The only reason I can think of as to why her parents didn’t advise them not to pay such a huge amount for such a damaged property is that the previous owners had some very strategically placed furniture in these rooms.
I remember her saying that they got the top tier survey done on the house which would mean that even if furniture was placed there, proper surveyor would check behind furniture. I am shocked of how much they payed for it for what it is..

Nope, it’s the end of a row of terraced houses so shares a party wall with one other property.
I must be dense because I never realized this either (also, we don't have the term "terraced house" in the US, so I thought it meant that it just had two floors?? lol). I feel sorry for the neighbors who have to be in such close proximity to icky, peeping Mark. Does this also mean the rest of the houses on that row are dealing with damp issues as well?

I think in the States you’d call this a townhouse or a row home? We say end terrace here to distinguish it from a semi-detached house, which is house that also shares one wall but is just a pair of houses - like a side-by-side duplex, I think. It’s likely that all of the houses in the street have (or have had) some damp issues. It depends on what’s causing it, and how well the house has been maintained over the years, but those Victorian/Edwardian houses do tend to have a bit of damp in them whatever you do. Often part of the problem can be previous work, like blocking up fireplaces. They were designed to be draughty and blocked fireplaces and double-glazing can cause condensation issues.

Agree. We live in a Victorian terrace. Fortunately we have never had any damp issues but our house is a bit drafty in the winter. A lot of people make the mistake of insulating the house by modern standards and not allowing the house to 'breath'.

We were also advised to use a specific type of plaster when replastering (I forget the name). Modern plaster can also cause issues with damp and condensation.

I love a period property but you have to be prepared to put in the love and the money. You also have to know what you are looking at when you buy. Or be like us as benefit from dumb luck! (Or maybe good karma 🤔)

wait. a. minute. I thought the house was on its own plot & didn’t share walls with neighbors. Does terraced mean they share walls?
Sorry to quote myself, but I’d like to amend my comment a little bit. I was on the bus reading & trying to type this, and I do get quite ill if I read on the bus. Therefore, I finished it early.
There’s nothing wrong with a terraced house. At all. I live in one (I think, they’re just like row houses, right?). But to my eye, with the angles and everything, she’s making it seem like it’s a free standing house. Or maybe I’m wrong. But I’d think, again, that for a million pounds, coupled with all of the damp, that they really made a mistake or got taken for.
And if I were her, I’d be so damn utterly embarrassed to show that to so many people. And, I’d she were doing it for #relatable reasons, I find it even more gross. It’s like she’s trying to cosplay poverty and it’s gross.

I kind of have always know it was a terraced house, so I don’t remember what I thought about this when I first found out. As for the price, at that time I kind of assumed that was the UK market.

I keep thinking there must be something we don’t know, with the bidding war and all. They must have had a real estate agent advising them or something?

Ok I have something to say. It's a long rant, so get ready.

Watched dame Anne latest video. A (fake?) friend gave her a gift card for posh tea for two.

Is it just me who assumed she'll go with the said friend?? Or anyone, just anyone, (her mum, Mark's mum, old neighbour, brow lady, waitrose and partners staff, ) other than her husband she sees everyday last 7 months?

And if that's really true (the story). Gosh. Of course, she's taking Mark.

Wild idea. How about maybe taking Lily to celebrate thus creating some content for both vlogs.... since you are so so happy both of you having boys and she is such a great friend that you feel so grateful to have during pregnancy? But who am l, who am I....

Can anyone believe her when she said a friend asked her to do a wedding makeup on her? Like, what?

You don't know anything about long lasting, special occasion makeup. You only operate one shade of ugly brown, you only own one mascara, you actually despise applying more than a drop of coloured product, you don't even wear a lipstick, let alone apply etc. How that friend seeing Anna look can think yes, I want that on my wedding day. Anna doesn't even have enough makeup arsenal for anyone other than her special self to then match other, certain look or different skin needs...

What if the ugly orange shadow is not flattering on anyone else's. Or dewy will be too dewy on another skin? Neurotic Anna won't handle that. That friend if it's true better buy some makeup herself and watch yt tutorials :ROFLMAO:

I bet someone will tell me here that oh what if they love Anna's makeup I will just say now- whatever, lol.

What I mean is there is such a huge weird and off putting vibe this one emerges that I struggle to believe said friends exist.
Her body language is off when she tried to tell you about them. Maybe she has some, but everything seem to be so fake and ingenious with this one.. I am always suspicious when it comes to Anna. I trust Lily more with socialising haha

And she dares stating that they both work like young horses, no week holiday since December. Your work ethic and content quality sucks. Anna, your life is holiday.

i also just don't understand what's so special about the house? Like it has NO charm. I could understand paying an expensive price for a house that's damaged if there's something so amazingly appealing to it and you would want to invest to renovate it. But...like? What? The house is very very random.

Different topic, but wasn’t there supposed to be a FOUR-week break from our favourite podcast? It’s definitely been longer now, but I guess Lily and Nana have been busy with being pregnant, daily cash grabs, deceiving their followers and holidays. I cannot wait for the announcement of the inevitable pregnancy episode(s), they’ll be “back with a bang” and probably rename their podcast to “two become mum”, tihi.

Totally agree. It’s not special at all! People also said when they first bought it that public transport and schools in that area weren’t great.
There must be something more to it. I personally agree with above - they’d wanted more sponsored Reno/builder stuff which hasn’t happened due to covid, and she got pregnant quicker than they were thinking.
I can’t see them doing any renovations this year.

Last podcast was 20th May. They are both lazy and entitled beyond belief!

The fact that they haven’t even mentioned anything about a delay or confirmed a later start date to the next ‘season’ just shows what disregard they have towards their listeners.
