My gut instinct is that she didn't have a mortgage on the Clapham house.
She made such a big deal about signing the mortgage paperwork when she moved into Wisteria Manor. She's mentioned the mortgage at least twice in the past couple of weeks. Something tells me the emotions associated with having that level of financial responsibility are new to her.
Pink Shorts, on the other hand, is rolling around like a pig in
tit thinking life is one big holiday. I think he is spending all his 'income' on basic living costs and has no actual financial responsibilities. Or assets for that matter. He'd be screwed if Lady Aga dumped him. You can see that is what aggravates him and sparks his ego - putting down Lady Aga makes him feel better for being a house husband.
I don't think she has a mortgage on the Gatehouse either. I think she paid for it in cash with company profits and I reckon it's registered as a business premises rather than a second home. Someone who has analysed her company accounts will be able to tell us more.... If my memory is correct, it was bought for around Β£480K and that matches the Β£500K that seemed to disappear from her accounts last year.
Anyway, it's going to be interesting to see how cold the house gets in the autumn and winter months. All the single glazing and numerous fire places are going to create the most epic wind tunnel! We have only two open fire places and its hard enough to stop the wind - it goes down one chimney and up the other in a circular motion. We have to make sure to keep all doors closed put draught excluders down to try and block it.
Also (and finally
) did you see how steamed up the windows were in the master bathroom after she had a shower in yesterday's vlog. That's going to require the windows to be painted regularly to counteract the damp / mould. She really needs to sort a dehumidifier out in there asap or else Pink Shorts clothes will all go mouldy!
