Fantastic transformation .....for those interested....House bought for £190,000, £60,000 over guide price. They spent £37,000 to do the renovation..so total outlay was £227,000. Auctioneer valuation was a rental income of £1000 to £1100 per calendar month. If sold on the open market, the house would achieve somewhere between £260,000 to £270,000. But Colin reckons he could get £280,000.

So what's the deal with the loud music? You can hardly hear what Lucy has to say. Either do it right or don't do it at all.

Who edited that bolshy music over her voice?

Why do people buy Victorian houses and then make them look like Barratt homes?

Because we aren't in the 1800s any more and it's part of modern living

Some of us like the character of old houses. Mine is modern but sympathetically done to reflect its age

Much improved for living. Kitchen is the only real thing that stands out as mismatch to the character of the house. This was a investment property and the remodel shows it. Remodel seems made for a general idea of what people want. Clean and spacious. Kitchen was just a let down, should have rounded off the counter tops to match the cabinet shape and gave it a elegant victorian touch.

Well done. It is nicely restored. Beautifully renovated. Thumbs up.

dont u guys check the videos before u upload them? the music is annoying and so much louder than the talking

That box room was a mistake,completely pointless. Should've kept it as one or like Lucy said an en suite.

I hate when people destroy these characterful Victorian homes with their tacky laminate flooring, white walls and glossy cabinets. “Let’s make the whole downstairs one large room”

they do that because that's what sells..........that's what people want. Just because you wouldn't want that isn't cause to complain and pick holes.

M M12345 I agree - it’s one thing to restore and bring back to former glory ; another to strip away all character and charm for blah renovations. Thank God for historic preservation societies. If people want a “modern” look get a modern/ contemporary home or new construction

I understand what you say they should keep as many features as possible but when these horses were built, people were happy to just have a house, i think because of how small British homes are we deserve to maximise the space we are given because my god our houses are small

I love watching these programs whilst sitting on the toilet, taking a large dump

I love these big Victorian houses I hope to have one one day :)

It looks the house The Young Ones was filmed in.

I wonder if I will ever live to see the day when it is no longer fashionable to have a bald back garden.

How do people let their houses get into such a bad condition.

I find it odd an American watching homes under the hammer 😂 focus on your houses in the states they're so much nicer haha

Check the bricks...it looks like there is a lot of tuckpointed needed-VERY expensive!

music is wayyyy too loud- cannot hear what you are saying..

Cool nice 👍 🙏👼🍀

Are those Himalayan blackberries???

What a disappointing makeover. The modern basic interior is a complete mismatch to the charming architecture of the period. Shame.

I agree. Victorian house turned Barratt home.

Too much music it’s not party

I'm pretty certain this was where Mr Bean lived!

Madness to have painted over the original stone work with paint! The rest is not very good either...

Yes, they destroyed the period look and turned in into something of bad taste.

Music FAR too loud!! Noticed there is basement under the house, funny this wasn't mentioned,?

Whoever edited this, we could do without the stupid loud music, it drowns out what Lucy was saying, I didn't hear a word of it. At least check what you are doing before you inflict it onto other people

Totally ruined the character didgraceful

How did they get rid of the character? They did keep the fireplaces and the original 1890s doors
