Are we allowed to remove the downstairs cloakroom in our new bulid?

Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.35 PM

We own a house that is approx. 3 years old, a two up, two down end of terrace. We have a perfectly adequate upstairs bathroom with wc and the downstairs wc seems like a waste of space for us. Are we allowed to do this? Will it devalue the property if we do so? It would certainly suit our needs much better as we would then have room for a dining table in our kitchen.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

you do not need any regs to remove wc but the pipework and drains would have to be capped and seald ,it will de value your home ,but keep all fitments and as go up the property ladder you can get all replaced

to jack,you would need to find out if any of the walls are supporting any walls above,if so you may need a lintel,your property is probably timber frame clad with brick.when you have the bathroom removed cap the main sewer pipe of below ground and cap off in wall the hot and cold feeds,when you come to sell they can have it but back if they require,they may ask for this cost to be taken of the asking price??? hope this helps jon wilson builders
