Here at the kitchen store, Abbeydale road, Sheffield we help many of our customers out with home improvements. We get a lot of property developers who buy a house as a project to improve and sell on for a profit.
The best ways to do this is to add on living space. Make the existing space more usable, improve the bathrooms and kitchen. We have many ideas just for the kitchen on our website RationalGB. We help and advice many of these developers in all aspects of property developments. One other important area that developers seem to miss a trick, is the front of the house or the first impression a potential buyer sees, and the garden.
Many many people make mistakes by not paying any attention to the garden, especially if it is a family home. As I said at the start, more living space means more money people are willing to spend. Small extensions or clever extensions do not cost a lot of money. However you do need to do your home work. Is what you are going to spend going to get you the return.
With regards to the kitchen, many developers get wide eyed at our Atmos range. Or the Glass Logic Rational Kitchen . They also want the granite or Corian worktops. But mostly they want to spend a fortune on the kitchen and bathrooms, money that will not get back. We try to steer them in the direction of a Neos kitchen, but not in the glass finish, maybe the urban or a high gloss. The most popular decision seems to be the Arte Kitchen from Rational.
Adding a downstairs toilet gets you lots of money back on your investment, and try to sneak an extra showroom in or maybe an en-suit. Some of the more glamorous projects we have been involved in have been when many small rooms have been knocked into one large living space or combined living. Then we can really go to town and use the stunning straight lines available from the Rational Kitchen Range.
All of our design work is carried out on our bespoke design software. We produce fantastic designs and they are presented in a virtual 3d model of the building in which the kitchen is going to be installed. We print out full photographic images of what the kitchen is going to look like. This really helps the developer to understand just what he is going to achieve.
Our software is that advanced that in some cases, when you compare the computer generated 3d image with a photograph of the finished kitchen, the computer image looks better. I have produced hundreds of designs for clients, here are some examples Rational Atmos and carried out hundreds of projects from my kitchen showroom, The Kitchen Store, Abbeydale Road, Sheffield and I look forward to doing hundreds more. If you require any help or information please get in touch via my website, there is a link above and a link below, I hope.. kind regards Eddie Grant.
