It'll have a brand new IKEA kitchen. This is not a 6 figure house
It's a two bedroom, terrace with space out back and to the front. No driveway.
I am in no illusion that spaffing cash is any worthwhile investment. It's more getting rid of shit kitchen and bathroom, horrible wallpaper and artex. Repaint and sell.
I'm in your camp that it doesn't really matter but kinda looking for comfermation.
Mr_Sworld-
Just to re-enforced what @aggi says, in my experience it's much easier to get cheap built in stuff that looks good than it is with standalone. I find that with standalone you have the square white box type things that are cheap and haven't changed much design-wise since they were introduced in the 50s, then there's a gap, then range style units that have premium price tags. With built ins there are companies like beko and zanussi who make decent products that look good and do the job.

Ah, ok - didn't really understand your question then.
I guess you want to think carefully about buyers' expectations of that kind of house. If you are asking proper money for it well beyond what you paid then I'd absolutely fit built in oven units in an economic but well designed kitchen. Not sure what kind of cost this would add to your renovation but I would imagine seeing a basic freestanding cooker will put potential buyers off. Probably wouldn't do built in fridge / freezer but make sure there's an obvious and sensible place for a free stander.
Comedy moment the other day checking out the modern kitchen that owners had put in a very spendy semi and realising that the only place you could put a full height or double fridge freezer was in the hallway under the stairs. A family home that won't take a proper sized fridge / freezer and it's 2200 sq ft! And the money they'd have wanted for it would make it the most expensive place on the street. Le sigh.

It's not really possible to answer this, imo.
In general, house pricing doesn't come down to "does it have a a free standing cooker or built in?"
Maybe, "does it have a recent, high quality kitchen?" will put on a few k but even then, it's surprising how many of the previous owners "value adding" additions end up in a skip in the first week.
