HOW MUCH VALUE DOES A NEW KITCHEN ADD TO YOUR HOME?
Ever heard the saying ‘a kitchen is for investment, not just enjoyment’?
Chances are you’re not since we made it up just now, but hopefully, the point is illustrated.
You see, so often, people see kitchens as a significant cost, but the truth is that they’re also an investment in your home.
Do your brand-new kitchen right, and you’ll likely add value to your house, making it more attractive to new buyers.
With the price of homes still extremely high (despite the recent downturn), many people plough pretty much all their available capital into the home they want without much left over.
Consequently, a readymade kitchen that’s right for them could well be a dealbreaker when choosing their next home.
As a result, it makes sense to invest in the right kitchen for you since it’s likely to be an important part of the sales proposition should you want to sell up anytime in the coming years.
With that in mind, here are the three kitchen features that add the most resale value – all well worth considering for your new kitchen:
Kitchen upgrades that increase home value
Kitchen upgrades improve your kitchen and home's overall look and functionality and increase its value. Whether you are looking to make minor changes from small to big appliances, kitchen furniture, or complete remodeling, it is essential to consider what upgrades will give you the most return on your investment. Explore some of the top kitchen upgrades that can add value to your home and help you make informed decisions about your kitchen renovation project.
#1 Spacious storage units
No one wants clutter on the worktop anymore, so make sure there are plenty of storage solutions.
#2 Fitted appliances
By having fitted appliances, a prospective buyer can see tangible value in the kitchen right away, so consider having your oven, dishwasher and cooker fitted, as well as your fridge and freezer.
#3 A great worktop
A worktop is often one of the biggest expenses of any kitchen project, but it’s worth getting right as it’ll help you sell later down the line. They play an essential part in the functionality and aesthetics of your kitchen. They also serve as a durable and practical space for food preparation, cooking, and entertaining, while contributing to the overall design of your kitchen.
