I have been a tenant here since September 2002 - before the HH takeover.

The kitchen cupboard doors had chipped and peeling melamine - the chipboard was exposed in places - yet all they did was fit a new worktop which had been 'hacked at' by the previous tenant (looked like he had widened the cooker slot using a bread knife)
I hung new doors and a drawerfront at my own expense then - cost me about £100 using B&Q sale prices.

Since then I have replaced slimline undercounter fridge and freezer with a full size fridge/freezer.
The fridge freezer is backing onto the wall between lounge and kitchen where there is a large radiator (on the other side of the cardboard) - so it would be better resited where it backs onto an exterior wall - my layout plan has that.
