Hi All,
I have this house open for inspection, but alot of viewers are complaining the kitchen is dated.
So I want to renovate the kitchen for two main reasons:
1. Enhance appeal to tenants
2. Re-valuation to pull out equity
My budget is loosely $10k including labour.
I am using tradies etc with my PMs help as i am interstate
So far I've been recommended to replace the Benchtops, Doors and Paneling with Caesar stone bench tops and melamine doors and panels with PVC
edges.
$6800 including labour.
The stove is fine.
However the oven, rangehood, and dishwasher are old white style.
Also the kitchen sink is a single, whereas double is more normal these days.
How should I spend the rest of my budget to get the most benefit?
I'm concerned about throwing out the appliances that are in good working order when I could just wait for them to die and replace them at that stage.
Is it enough to do benchtops, paneling and doors?
Will I get a valuation increase from just that?
Note I have also replaced the fence and done a massive yard cleanup, as well as a bunch of other maintenance, the place was a bit of a mess at settlement..
