The couple who decided to keep the house and rent it out made me laugh when she said i know what i want, im a interior designer and we will do it again

Yeah, I just love the way that people won't move on. I mean, I understand that they wanted more than the 8k profit after all of their work, but to hang onto that property in a falling market will ensure that they'll lose much more. They will need to hang on to it for the next 5-10 years to get prices back up to 2007 levels.

It's this 'stalemate' situation that will make this housing crash long and deep. Seller's insistence that they 'know what the property's worth' just means lots of cheap rentals and less property's to sell. In the meantime we'll have a whole generation of youngsters and young couples who will have to put their lives and families on hold until either the market corrects itself or banks start lending at silly 2007 levels again and that's no good for anyone (apart from Fred Goodwin).

She was actually a banker or stockbroker, or something similar... not a property-developer or interior designer.[/QUOTE]


HILARIOUSLY - SHE WAS A BANK MANAGER!! ::rotfl::eek:: :rotfl::eek::rotfl:
and her husband jsut sat there going "when we bought this no one could see a property crash coming" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::T:rotfl::rotfl:

Stupid bathroom in the cottage. Normal bath and a proper separate shower would have been so much better. I couldn't have bought a done up house that I'd need to change the bathroom of.
Silly people.

Still love the "but we've done this house, it's therefore so special that people will queue round the block to pay over the odds for it"

NO THEY WON'T!!!

It'd worry me, having all that weight, even though the beams were retrospectively reinforced, you'd never really know if they'd been done properly, or at all.

And ... if you decided to take the bath out, would it fit through the door? They got it in before the bathroom was built didn't they?

I just watched this show and can now see why we're in such an economic mess. Every muppet and their dog thinks they can make a million developing property. :eek:

I will confidently state that there are 101 things that make this country more f**ked up than a few people painting some walls white, making two rooms in to one and making some cash out of it.

How much longer will we have to listen to people saying "When the market recovers" or "When prices return to normal"?

It ain't gonna happen.

But the shower was funny.

Yup even my skinny 9 year old would struggle with the width of the shower curtain. The curtain would stick to an adult when pulled around them.:rotfl:

When the free standing bath went in even my 14 year old DD said 'that ain't going to work mum'! She roared laughing when La Beeny so vividly pointed this out at the end of the show!

i suppose it would be okay to jet wash yah bottom!!!:D mind you it didnt look like a power shower.

The problem with these programmes are these people create the property to their own tastes, and to be honest if beeney would not have pointed them in the right direction imagine what kind of !!!!!! they would have been in now??

Before people have got away with it, as they were buying houses that were in any state, now people can afford to be fussy.
