gunn Interiors transformed our Victorian-era terraced house in Brighton from a somewhat dated home that initially struggled to attract buyers into a dazzling, modern living space. Alx's bespoke approach and keen eye for detail helped us secure an offer at asking price the first weekend it went on the market. Despite initial reservations about being abroad (owing to a prior commitment) whilst the work went ahead, Alx coordinated everything seamlessly in our absence. Her trusted team managed all aspects of our project, including contents storage, renovation, and staging, with professionalism and flair. Her collaboration with an excellent local estate agent was key to our swift sale. We highly recommend Alx Gunn Interiors to anyone looking to maximise their property's potential in the competitive UK market. Alx's service was not only delivered on schedule, but also within budget, resulting in a stunning transformation that exceeded our expectations." Review by P.

Client Review
"Alx did a turnkey renovation and staging for me of a house I was selling just outside Brighton. The design suggestions were very effective and the renovation subcontractor was very efficient. The staging with furniture really created the "wow" factor. The house went under offer in two weeks, at slightly more than the asking price. The increase in value from her involvement undoubtedly exceeded the cost of works. Review by P.H - Saltdean, Brighton
