I reckon you're nuts if you're spending over £20k on a kitchen!
We don't need our kitchen redoing, and if we were in the market it'd be a million miles from those numbers, but TBH I'm surprised by all the surprise. I remember a family friend spending £40k in the early 'oos.
If anything it sounds like things have plateaued. I guess lots of the things they had then are cheaper and more standard - island cookers with cooker level extractor, wine fridge, etc.
Also the feeling I'm getting from a lot of peoples comments is that they've spent £3k-5k redecorating kitchens and see that as good value. As opposed to full on building works including new flooring, possible walls moving, etc. which is a different kettle of fish.

Just added ours up properly for the first time which was painful but it was about £2k south of that and we spent £3k on the copper work surfaces/splashbacks and £1k on an extractor. Having an architect design it undoubtedly added to the cost too. I plan to spend less next time if at all possible.
