If you choose well on the pre-installed kitchen you ’ ll get a significantly better quality kitchen with all the extras for a fraction of what it would cost if you were to buy new .
high-end designer kitchen for a fraction of the RRP , all whilst redirecting potential carbon waste .
James Thomas , Property Developer agrees . He explains , ‘ Buying preowned kitchens for our developments is a ‘ win win ’ situation . If you ’ ve got the skills and knowledge to design kitchen spaces and access to a decent joiner then definitely consider it as an option . If you choose well on the pre-installed kitchen you ’ ll get a significantly better quality kitchen with all the extras for a fraction of what it would cost if you were to buy new . Compare buying a pre-installed kitchen with the motor industry – with ex-demo cars you usually get low mileage with all the added extras for a much lower price than the list price , and its exactly the same with ex-demo kitchens . Another increasingly important reason and why in many ways we go pre-installed with our developments is the overall impact on the environment . It ’ s important to us to reduce our waste on our builds , and we can do this and reduce our carbon footprint by taking the opportunity to sell and buy used and ex-display kitchens ’.
Mirroring a circular economy model , the buy / sell market for high end pre-installed designer kitchens is growing rapidly . The opportunity to reduce both costs and the environmental impact of buying a new kitchen can work in two ways : Either by selling an existing pre-installed kitchen ( s ) from your next developments instead of spending money to remove and skip them . Or , by buying an approved-used pre-installed kitchen for your next project . Ideally , using both ways means financial savings in both directions .
It ’ s a savvy way to shop . The circular approach will cut the costs of removing and disposing if there is an existing kitchen , and / or allow the purchase a
Sustainability is , by definition , all about balance . While cost will always remain the key driver for consumers , this opportunity to make a more ethical choice without compromising on quality , design and function , is not to be missed .
