Buying A 2-Bed London Flat With Open Plan Living
Open plan living has become ever popular in recent years and rightly so…
Some of the pros of open plan living include:
It is excellent for entertaining friends and family and allows you to cook and entertain effectively at the same time.
It is also great for keeping an eye on your children and making sure that they are okay!
Open plan style living is often significantly brighter and feels a lot ‘roomier’ and spacious than having a separate kitchen and dining/ living room.
Open plan living can also add a good amount of value to your 3-bed flat… A number of potential 2-bed home buyers are looking for open plan living and therefore they will pay more money with a property that is open plan. If you turn your 2-bed flat into a home that has open plan living, it therefore should increase the value…

However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows…
Some of the cons of open plan living include:
Open plan living is not particularly private and some people could be totally against it!
Open plan living is great for keeping an eye on your children, however, children can be noisy!! If you plan on keeping an eye on your children, could you put up with them being noisy as you’re trying to cook dinner or entertain friends in the kitchen?
If you are cooking dinner in an open plan kitchen the smells can and in all likelihood will of course venture in the living area of the flat…
Open plan living is less insulated (due to less walls!) and therefore heating costs can be more expensive.
Have you ever thought of moving to a 2-bed flat with an open plan kitchen or have you thought about changing your current 2-bed property to include one?
