With the financial economy in such a precarious position, mortgage rates rising and house prices at an all-time high, many first-time buyers are investing their money into a “Fixer Upper” Home. Not many couples can afford to purchase a property that’s “Move in Ready” so are having to be prepared to roll up their sleeves and get stuck into transforming a run down, unloved house into a beautiful new Home. After the flooring has been replaced the next big project to complete would probably be the kitchen, as long as the old cabinets are sturdy enough then a total Kitchen Refurb can be completed. A cost-effective and quick solution to replacing a worn out, much used kitchen that is no longer fit for purpose.
Without having to remove the cabinets will save replacing all the flooring, and exchanging broken handles, chipped counter-tops and other worn-out accessories will make a massive difference to the overall aesthetic appeal and character of your new kitchen. The money you save by having a complete Kitchen Refurb rather than replacing absolutely everything will enable you to start your next piece of the “Doer Upper” puzzle.
The bathroom and bedrooms are logically next to be tackled and there are many ways to save money along the way. There are plenty of second-hand furniture stores or you can ask relatives and friends if they have anything you can have for now until your financial situation is more secure.
