It's also worth taking into account the level of finish. As a landlord it’s almost always not worth spending more for good quality items, as they usually won’t increase your returns. It’s more important how the property looks, than the quality, which I’d say is why IKEA is so popular nowadays. If you want an induction hob, a good mattress, proper ventilation system so the windows don’t have condensation and something other than paper thin walls, you are pretty much out of luck in the UK. On the other hand if you are fitting out your own place, upgrading to better quality items like this doesn’t really cost that much more (e.g. £200 for an induction hob vs £100 for a ceramic hob).
