Why doesn’t he raffle it off? Like a Matt Armstrong rebuild that might be otherwise difficult to sell.

Given this wording on the listing, I don’t think has any say anymore:

He tried to sell it to Omaze apparently but they were not interested

Must be a lost cause if omaze were not interested, they seem to specialise in houses that are problematic or unsaleable. A lot of them are immediately put on the market because of operating costs

Looking at the Rightmove listing, it looks like it’s being sold on behalf of the receivers ?

With planning permission granted for a helipad……..this property will live long in the folklore of Grand Designs……..

What a massive shame he never got to enjoy living there and lost his family because of it. The agent photos make it look quite stunning and I can imagine once it's finished it would be. I've spent the last 18 months on an extensive house renovation that has come close to driving me mad at times and I can't imagine not being able to enjoy everything I've worked had for and losing everything

I may be in the minority, but I genuinely felt sorry for him.

On the contrary, I think the majority feel a bit sorry for him. Well, certainly on this thread at least.

Huge respect for the bloke and his wife.

I know him professionally. odd chap

The wheels have finally fallen off, it's astonishing that they stayed on so long really. Now he has the opportunity move on, because it's out of his hands. It was an ultimate example of a hole that just kept being dug. I wish him well.

We've just gone through this entire series over a few days. Quite enjoyed it, something different yet similar in approach.

We’ve been enjoying this and I think Tinie has been presenting it really well.

Me too, some amazing extensions (and prices to match).

Anyone watching tonight’s? Those cracked welds, now carrying on with interior cutout despite not being watertight

excellent recommendation, loving it! As an aside, Mrs DG and I are really enjoying Tinie as a presenter - not sure what I expected but I do hope he does more things like this

Agreed. It destroyed his family and his finances. You wouldn't wish that on anyone just trying to build a great house.
