Who hasn't dreamed of a beautiful kitchen ?
The day you can finally make your wishes come true, don't pay too much!
Here are 3 tips to help you with the purchase of your new kitchen.
A kitchen is a important purchase both financially and psychologically. Do not hesitate to take your time, think about your needs and carefully determine your budget. I advise you to ask for 2 or 3 quotes .
Key point :to be comparable, these quotes must be based on the same services :type of material, household appliances, installation, deadlines, etc. This is why each estimate must be as detailed as possible and imperatively made from a measurement of your current kitchen. Otherwise, watch out for bad surprises.
Then all you have to do is negotiate , knowing that the cheapest is not necessarily the best investment. The important thing is of course a good value for money .
The world of kitchen designers does not have a very good reputation. In any case, never sign on a first date. Always ask for a written proposal .
Let the salesperson unfold his entire pitch, without showing too much enthusiasm. When he's finished, it's up to you to set your conditions .
Be creative:
- Ask for a superior quality service for the same price
- Require free household appliances
- Request payment facilities free, without taking out credit
Here again, a great classic of negotiation. Kitchen designer salespeople work with monthly and annual targets. They need to fill their order books on a regular basis.
Prioritize your visit to the store at a quiet moment , at the beginning of the month when they are not yet under pressure to achieve their monthly objective, during the week, outside school holidays or, on the contrary, in the heart of summer.
If you feel the seller is very comfortable, not very sensitive to your arguments, do not hesitate to leave and come back later. The more you will be in a position of strength , the better you can negotiate and win the deal at a price that suits you!
