Homes Under The Hammer - My House!

hazyjo

Apparently the house I've just bought was on Homes Under The Hammer once (elderly next door neighbour told me)! I think it might be series 5, episode 16 (from my google searching), but I can't find a copy of the episode online anywhere. Thought I was a google/youtube-freak and could find absolutely anything, but I'm totally stumped.

Anyone fancy a search - or anyone remember it?! Might actually not even be online anywhere (which would obviously be why I can't find it), but I would love to see it!

It's a 3 bed terrace in (North) Chingford.

According to Zoopla, it was sold in Oct 2005 and Aug 2006 - then I bought it this month. I'm presuming the HUTH buy was 2005 as it was sold in less than a year (for £60k more).

Thanks!

Do you know when the episode was broadcast?

Ah, unfortunately my archives do not go back that far.:(

Thanks both - that's the episode I think it is, citricsquid, but it won't play. Says it's not available on iPlayer

Kinda fascinating I know it had new windows and roof around that time, but would love to know more about it and what state it was in, and a bit of the history! Will talk to lady next door a bit more when I see her.

How about writing to Lucy Wotsit, she makes the progs as well as appearing in them. She might take pity on you and let you have a vid of the progam.

Excellent - will give that a try!

Might work. I contacted another Lucy (oddly enough!) at the Beeb about a programme I'd only half heard on the radio, before realising it was a deceased relation of mine they were speculating about. This was in the days before full-blown i-player.

I was able to give some background and the Lucy person sent me some disks, one of which I was able to send to the deceased's closest living relative.

Fab news - thanks Davesnave, that's very encouraging! Lovely story.

Well, you never know, they might want to do a sequel to the series, called "Homes Unhammered," where present-day owners show how they rid their properties of the magnolia paint and fitted carpets which covered a heap of sins! :rotfl:
