Looking forward to seeing how ott his birthday party is going to be though

Did you see all the booze in his stories recently

 

[ShinyDiscoBalls]

It’ll be on zoopla

Did they ever announce who won the competition they ran for some random person to win the opportunity to go to the party

I don’t remember the competition ever going ahead, there were supposed to be more details, but they never materialised. Can’t say I’m surprised, wouldn’t want a normal at an influencer bash!

I think the mini living room makeover didn’t cost them anything as it seemed to be sponsored by Dulux. So I can see why they did it.

I wasn't questioning the process, just the bland result

 

[Tescogirl]

Wonder much they paid for that house.

 

[Tescogirl]

I love there home. Except the kitchen floor tiles. Why would they move. Lovely home.

 

[Hardknocklife]

No they definitely didn’t as they showed insta stories packing it up and sold the big dresser

Oh I missed that It will be interesting to see what they do (Ian does) with this one, wonder if they will churn out the same style? There is some amazing Victorian Renos atm with so much style.

So what do we think about the new fixer upper that's just been revealed?

 

[Homebird44]

Maybe the other lower values for the Estate agents were for a quick sale. If the lady that bought it was happy to pay that, id do the same as them. You sell on ebay for thr highest price. No need to brag about it though.

How long before big reveal 🫣

Yeah, I undertand that. I'm sure we've all watched Location, Location, Location and I actually worked in the mortgage industry for 24 years.

But still, these people were relocating from the USA to the UK and got a bit stitched up by the sounds of it. Yes, they were very stupid to pay over the odds - maybe they didn't do much research, maybe they just really fell in the love with the house, who knows? - but the whole tone of that blog post feels like a massive "we got one over on the buyers and all our neighbours" and that over the top sale price will now completely skew the selling prices in the area and, in particular, that road thus further adding fuel to an already ridiculous house price situation in this country.

Had he said it was 100000 over asking price. I’ve missed that. Crazy amount of money

 

[Hardknocklife]

maybe they sold it furnished as the old house won't suit some of the stuff?

 

[Be More Pacific]

Would the mortgage company not value it down? That usually happens on a normal sale, let alone a overpriced one.

It would be the surveyor who provides the valuation figure that the lender would work on and you're right, it happens especially with new builds. I'm really surprised he/she didn't in this case given what appears to be the comparable evidence in the area.

Where have they moved to?

How much of their last renovation did they show? I cba following them if it’s the smallest hint here and there.

 

[LaurieLaurie]

New house was £650k so they must be reasonably well paid!

They sold theirs for £580k.
Sounds like their neighbours had a little bitch about their asking price.

 

[Tescogirl]

I wonder how much they’re relying on sponsorships to be able to fund the renovations. I never got the impression that either are in very highly paid jobs and there seems a lot more building/structural renovations in the new house to fund before they can get to ‘fun’ part and start using their Neptune discount.
