    yep! agree, but still just had to watch and was annoyed missed the last 10 minutes, had to get little one from pre-school!! Arrgghh, did the family house sell??


    look away if you dont want to know the answer to above question.....lol





    The guy who was looking for a house for him and his girlfriend offered £116k and it was accepted (£1k over the asking price). An investor also showed interest but wanted to offer between £90-£95k.... amazing what a lick of paint and new carpets can do!

    It did.

    Nothing new, just a little reminder perhaps to those trying to sell to look at it through 'buyers eyes'. Also is showed what can happen if you a good agent.

    utter drivel from glorified estate agent Spencer.

    where did he find a mug to offer over asking in this climate? was it one of his researchers?

    if he's so successful, how come Phil's company "Garrington Home Finders Ltd and cease trading in February 2009"? (Wikipedia)

    maybe because he's better at making fictional TV tosh about houses than he is at making a profit from real houses in a falling market.

    Has it mentioned anywhere that it will be repeated later on in the day? Any chance you could look out for me across the screen at the end and post on here if it is? Many thanks.

    Watched it ... nothing exciting or new. Basic stuff, if you want to sell,

    1) declutter,
    2) freshen up areas with a lick of paint
    3) tidy garden

    blah blah blah not rocket science
    yeah it was pretty basic

    Will set the Sky+ :) He is a bit of a plank, but I still like watching him. As for Kirstie, well, I'm not sure I'd say no and I'm a straight female... :p
