You are, of course, free to replace whatever bog standard £50 toilet they provide with one of your choice.

I saw what you did there :T

Many older properties have the toilet and wash facilities separate. However, often the toilet has no sink meaning you have to open/ close the door before washing your hands and then go straight to the bathroom (which kind of defeats the purpose of having them separate!).

One possible solution if you have little space - understairs loo, for example - is something like this

A whole lot better than no sink at all, and usually the grey water flushes the loo.

I'm surprised that isn't mandatory either, again pretty common in other countries. Saves a decent amount of water.

We're not in Japan and there's a whole other raft of better energy saving measures that need to be mandated before four figure toilets.

Four figures?!?

A basic washlet seat is about 30 quid, 50 quid if you want heating too.

Rather reminiscent of one of these though! http://http://www.cxkuge.com/stainless-steel-prison-combination-toilet.html

Once you go off plan on a development with standard houses there will be building regs and potentialy planning changes for the developer.

Knocking through separate facilities has been the trend on older houses for years.

I suspect that a water pistol would be more accurate.

Would suit the cheap developer toilet perfectly.

We have recently bought a new build three bed detached house. It has three toilets, the mandatory downstairs loo with wash hand basin, the main bathroom and then the en suite shower room to the main bedroom.

You could easily convert one of these to a wet room if you wanted but what would be the benefit?

Changing loos isn't difficult if you dont like what is installed by the developers.

You are unlikely to get a developer to change the house type design for you as they are standard house types and everything is pre ordered in bulk to keep costs down. So even a minor change to a house could cost them.

if you don' t like the toilet in th ensuite then don't use it- simples.

We lived on an estate in Buckinghamshire where all the house had a separate toilet and bathroom. As said you had to go from the toilet to the bathroom to wash your hands.

Most people knocked them into one room.
