Modernising kitchens and bathrooms before sale has to be one of the most frustrating waste of money/resources.
We've been turned off a few places with brand new, horribly boring and impractical looking kitchens that we simply wouldn't buy the place knowing how much we would want to replace it but would feel too guilty to actually do it

Surely the job is simply to do 'good enough' and not make any design clangers, like forgetting to allocate space for a full height fridge freezer.

Couldn't agree more. Some of the places I've viewed have what I wouldn't want in a kitchen what so ever yet you're compelled to pay more for.
I'm torn whether to go cheaper but get a renovation place.

place I'm trying to buy basically doesn't have a kitchen (it was about to be renovated by current owners). Very appealing that there isn't much to rip out, and what is there is old and knackered so doesn't feel wasteful. In some ways we're probably subconsciously paying more for such a sorry state of a kitchen.
The brochure had some guff on about being able to put your own stamp on it - but in a way it's true.

I tried to explain this to my mother when she was selling her London house and moving to Scotland. Obviously, mothers know best.
Brand new Ikea kitchen was in a skip outside the house the week after the sale went through.
