Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Does a new kitchen increase the value by its purchase price?+
Usually not one to one. Age of the old kitchen, quality, market and buyer preferences influence the effect.
Why is value retention managed separately?+
Many works prevent a loss of value, but do not create an equally high additional market value.
