Hi Nicky and Harry! What a fantastic renovation you have done, the house looks stunning! We have been watching your videos, getting ideas and feeling motivated with our house renovation project! Thank you for creating such great content and wishing you the all the best with your future renovations! We will be cheering for you! Re. the wardrobe slidding doors, could you let us know what company or kit you went for? we are doing our wardrobe at the moment and need to get similar sliding mirror doors :)

Hang on a sec, are you based in Newbury? You just walked past my studio to go to the architects

NO YOU USE TILE SPACERS

Hi, watching from Yorkshire. Saw your vid about your house conversion so started to look back and the school bus caught our attention. Great videos and easy watching 👍

The architect scanner is so cool!!!

I am so so excited to watch this house unfold and become beautiful!! Also hoping to get some ideas for my own house when I have one which I am hoping is soon! ❤

I'm with Arkiplan and while I have appreciated their design ideas and cost effectiveness, I'd say a few things: 1. Not all their design staff are architects so be mindful of that if that is important to you. 2. Their quotes might change once you've had your design meetings from what you'd initially discussed - it's not the end of the world but it did confuse me how they calculated it which felt a bit unpleasant. 3. You might spend some of your design rounds asking them to add or change things you've already discussed (or should have been asked) with them.

Nips

Hope it goes well for you but considering you havent yet exchanged contracts, I wouldnt get too far ahead of yourselves..anything can happen in a chain..

Get a BORA induction hob.... best thing ever !!!

upon completion of the project, I won't be surprised that it will cost more than 85k and marginally below 95k

Do you think the kitchen matches the house? It’s not a farmhouse but it’s a farmkitchen

Arkiplan looks great! So does Readly and DIY Kitchens! 😅

Welcome to the neighbourhood! It was lovely to meet you both the other day, good luck and remember to just knock if you need anything. I can't wait to see the house and what you do to it! Jen, Richard and Jack - 2 doors down!

Brilliant video as always you two. 💙

Bit confused - thought you’d already exchanged etc, so this purchase could fall through at any minute and you don’t have the house?(seems to be what was suggested at the end of the video)

You’re paying your solicitor for a service. If she gets 1 or 300 emails a day that’s not your problem. If she’s saying she gets too many emails she should pass your case to someone else(but she won’t, because she gets money from you, whether it takes a week or 3 months)

Hey guys can't wait to follow along your new reno! Regarding waste management, I understand that grab lorries work out much cheaper than skips 👍🏻 Love the traditional English cottage look with white render. I'm thinking at least £100k budget (a lot more if it wasn't DIY!)

I knew it!!!.. kitchen 1 is spicy, good luck with it all, excited to watch 🤙🏼

Lovely to bump into you two at Windsor yesterday! I was literally just saying to the GF the day before we should renovate!!

Even better than Homes Under The Hammer!

Weekly Nikky and Harri, now you guys are treating us. Loving the ideas for the kitchen, especially the built in extractor in the hob! Cant wait to come see it in person soon hopefully 🙌🧡

Go big 200k renovation sell for double

Green kitchen cabinets with gold handles and a Belfast sink 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Love this! It’s next door to my parents house 😊 Can’t wait to see the end result! Let us know if you need anything! Sue, Alan and Louise next door

Option 2 on the kitchen definitely . .

you guys are amazing, such a cute couple, I only now just discovered you both, do you both have individual socials to or is it just the one instagram account. also what do you both do for careers as these house renovations must take up a lot of your time. keep up the amazing work

3:37 permitted development does *not* require planning permission, you could issue your building control notice and start work in 2days the architect surely knows that already

3:18 Neighbours *can not* stop your build. they can "comment" during consultation but ultimately have zero power, (as it should be) the only time they can cause an issue is when loss of light occurs.

A level 3 survey would have raised alarm bells over your drainage and given you advice over size capacity of a klargester bio disc or similar and outline cost plus appraised repair and improvements costs to adjudicate your £68000 surprise.

Well looking at your property condition as a Chartered Building Surveyor, you should have had a level 3 building survey to give you extensive costs and not traffic light recommendations.

I prefer kitchen 2. The inset drawers are small & narrow, and the plate rack & baskets, waste more space, and can end up dusty. Those fancy hobs can cost thousands, you can get a decent induction one for around £300 Looking forward to the next video! 👍

Prefer kitchen 1, if I was doing it I love navy blue. But I understand that you are probably doing this to sell on so will keep to a neutral palette.

Open 1 shaker style for the kitchen

Hi Nicky and Harry...This is going to be epic. Can't wait. Love your videos as I have said it always inspires me. Thank you. Forgot what the options were , but inlike the traditional stuff so will keep with that..if that helps x

Love option number 1 for your kitchen

I'm all about Harri's TLC and Tupac clothing. :)

Love the vids but far too many in videos adds/ paid promotions

Great video as always - well done. Kitchen 1 for me. I’d avoid the plate rack if the interior is painted. We had one in a previous property and the paint surface got heavily scratched over the years with taking the plates in and out.

Hi Nicky & Harri 👋 I absolutely love kitchen choice number 1, a beautiful classic style. Wow, you really have got your work cut out & the plans sound amazing! I'm so excited for more videos ❤x

Good video, Intrigued why you’d get a homebuyer survey after you’ve purchased the property🧐 would be impressed if you can keep to 67k, would think all in more more 80-90k especially considering the extension. Good luck. Have a look onto a programme of works too to help you keep on track

👍🏼🛠👫🏡

Go with kitchen #1. The doors on kitchen #2 will be a constant cleaning job. Learned this from experience.

Enjoyed the vlog Nicky , Harri 😊😊😊 will be looking forward to your next vlog 😊😊😊😊

Number 1 kitchen love that one 😊

Good luck your hard work will pay off and can’t wait for the weekly vids

Hi Nicky ❤ Hi Harri nice to see you both 😊😊😊😊😊

Absolutely love your videos and can’t wait to see them weekly. I personally loved kitchen number 1, that would definitely be my choice! I hope you get everything sorted out as quickly and smoothly as possible so you can get started on the renovations. So EXCITED!!!

Cool project, with a house of that age do you get an asbestos survey done first, or do you just rip into it and hope for the best?

You guys really deserve more subscribers with the quality of your videos
