Exactly this. If she was offered double there’s no way in hell they would have brought a wrecked three bed ex council house with no driveway. What a load of bolloxYep that sound about right from what I remember. I really don’t know how she can warrant giving house buying advice when they only Managed to get a deposit from filming Roma’s birth. If they’d managed to budget and save the deposit I’d admire them a bit more but she’s going on in her video about having disposable income each month, why didn’t they just save that towards a deposit years ago. Sorry Kerry but I really don’t think much of the way you managed to buy your house. You didn’t work hard to save.
Also calling bull tit on the ‘we were offered double what we needed’ from the mortgage broker. No way would they have bought that house if that was the case, I understand wanting a house to renovate but the layout is tit and it doesn’t have a driveway. Surely you’d look around a few more houses within your budget if you could, even just for ideas.
100% that house won’t be worth much once finished. There’s only so much an ex council house with no Drive will go for. She paid £168,000 but no way once it’s finished will that house be worth 185,000-190,000 max. A loft conversion would be £35,000 plus do definitely wouldn’t make any money on that house.Yea and even if they did get offered a bigger mortgage (which I bet they didn’t) they couldn’t have got a more expensive house because she said they only just had enough of a deposit for 5% for that house!! just be honest people Would respect her more!! The only reason they brought that house was because it was all they could afford in the area they wanted!!
And seriously why are they thinking of going in the loft spending all that money they would be better to finish all the other rooms then sell making a bit of a profit and look for a bigger house with more space!! There’s no way that house is bigger enough for 3 kids as they grow!! That living room is so tiny!!
Also if they did go in the loft and spend all that money and then want to sell no one would pay loads for that house so they would prob end up losing money!!
