How much do you think kitchen and bathroom can devalue house?

We’re hoping to put our house on the market this year.

Having had a recce on Rightmove I’ve worked out the average selling price for a house of the same size in our street.

Our house has a couple of advantages over 4 of these houses - it’s end terraced, huge corner plot so big garden and proper drive way. The most expensive of the 5 sold was an end terrace. However! The bathroom and kitchen are diabolical. Not in a ‘change/paint the cabinet doors’ type of way either. There’s no getting away from the fact that both need to be replaced - they’re perfectly functional, just ugly, old and past their time. Every other room will be freshly plastered, painted etc. I really, really don’t want to replace them to just move.

All the other houses that have sold in the last two or so years have had decent enough and modern bathrooms and kitchens.

I know it’s so hard to say but is ours likely to just be worth a kitchen and bathroom replacement cost less than the others? Or will it really detract from the value?

I’m hoping we can get away without picturing them on the listing Blush

Anyone sold a house with similar issues?

I painted my units using Bedec Multisurface paint. Fabulous stuff, no sanding or undercoating needed, just sugar soap your units to clean. Great range of colours, only bought the one medium tin which covered several units with two coats, cost under £20.
