Top tips for a quick house sale

Kitchens and bathrooms sell a property, so how do you improve yours on a budget? Julia Gray reports.

If your kitchen units have seen better days and you don’t want to go to the expense and hassle of replacing them, give them an instant makeover by changing the doors and drawer fronts. This will transform the kitchen and needn’t be too expensive.

* Your local kitchen manufacturer will have a range of doors if your units are standard — just get a fitter to change them out. If the units aren’t standard sizes or you want a more affordable option, simply paint the doors and drawer fronts to give them a new look. Glue thin MDF to the front to change the style and then paint them.
