Kitchen specific questions
Are appliances electrically tested eg PAT or FAT tested?
For ex-display appliances we request the Trade Seller confirms if the appliance has been PAT (Portable Appliances Tested) of FAT (Fixed Appliance Tested) , as applicable. This will be confirmed in the `Important Information` section in the sales listing`.
For pre-owned appliances we request that the Seller confirms that the appliances being sold are in good working order and any defects are noted, see `Condition` section in sales listing. We assume that appliances have not been PAT/ FAT tested, see 'Important Information' in the Sales Listing.
We confirm that Rehome does not test any appliances.
For all appliances it is a Purchaser obligation that all appliances purchased are installed and tested by a qualified electrician prior to being switched on.

I will I know if a used or ex-display kitchen will fit?
Used Kitchens
Each Rehome listings provides a full breakdown of unit sizes in addition to the approximate overall dimensions, to help you calculate if the kitchen is the right fit for you. We suggest that you have a layout drawn out to use as a template, or use your current layout by measuring your unit sizes as a guide. If a kitchen you like is too big, this can work well as it gives you a variety of layout options. If the kitchen is slightly too small, there may be a solution by adding other features such as a wine rack or filler piece.
Ex Display Kitchens
Ex-display kitchens are normally designed and fitted without the need to accommodate household architecture such as service pillars, arches, windows, etc. This can make them a little easier to work with. A lot of ex display kitchens are current stock (unless stated otherwise) and can be added to. In some cases the showroom may be able to offer a scaled plan of the kitchen or even design advice. Rehome have now introduced an in web app that can be used to help you, or you can use our in-house designer
Can Rehome arrange a viewing of a used or ex-display kitchen before I buy?
In the majority of cases for pre-owned or ex display kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms, we can arrange a viewing for you. With an approved used product, this will be at the home of the seller. Likewise, for an ex display item it may be in a showroom or similar. If an item has already been removed and is in storage, viewings are harder to arrange.
