Moving a kitchen to new house

GaGa21

Hi folks,
Hope this is right place to ask.
I'm wondering has this or can it be done. Or is it even worth doing? New house has an older kitchen so was going to move kitchen from current house over. The doors at least should be manageable but can the units be brought too? I'm worried about the cost as our builder might feel like it's twice the work and charge as much.
Any ideas welcome!

Of Course it can be done any fitter can do that work.

Have you made the buyer of your existing home aware that the kitchen is not included... That will have to be in the contracts you can't just pull it out.

It’s not a big job to do and any cabinet maker should be able to do it for you, but there are some things you need to consider.

1) will the kitchen fit in the new house (will it be too big or too small)
2) what are you going to put in place of the kitchen in your current house, will you pay to put in a new “cheap” kitchen
3) was it an expensive kitchen or would it be cheaper to leave it there and simply for a new kitchen in the new house

Has the old house no value or is it being knocked , because removing the kitchen will impact house value .
Also consider getting new carcasses, instead of moving as they are minimal cost.

it's perfectly common in germany that renters bring their own kitchen. the difference in germany though is that renters have security and consistency so if they want to rent the property long term, they can.
