Thank you for posting! It's so refreshing to feature a couple who is receptive to Sarah Beeny's advice/expertise. Never understood why previous couples just dismissed expert advice. SMH
Exactly!I agree!
Very sweet couple with 6 kids... positive attitude
I can't believe that city couple didn't check if they were allowed to break through that wall, still less take over the space that is not part of the basement she bought. She should have a plan showing exactly what she bought. And she should know she's not the freeholder. The host of this show is so knowledgeable, I'm surprised she didn't state the obvious & tell them to check the foundations before digging out the basement. Even I know these things & I'm not a homeowner or renovation expert.
Yeah, that was embarrassing! These problems come up all the time on Homes Under the Hammer.
She almost certainly knew that she’s not the freeholder, if the person holding the freehold found out about this then it’s likely they also charge a ground rent that they’ll have to pay yearly. I think a lot of people don’t fully realise exactly what it means, especially in multi-dwelling converted properties in a place like London. It gets super complicated.
It turned out nice again.
I think Alex’s eclectic low budget kitchen with all green walls and no glossy cabinets is one of the more stylish kitchens in this show...
It's a wonderful kitchen. But I think green can't be competed with and belongs outside.
I really like the French lady with the kids. Especially when she was hanging clothes on the fence. Most designers would have helped her for free to make the design a little more cohesive and practical. But hey, she likes it and so does he.
I wanted a Masaratti for €2,000,000, but then I decided I'd rather a Prius for €50,000. I just made €1,950,000.
😹😹😹😹😹
That Prius is a dream car.
How did they not know how much basement they actually owned beforehand ?
People rarely read their closing documents before or after closing due to the excitement of home ownership
@@conscientiousobjector9555: That's exactly what I said when I heard their plans. I didn't realise it was the punchline for the next scene!
@@replyno1 I understand that, but these two are a financial expert and a lawyer... reading fine print and closing documents is literally part of their jobs! smh
Ben - “Big enough for our family, six children...”
Alex being a French stereotype - “Stylish”
Alex is not a stereotype any more than YOU are. She is a person who happens to be French. Ça va pas, non!?!?
Want to reform your house? Build it in lego 1st. Genius!
🎯💯💯💯👍👍
If I had the basement bedroom I would put a ladder in the light well to use as a fire escape...
Naked women on the curtains for a kid's room. Interesting.
On the continent it’s known as ‘ala naturale’ 😂
What's wrong with being naked?
Both houses were really nice. I laughed so hard when the homeowner swore about her profit on the build. She did an amazing job and should really consider a career in interior design.
I don't understand a couple that are not married yet doing a renovation together. Getting married and having a wedding are two different things. You can always get married now and hold a large reception at the first anniversary.
If they keep track of who pays for what, there is no reason at all to rush the wedding.
I'm so confused. How can you own a building but not the land it sits on? I guess things are different in England to here in Australia. :: As for Sarah's demonstration of what the loft conversion could look like, I feel that she has the right idea. But it is so unfair to present the current plan as plain black and white, and the proposed plan with coloured wallpaper etc. She knows that Alex is into elegance, so it would sway her decision. Subtle mind manipulation.
I've watched hundreds of episodes of Homes Under the Hammer over the years. The lease problem is a constant theme- but UK properties being "leasehold" as opposed to freehold still confuses me. I get it when they mean that people who own a flat do not own the building's external walls and common hallways. But even houses without shared parts can be leasehold.
It's a huge problem when the lease has less than 60 years left on it. 99+ is a safe number. The new owner needs to own a place for at least two years before he legally has the right to extend the lease by paying the leaseholder. Rarely, an owner can talk the leaseholder into buying the freehold outright.
AND as I remember, he is a lawyer…
It makes the Australian Torrens Title system seem very sophisticated.
Love Alex & Bens family home. Style & flare goes a long way.
Flair. A flare is a kind of flaming signal light.
I liked Alexis' green walls. That interior isn't for everyone, with a little artistic touch and a major chill vibe. But what a horrible kitchen space. No space for storing utensils/food/ingredients etc. for a family of 8 people.
Just a BOMBARDMENT of ads. It was HORRIBLE. Really obnoxious.
Freeholder. Sheesh, what a racket.
Lol, some parents will sleep in their living room so their kids can have room
My dad made 4 of us share a small double room so he could have a room as his study
i know im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
@Holden Wilder instablaster =)
Would have left a half bath on main floor. Can't replace it for those with medical emergencies, lol.
Did anyone else rewind and listen twice "6 kids"?
I don't understand how does the show helps them to build a cheap and good house? Do they help them financially or with planning or providing builder.
Love the couple with the kids.
I luv Alex and Bens house. It’s so unique and quirky. X
The prices of “average” houses then and now, is ridiculous.
I agree this is a Huge Unnecessary Unsettling Purposeful Deliberate Disappointing Problem. Unfortunately !Here in the 🇺🇸 &All over the World🌍Smdh!🤦🤔🙄😡😠😬😤🎯😔😢💔💯💯People Builders Land Owners Governments ect Are So Full of Greed🤑💰💵 Crooked Corrupt Heartless Careless Selfish ect ect ect!
The basement went from scary expensive project to a nightmare upon a nightmare... I have a cellar that I need to dig lower to make it a bedroom but I'm more scared now🤣🤣🤣
For the first time I didn't like either finished project 😕
I love both.
Same here, I just didn’t like either of them, no taste at all
It's not necessary to postpone thei wedding - registration office is not that expensive.
Sorry, sorry, I am not clear...she's supplying the home, what's he bringing to the table??
His manhood
@@kvdl4785 Yeah, that was my question the whole way through.
I love the flat conversion, looks great. But I find it a really odd design choice that they put both bathrooms in the basement. I think they should have a powder room/half bath upstairs.
I agree!Smh!🤦🙄🤔🎯💯💯💯
Of course. Who doesn't have at least a WC on the floor where you live and a bathroom on the floor where you sleep?
Just have a giant bedroom for all six kids, like the Von Trapps!
what fun. hahaha. like camp.
The Galbraith Family had big bedrooms. If I remember right, they had 4 bedrooms to hold the 12 children. They are, after all, the real life Cheaper By The Dozen. The book was written by two of the kids, as was the sequel, Belles On Their Toes.
Yes. I never understand why kids need their own rooms. Why do kids need any more privacy than what they can find with a closed bathroom door? Sharing rooms in childhood helps them with so many skills necessary for sharing living space as adults.
My grandparents had 12 children and they had a massive bedroom for the kids.
Alex's brilliant use of vintage finds makes the space work.
Ben and Alex's house is way too incongruent for my taste. Beautiful Barcelona sofa, a wonderful mid-century chair, next to a Victorian couch and antique green lampshade? 😬 It looks like a second hand store with no particular theme or style.
Liked the green, not sure in the kitchen
I'll never understand boyfriends/girlfriends pooling huge amounts of money when they aren't even married and there is no protection if someone decides to walk away. But the basement place is lovely. Those salvage stores are amazing!
Has the French woman really had 6 kids? She got a shape of a woman who has had 1 kid!!!!
Benny's smiles seem fake smiles.. I don't know why!
😂 my smile is genuine I can assure you … I’d love to come round to your place and judge your personality without knowing you too !! 😂
Alex is the same French lady from the design challenge show
I do admire people that can put up with the mess and disruption, I could never do it.
Nor could I. I merely had my kitchen re-faced. It took 3 days I nearly lost my mind. 😄
If there’s one thing Alex & Ben should have spent on the interiors, it’s the kitchen. Doesn’t have to be expensive cabinets but at least some proper kitchen cabinets w/ a proper layout. I don’t mind the mismatch furniture since it can be replaced eventually.. But a proper kitchen is essential especially when you have that size of a family..
wedding fund? ye, priorities: a huge house or 5h of partying and THEN postponing the wedding...oh my...
They can have a less expensive wedding and not put it off for another year.
What exactly is the sense of having a lavish wedding if you've already lived together for 3-4 years and almost in your forties? Maybe a celebration, but I would not even call it a wedding, per se.
some of these episode i really feel they needed a family planning rather than extension
👍👍👍👍👍
Sorry I didn’t run my life plans by you in advance. I’d have changed them completely after consulting you
Where is that amazing shop puppets and masks. I cant track it down on the internet. Can someone help - thank you.
Have you got a building team sarah. I need a complete renovation of a Victoria rain semi.
gorgeous design from Alex 😍
The mom of 6 made me laugh when she got upset over the price her house was now worth. I don't like her "style" at all so if I were to buy her house I"d literally have to gut the kitchen and start over. The tub in the attic would need a wall and the color of the front would need to be changed. I wouldn't even offer her what she originally paid due to the amount of changes it would need. JMO
I thought the kitchen looked a little dark with green walls
Alex design is nightmare I hate it so much her house looking like antique shop dark and full of old things I can't even imagine to do such a decor in my house 🏡
This is not Alex's forte.....looks like a flea market
Bloody horrible
Both houses ended up not that nice tbh - rare to see on this show!
Tara looks a lot like Geena Davis.
