    Typical no-no in a property development: go with what makes business sense, not because your heart tells you to do!

    The couple with the massive basement are barking.

    They've bought a house in Chiswick (about a mile away from the popular high st) and are digging out a massive basement. I think they've bought it for 400K, plan to spend 200K, and sell it for 900K, making 300K profit.

    Hmm.

    its a farce, that women who owns the house is annoying, all these people just jump on the bandwagon of property development.

    makes me laugh the advice Sarah Beey gives - most people ignore - yet shes the one with a fortune and the houses to her name
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Exactly - if you're lucky enough to have Sarah Beeny advising you, why wouldn't you take her advice?!

    I'd be scared of those numbers even in a rising market... seems a tad over-optimistic (greedy).

    That £200k budget has blown away with the wind, I'm sure.

    They're totally loopy. Totally. Even my husband wouldn't do that and he's a mentalist.
