What does 'high/medium/low spec' mean?

[samosamo]

Seen many references to spec on these boards and I have no clue - can you give me some names to look up so I understand? and is it just a brand thing, or....?

Are there any affordable options for kitchens and bathrooms that people rate quite highly? I really can't afford £70k on a kitchen! I work for the NHS ;p

High spec - any house on Grand Designs Medium spec - Escape to the Country Low spec - Homes under the Hammer

Tune in and you will soon get the gist!

lol - so true, and so sad that I watch them all

My builder always reminds me to follow the 5,2,1 rule. Spend 5% of the value of your house on your kitchen, 2% on the bathroom and 1% decorating and you should get your money back if you need to sell. Always worth getting an estate agents view on other building work to see if it worth it.

Not sure about that....in the South East you'd end up spending ludicrous amounts on a normal family kitchen!
