Never have I been as stunned by what this couple bought in the end! Whatever was the appeal of a grotty bungalow on a slope near a main road - that they tore down inside and thought it would take 60-70k to develop! Anyone with any sense would have pulled it down and started again.

Anyone with sense would not have bought it at all at the price they paid. The vendor must be rubbing his hands to get rid of it.

I live in the North Somerset area and am going to try and find out where they are and how its all going! Watch this space - I think I know where it is.........

I'll be watching this space for sure.

Can't believe how stupid this couple were paying £350,000 for that place. Like others I assumed they would pull it down and build a large house, but after what they paid I could see that it would be a very costly idea. But that aside, the sloping garden, and it was really sloping, means that the children will have no where decent to play, unless major work is done to make level areas and terraces. How short sighted of this couple to be blinded by the acre of garden! An acre of garden is only valuable if you can make decent use of it. That looked only suitable for sheep to graze on.

As to the fact that they had done well over the last 5 years selling 3 properties! Lets be honest, everyone was making money before the housing market collapsed. You could buy a house, do absolutely nothing and put it back on the market a few weeks later, and would have still made a good profit in most cases, such was the madness of house prices rising before the crash. So this doesn't show any particular brilliance on their part, just luck and having decent incomes to start the ball rolling.

Infact, paying that amount of money for such a place only last summer 08, when the market had already ground to a halt and was falling, shows how completely stupid this couple are. I wouldn't be surprised if the £150,000 they had left from not buying a 2nd home, is completely eaten up refurbishing this place. Would be interested to know what value it is now after all the costs!

I live in North Somerset too, but the fact that people ask £360k+ for buildings like that bungalow is the reason I won't be stopping much longer!

I'd guess it is within spitting distance of the M5 if the guy worked near Reading.

If its on the road I think it is - it is indeed a couple of miles from the M5. It is in a very snobby upmarket area where the address just says 'money'.

Therefore it would appeal to the woman in the show - its basically 'all top show' as my grandmother would say....money but no substance, nor personality.

That woman could spend her hubby's money faster than he could earn it. But I feel it was all wasted on that dump - one garden we had was on a very slight slope and not good for kids at all.

I shall be mooching past the road I think they are on - a long one on the way to Bristol - to see if I can see anything to report......

Again, the show just goes to prove that money doesn't always buy you taste or class or brains even..

I'm always a bit surprised at the vitriol for K & P, the show is just that a show - entertainment.

I would like to Build a New Life, in A Place in the Sun, but I know there will be No Going Back, so I have stayed here.

I don't partularly aspire to Grand Designs and my Location, Location, Location isn't too bad. I have no desire to climb any further up the Property Ladder in case I fall off and land with such Ground Force that I end up with one of those Homes Under the Hammer, which might create a bit of DIY SOS.

I might have get the House Doctor in, who will probably say, How Clean is Your House and tell me I need to be Changing Rooms or Selling Houses.

I get quite peeved at OH, who when he is in Top Gear is a Masterchef, says, Ready, Steady, Cook.

I still haven't Escaped to the Country and I still don't know How to Look Good Naked or What Not to Wear.

And it really Isn't Easy Being Green in a semi-dee, where it's not possible to find much Wild Food at the bottom of the garden, and Extreme Survival techniques seem similarly out of place. Certainly, if one tries to enjoy The Good Life by introducing a few chickens and pigs, one is likely to find The Planners Are Coming. It's just a symptom of our Big Brother society.

You don't Look Good Naked and I look worse, but Who Dares Wins, so I'm gonna Pimp My Ride, go on a Fat March and then, who knows, maybe a Wife Swap. I could be The Last Man Standing if I could make Trinny & Susannah Undress!
