I've just had a Homebuyer Survey back for a 3 bed 1930's semi. Traditional layout with living room to the front, dining room and kitchen at the back.
I'd like to put a toilet in the space under the stairs and asked the surveyor to comment on how feasible this is.
The surveyor said that this proposal would either mean repositioning the meters which would be costly or removal of the partition between the WC and kitchen which would be costly in terms of revised support and would also take space off the kitchen.
His concluding remark is that "neither approach is likely to be economically viable. However, water supply and drainage are both adjacent".
What does he mean by not economically viable? Is it that any costs involved wouldn't be reflected in the house price? I'm not interested in adding value to the house; simply to have another toilet for convenience with a growing family.
