    He reckons he beat the property slump- I don't think so!

    He just worked his !!! off for as Trollfever says- nowt!

    I wonder how many of the recent Property Ladder/Build a new life... etc would fared if we actually got to see real costings. All we ever see is how much it cost to do the house, never are their own living expenses or wages to themselves added.

    A lot of the programmes they really didn't need to lift a finger a couple of years ago. There they were not listening to what Beaney was telling em and the house was still going up in value, which she always liked to point out. Smug b. itch
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:

    What really bugs me is that it's programmes such as this that whipped so many people into an 'I can be a property millionaire' frenzy, and now you get them saying 'look how stupid this idea was'. Do they not think when they produce this cheap tv viewing?

    even in the current market it's still easy to become a property millionaire

    provided you start with about 1.3 million
    It's a health benefit ...

    I was quite surprised he forgot to add in the cost of the mortgage while fixing the place up :confused:

    Programme was quite lame I thought.
    Lame and dull.

    I think the best 30 seconds of "do up a house/make money" programmes I've seen to date was the woman sitting in her garden, outside the Art Deco house she insisted they renovate while Beanie told her it was worth £25k less than they'd spent on it.

    Priceless.

    Tina & Craig were the couple.
