We moved in our house last summer. The house was built in 2017 and whilst there isn't anything hugely wrong with the kitchen, it's bottom of the line Symphony stuff and has a really cheap worktop and some of the cupboards are poorly designed. We are also not a fan of the colour - glossy grey! We'd both love a new kitchen and we can afford to have it done. We'd likely have the hallway and kitchen flooring replaced too as again, it's grey (although a dark grey) and it shows up the smallest bit of dirt. The original dishwasher has already been replaced and we've been looking at new ovens as well as a new hob. Then we got thinking before we do that, let's get some kitchen quotes done.
The main problem being that we are planning to move to a new house in 3-5 years time. We love the house, but there are a few things we are not keen on and it's not something that can be fixed easily (we want a double garage, bigger garden, and a proper utility for winter dog cleaning after walks).
The house is currently worth ~£430k and whilst new kitchens do add value, I don't think we'd get anywhere near back what we put in. The flip side is that it's the kitchen where we spend most of our time.
Thoughts? Heart says get a new kitchen, you only live once etc, we live here so enjoy iy and things change which mean we may not end up moving. Such as the housing market crashing etc. My head says don't be stupid, it's throwing money away as it isn't going to add that much value.
