  • 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.

    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.

    Ouch - oversight there!
