Typical landlord and rental kitchens prices for homes in New Milton, including VAT and adjusted for the South East. Your own figure depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and what is moving.

House types around New Milton and what they mean for a kitchen

In and around New Milton, homes range across Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and thatched and brick cottages. Terraces in Southampton and Portsmouth often have a narrow back kitchen, while post-war estate houses tend to have a compact rectangular room suited to an L-shape.

Water across Hampshire is mostly hard, largely from chalk sources, so limescale on taps and boiling water taps is common and a filter can help. Dense terraced streets can be very tight for parking, and New Forest lanes and village roads may limit the size of delivery vehicle.

What rules apply to landlord and rental kitchens in New Milton?

In England, a replacement rental kitchen needs no planning permission, though a listed building may need listed building consent. New circuits are notifiable under Part P and certified through a competent person scheme or building control. Private landlords need an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), with portable appliance testing (PAT) of any appliances they supply, at least every five years, plus annual gas safety checks, so keep the new certificates with those records. Gas connections are made only by Gas Safe registered engineers, and HMO kitchens must meet the licence conditions.

Homes within the New Forest or South Downs national parks, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new extractor vent or alterations to historic features.

Tips before you start

Give your New Milton tenants notice of the survey in line with the tenancy agreement, and agree a time for the visit that suits them.
Ask your letting agent to hold a spare set of keys for the fitting period, and to pass on any alarm codes securely.
If your New Milton property is an HMO, send us a copy of the licence conditions before the survey so the layout meets them from the start.
Plan fire safety in shared kitchens, such as a heat alarm and a fire blanket, as HMO licences commonly set these out.

Questions about landlord and rental kitchens in New Milton

How much do landlord and rental kitchens cost in New Milton?

Landlord and rental kitchens in New Milton typically cost £6,900 to £12,600 including VAT for a small rental kitchen in a flat or terrace, supplied and fitted, based on prices in the South East. Larger or more involved jobs cost more, and your price is fixed in writing after a free survey visit.

Do you cover all of New Milton?

Yes. We work across New Milton, including the BH25 postcode district, and nearby towns such as Christchurch and Lymington. Book a free survey visit and we will arrange a time that suits you.

Will I get certificates for the gas and electrical work?

Yes. Electrical work comes with an Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate, and the Gas Safe registered engineer provides a record of any gas work. These are separate from the annual gas safety check and any periodic electrical inspection, which landlords arrange on their own schedule. Keep them all together with your property records.

Can you work with my letting agent on access?

Yes. Landlords who live away from the property often prefer this, so we can arrange keys, survey times and fitting access through your letting agent, with you approving the quote and any changes. We do not manage properties or act as a letting agent; we carry out the kitchen work and keep both you and your agent updated as it progresses.

What kind of kitchen lasts longest in a rented home?

A rental kitchen lasts longest when it combines well-built carcasses, doors with a tough, easily cleaned finish, laminate worktops with sealed edges and a wipe-clean vinyl floor. Simple, widely available appliances are quicker to replace when one fails. Finishes that mark easily or need regular oiling, such as solid wood worktops, are better avoided unless you are prepared to maintain them.
