If this happens you will just be giving someone a free toilet.

Whereas you're just trying to repeatedly sell us the contents of it.

Thanks all for the comments - I should have explained that we are not selling immediately but probably in the next year or so and would find an ensuite very useful ourselves in between then and now as we only have one bathroom (bath, toilet, basin) in the whole house (3/4 bed bungalow).
Agreed neither is the perfect solution but was wanting advice on which would me more attractive to buyers when we come to sell.
However - I do totally take the point that ultimately we need to do exactly what we want if we're going to live with it for a bit but as we were struggling to decide that - I thought I'd see if there were any strong opinions for when it came to selling that might help us decide!
MT :-)

Floor plan would help

There are a few smart people here that may spot an option you have not thought of.

In which case the more appealing your house, the better! (Not read link but can guess the gist.) Have already said it prob won't add value (in any market).

Not sure what house sales slumping by a third has to do with the contents of a toilet? Maybe you just don`t like what is happening in the housing market, is that it?

Mix the contents with a male bovine, and you're very close to describing that claim.

I have no problem with the reality. You, otoh, have a lot of problems with reality.

It is a typo about the price (prices need to drop by much more than that) and just tells us what many know already, that until prices crash house sales will keep dwindling away as FTB`ers desert the market. It would have added some value in the crazy free credit bubble years IMO, there would have been lines of people waving their sealed bids around, thankfully no more though

Seems to have picked up where I am. Got an offer only £5k under the asking price, and my buyer's flat sold on the open day to a FTB - with a queue of others out the door.


Perhaps it was as I predicted whereby people don't like a deadline so stayed put until the election and all the Brexit chat - the market will obviously experience static periods on and off over the next 2+ years because of Brexit.
