The cost to build an ensuite<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The house’s location<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The size of the bedroom<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 32% of respondents from Showerstoyou<\/a>\u2019s recent survey said that they want to build an ensuite\/turn their bathroom into one. However, 48% also said it would depend on the price. So how much does an ensuite cost? The average cost of installing ensuite bathrooms can be up to \u00a36000<\/a>, but this could skyrocket due to things like: choice of materials, hiring someone to do the work, or fixing potential problems or mistakes (if you want to avoid added costs, learn how to install an electric shower<\/a> here!). Therefore, consider the realistic costs of your project before deciding whether or not it is worth it, and whether or not an ensuite will add value to your home.<\/p>\n You might also like our guide on the cost of buying a bath<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n It may seem like an easy choice to make, but the decision of installing a bathroom may depend on your location. House prices vary wildly in different parts of the country, so your potential gain could differ drastically depending on this.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s look at a property in Newcastle, for instance. As of February 2019 the average house price<\/a> is \u00a3210,000, meaning a 5% potential value increase of \u00a310,500 versus a \u00a36000 cost for the renovation leaves a leftover gain of approximately \u00a34,500. Compare that to somewhere like London where house prices average \u00a3654,000 and that could leave you with a more appetising \u00a326,000 gain. Of course these are just estimates, but it\u2019s definitely something worth thinking about before making that investment.<\/p>\n Read more: The different types of baths you can buy<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n While it\u2019s possible to convert most spaces into an ensuite bathroom, sometimes it may be detrimental to do it in a smaller space. Thinking of a loft conversion with ensuite? Great! But reducing the space in an already small bedroom could affect not only the property\u2019s price, it could also affect its ability to sell<\/a>. It\u2019s as much about making the property appeal to a potential buyer, as 38% of our respondents said they would rather have no ensuite and a larger bedroom if they could choose. At the end of the day, it\u2019s up to you to decide what\u2019s best.<\/p>\n So, how much value does an ensuite add? The moral of the story seems to be that it depends on lots of things. It makes sense that a well-executed ensuite with quality handiwork and bathroom accessories<\/a> will add value to your home; however the location, size and cost of this renovation still need to be considered. Without a doubt, however, there is potential for a major gain by installing an ensuite bathroom.
