Invest wisely

"The kitchen is a very important part of the house," says Wynand van Wyk from Kitchen Projects, "as this it is the place where family and friends will gather while cooking.

"A well-laid out and functional kitchen makes cooking pleasurable. An updated kitchen and modern main bedroom will help a property sell much faster as these are the two places where buyers spend most of their time. Upgrading or renewal may be costly but it is money well-spent."
