I live in a three bedroom 1930’s ex council flat . There’s lots of identical flats on the street.
Originally these flats had very small kitchens, just a galley style with no room for eating . So when we bought ours we moved the kitchen through to one of the bedrooms. Which gives a big kitchen with room for a table to eat at. The original kitchen then became a third bedroom. Tis a small bedroom but not infeasible. My teenage son has it and he has a small double bed, desk and wardrobe in there.
a few other flats on the street have done the same conversion. Tisn’t a massive deal, just moving gas and electricity one room along. Easy to put back too should you want to. only cost us a few grand to do.
We’ve had the flat over a decade now and it needs a new kitchen and re decorating. but we’re wanting to move so haven’t done these things. It’s not awful, just needs a repaint and refreshed and the kitchen cupboard doors need repainting.
We got the flat valued recently and the estate agents have valued it as 30 grand less than other indentical flats in the street that still have the kitchen in the original room. They say it’s because it has a small third bedroom and needs redecorating!
will this really make 30 grand’s worth of difference?
