  • If I look at a house that has a cheap kitchen that I don't like, I consider that a negative. I spend so much time there that I want it how I want it so would likely make changes whatever. I'd assume the owners are charging a few extra bob for the pleasure and I feel bad about gutting a new perfectly serviceable kitchen.

  • Yup. I'd have thought the dumb fridge/freezer issue above would make it quite hard to shift the place at the spendy asking as the rest of the kitchen could be new and the money they are asking is way beyond 'new owner needs to spend £100k fixing the ground floor layout' money.

    (you couldn't just fix the kitchen, you'd have to fix the rest of the issues with the ground floor at the same time or you'd have to ask yourself serious questions on why you can buy a £1m+ house but not afford to put it right)

    I tried to explain this to my mother when she was selling her London house and moving to Scotland. Obviously, mothers know best.
