How do Appraisers Classify a Bedroom as a Bedroom?
The bedroom may be where the magic happens, but CMP needs a little more than magic when classifying a bedroom. So what makes a bedroom a bedroom for your home appraisal? Whether it’s a Virginia Beach home appraisal, Chesapeake home appraisal, Norfolk home appraisal, Suffolk home appraisal, Newport News home appraisal, Hampton home appraisal or Portsmouth home appraisal, the criteria for a bedroom will stay the same:
Room must be at least 70 ft 2
Ceiling height at least 7 ft
Two points of ingress and egress
Automatically heated with the rest of the property
Window openings at least 24 in x 20 in
Sill height no more than 44 in above the floor
The biggest take away here is, in your heart of hearts, does the room truly function as a bedroom…ie, would you have your mother stay in it if she came to visit? CMP looks forward to serving your home appraisal needs!
