I have to say this is one of the most bizarre episodes I've watched! Is that Jodi chick for real? She's either high all the time or a few cards short of a deck! Shes on another planet! She's playing with other people's money like it's a game! I literally had to fast forward when she came on! Those poor, poor dogs and anyone who has him as a fireman! 😳
I was rooting for the second couple looking after 10 dogs 🐶! Then it all went to feck ! When she opened her mouth and said they want to make a bag of money and swan off to Australia! Who's going to care for the dogs !!!????
This film was made in 2007. Since then electrical laws have been tightened and they would need a certificate for the electrics and gas before the house can be sold. It is very dangerous what they did, I agree.
Hearing the market has blown up enough to increase the value of the property by £150k without doing anything to it…..as if you wouldn’t forecast that bubble bursting!!?
omg--r these ppl for real? they have no idea what they r doing and without even taking a sec to think about her proposals, they knock them them down on the spot. Idiocy
Well reality did hit in the shape of the property market crash that shortly followed. Matt talked about staying in the house for a couple of years and then selling for the same profit they'd have received in 2007. In fact they would have had to stick around to at least 2013, by which time the house would have needed sprucing up again big-time before being put on the market.
"My mum will lend us the money if I ask sweetly..." "We're just taking it easy". Scraping by on dogsitting income? This pair are kids playing at being adults. And the other couple are equally complete novices - putting a loo in the sitting room! Did their commonsense not tell them that it looked completely idiotic? Did the production team go out of their way to find the least able people?
OMG I am a dog lover and I could barely watch most of this episode. They were described as 'dog sitters'. Who were the dog owners who thought this was an acceptable environment for their pets? And they actually paid this couple for this so called 'care'? Can't have empathy about this couple no matter the outcome of the show. First episode I have actively disliked.
Oh come on. Dog owners would want someone they could trust, to care about their pets. This chick obviously loves the dogs. They get fed, love and plenty of attention. What else do you think a dog needs, shagpile rugs and their nails done in a salon? 😁
Matt and Jody -- how completely annoying and frustrating! First Sarah has to cajole, threaten and babysit them into getting up and growing up enough to do the work, then they "decide" not to sell. Jody knew all along they were going to stay -- note the way she said "we use" the middle room at 24:58. And man are they wrong that "the money will always be in the house"! In less than a year the market would crash.
Yeah. I see that fairly often in some UK 'reality' shows I watch. A bit like when an actor on stage gives a muttered remark to the audience that we're supposed to hear but the other characters on stage aren't. The suspension of disbelief required for the technique is a bit strange in video, though.
The 0:05:50 idea of small rooms reminds me of how interested I was in that time travel movie - where what’s’is’name was being shown-up by everyone around him, then he was in the right place that took him back in time and fell in love with the BelleEpoc era. Anyway, Gertrude Stein’s house !!!!!! Midnight In Paris! That’s the movie! (does this mean I just time traveled myself?!? Ooooooohoohooooo) Ya, so... where was I..... ya, she had nooks all through her place where probably 30 2-person conversations could have taken place all without clutter. I recall being enchanted with that detail. (Woo.... that was a roller coaster! I need a lie down now!)
I have questions. How is it possible that these people have no clue - like 30.000 pounds off - how much money they spent? 38:45 Why have a wonking great radiator against the only wall in the room where you can put a sofa and see the fireplace and not block the glass doors (in a country where people seem to be bound by law to shove furniture against walls)? Why put a LEATHER sofa smack in front of a huge radiator, blocking the heat and guaranteeing that the leather will be dried out? OK, OK, it's only for show. But really - that chrome hairdryer light fixture on the wall next to the glass doors to the garden: Why? And then there's that long black counter in the kitchen backed by a vast expanse of flat white wall. No upper units, no open shelves... I guess the idea is that people will come in and add some personality to it.
Is the Aldershot woman American? Or is that accent from somewhere in the west of England? I'm from the U.K. originally but after 40 years in the United States I must be losing my capacity to identify accents.
@Norfolk250 it's stated it was 2007. They did not sell it, in 2008 there was a real estate crash. The £200k goes out the window and needed years to bounce back.
@@cindy-ml7vo It was October 2007 and wasn't a housing crash, it was a total financial market crash. I remember it like it was yesterday, lost a massive amount of money in the share market. Devastating
I don't think the young couple should be developers because they aren't taking it seriously. Why are there so many unmarried couples in these episodes? They should make a full commitment to each other--not a temporary one.
Likewise, perhaps you shouldn't judge their commitment to each other. Given the divorce rate in both the USA and the UK, a marriage ceremony is no guarantee of persistence!
What?? How does a piece of paper make a difference these days?? Commitment happens in the heart, not because of a 'contract.' Maybe they don't know yet. They're awfully young and rather flaky. Give them 5 mins.

@@happydays1336 ... everything increases the chance of divorce. I ABSOLUTELY believe in marriage, in commitment ... but people who just stay together because it's too much hassle to jump through all the legal hoops of undoing things (when they don't like each other but stay together out of laziness), I don't believe that is the answer either. I don't believe there is a recipe/formula for staying together... it's as complex as our society has become. I wish people would be more conscious about having children when they are not going to stay together. Actually, I wish people would simply become more conscious.
I wouln't buy any property after dogs owners! Smell stays for years in the walls and flooring.
Yeah same here. Disgusting that smell

How can they mind dogs and wake up in the middle of the day?

We don’t actually want them in Oz!
If Clive and Deborah's goal was to own their own home, why didn't they just move into the place they did up???
I agree and how can they get to that age and that stage in life and still be living with the parents. WTF
How come unlicensed, inexperienced people are allowed to put in electrical work in? They certainly can’t in Australia.
Or ireland..
This film was made in 2007. Since then electrical laws have been tightened and they would need a certificate for the electrics and gas before the house can be sold. It is very dangerous what they did, I agree.
I think they were just running the cables to save on labor costs. They would need an electrician to make the connections.

Matt and Jody are to laid back to become property developers
2007: "The money is in the house now" 2008: Recession - the house is probably worth half that.
Exactly what I was thinking 😅😅
Yep lol idiots
And then in 2008 the bubble burst...
October 2007. The dog couple should have sold, value would have plummeted
omg--r these ppl for real? they have no idea what they r doing and without even taking a sec to think about her proposals, they knock them them down on the spot. Idiocy
My god the couple with all the animals were so lazy! How the hell did they even have the money for this?
Talkinga bout the budget, there was the guy's comment, "If I ask sweetly, Mummy will loan me the money..."
it's completely unfair to have animals living in that chaos and filth.
The dogs don't deserve that life. Those hippy-dippy idiots do.
Matt and Jody are just 2 kids playing house. They're in for a rude awakening when reality hits.

Oops 2007 - should have sold...
Yep
They are restoring a house to flip and they have a 'holiday budget' ? Crazy people !
A very.hard episode to watch
I would like to have a downstairs loo...no, actually it`s a must-have!

Yes!!!!
They didnt put a loo in the sitting room by choice..it was a council dictate.
I feel very sorry for the dogs.
They're dog watchers and bought a house for £345 000 wtf ? I think I know what I should be doing in life now...
She's under the floorboards without a mask or glasses? Wtf
erm...poor welshman here, wondering...how the hell did two Dog Walkers...get a mortgage for over 300k..??? What??
Mummy and daddy
I would never trust these people with my dogs.. Poor dogs ...shitty environment 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
pot noodle eatting dog walkers should not be the focus of a property programe unless someone is having a laugh on our expense. i feel cheated.
The young couple made enough money to pay back Mom. 55,000

i'm guessing Mum gave them the money, maybe just to get them out of her house...!

19:50 why is she whispering when she’s in the street? 😂😂

May 2018 then came the crash. They should have cashed in.
I think these are more like 10 years old.
In the video it started it was June 2007 when showing the dog building

She definitely would be
I doubt Matt and Jody did that work themselves.
Where did they FIND these couples!? Unmotivated, unrealistic, lazy, neglectful...I'm running out of negative adjectives.
I'd like to congratulate Matt and Jody on being the most annoying couple ever to be featured on this show. Couldn't get past halfway through.
dog lady is nice and positive
12.43 they didnt put concrete pad stone down
Wow... 220,000 £ = 380,770.21$ Canadian (14 January 2021). That would be a down payment on a small house here in Southern Ontario
I think these are pre-2008 shows.
