You’re also improving a neighborhood…which likely will inspire others to make improvements. It’s all good! I’ll be watching as you pull off another magical transformation😊

I am very impressed with Edd's renovation skills and his business acumen. I hope he spoke to the police though. Crack houses don't fall out of the sky. They are located in neighborhoods of heavy drug users. You can board up the house, but the users don't leave. They will steal everything from the job site and sometimes destroy what they can't steal out of spite. Police cooperation will be crucial in making this project a success

Hey, just to say, he said "Squat House". i very much doubt it's a crackhouse,

@@ronareid7956 Crack House is a generic American term for drug user hangout. Crack has been replaced by fetanyl, an even more dangerous drug. You can be sure that Edd's house was a location for drug abusers. Bordeaux for instance has the Planterose DropIn Center, where users can exchange dirty needles for clean ones or get methadone. It's not to say don't rehab the neighborhood mind you, but you go in with eyes wide open.

Far more expensive than I thought but a good idea to renovate it, rent it out and sell it when the prices in the neighborhood have doubled.

You might consider putting a half bath in the downstairs area. That way you don't have to have your guests going anywhere near your bedrooms and if you have an elderly person or a disabled person visit, they won't have to use the stairs to visit the loo. A half bath can be tiny and located near any water supply.

I agree. Though I would call it a water closet. Basically a toilet and sink in a tiny room. Calling it a water closet gives you an idea how small the room is. You can even get toilets with a sink above the cistern so the soapy water goes into the toilet to be flushed out with the biological waste. This also saves on space.

Tuck it under the stairs. A half bath there or as a part of the utility room would be invaluable!

I thought anything under 200000 euros would be a steal. So, I was spot on and you stand to make a nice profit.

yeah people who think thats expensive have no idea what nice houses costs in decent areas in europe

The math works out. The space seems so claustrophobic. It will be good to see you work your magic on it. This should be great fun! 🧡

Hi Edd , I was far out ,last week I said 100,000 , but when you see the quartier , the quiet street , the other well kept houses . I should have realized that it would be much more . I am looking forward to the renovation . ( Maureen )

The community will be very happy to see that property upgraded. It is currently an eyesore and a hazard to neighbors🤗👏🏻

Proper bargain edd! especially as it’s in the center of bordeaux!!!! 🎉

Good job Edd and Anna. It will be good to see what you do. The plans sound great. 💕

Omg that’s a lot for that place, especially the shape it’s in in!

Location. Location. Location.

The price sounds like a solid investment. Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing what you do to the property. Blessings.

Considering the area it’s located in the price is understandable. I think many of us watch videos of lesser priced areas. The plans look interesting, an indoor outdoor room will certainly be more attractive to renters. Can’t wait to see what Anna’s plans are for bedrooms.

This will be an exciting project to watch! I love the indoor/outdoor arrangement for the downstairs!

I live in the United States and googled the euro amounts to dollars, and I don’t think you’re crazy at all. That building was a freaking steal even with the “bits & bobs” added.

Well my guess was wrong but when you gave the average prices around there it did make a lot more sense. Can't wait to see this transformation!

Should be exciting to watch this transformation! Love the plan/layout.

That outdoor area can be made amazing. most apartments in the US have 0 green space and that is what I missed the most when I lived in an apartment briefly. Someplace to grow some flowers or herbs is nice and a place to eat outside will be nice. Good luck and can't wait to see demo days begin!

You add value! But the most important part is you are going to enjoy something you love doing! Renovating! Making an old dump, look great!!

I thought for sure you gave a bid on this property...and of course the notory and taxes add on to the price. Wonderful affair Edd,it will be another beautiful home when finished.❤😊

WITH A HANDY MAN LIKE YOU, EVERY THING IS POSIBLE, GOOOOD LUCK!!!

Fantastic. We'll done Edd and Anna for having the imagination and the energy and enthusiasm to move forward on this amazing project. ❤

Edd you are an absolute genius at your multiple craftsmanship I can't wait to follow this one I know it will be amazing , I bet it will be the most beautiful in the village

Really great buy Edd and Anna! This is going to be fun!

I thought you’d paid far more given where the property is. You all got a great deal in an up and coming neighborhood. You ran the numbers before buying and determined on the front end what you’d make when the reno was done. Smart investment! I can’t wait to see what you do.

Great plans for something new and exciting!!! 🥰🎶❤️

I thought the price was extremely high even for Bordeaux considering the terribly state it is in. I absolutely know that you will make a fantastic job of it seeing what you have accomplished in your other projects. I wish you all the best for this project. Please safe gard your things whilst doing it as it looks like a bit of an area where people might think that the stuff is theirs fir the taking. I hope that it will bring that area into a more up and coming community when people see what a fantastic jib you do , they might want you to do the sane for them. Good luck to you both. Xx

Great investment. I know you will turn the house into a jewel box. Your neighbors will love you for bringing value and beautifying the neighborhood. Cheers to you both. Let’s do this. 🎉🎉❤

Love watching the two of you sending lv Ann uk congratulations on your new home 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️

Once you run the numbers, it's a no brainer. Now I know why Anna was so calm. The timing is excellent. I love it.👍👍

Thank you for sharing the details of your costs and plans for the property. You were able to see what others have apparently missed in terms of making it financially viable. Really creative and interesting. Looking forward to the build.

That's a fabulous house and site., The outside is fab and inside, a lovely quirky shape.. You did well !

Sounds like a great plan. Bordeaux is a high value area and I’m pleased to think you will be part of that. The unusual shape really screams out for your modern/chic approach to design. Someone will have a fabulous home in a country where rental is the norm for many.

I forgot it was in Bordeaux center ! Of course you are paying for the location. Any which way it will be lovely in your capable hands !

How awesome to show the whiteboard so everyone can understand both upfront and ongoing costs! Brilliant idea The idea for downstairs and the garden makes perfect sense - particularly with bi-folding doors to really open up the space indoors and outdoors. 2 or 3 ensuite bathrooms too! That's going to be amazing Totally behind you on this project. Although others are 'doing renovations' you really are a master builder and a master team and will turn squalor into glamour! Love your work Team Lagorce!

Edd I never thought you would invest in an opportunity without a great idea. I think this is going to be fantastic. Good on you and Anna!!

Obviously a great deal for an experienced do it yourself builder. Particularly when this is fundamentally production script for your channel. Future value and rental income will be tremendous.

Ed I don’t think your a mad man I think you and Anna are smart creative and so very talented!😊. I’m behind you on this one Ed how wonderful and exciting this project will be!❤❤❤ you and Anna!

Wow, but it will be stunning when it's done. Good luck and I can't wait to see the progress.❤

I have been enjoying your family and this channel, from the very beginning. It has been special, watching you both, the children and your numbers grow!! Bravo! This edition seems to have a tone of exclusivity. Many of us who have supported different channels without being in a position to be a patron...find there seems to be a bigger shift in the gains..and have increasingly lost the intimate personal side of sharing. I think that is one of the most important ' ingredients ' that draw us in. Please don't change ❤️ Your channel is different and unique! All the best with the future project! Can't wait to watch the magic! 🇨🇦

Wow Edd, sounds like a tremendously exciting project! So looking forward to see you and Anna perform your magic on this abandoned place. Thanks for showing us the layout, always super helpful. Bon chance you two!

I’m excited to see what you will do to this house. I know it will be stunning. God luck with your new adventure.

Wow, that was a sticker shock. Glad the numbers work for you. Strapping in with the popcorn and looking forward to the upcoming vlogs. I am sure they will be informative and creative.

Ed if you pull this renovation off you are a master builder. I still think you are a little nuts but I guess that is what makes the world go round as they say. If my husband had come to me with this idea Anna, I would have told him he was crazy!!!!! Can't wait see what you do first with the build, other than gutting the whole inside of the building. Good Luck, Kathy USA

Super excited to see how amazing yall make the new project.

Aside from being a squat hole at the moment, the building and location are wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes along. Smart of you to keep it as a rental property.

Location, location, location! Between you and Anna, this will be fabulous.

I knew I liked Edd for a reason - fellow Left-hander!

I trust you both to produce something spectacular for us all to see as you have done before! Good for you! Can't wait to see this one come to life.

As the saying goes "one persons madness is anothers normality". I love your vision Ed, if you don't follow your dreams & create the things you're passionate then what's life all about❤

I'm watching to see you pull another rabbit out of the hat. It's always illuminating. Love your optimism. I don't think Louis was too sure about your next project. Probably afraid he'd fall down the hole in the kitchen floor. 😄

I'm sure you realize what a trooper Anna is! 🤭 And you Edd are amazing!!!! I enjoy you both so much! Much love from Utah ❤️

I would’ve yelled! lol God bless Anna for all her patience through these renovations. Thanks for sharing your projects with us. It is so fun to watch.

Congratulations!! Sounds like a great investment. I can't wait to see it.

Edd, we call it-THE MONEY PITT.

It will be interesting watching you create another home Anna and Edd😊❤

I’m eager to see the renovation! One suggestion, put a water closet downstairs. The cook should not have to go up and down the stairs to use the toilet. 😁

Not for one minute did I ever think you'd buy something that wasn't a good investment. You and Anna are smart business people. I'm guessing you are both up to the work involved 😉Looking forward to seeing the new project progress.

I am dazzled by your plans......looking forward to watch the progress! Bordeaux Life is one of my most favorite! Keep up the great work! Bye from Northern California!

Edd,Anna my try anything once couple. This project for me is a big jump from the past projects. Good luck and look forward to seeing the finished results. Till next time. Take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🍺🌞👍❤️🇺🇸🕊🌹🌈😇🙏

The main timbers are solid. Replacing the elegant and very tall doors will be stunning and so distinguish this corner home from the others. The rest of it, once the trash is hauled away, will be fun to watch. 🎉 carry on, boss.

Good job! It’s going to be a top notch place!

Interesting Edd, Can't Wait To See What You Do With the House. X 🏡😘

Looks like a wonderful project. Enjoy the process 😁If I may suggest, please include in your plans a powder room downstairs

The location of your project will also be very suitable to a lot of buiness people, so you won't have any problems renting this place out when finished. You are doing the town a big favour by transforming this building into a lovely home, which no doubt it will become. Thank you for sharing and I'm looking forward to watching you and Anna renovating in a few months time. 💕🇦🇺

Good luck with the improvements on the building.👏

I enjoyed the Breakdown cost of your new Project Ed so very interesting how the French do it. Thank you and look forward to the renovation

I guessed $85k, not knowing anything about the Bordeaux market. Will be fun to watch this project move forward. It's a beautiful building.

I’m totally excited for you both 🥰🥰

It's going to be amazing. Can't wait.

Looking forward to seeing the work start guys

Great vlogg edd n Anna looking forward to the transformation going to a be a journey for you both sending you both lots of prayer for success.❤

Love the opening. . . cups down . . . 😂

Excited 😁, can't wait to see what you do too the place..love how you're going to break it all down, interesting 😊💕👍🇨🇦

Good shot Bordeaux is becoming unaffordable knowing it’s just 2:30 in high speed train from Paris . Congrats

Can't wait to see what you both create Anna & Edd. Enjoy your vlogs. Im a long time viewer. ❤

Sitting here at the bottom of the world in New Zealand watching with insane interest on your renovation project… I Absolutely love ❤️ the old French buildings and historical stuff and learning about the value of these projects… dreaming about the only if’s from way down here …

Great episode! Thank you all for making and sharing this!

With you and Anna at the head of this project Ed, I have full confidence that it will be a real success! I think having money invested in rental properties is a good thing to do for your family’s future.🥰🙏🏻

Wow how exciting a reno in the centre of Bordeaux!

Ed, thank you for showing us your plans and taking us on your journey. Love your channel Excellent information

I don’t always have time to watch your videos but I’m glad I saw this one. Thanks for explaining and sharing. 😀👍

No Doubt when you're finished with your magic, you and Anna will have another masterpiece to offer your followers to gush over!!! 😍🤤BTW, I really love the fact that your kitchen is so modern for a chateau that's as old as Lagorce is!! Brilliant spin as always Ed.😉🙃

Thank you for sharing 😊

Good luck Edd and Anna I’m looking forward to watching your progress on this new project ❤

Confession time!! I live in Florida, U.S. I just got back home from a vacation to Georgia and Tennessee. (Awesome trip, swimming in crisp, cool, mountain-fed lakes, mountain coasters, and wild animals on the way (deer, turkeys, if you know, you know) I am so glad to be back home in my own bed, but I love most for Internet connections to watch my FAV Chateau folks. :)

Can't wait to see your transformation of this little property. I think it will be amazing.

Looking forward to more magic and innovation on the rental project . Seems like an expensive project coming from where I live in the USA considering the square footage of the property. But France is different, I'm sure. Crack On!

Can’t wait to see your idea’s

Thank you for sharing.

I am so excited to see this project start. I admire the two of you so much.

Looks to be a most interesting build! Looking forward to watching you do your magic!!

It looks like an excellent plan and a very good investment. I look forward to watching the renovation process with Edd’s excellent building skills and Anna’s beautiful decorating skills.

Plans look so exciting..good luck …I just know it’s going to be another great achievement

Great times ahead,

All very interesting to see what certain areas of this world are valued at. Thanks Ed for the info, and thanks Anna for the video!

An ambitious project! If anyone can do up this house, it is Edd and Anna. Interesting to see the purchase process and the plans. Good luck❤️🙏

You are such a hard worker Edd and are able to see the beauty and investment possibilities in everything. I’m shocked but of course I’m with you and Anna every step of the way. I can’t wait to see your vision come true. Your friend in Vermont, USA ❤

Glad you found a built to sink your teeth into for the time being and keep us entertained with your rwno skills. You two arw amazing. Love watching you.

Looking forward to watching this transformation.

Such a great couple you are, so creative and free ; and I was awed by Edd and Anna at cam, riveted as I was by a demo on real estate and loving EVERY SECOND of it: so unassuming and humble yet so thorough in everything you do, and well...too many words to say, genius! And thanks so much
