Maybe if it wasn't so tragically decorated and giving explosion in a paint factory vibes, it might draw some viewers in

I've seen it. It's been reduced this week. From looking at the previous sale price and the extensive work they've done to it, I doubt they'll make much from it. There doesn't seem to be much selling for near their asking price in that area.

I need to see it 😝! Give me a rough idea where in E17 and I’ll do the rest on Rightmove 👌🏻
EDIT: don’t worry - found it 👌🏻😝

What sort of price is it trying to find it? 😆
£700,000.00 within 5 miles of E17

I actually like the downstairs of the house. I would change the garden and a lot of the bedrooms and one of the bathrooms.

I found it! Tbh I think it’s fairly priced 🙈😝 for that area…. I don’t mind the decor either, I love colourful homes myself and it has been well presented to be fair….

I just can’t get my head around how she’s only just finished all that work and isn’t going to stay to enjoy it, and those poor kids…. More upheaval, more building sites, more mess! Can’t she see that. For what? Brighton is fine but it’s hardly swapping the ‘big city’ for the clean, quiet countryside. Just more of what she has but with kids that may find it very unsettling on top of already being ‘challenging’ (according to her), not to mention change of schools! Not sure she’s thought of them and their needs, and she will 💯 deserve the repercussions 🙄. Silly cow!

I always assumed she was in a trendy part of East London not East Ham 😮 I don't think she will get that much for it, I think it's lovely BUT its an acquired taste 🤔

I can't help but think inheritance from her Dad?

Some bits of it work well, but other bits are too much for me. The hallway especially.

Yes agree with what others have said, buys a new house, lives in turmoil for months building the extension and then the loft conversion, forgot to confirm a place for at least one of the kids, so potentially the upheaval of the second school change.

Now wants to move again and will rip her kids away from where they know and their friends. Likely to buy somewhere she will rip apart again as she doesn't seem to know what to do with her life. It's all very weird.

The decor and location may put some off, but the company she has chosen to market it with won't help either.

I’m very rarely snobby about areas but East Ham is the pits, I can see why she’s moving. The price with the size considered seems reasonable and I imagine it’ll sell quickly as demand is there.

Garden is mad though idk why you’d pay hundreds of thousands to extend and not get someone to lift those paving slabs and scatter a bit of grass seed for your two kids?!

Didn’t she put her daughter in a really tiny room or was that in her old house?
 
I think she’s in the refurbed attic now. At least the kids have some colour in their rooms and it’s not a grey prison. Hate the fairy lights in the front room and bathroom though. Looks gash.

The house looks really nice, an acquired taste but I like it. East Ham is an absolute shithole though, I’m really surprised she did that move in the first place. Seems odd, having the choice recently to choose that area for your kids.

That middle room is just a load of wasted space isn't it, big corridor. If they didn't have it all open plan downstairs one room could be a playroom/snug and another a family room.

Absolutely. And the light in there must be awful.

I've just found the listing for the previous house. They moved less than a mile down the road!? I live somewhere fairly rural so maybe I'm underestimating how tight the school catchment areas in London are but that seems like a huge undertaking to move just a few streets away. Makes me wonder if all the bluster about schools was nonsense and it was just a money making scheme.

Interestingly, there is no other sale data for their old house before they sold it so I wonder if it was gifted to them via family/inheritance.

The whole house is tasteless and in cohesive. Lots a insta content back grounds but way too much going on. Coordinating a home doesn’t mean sticking a f&b Bancha (colour matched at the decorating centre online) painted bit of furniture in every room!!

You’re confusing her with some who has taste. I mean here she is in her favourite Peter Pan collar but this one looks like she’s got saggy bits. So I’m not surprised about the throwback vibe in her house.
