Leaping to the end, I just found this about the Windsor/mock tudor one:

Bought for: £425,000
Renovation budget: £62,000
Actual spend: £158,000
Sold for: £595,000
Profit: £12,000

... less fees, mortgage interest, stamp duty, solicitors .... and the overspend they hid/lied about.

"Valuations originally came in at £675,000, £685,000 and £695,000, so John and Patsy decided to put it on the market for £695,000. After eight months in a steeply declining market, they accepted an offer of £595,000, making them a gross profit of just £12,000."

Might as well give you the other one .. they're living in it:

Bought for: £600,000
Renovation budget: £250,000
Actual spend: £350,000

"Despite original valuations of £950,000, £1.1 million and £1.3 million, eleven months on, Andy and Amanda still haven’t managed to find a buyer for their house. They're currently living in it and waiting to see what happens to the market. But they’ve not hung up their development hats - and have just started two new ones."

So this programme will go back (that was written a year ago) and see what's happened.

80% of the programme is SB repeating where they are, their names, the length of the job, the budget ....

N'ah, s'ok. I' going to have to dash outside again in a minute anyway. The poultry are going in mid-property !!!!!! this week: two little'uns are already inside, the rest are all lined up watching the sunset (our chickens love a good sunset, they're so funny). They'll wander in in about 10-15 minutes and I'll have to shut them in quickly before the fox comes

One of them must be this:

Going by rough dates and prices.

Revisits are only good if you haven't actually seen the episode before.

But I think I'd probably end up divorced if I had to spend 4 months in a campervan with my family.

Did she really just say a large hall is always handy if you're having a party?

It looks truly awful doesn't it ... and TINY windows!!

It looks like they knocked a row of council houses together.
