Why it matters when buying
This is the toilet placement both schools rate most serious, so it is the finding a future buyer's consultant is most likely to raise. Before you decide, check exactly where the toilet sits. Under the 16-zone school the north-east side spans three zones, and the eastern one, ENE, is neutral for a toilet.
Check North before you act
A toilet near a zone line can cross into the next zone if North is off by 10 to 15 degrees. Confirm North before you spend money on any remedy: how to find North.
