Eileen - Excitement

Nov. 3rd, 2006 09:59 am Excitement

well! My parents are officially wonderful. They have kindly offered to loan us the money to get our windows, kitchen and bathroom done. I am so excited and quite gobsmacked - it means that we seriously havea good chance of being ready enough to sell this place next summer and make a healthy profit on what we paid for it - theres been upgarded flats in our street going for about £40-45,000, and we paid just under £25,000 for ours 3 years ago so we stand to almost double our money if we're lucky! I'm so excited now.

So, basically, if anyones knows of good places to get kitchen bathroom or window bargains please let me know, likewise if you know of places having sales etc. Also if you know of places to avoid like the plague, please let us know.

Current Mood: ecstatic

You can get a basic bathroom suite for £200 in B&Q, kitchen wise how are your carcusses, could you get away with just new doors etc? Cheap windows I have no idea, avoid Weatherseal though, our windows are from there and although they are great, they cost a freaking bomb.

My dads gonna fit the windows so we're wanting to buy them wholesale somewhere - he also used to work for weatherseal so I know they're crooks already ;)

The carcasses in the kitchen are alrite, we're just going to replace the doors, get new worktops, rewire, replace the walls - everything basically!

Haha, Jonny used to work for them too ;)

Sunshine windows would probably be good for a look, my Dad got all his windows for his porch from there for not very much. http://www.sunshinewindows.co.uk/windows.html

We bought our bathroom suite from B&Q and it's spot on. I'm pretty sure it was under £200 and then £200 to get it fitted in which was alright. Kitchen wise, have a swatch in Ikea :)
