The reason you will never be able to afford to buy a house is because wealthy people are buying them to rent to people who can't afford to buy. The market is so unregulated and this results in prices being driven up. You shouldn't be happy to watch content like this.

It’s lovely you’ve priced it under-budget. I’m a young single mum of 2 and rent for my area is extortionate. Around £1300 and up for what I am living in but my landlord is like you and appreciates the struggles financially that young families have, and reduces the rent for me so that I can still afford to live whilst paying rent! Very kind of you x

I"m so glad you have a nice landlord Faye. When I heard what I could charge for that house I just felt really sad. I don't think many people would be able to afford it and also save for a house. The rental market is almost stopping people get on the property market and renting should be a stop gap before buying your own home yanno? Then again, I appreciate that some landlords need to charge the full rent and that I'm lucky xxx

If you are serious about saving for buying & in the UK I really recommend looking into a lifetime isa -I had a cash one and it was the only reason I was able to buy my flat.

You truly are the bestest egg, Lou. Well done for making that house family friendly rent, I've lived in so many that have been way above family budget but had no choice but to pay! :/ thankfully now we're in a housing association house, so the rent isn't extortionate

Your words about pricing & charges & safe spaces bought a tear to my eye. It's so refreshing and beautiful to see a landlord/lady show real care for their potential tenants; i'm so glad that you're using your privilege (in terms of having other revenue streams) for good instead of forgetting about the real humans who yearn for a safe place to call home as so many property owners do. I take my hat off to you X

Always are “hidden” costs when renovating but it looks really nice , modern but neutral so should last a long time. The bathroom looks fine!

My parents have extended our house over the years and we wrote little letters and put them in the walls before putting the window sills on! I think it’s such a sweet touch and I love thinking about people coming across them in years to come 🧡 great job, Louise! The house is looking gorgeous ✨ xx

My family did that too, I pretty much covered my grandparents wall in drawings when they decorated when I was young, adding on to existing ones from my mum and aunt from when they were kids. I'd have loved to have seen the new owners faces when they decorated 😂 I like to think they kept it and didn't paint over!

The house looks really great, you’ve done an incredible job! I think it’s so heart warming for you to offer this at a reduced rental price for the sake of a young family. Especially as this may give them the opportunity to still save towards a home of their own one day (which is sometimes impossible if renting) 😊

Such an amazing transformation! But also keeping the character of the house absolutely love what you have done with it.. we also put messages under tiling etc when we have redecorated and it's a lovely thing to do for years to come x

As I was watching this I just keep thinking how I'd love to live in a house of this style but I'd NEVER be able to afford it. Me and my fiance are saving as hard as we can and even though we have decent jobs, we don't earn enough to get a house anywhere near 200k as our wages dont cut the mustard and its a struggle to save a good deposit 😔 and we're 29 and 30 it's literally soul destroying. So.. As much as you could and would be well within your right to charge full whack for the house, I'd like to share my appreciation for that decision you made to help younger people seeing as you are able to 💕 I would do the same if I could. It would be so nice to live in a place with so many happy memories and a story to it. The house looks amazing and I'm sure you've done your grandparents proud xx

We have just bought a house and are the same age as you. We felt exactly the same and thought we'd never be able to afford to own our own home, but we decided to compromise on location (we both work from home so this was the thing easiest to compromise on). We bought a nice sized 3 bed house for a quarter of the price that we'd pay closer to the city. We're also a 10 minute walk to the beach!! So it is absolutely possible if you can decide to compromise on some of the bigger factors if that's a possibility for you! Good luck!

My sister is currently looking to rent, and she is a single mother with her 9 year old son. She wants to move so that she can get her son into a good secondary school, but keeps getting rejected because landlords don't like single parents with children. The system is so disappointing and society is set up to fail those who don't fit the "typical" family. Its heartbreaking to watch, so I am so glad there are landlords like you. Its heartwarming and gives me more hope for my sister.

I have to say you are beautiful inside and out!! Not many people would not charge the full price for renting. You’re a amazing example for your girls. You’re such a lovely and kind person and I’m sure your mum is full of pride. You really do rock at being a mum xxxx

What you said about your grandma having a photo of your mum on her bedside table genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Just wanted to express how much warmth I got from this video 💕💕

I loved this video. What you’ve done is absolutely lovely Louise, I’m so happy a young family can enjoy the house and not for full price. I’m 21 and I know the struggles of renting and trying to save 😫 🤍

That intro, Louise you’ve already made my day 😂💖

I’m always a fan of renovations but I really loved how you renovated without removing the character and history of the house. The changes you made are so pleasant and timeless. Thank you for sharing your memories and renovation with us ❤️

The house turned out so nicely! You will be a wonderful landlord. Don't fret about what you didn't spend. You made the house SAFE and functional.

I’m a 25 year old wife and mother of 2 and we bought our first house 3 years ago and to say that I got a shock when we bought our house was an understatement as we had no idea about anything regarding houses - price, renovations etc. When we done our bathroom up initially I was completely shocked with budgets etc and I how much things cost and I find that this video will be so useful for so many people! Would definitely have been for me when we started renovating! We are onto the kitchen next and will definitely be taking note of this. Thank you for going into great detail regarding everything price, time etc. Well done to you - house looks beautiful x

When my parents were doing the big extension (big compared to our 4 room tiny cottage!) We had to pour a concrete slab, in it we all put a small item in the foundation of our house it was lovely. And no matter what happens a representation of our family is in the house's foundations.

You’re a genuinely kind human being. God bless you, Louise x

Thank you for being so transparent about all the costs. So rare online and so so helpful!!

Wish there were more people like you in the world Louise! You have such a kind heart and watching your videos always makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! This would be such a dreamy place to rent, I hope the people who move in get so much joy out of it xxx

Louise, you have such a kind heart. We need more people like you, thank you for giving back to those less fortunate than you always. We love you, so glad you're back xxx

what makes this even more sweeter is how even after renovating the memories are still there!! 🥰 so special watching this process you’ve done amazing

as some one who has moved through various overpaid and underloved rentals in my life, thankyou for putting so much time and effort into this so a family can love and grow here. 💞

The house will give a family a wonderful, safe, affordable home. The world needs more altruistic peeps like you. Enjoy the remainder of the summer❤️

soo happy your back and im in love with what you've done with the house! I recently redid my parents bathroom in their home (on the cheap) using white marble contact paper, cut to size to fit the original outdated tiles. Honestly couldn't be happier with how it looks, the paper is waterproof and doesn't come off no matter how steamy the bathroom gets. but is also removable when you finally decide to redo it! Just a in expensive thought for you, not that there's anything wring with how it looks atm, just if you wanted to refresh it for the meantime. So glad your back and looking beautiful as ever!xx

the house looks absolutely gorgeous, it hits the perfect mark between being a blank slate for whoever is moving in and having its own personality, truly lovely. the subway tile and the sink in the kitchen are to die for and i love that you kept the little details of the house intact (also the doors! the doors are beautiful!) I'm sure whoever rents it will be very happy living there

Been waiting for this video for ages!! It looks so good. What a lucky family 🥰

The house looks brilliant. I’m sure this house will become a wonderful home for a family and be full of happiness & love xxx

As a young person who's been renting in London for the last few years and had some absolutely horrible experiences with landlords, it's lovely to see that there are some good ones out there. I'm consistently impressed with how you use your platform and privilege in a very positive manner and I'm proud to have been a subscriber for many years (and I'm sure many more to come!)

It’s so nice to see the house finished! I’ve been following the development for months, so satisfying! 😍

Thank you for recognising your privilege and then using it to help others!! That's exactly what we all need to be doing with our own privilege. Such a good example for your girls and your community.

You look GORGEOUS. That outfit is everything. This video is everything. You are the sweetest human alive and sound like a fantastic landlord. Beautiful house xx

It made me so happy to hear you talking about lowering the price for tenants. My mum has struggled for years to keep a roof over my younger siblings heads as landlords simply don't want to price rentals that would be workable for single mothers, so to see you being so conscious of who you want in the home is amazing to see. You should be extremely proud of yourself to know that the home which was once your safe haven will become that for another generation of children.

What a lovely job you've done to bring your grandparents house up to date. I hope the renter finds as much happiness in this home as your family did. Your a special woman and you've done an amazing job. Love your dress, you look beautiful.

God bless you, Louise. You have such a loving soul and I believe your mom is smiling down at how wonderful you are.

Tearing up right from the start hearing about your connection to the house and how your grandparents had it. My Nan sold her house a few years ago and I've since seen it on the renters market after the new owners have updated it and I feel all my memories of the place are forever lost now so much has changed. Such is life I suppose and now the family living there will make their own memories!

I absolutely LOVE how you’ve done the place up. I think you’ve made such smart decisions too, what with getting all the re-wiring done and the other essentials, rather than doing the bathroom seeing as it can wait, and is still in great condition. It’s the exact type of home I would love to move into, and it’s exactly the way I’d want to renovate it too, to someone else! Really big congrats Louise, you should be so proud that you’re offering such stability to someone, and that you genuinely care to give them the very best home. 💜🎉 I’m now thinking that we’re all going to be seeing you on Homes Under the Hammer in the coming year! I for one, would actually love to see you on there! 😂

I love this kitchen so much. The modern but cosy style is my favourite. And its so nice how the house is being rented for a family, the lower pricing etc.

Amazing transformation it’s a beautiful house that will make a lovely home for a young family! Those polystyrene tiles on the ceilings were all over my mum and dads house when they moved in I remember them saying they were painted orange and brown in some of the rooms and we had wood cladding on the walls of the house we moved into a few years ago the 70’s have a lot to answer for in interior design! Fab video love hearing you talk about the business side as well!

I love a house tour! Have been excited to see what you ended up doing with this house!

House turned out so lovely!! Well done Louise your grandparents must be so pleased. 🥰

Missed you!!!!
