So this is on iPlayer now. For those that don’t have time to watch it, the following is a short summary:

Spoiler alert (click to expand)

A couple bought a terrace house on Stondon Park at auction for £550k. They estimated it would cost £90k and 12 weeks to do up, and had some prior experience on renovation. Possibly problems were some damp and subsidence/slippage.

Some time later it was complete and looked stunning. It actually took 7 months for the building works and another 2 months finishing. They ran over budget to £110k, but went for a higher standard of finish and didn’t have to underpin the property. As I said, it looked stunning and they also moved a lot of walls, though for some reason they didn’t convert the loft.

In the end it was valued at £800k. And they had a dear little baby! Congratulations to them all :slight_smile:
