Comments (23)@Gabby Wong @obobble @OnePlan (Concept planners) Thanks all! Bruises subsiding ;-) It's just so overwhelming - the number of decisions to make, and the desire to make it just perfect. Having lived with a kitchen that we installed 19 years ago that has most definitely NOT worked for us I am beyond excited about a new and practical space. This is part of a much bigger ground floor remodel and I have spent many many hours thinking and discussing options with different and unbiased kitchen designers, friends with perfect and imperfect kitchens, and friends who know our kitchen and how I use it. There are many restrictions in the space - as there are in all kitchens but we are getting something close to ideal now. I have written down everything I use in the kitchen that stored everything - on paper - in the new one - considering carefully how and where it is and will be used. So silly things like where do I hang tea towels to dry when there isn't a radiator in the kitchen area shouldn't give me worry lines - I know when it is installed there will be an end of unit where I can do this. but that doesn't stop me thinking about it! The image that the designer sent is not perfect we both know - software limitations - and I will definitely ask them to install either the combi oven or single oven at low or under counter height - that's what our current oven is, so bending down to take out my turkey isn't a big deal - as you say, safer than standing on the dusty IKEA toddler stool. And the top of that unit can hold the glasses - my other worry line creator. Anyway, your thoughts and ideas are helping hone the design. But for now, we're sticking with the american F/F - impractical, over-priced, sticky outy - but I rather like the industrial look and lines to break up the fitted kitchen-ness....See MoreFull re-wiring, new combi boiler and central heating
Comments (30)I’m not a solicitor but I’d have thought they should have got probate organised before marketing the house. I’ve been executor and got everything organised before marketing and so it was really quick to complete as there was no chain. I don’t understand how you were expecting the keys and now they’re doing more searches. In your position I would ask your solicitor (not the estate agent- they represent the seller not you, so always be careful what you tell them) to establish exactly what is outstanding and then explain it to you with expected timescales- you can then assess whether you need to extend your mortgage offer. If it’s just minor things (eg executors often can’t answer standard conveyancing questions) then you can look at how important they are and alternatives (eg insurance policies can sometimes deal with missing documents). Check with the solicitor that he has everything on your side too (eg final mortgage documentation)....See Morewould you mix and match built in oven brands?
Comments (16)Thanks all. Indeed when I posed my initial question I hadn't really been thinking about appearance, it was more to see if anyone else had done it and to check that there weren't any incompatibility issues eg with installation, different controls, or perhaps other things I might not have considered. It's been great to hear people's constructive input and experiences of having done exactly this! It's an iterative process and great food for thought (pardon the pun). Many thanks....See MoreAvi Halberthal

2 years agoI had the same issue as this and my kitchen fitter worked out the perfect height to have the combi oven stacked over the single oven. The unit below is a drawer which measures 350mm and the overall height to the top of the oven is 1570mm. The bottom of the single oven is 510mm from the floor and the oven is Neff slide and hide. The height of both the ovens work well for me and my husband who is 5ft 9in.
The only difficulty I had was explaining this to my kitchen fitter because he was well over 6ft tall but we got it right in the end!
