While a bathroom is one of the smallest rooms in a house, it can also be the room that undergoes the most scrutiny.
People spend a great deal of time in their bathroom. It’s a place to get ready every morning and spend time unwinding from a hard day. For this reason it needs to be comfortable and functional and most of all it needs to feel clean and refreshing too.
A tired or dirty bathroom can be an instant turnoff for a lot of buyers. If a bathroom isn’t up to scratch a buyer may not even consider the rest of the property. Nobody wants to have to spend everyday using a room they don’t feel comfortable to step into.
Luckily it’s easy to give a bathroom a quick makeover. While it may not be a wise investment to completely overhaul a bathroom, a few simple changes can help make a bathroom feel like new and help add considerable value to your property.
Have a chat to your real estate agent when considering putting your property on the market to help get advice about changes that your bathroom might need. They can help you save money on renovations and concentrate on spending your time and money on changes that will help your bathroom look its best.
