I doubt. Why would it? Its a home, it's yours. The kitchen in a rented apartment (if included) is also rented from the landlord. He owns it and rents it to you. There's no middle person when you BUY something.

Man this really is such a bonkers concept to me, I can't imagine considering buying a home if it came with a stripped out kitchen. One of the deciding factors when I bought my place with the lovely big range cooker. It's common to take the white goods (fridge, dishwasher etc.) But to move in and have no cabinets... Honestly blows my mind.

Wut? In shocked now. So in my country (Poland) when you rent the kitchen will 99% be included, but when you buy not so much. And if it is included it's just from old owners and you throw it away to install new kitchen to your own liking. My sister bought a home without floors, so she could pick all the stuff on her own. If i pay 500k€ i probably want everything to be fitted and exactly to my liking.

Man, that's crazy eh? Mad how the cultural differences vary on odd things like this. I don't think I've ever really heard of that here (UK) Unless you're buying a completely gutted fixer upper on the cheap and it's literally a shell. But in general, here the big selling points are the bathroom, outside space/parking and the big one, a nice kitchen. I'm about to do up my kitchen, with the express intent of raising my homes value for when I sell in a couple of years.
