The Great House Giveaway..
Discussion
Is anyone watching this? It’s boiling my p***!
In a nutshell, 2 strangers get given a house (from auction) to renovate. The house is usually a complete basket, and they have 6 months to renovate, market and sell it.. or it goes back to auction.
Sounds great on paper, but most of them are complete helmets. At least one leaves half way through, sometimes both.
And my favourite part is the budget breakdown at the end. They’ll buy a sub 100k house, spend 12k on it, and the fees will apparently be £15k
Oh and no, no one makes any money!

I saw one the other day and the “fees” were £23k. What’s that about? What rate are they applying to the “borrowed” money? Seemed extortionate level of costs.
They’re so extortionate, I’m wondering if they’re taking all the VAT off the renovation “budget” and putting it on as fees at the end.. there’s no other way you can spend more in fees than on the actual renovation.
