\u201cBathrooms always rank high in the criteria for most property seekers. For them it\u2019s one of the most fundamental spaces in a property. Consequently, those homeowners looking to improve their existing bathroom or add another for the purpose of boosting their property value, will carefully consider the required improvements and additions which will provide the best end result\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\nEmma Barns an Estate Agent from Sunderland commented:<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the years I have seen a fair share of properties where the homeowners have not taken any pride in the appearance and maintenance of their bathrooms. This has adversely impacted on the value of their property when trying to sell or rent. Leaking pipes, mould and outdated fittings are reoccurring problems in a lot of the properties. Considering the bathroom is used on a daily basis, prospective buyers want to carefully envision the viability of its usage. If they identify problems which cannot be easily addressed, it negatively effects their perception of the property, even if the rest of the house is great. So the best course of action is to identity all the improvements that need to be made and make them without sacrificing on quality. This will yield the best potential outcomes for a property\u2019s value\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"bathroom-renovation\"](\"https:\/\/www.showerstoyou.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bathroom-renovation.jpg\")

Kim Yates a Property Consultant from London commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cThe introduction of a second bathroom will definitely increase the value of a property. There is no question about it. In my opinion, this option is most beneficial for properties with more than three bedrooms. From a family\u2019s point of view, it eradicates the disputes of sharing a bathroom. If prospective buyers are elderly, than a downstairs second bathroom can be very convenient, especially if they suffer from any mobility issues. The great thing about planning a second bathroom is that it does not need to be as fancy or extravagant as the main bathroom. As long as it is built well and with the right bathroom\u00a0accessories<\/a> \/materials\/bathroom furnishing<\/a> \u2013 then it will be more than suitable for any purpose\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nDan Gates a Property Investor and Analyst from Manchester commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cA second bathroom or improvements to an existing bathroom doesn\u2019t have to be a complex process, strive for a coherent vision. I believe appearance is the underrated key. Whilst the popular consensus may be to splatter white paint and fixtures across the bathroom, it may come across as too boring. When giving the bathroom a lick of paint, choose soft colours. Going for dark colours will may make the bathroom feel confined to prospective buyers. Integrating features such as a heated towel rail and power shower could add vast appeal in the eyes of prospective buyers\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nDesigners<\/h3>\n
Matthew Paterson a Freelance Designer from Birmingham commented:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it comes to bathrooms, more often than not, people overlook the importance of getting the basic things\u00a0right. Vibrant tiles with good grouting is a must. The desired layout also needs to correspond with the plumbing infrastructure of the bathroom. Similarly, you want some space for movement and storage between the three main fixtures of the bathroom \u2013 the toilet<\/a>, sink and shower\/bath. There is also the consideration of whether you want a bathroom to have a certain theme and encompass fun features such as waterfall taps etc. In my view, if you\u2019re spending for the sole purpose of increasing the value of a property, then go for a simple design throughout. If you\u2019re doing it for personal preference, then include a combination of higher end features and fixtures. In either case, don\u2019t compromise on the finishing and the collective appearance of the bathroom\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
