One thing’s for certain: the science of successful property development is frustratingly fickle. Many commercial improvers reckon that, to attract optimum value, homes should be arranged with as many rooms as possible. Others believe it’s the quality — and not the quantity — that attracts premium uplift at outgoing sales time. For the record, we can be found (generally speaking) in the latter camp. And besides, as we frequently report, your home’s greatest “return” should be measured on a daily basis. It’s not always about a dollar quotient.

Rules vary, of course, from neighbourhood to neighbourhood; homes within school catchments can attract a higher sales price due to elevated bedroom count, whereas fewer bedrooms — and perhaps a better kitchen — might be the Holy Grail in an enclave favoured by retirees. This balance considered, we set about maxing up on the lifestyle factor for the inhabitants of this project — soon to be empty nesters — who longed for space to spread out.

As much as their decision had been made, our clients only decided to embark upon their transformation after careful discussions with their 17-year-old son, who occupied the bedroom next to theirs. Happy relocating to a vacant room at the other end of the house, he was also quick to point out that it wouldn’t be long before he’d completely fly the coup. Had their son been 10 or 12, we’d have been less inclined, perhaps, to side with his parents, but being that he was veering towards adulthood, it seemed perfectly acceptable to go with the familial flow.

And if we hadn’t sanctioned change? Well, the room would almost certainly have languished in the past and, take it from us, we’ve espied legions of bedrooms, vacated by teens, that remain shrines to the kids who once lived there. Emblazoned with Farrah Fawcett posters or boy band pictures — or for those of a gentler persuasion, Forever Friends artwork — they allude only to days gone by. We endeavour to be tactful as we remind empty nesters their kids probably aren’t coming back ... especially if, by the time we visit, they’ve graduated from university, married or indeed have kids of their own!
