Selling your current kitchen has numerous advantages, such as reducing environmental waste, participating in the growing upcycling trend, earning a surprising amount of money for yourself, and helping others afford the kitchen of their dreams.
But how exactly does one sell a kitchen? The easiest way is to use a professional kitchen reseller company. They handle everything for you, from coming to your home to measure, photograph, and evaluate your kitchen to managing the marketing and payments once it’s sold. Most importantly, they arrange for professional kitchen removal, leaving you with a clean space to start your new renovations.
James Saidman, the founder of Love My Kitchen, has been reselling luxury used or pre-owned kitchens for a decade. His company specialises in high-end brands like Smallbone, Poggenpohl, Charles Yorke, Roundhouse, Boffi, and Bulthaup.
A kitchen extension is usually part of a larger renovation, and Love My Kitchen collaborates closely with project managers, architects, interior designers, and building contractors to ensure smooth operation.
James explains further why selling your existing kitchen is beneficial:
“Helping the environment, one kitchen at a time.” Kitchens have a significant environmental impact, and by reselling rather than discarding them, you can help reduce the volume of waste that ends up in landfills. According to Love My Kitchen, this is the most rewarding reason clients sell their kitchens—they love knowing their old kitchen is being reused rather than thrown away.
“I had no idea it was worth that much.” The resale value of a high-end kitchen can be surprisingly substantial. Love My Kitchen has made clients hundreds and thousands of pounds by reselling kitchens. When the sale includes both the countertops and appliances, five to ten-year-old kitchens often retain their value quite well—sometimes better than a car of similar age.
“Passing it on.” A brand-new luxury kitchen may be out of reach for many, but after a few years, the value of these kitchens becomes more affordable without sacrificing quality. James says that helping someone achieve their dream kitchen at a lower price point is one of the most rewarding aspects of the business.
