How much can a full kitchen renovation increase the value of a home in Buckinghamshire?

• Industry rule of thumb: UK kitchen specialists often recommend investing around 5–15% of your home's value in a new kitchen, which broadly aligns with typical value uplift at resale.
• Reported uplift: Various UK sources suggest a new kitchen can add roughly 5–10% to a home's value when well designed and in keeping with the property.
• Local price point: In Buckinghamshire, where typical house values are above the UK average, even a mid‑range uplift percentage can mean a £25k–£50k difference in asking price on suitable homes.
• Not guaranteed: Poorly planned or over‑specified kitchens can fail to recoup their cost, especially if they don't suit the property or local market.
• Biggest wins: Thoughtful layouts, quality cabinetry, integrated appliances and timeless finishes usually resonate best with buyers.

Most buyers treat the kitchen as the heart of the home, so a tired or awkward space can hold a property back. Independent research from kitchen and property experts frequently quotes uplift ranges of around five to ten per cent when a new kitchen is installed to a good standard and priced sensibly in the context of the whole house.

At Ridgeway Interiors, we handle everything in‑house — from building work to the final install — which helps keep designs coherent and build quality high. That consistency is what buyers notice on viewing day, and it is often reflected in stronger offers and a faster sale rather than just headline price.
