Hi I’m moving to a new house and plan to do an extension but the vendor won’t tell me where the kitchen is we from so that I can add extra units and had for quite nasty after me asking… am I being unreasonable?

Kitchen for reference ibb.co/d0Wfvgf

Not unreasonable
Maybe they don't know ,?!?

They look painted to me, have you looked inside? Maybe they are a bit snippy because they’re done poorly and hope you haven’t noticed.
Or maybe they just don’t know or can’t remember.
Also some people can be over sensitive when they hear you’re going to change things in ‘their’ home.

Won't or can't? I have no idea where our kitchen is from.

AnotherKrampus · 26/06/2021 01:27

Pretty uggly, why would you want more of that...!

CarrieMoonbeams · 26/06/2021 01:46

I like it OP.

Could it be from Symphony? They do a lot of Shaker style units. I'm getting one fitted soon. It's hard to judge the colour from a match on a screen though.

I think Wren do similar ones too.

You might also find a label inside one of the units or a drawer when you've moved in.

Looks like Wikes and they are being weird

CharlotteRose90 · 26/06/2021 02:10

It’s from b&q as we had the same units in our old extension.

Looks the same as in your photograph

FrenchFancie · 26/06/2021 05:13

Looks like our IKEA kitchen.

Maybe they don’t know, maybe they don’t want to admit it’s IKEA!!

cupsofcoffee · 26/06/2021 05:32

Maybe they didn't install it so they don't know?

I have no clue where our kitchen is from!

Aprilx · 26/06/2021 05:36

I don’t know where my kitchen is from. I wouldn’t guess because if I got it wrong no doubt somebody would try to sue me for the cost of unmatching cupboards.

crosbyrose · 26/06/2021 05:54

It’s definitely IKEA we put the same one in in our last house.

shenanigans5 · 26/06/2021 05:57

I think it’s IKEA too. Looks familiar from when we chose ours.

irishoak · 26/06/2021 06:40

Looks like my mum's kitchen from Magnet.

Melitza · 26/06/2021 06:43

Well as pp's think it could be 5 different kitchens you shouldn't have any trouble matching some new units.

Cattitudes · 26/06/2021 06:44

We have never replaced a kitchen so wouldn't know where it came from. They might just not have replaced it or might have had a local kitchen fitter who sourced the units. Or might have forgotten. I doubt they are doing it to wind you up.

Boomisshiss · 26/06/2021 06:45

It’s IKEA

fallfallfall · 26/06/2021 06:47

Look inside or under the drawers. Somewhere there should id.

BadNomad · 26/06/2021 06:49

IKEA cupboards are easy to identify. They go flush to the wall. No service gap.

WeeFae · 26/06/2021 07:00

Looks the same as mine from B&Q.

SaltAndVinegarSandwiches · 26/06/2021 07:02

Very strange behaviour. If they don't know why wouldn't they just explain that. I assume they think they look posher than they actually are and don't want to be found out.

Squellyolwelly · 26/06/2021 07:02

Looks very similar to ours which is from howdens. We just have a different colour/handles

oknowimscared · 26/06/2021 07:04

Looks like Howdens to me
