First-time homeowners who had a tight budget revealed how they were able to transform their dated kitchen, while saving on the cost of an average renovation by 28 per cent.
Sarah Macklin, 25, and her husband Jay, 26, who live in Cheshire, explained that they bought a secondhand kitchen on eBay for £850 and installed it themselves to avoid going over their £1,500 budget.
The couple spent just a week installing appliances including a built-in freezer, cooker and the units, following YouTube tutorials and learning by trial and error.
Having re-wired the kitchen, they then enlisted an electrician to sign off their work and hired someone to fit the tiles.
