How Can You Add Value to Your House with a New Kitchen?

The kitchen is one of the most important spaces in any home—not only for cooking, but also for spending quality time with your loved ones. Whether it’s an open-plan kitchen for family gatherings or a casual spot for the kids to do homework, a well-designed kitchen can truly elevate the feel of your home.

When it comes to selling a property, first impressions are crucial. A modern, clean, and well-maintained kitchen can significantly influence a buyer’s decision, making it an essential space in the home for both functionality and aesthetics.

In this article, we’ll explore how investing in a new kitchen can add significant value to your property.

How Much Value Does a New Kitchen Add?

The value added by a new kitchen depends on factors like the current condition of your kitchen and the cost of the upgrade. A beautifully designed, contemporary kitchen can make a huge difference, especially for prospective buyers who may not want to deal with the hassle of kitchen renovation.

Experts at PGK Ltd suggest that a brand-new, well-designed kitchen can increase your property value by 10-15%. When buyers see that they don’t need to worry about renovating the kitchen themselves, it could be the deciding factor in choosing your property over others.

How Much Should You Spend on a New Kitchen?

It’s important not to overspend when updating your kitchen. With careful planning and professional advice, you can achieve a stylish, functional kitchen without breaking the bank.

For older, outdated kitchens, opting for a complete replacement with a premium German or English kitchen from PGK Ltd can be a game-changer. For well-maintained kitchens, you might only need minor updates or replacements to improve the space’s appeal.

What Experts Recommend?

The amount you invest in your kitchen should be proportional to your home’s value. For instance, if your property is valued at £50,000 to £70,000, investing £20,000 in a new kitchen may not provide the return on investment (ROI) you’re hoping for.

Experts generally suggest spending between 8-10% of your home’s value on a kitchen upgrade or renovation. While installing a new kitchen may seem like a significant investment, the potential return—up to a 15% increase in property value—makes it well worth considering.
