Kitchen: nicer units, smaller kitchen OR cheaper units, bigger kitchen

[elise15]

My wife and I are in a dilemma: should we go with nicer units (Neptune) with a smaller kitchen, or should we go with cheaper units (benchmarx: oxford range) with a bigger kitchen. We are thinking both about our use and potential resale value. Our budget is big, but not huge (?17.5k all in (incl. fitting)). Any thoughts?

Have you tried British Standard? They are handmade in England by the Plain English company but much, much cheaper.

Beautiful too - you get them painted seperately in a colour of your choosing.

They sell high quality units direct from manufacturers. You'll need to find a fitter but you'll get more units than you think for your money from them. We fitted a very large kitchen for under ?10k and it looks like it cost twice that.

I'd really recommend them.
