I'm beginning to think that magnolia shade is the only colour paint for sale in all of the UK! I understand they're attempting to keep to a neutral palate, but surely there must be other neutral colours to be had in place of that funeral parlour flowers look.
lol...I was born and raised in the USA and my husband was born and raised in Yorkshire UK. We moved there after we were married in the USA. We bought a house and was remodeling it and my husband being cheeky as he is, told me that was the only paint u could buy in the UK was magnolia. I said dont u have paint store where u can get paint mixed in colors? He said nope! So I went to my mother in law and told her what he said and she said no sweetheart hes taking the mick out of ya. Of course we have paint stores. lol He also told me I had to walk 2ft behind him when we were out and about in town. I went straight to his mum and she started laughing and told my husband to stop telling me all this ridiculous nonsense. lol Anything he told me after that, that sounded dodgy I went straight to his mum.😉
What is it about the English and pokey stairways and hallways? That first place was one of the first places I've seen with a decent sized hall/stairway. Why let it out to students, omg, they're just going to fuck it up.
These properties predate central heating. The lounge is generally preferred to be larger than the hallway which is difficult to keep heated with a fireplace. Also, this would have been made with real wood, not MDF, plywood. Much comes down to money, plus small staircases are quicker to use. In wealthy houses you would have large staircases for the owners and small staircases for servants. Not sure where you're from, but Victorian architecture, set many standards today, it's is highly admired and still copied globally.
No wonder why the service charge -which includes heating- is so high when there with the single glass windows in the flat when you're basically heating the street, opposed to retaining the heat inside the place where you wanna be cosy and warm. I think she could not sell this to me, no matter how much rainbows and unicorns she painted on the windows. She is slightly overpainting the shortcomings of the place. There is a lot to do and there is no hiding from the truth ;-) I'd say there must be a window company to recreate that window style, but double glassed and a bit more energy efficient. It will probably come at an extra price tag, but in the long run surely cheaper than wasting energy and heating the outside!
I'd like that flat, but without a lift? No TY to all those stairs going up to what Brits call the 2nd floor but Americans would call the 3rd floor. All right for young people, but most young people couldn't afford that flat with its high annual maintenance fees. Surprised buildings of that size haven't got at least a single elevator for the older folks. No wonder bungalows are in such high demand in Britain these days.
When was this filmed? I wouldn't say 3 grand a year service charge if all hot water and heating is included is a lot...That alone counts for well over a grand a year.
It probably includes the cost of maintaining the gardens along with general maintenance. I'd also expect a portion to go into a sinking fund for roof repairs and painting the exterior.
I loved that big old Victorian. I wish someone bought it to make it into a family home and gave it back its charm. why did they paint all that red on the front door and out in the back garden. That made it look very industrial. didnt like that at all.
That idiot of a presenter (the guy) is way out on his yield calculations. For a start, those rental estimates are gross figures - the landlord will be paying all the bills plus council tax, which will knock it down at least 3,600 pounds a year, or by 300 a month. Then at auction you've got all the additional costs plus stamp duty, which on a property like this is likely to come to around an additional 5-6k. So, net yield of more like 11%. Still good, but forget that 15%. I do wish people would not give potential HMO investors false hopes. Also, add to that the fact that these guys do this for a living and have a dedicated team of builders, i.e. they've systematised the whole process. Just be warned - it's not that easy.
I liked the old carpet and wall paper in the big student apartments.

Hello from the future, where now carpet is only sold in grey & walls are white except for one feature wall with obnoxious wallpaper.
My house when I brought it was a mix of light blue and magnolia everywhere. It's like they only had 2 pots of paint

The developer Nick with the white hair looks like Steve Martin's older brother.

The male presenter has the worst hair. Does he wash it with scouring powder?
The worst thing with this show is the music they have ,,, so so so annoying every time
F-ing hell I hate the music!!
Clean, functional, and boring!
Yes because it's for students.
id show her my "communal parts" haha.
Everyone uses them?
hate the presenters they can change it and i bet the tv views and ratings will go up#
