"... plus new ..., hob, oven etc,"Just beware if you are into proper cooking.  I had new oven (2 of them, as wanted to be able to heat plates and keep stuff warm while other food, roast spuds, joints etc were in the other oven) - well that was a disaster -new AEG oven unit is hopeless for actual cooking, it would barely hold a large chicken, certainly not able to hold a rib of beef or a large leg of lamb, far too shallow.  Even a big deep casserole will not fit in - the shelves take up all the room as you cannot stand anything on the floor of the ovens.  It's pretty useless unless reheating flat dishes!  As for the hob, big mistake again got a flat "glass" electric hob (couldn't have an infusion hob as would have needed to replace most of my pans).  I should have insisted on a gas hob but thought the flat "glass" would be easier to keep clean - well it ain't, marks even boiling water!  Also uncertain heat, either boils it's frock off or barely heats up, very difficult to just simmer anything.  I hate the entire AEG set up - also rotten hood too, barely sucks anything out and needs to be wider than the cooker as does the s.steel splash back.  Fat and steam hits the wall each side of it!  Within the space width of this wide oven unit, they could have divided the width in half and had one deep sized Oven, with a narrow grill next door and a small heating drawer under that - but NO, nothing is made like that!  Suppose it's all designed by non cooks to look smart.
