[Closed] grand designs

I was about to start a thread exactly like this!!

EDIT: it still amazes me how much money / effort people are willing to invest to live in 'trendy' parts of London.

650 k! Hes runs an eco taxi firm, and shes an out of work actress, bloodyell! How do they get this money!

Im not jealous 🙁

Triangle plot of land ... bad feng shui.

I got the feeling she blames him for her being a failed actress, with two kids, that doesn't live in L.A
Arguments will follow, but the house will only be fuelling underlying problems

17 party wall agreements 😐

Shes a babe too, hate him even more 😉

Wtf is an Eco taxi firm?

I already thought he was a 'male chicken', but the Prius has overwhelmingly confirmed it!!

Don't understand. They say how important it is to have a house and garden. If so, just move out of London. What they paid for the plot would buy a reasonable house just about anywhere else in the UK.

Eeek... he's just sold his company. Or rather he's just sold his Toyota Pious..?!

Wow the man has the balls.
Yes, that's scary and very risky ... 😯

How much??

I think the builder may be slightly regretting his fixed quote

Shitters with heated seats wtf

Think the builder is doing a sterling job mind.

Always amazed that people plan on spending hundreds of thousands of pounds on these projects without getting an accurate price before starting. Also the basement projects, never understood why people are never advised about undertaking proper site investigations and surveys - the architect wants a kicking for getting the levels wrong - poor excuse blaming an unclear site, clear it ffs!

Edit: spoke too soon re the contractor!

Builder in administration...

Arguments will follow

wukfit, that magic ball of yours is on fire!!

Recording it, looks like it'll be interesting... 😉

Oops builder in administration.

"I think the builder may be slightly regretting his fixed quote"
May be more than slightly.

Swimming pool ... I can never get this ... 🙄

How do they get in and out of the house?

Did I miss seeing a driveway or a garage?

Rhythmic spaces - can't wait for next week...

They dont need a car, dey is urban cool init

Something on RedTube, mebbe?

I'd watch that 😉

where do these folk get the money? when the majority of the population can't even get a mortgage on a starter house.

it'll be on the market in a few months (the swimming pool is to add sale value)

The first link is ok but for that money ... hmmm ... London price I guess.

Crikey the second link ... that is hideous.

Unbelievable, I drove through kennington today, why would anyone want to live there? Let alone spend 5 mill for the privilege, its a s**t hole.

For that money I can live a stress free life for a long long time ...

Oh and of course an episode of Casualty

10.4 million for a basement, but hey it's been on the telly

I really don't get the London mentality, why anyone wants to live there is beyond me, (sorry CFH) I work there & grew up in an affluent part of it (well it all is really if your talking about property prices) & I really wonder about it if you are past the age of spending the whole week clubbing etc.

But hey ho, each to their own.

That seemed to go remarkably smoothly I though given the potential it had to go wrong.
Liked the house and the people this episode.
Think it was £1.3m all in in the end - a "bargain" for that house in that area. They must have at least doubled their money.

Imagine a £ 1,000,000 mortgage, madness!!!

My favourite part of this particular show was the couple persuading Kevin at every opportunity how they wouldn't be overlooked when they were plainly overlooked on every side. It was a goldfish bowl.

Also as often in this programme. The money side was a mystery.

I want to know where all the rain water goes that runs down the steps to the cellar/downstairs/underground bits. It looked like London clay so I reckon give it a few months and their proverbial gold fish bowl will be ready for a few fish.

The money side was a mystery.

There was a brief segment where she mentioned that his dad was crapping it..I suspect some family money entered the fray.

1) There are lots of very highly paid jobs there
2) There are loads of cool things there and lots going on.
