    I do wonder sometimes if these people never intended to sell, they just want to do up a house and get on TV. No developer in their right mind would spend money on corian worktops all over the house and fishtanks in the kitchen.

    I think what they did with that house was revolting anyway – horrible white square box squandering natural resources...and a fish tank in the kitchen. What inferiority complexes these people must have!

    Just watched this episode.

    Got the impression the Stanmore couple only ever wanted to live in it and were using Beenie to get them discounts on products.
