totally! Didn’t feel safe after dark there (Kent coast, especially Margate) at all lots of undesirable types roaming the streets. Feel much safe in central London tbh!!

I don’t think she cleans anything??! Plus she would need to remove her skanky knickers if they let them...Good location for an Air B&B? Demand would be high during summer months. Maybe three en suite bedrooms could be used that way? I’ll console my bedroom envy with thoughts of them cleaning all of those rooms.
I’ve just found the listing, that is going to be THE biggest money pit ever. We did an extension and renovation on our house built in 1850, you have no idea if the amount of work until you start pulling stuff out. It gives me the shakes just looking at her new house, it will cost a fortune to get decent

Totally agree. We moved into a house that needed stuff doing to it (nowhere on the scale of what that house will require) and we got fed up halfway through, after having our kitchen ripped out and refitted. It also ALWAYS goes over the budget. I can only imagine some of the problems they’re going to end up facing with a house that size.
I hope they’re strong enough for this challenge. It’s going to be HARD.
That doesn’t look exciting to me as a home for a family. Really don’t like the frontage and no off street parking. Cannot see that the hassle of renovating it will be worth it. Where will skips go? In the street?

Because she wants ‘to give it the best launch possible’ obviously! And then as an after thought mentions ‘wonder if this means I can have a launch party?’
Surely the only thing that would give it the ‘best launch possible’ would be an party?
She’s completely gormless.
After having another look at the floor plan, I’m revising my opinion.
It has been a normal sized three storey terrace to begin with, but at some stage the wing containing the dining room and kitchen was built in the garden. It has lower ceilings, less features and was quite likely constructed cheaply/poorly.
Their garden runs behind the third terrace in the row and is perpendicular to the kitchen wing. The garden is completely locked in and overlooked on all sides. If you wanted to bring in gardening materials it would need to be through the house.
What a strange property to buy for a small family!
Utter madness. It's in such a state the very thought of renovating it is giving me anxiety. And I lived through a basement conversion! Are they going to live there while they do it up because 1) the upheaval, mess and noise, all with small kids, and 2) the place is soooo depressingly drab and dated. Are they rich enough to live somewhere else, coz that's the only way to get through it imvho.
Also, the wave of Insta freebies is coming to an end with the devastation that Covid has wreaked on our economy. Companies are downsizing, laying off staff and just trying to keep things going. How much are they going to throw at grabby Insta non-ents with their hands forever out for freebies? This will be interesting to watch.
She’s eyed the size and got hideously carried away with the thought of what it could be, ignoring all sensibility. I don’t think it will end well unless she really has a tonne of money to throw at it. Could’ve bought way smaller and had less stress, less hassle and loads less cost.
It’s really odd because she’s making out like she never planned or even plans to share the Reno! She’s debating wether to share more pics and the location etc on the gram so I don’t think that would’ve been her motive.
and as for the mess and dirt... she lives a life of squalor anyway so not sure they would know the difference.
they must be LOADED to have the level of disposable income it will require to Reno to even a basically acceptable modern day standard.
Seriously, what is or will be aspirational about that house?
Freebies are nice things like sofas, kitchens, tiles etc.
They won’t be able to get rebuilding - rewrite, plumbing, damp proofing, windows etc and it will cost them a fortune.
Their old house would be a lot bigger if she picked her dirty knickers off the floor

For the only they paid they could have got a 4/5/6 bedroom large detached house in Broadstairs that was ready to move in. Make it make sense!!
More I think about it more I feel it’s not going to be a family home, they must be looking to develop it. Carve it up into flats either for private sale or serviced apartment type vibe or even just renovate as a boutique hotel then sell that.

You really have to have a vision for something like this, from what I've seen from their old house it's not like interior design was their thing, god I'd be so daunted!
