What actually matters - your advice needed

[awesomekillick]

We have inherited a Doer upper, typical 2 bed St Albans Terrace house, in bad condition that needs total refit to make rentable. Target market young family.

On a scale of 0 = not at all important and 5= essential, how do you feel about....

1. Bath in bathroom
2. Bathroom and toilet downstairs
3. Front door opening straight into living room
4. Decent size second bedroom
5. Washing machine in (nice) outside shed

My Family and I have very different takes on what is important to people!

St Albans is favoured commuter territory, so why not look at young professionals as target market?

Happy with D/S bathroom, probably prefer shower to bath, appreciate study / office space in second bedroom, not fussed if the washing machine is in a (good) shed.

Also bear in mind that MN is not typical and is populated with lots of people who cannot contemplate anything other than detached with a garage and off street parking.

I live in an area of terraces, full of young families, the vast majority have downstairs bathrooms and the door into the front room.

I would ask a local estate agent as well as MN.

The capital outlay to move the bathroom sounds huge and compromises other space. Would you ever get it back?

Decent sized second bedroom would be my preference

Washing machine in shed I would find off putting

Prefer upstairs loo but lived for years with downstairs bathroom... it's what I could afford at the time .

Happy with no Bath but that's no good with small children as will affect saleability

Front door into main room, we had this but it was a quiet road
