Anybody else watching this? It has the usual BBC daytime 'stars' - Dominic Littlewood, Kristian Digby, Martin from HUTH - showing us how to cope when we can't sell our house, our BTL's have tanked, being repo'ed etc. etc.
Quite a lot of stating the flipping obvious, but some sad stories. Small bit today about a retired couple who were persuaded to invest £300k in new-build flats in Yorkshire via a property company. Inflated prices, rent not as high as claimed etc. Some sad tales about people who sold and wanted to rent-back.
Less sympathy for the woman in Liverpool who bought 6 BTL's and was now struggling to pay for them all. Martin gave her a plan to make them work, but seemed a typical story of someone who had overstretched themselves and never imagined that property could go down in value or the BTL market become saturated.
We will be seeing more shows like this now you can no longer make those 'How to make money from property' shows.

Bit late to ask... no idea if I have such a channel.
I have freeview, but I am unfamiliar with the channels I can get so tend to stick with numbers 1-9 which is where most stuff seems to be.0 -
I've been researching this, it's not BBC ... it's Sky.
