It does work better in a bouyant housing market but the main problem is when people do the house up to their (often more expensive/flamboyant) taste, rather than being very neutral about the whole thing.

Are there no rules in that area on what colour you can paint your house? Presumably the Clifton Hill and Seven Dials areas are all white because they are conservation areas. By the way, was Sarah Beeny getting Hanover and Queens Park mixed up?

Not necessarily. You can make money in a flat market as long as you get it at a low enough price and are capable of doing the work yourself which he quite clearly wasn't. He blew £3500 on tradesmen that he said at the beginning he would do himself.n1 gull said:
This series is going to be full of failures because the market has slowed right down so all these idiots who think it's easy because prices have been rising and giving a false picture of the value of their developments are going to get stung. It's going to be great.

By the way, there was another property programme on not all that long ago, called the Block. They took a group of arty types (I think from London), and put them into 4 houses in Vine Street that were just shells and told them to develop them as they pleased. One was for sale a few weeks ago for some stupid price (I think for about £375,000).

375,000 is that what one went for, what f***ing mug bought that then. I think anyone who is deciding to get a house at this time is now asking for trouble, I do not see it going up any further, it may stabalise a bit, but I cant see it going up.

Shit programme. It's the same every week.

Grand Designs is a much better show.
