Now now - you forgot the laminate. Always remember the laminate.
Twigs in vases, and the smell of fresh baked bread/freshly brewed coffee too.
Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.

You also apparently need a "wow factor" but I can't seem to find anywhere that sells them.0

they are talking about England and Wales and not the whole of the UK, that includes Scotland and NI, not saying that accounts for all the difference0

You can still make a killing from property renovation/investment, you just need to buy smart.
An example might be someone buying a shabby terrace at auction for £80k, sorting it out and selling for £145k with a gross of £40k. Not unrealistic or uncommon. Timeframe of the renovation is of course vital too.
BTL with student houses can be very profitable too. A freind of a friend bought an auction property for similar purchase/sale figures above, but it had 5 bedrooms squeezed in (with appt amount of bathrooms) and he is getting about £80 per week for each room. So approx £19k per year which is pretty amazing.0 -

Some indices also exclude higher and lower priced properties.
That will also make a difference.:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

How can renovating a property and receiving a profit from this renovation be fundamentally wrong?
Who knows. It's a mad, mad world the bears live in.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”
