Most homeowners today are looking for ways to add value to their properties and here is a great and simple way to do it!

In today’s property market, more and more home experts say that renovating a bathroom or adding one is going to make the house more desirable and therefore more valuable.

There are many different types of upgrades and levels of work that can be done for your bathroom.

A splash of paint can freshen up the room while another simple but equally effective way is to replace the lights and cabinet hardware, thus improving the cosmetic aspects of the room.

A custom vanity or sink and countertop will also go a long way to transforming a bathroom while others prefer to replace their toilets with more modern-looking ones.

You could also redo your floors by upgrading from say vinyl to tile.

And then there is also the possibility of adding a new bathroom although that may depend on the design of the house.

Adding a bathroom can add great value to your property, especially given the cost to build one.

Many people wrongly assume that the purpose of a bathroom is purely functional.

But in fact, an increasing number of homeowners want to pamper themselves in the bathroom and having the right space to do that is actually imperative.

That is why a clean, stylishly designed bathroom can add significant value to a property.

A walk-in closet can simply have plumbing added or perhaps an area - such as a basement - could be transformed into an extra bathroom.

Adding a wall to a large enough room can also accommodate an extra bath and why not even add plumbing to a home extension if there is room?

“A bathroom could add about five per cent to the value of their home,” said Richard Tettmar, who is a Showroom Consultant at Drakes.

“That comes to about £12,000 on an average priced property in the UK so the return on investment is definitely there!”
