  • It feels like once you've agreed to spend £20-25k that spending £25-30k and for it to enhance the total house value... it's just a no-brainer.

    I'd be careful of this type of reasoning. Realistically, unless the kitchen is newly done then a lot of the premium options add little value in a lot of buyers' eyes. Anything that lasts is a bonus but for things like kitchen appliances you generally have the attitude that you've no idea of their history and they may well pack up shortly after purchase.

  • Indeed. My mate has an amazing story about an friend/acquaintance of his getting a brand new howden's kitchen for about 100 notes on gumtree provided he removed it himself. It invloved a lost passport, a walk to screwfix to buy power tools for 8pm, his friend insisting they stop at the pub on the way back and have a pint and then work finally beginning at 10.30pm. I'll not do it justice, but it gets progressively ridiculous and was very good. Anways #csb.

  • The buyer may also hate green units with quartz worktops and want to rip the whole thing out.

    They have no taste!

  • Indeed. I reckon in about 60% of properties that we've seen my girlfriend has been insistent that the perfectly functional kitchen would have to go straight away.
