A friend wants to remove the only bath in the house and replace it with a new stand alone shower. Are there any implications for building regulations? Are there any implications for the value of the house if it has to be sold at some time in the future?

Thanks,
aj

There is a part of the Building Regulations dealing with drainage and with hygiene. However, unless your friend is going to do something improbable, it is unlikely that the Building Regulations will have an effect -
the most important aspect is that a house is supposed to have a shower/bath with hot and cold water. If the work is only internal (i.e. not involving digging up sewerage pipes etc., you'll be fine.

As said the other thread covers the other aspects you enquired about.
