The professional appraisal process consists of estimating the market value of property based on its condition, age, location, design, and amenities. A bedroom is a crucial factor that affects property valuations and may even be a deciding factor in determining whether a piece of property is worth buying.

In order to be recognized as a bedroom, a room must conform to certain criteria. Generally, the room should have a finished floor and ceiling, at least one window and closet, and a minimum room size of 70 square feet.

In some cases, attics, basement rooms, finished garages and converted living spaces, may also be classified as bedrooms. In these cases, the room must be finished with permanent ceiling and floor, have a window for egress, be adequately heated and cooled and measure at least 70 square feet.

In conclusion, when appraising property it is important to take into account whether the current layout meets the requirements for the number of bedrooms. In order to maximize a property's value, it may be necessary to make improvements to any existing bedrooms in order to meet the minimum market preferences.
