A new kitchen will make your property more appealing to buyers

A new kitchen will make your property more appealing to buyers and can add as much as 4% to its value, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Always keep expense in proportion to the size of your property. For example, there’s little chance of adding value or even recouping costs if you add a bespoke £25,000 kitchen to a £170,000 semi.
