Would a water meter put you off buying a 4-bed, 2-bath family home?

[Aprexio]

DH and I are empty nesters and the family home is worth about £450,000. We're thinking of having a water meter which would definitely save us money.

But, we may downsize in a few years and think a family would be the most likely buyers (just as we were when we bought it).

Would a water meter be a deterrent to buyers?
Have you bought a house without one in preference to a home which did have a meter?

One of the bathrooms has a power shower, there's a built in dishwasher and it's a medium-sized garden which needs watering from the mains only in very dry weather.

Meters are compulsory here (greater London).

@FinnulaFloss your water rates are based on the old rateable value which is not the council tax band.

I moved from a higher band shared house to a lower banded flat. The water bill doubled. Different areas even in the same water company region can have different water rates.
