3 important things to consider when looking at a kitchen for sale
Every kitchen looks great in the showroom. So, how can you tell which is the best kitchen for sale?
Quality of a kitchen for sale
Kitchens, like cars, vary in quality. A low-quality kitchen will soon start looking tired, with the backs of the units starting to bow and the doors peeling. It’ll soon need replacing, whereas a high-quality kitchen will still be in as good shape after ten years as the day it was fitted.
So what should you look for in a kitchen for sale? One vital thing to ask is what the door material is. If the door is a low quality wrapped type, it won’t be long before it peels. In contrast, if the door is the high quality painted & lacquered type, it will never peel.
Similarly, low-quality kitchen units will be constructed from cheap, low density chipboard. The problem with low density chipboard is it bows under the weight of the worktops. High-quality units, on the other hand, will be constructed from high density chipboard that will never bow under the weight of the worktops.
The true price of a kitchen for sale
It’s important to look at the bottom-line price of a kitchen for sale, rather than focusing on the discount. Chains, like Wickes, Wren and Magnet, will often offer 50% off, but that’s nothing more than 50% off a price that’s been artificially inflated. This tactic, known as price anchoring, is designed to mislead you into thinking you’re getting a bargain & is also used by the sofa chains.
Similarly, the discount a builder tells you that’s available at a trade supplier like Howdens will start from a massively inflated price. A good showroom will offer its best price without tricks.
Who’s going to fit your kitchen for sale?
So, you’ve picked a kitchen for sale, and now it needs to be fitted. The big chains charge a fortune, so many people use a builder, who’ll quote about half the price. The problem is that a builder might do an adequate job, but they’ll never do a great job.
If you know the right local showrooms to visit, you can buy a kitchens that costs similar to the chains & trade only suppliers, but is much higher quality & will last longer. Plus, they’ll usually quote similar to what a builder quotes for fitting but usually do a much better job.
