Adding Value

You can add a great deal of value to your home by adding a bathroom suite. How much it will add will depend largely on the current value of your home and also the value of surrounding properties. Before you begin any type of remodeling or addition, you should consider the cost to value ration.

In some markets, the addition of a bathroom suite can add up to 10% value to an existing home price. Even more important to many homeowners is that fact that a bathroom suite can make the home more desirable to buyers (and therefore easier to sell). This is especially important during the slower real estate markets.

On the flip side, if you lose too much space to create the bathroom suite then it could become more of a hindrance than a help. To successfully add value by adding a bathroom suite, you want to keep the bedroom ration higher than the bathroom ratio (in other words, if you have 2 bedrooms and will have to lose one to create the bathroom suite then it is likely not going to increase the value of the home).

The Bathroom Info has some great tips from the experts about adding value to your home with a bathroom suite.

The best value you will get by installing a bathroom suite is your personal usage of that space. If it is something that you desire and something that you can afford then it is something that you should do.
