How renovating kitchen improves home value
The kitchen is the heart of every home, it’s the place the family meets to eat and share their daily stories. The place where lifelong bonds will be made over Mum’s average Spaghetti Bolognese, it’s at this battlefront that only the strongest of bonds are forged. And as such it is this part of your home that is the most valuable not only to your family but it can also unlock unforeseen value if you are contemplating moving to greener pastures. Most Real Estate agents will agree that a complete kitchen makeover or an upgrade will yield the best results when it comes to sale time.
Why the kitchen?
Trends have changed so much over the years
and the way we use our kitchen is probably top of the list. Open plan living
has become the norm and an outdated kitchen will be the first thing to tun
people off when it comes to buying a property. It’s not cheap to renovate to
replace your kitchen but the rewards are great. It is worth the investment
before sale rather than relying on a buyer with some vision or extra in their
budget to take on the project after buying. The team at Tweed Kitchen can help
you with any questions you have about your kitchen renovations on Gold Coast.
