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.
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.
