Selling a used kitchen is incredibly simple. To help you live in possible, we use an easy-to-follow, five-step process. If you plan on selling with Rehome, fill out an online form (attaching any relevant pictures and information), and we’ll take it from there!
But what if you’re not sure if your kitchen is suitable to sell? While there is always the chance that any product submitted to us could be rejected for sale through Rehome, the quality and condition of a pre-owned product are subjective.
The best kitchen interiors to sell are those that could be loved by someone else. No two homes are created equal, and it’s because of this that certain features can make your used kitchen listing more attractive to buyers.
What is the most popular kitchen style now?
In 2024, kitchen styles are more individualistic than ever. The modern kitchen is a kaleidoscope of trends, some still in fashion, others a happy memory. But the best part is that each design is unique to its creator. Shaker kitchens are always popular with buyers. Recessed panel doors in simple colours can pair well with all manner of homes, which means more people are likely to browse for them.
Then, there are ‘transitional kitchens’. This term refers to designs that fuse elements of contemporary and traditional (or ‘period’) kitchens. The result? A homely, cosy kitchen that uses neutral colours and clean lines. Again, this design covers a broad range of renovator wants. Another draw is a kitchen that features stainless steel appliances, like range ovens or boiling water taps from brands like Siemens and Quooker.
Anyone shopping for approved used kitchens will have a general idea of the style they want. Who knows, your unique kitchen might be the perfect match for someone! If you have something to sell, fill out our quick online form for a guide price and marketing survey.
5 best kitchen interiors to sell now
Shoppers looking for used kitchens may have their hearts set on a few specific features. While your kitchen may not include every big-ticket item, it could be the right fit for someone else. The best kitchen interiors to sell now may include:
1. Island kitchen (or any eating area)
Island kitchens are an undeniable luxury. These large, freestanding counters double as extra preparation areas, eating spaces and, for those with sinks, an additional place to keep the kitchen tidy! They also often come with cabinets and drawers, a valuable storage area for utensils and cookware.
Shoppers who use their kitchens as socialising areas may be more attracted to these listings, as islands are another space where family and friends can congregate. They’re equally attractive to homeowners who want their new kitchen to be clutter-free: the kitchen island can keep frequently used items within reach (rather than scattered around the room!)
2. Stainless steel appliances
One of the main reasons homeowners shop for used kitchens is that they are sold for thousands of pounds less than their original retail price – this includes listings with appliances included!
If your kitchen includes appliances from brands like AEG, NEFF or Gaggenau, there is no doubt that buyers will be interested. Over many years, stainless steel kitchen appliances have become synonymous with quality.
Their neutral, professional look makes stainless steel a safe investment for buyers who change up their decor regularly – and this is without mentioning their easy maintenance and cleaning requirements!
3. Good quality cabinetry
As approved used kitchens can cost anywhere from £2,500 to £40,000, buyers want to have confidence that their purchase, namely, their cabinets, will stand the test of time. Kitchens that feature well-crafted cabinets will always be a big hit with buyers. High-quality cabinetry typically requires less upkeep, as it resists common issues like warping or peeling.
For buyers who want a low-maintenance kitchen, this will make a compelling selling point! (If you’re worried about the dismantling process, don’t worry: where agreed, we’ll dismantle and deliver using our in-house Which? Trusted Trader team!)
4. Pantry
Plenty of chefs browse for used kitchens because they’ve outgrown their current one! With nowhere to store appliances, dry goods, or home-grown herbs, used kitchens with pantries are becoming increasingly popular. Pantry kitchens are associated with high-end designs: they’re convenient and especially great for homes with large families.
If you’re looking to sell your pantry and kitchen, keep in mind that their convenience is attractive to those looking to upgrade to a well-structured layout.
5. Luxe worktops
Does your kitchen have worktops made from materials like quartz, marble, or granite? These kinds of counters are highly sought after and can significantly boost the appeal of your used kitchen.
Their high price points are, in part, down to their durability: premium worktops are resilient, and can be great for buyers looking to make a long-term investment in quality.
