Question is surely how much you spent on it.

£75k

Although that wasn't the question - they simply asked why the huge increase in value? I simply stated that I'd undertaken a full restoration and reminded them that I'd purchased at public auction therefore nothing underhand could have taken place with regard to my purchase of the property.

Impressive.

10 photos of the £1100 shed when there aren't even photos of all the bedrooms? wow. It looks quite nice (barring the stripey wallpaper), but if I were a buyer thinking about it I'd have been factoring in a clearly insane either estate agent or seller based on that priority split

It was with 3 agents only 1 did a decent job and it sold with the crappiest one go figure

Well done. Good job.

However, to balance it out, the market has moved up and that £25k gross is prob more like £23k and then you've been paying council tax and bills and its taken a year to do.

Still not bad but often people throw in the day job but £20k ish before tax seems ok but not worth giving up the day job.

Lighting makes a big difference, bedroom sizes and kitchen quality.
