Yet another failure yesterday with a massive loss. Not helped by the fact that one of them obviously forgot to lock up and mindless morons went in with a lump hammer!!
With the amount of money being lost, I'll be surprised if they do another series.0 -
Yes yesterday’s episode shows that they had no chance of making any money if there was no vandalism. It cost £7k to fix the vandalism and the loss was around £40k. There has been a couple of instances like this. Another thing is the odd high fees for cheap houses. It shouldn’t cost in excess of £20k fees on a house less than £100k. The program is very interesting but the format is not set up for successful property development.1
