Well-designed and equipped kitchens can significantly boost property values, according to one expert. Alexi Sugden, founder of Egerton Designs, says kitchens are the biggest single investment in any property refurbishment, ranging in cost from around 3,000 from a high street retailer to as much as 100,000 for a bespoke project. A well-designed kitchen will greatly add value to your home so that when you come to move, the kitchen will always influence buyers and increase the speed of offers. A well-designed kitchen is worth the time, money and investment. Before embarking on a kitchen renovation project, property owners need to consider how they can best make use of the space available. Homeowners should also make sure they include all the basics. All kitchens should have kitchen cupboards, a good quality sink and tap, work surfaces and appliances, such as a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. If any of these things are not included, it will have a detrimental effect on the propertys value. Also, always tailor the kitchen design price to the property value for maximum benefit.
