First impressions count—especially in the commercial property world. If you're listing a commercial property to let in Cambridge, staging it properly can drastically improve visibility, increase viewing-to-letting ratios, and help secure higher-value tenants.

Here’s how to prepare your space to make the right impact from day one.


Declutter and Depersonalise the Space

Start with a blank canvas. Clear out:

  • Personalised decor from past tenants

  • Old marketing signage or branded items

  • Unused furniture or outdated fittings

Neutral spaces help prospective tenants envision how their own business will fit into the unit.


Maximise Light and Layout

A bright, open space always performs better:

  • Remove dark window coverings and clean all glass

  • Use mirrors or white walls to bounce light

  • Open up layouts where possible—especially in office or wellness spaces

Light sells. So does spaciousness.


Stage by Use Case

Think about your ideal tenant—and stage accordingly:

  • Office tenants: Desks, meeting table, reception nook

  • Retail tenants: Display shelving, counters, customer flow zones

  • Wellness or studio use: Open floor area, mirrors, calm palette

The goal is to suggest—not prescribe—how the space could function.


Highlight Practical Amenities

Even functional features should be showcased:

  • Parking spaces and secure bike storage

  • High-speed internet access

  • Kitchenette or staff break areas

  • Meeting rooms or flexible zones

  • Accessibility (step-free access, lifts, etc.)

Tenants want to visualise how their teams and clients will use the space.


Invest in Professional Photography

Your listing’s visual impact matters more than ever. Professional photos should:

  • Capture clean, well-lit rooms

  • Emphasise layout flow

  • Highlight feature areas (windows, parking, entrances)

At Cambridge Stays, we include photography as part of every listing strategy.
