A newspaper has commented on the importance of a kitchen when selling a home.The Aberdeen Press and Journal has said kitchens, along with bathrooms, require professional attention to get the wow factor homebuyers are looking for.Having a well laid-out, smart kitchen can make a real difference to the quality of home life, especially if you have a passion for cooking, the newspaper said. Replacing worktops and cupboard door handles are recommended, but for major refurbishment projects, creating a streamlined look with integrated appliances can make a statement. Installing a waste compactor within a sink unit with modern taps and a stylish sink could bring viewers back for a second viewing. Modern appliances like the Abode Hand Spray Rinse Tap, at 180 mm and available in chrome or brushed-finish stainless steel, could also see buyers knocking. Homeowners may also be advised to protect their new worktops and sinks with accessories such as Carron Phoenixs stainless steel Trivet ZX.
