I moved to a bungalow a couple of years ago myself for the same reasons you describe. Friends have laughed but they make ideal properties for younger buyers too. Mine was built in the 60s and luckily the kitchen and lounge were already orientated to the rear garden. The plot sizes with these homes will never be seen again in newer developments. I'm glad you weren't put off by the trees and have sorted the root issue. They're a fantastic asset which will bring shade, greenery and nature in. Enjoy!
I’ll be moving into a refurb project similar to your property shortly so I’ll be sure to watch your channel. Good luck with it. Cheers for sharing. Subscribed 👍
James this longer form of video is really engaging and will build a lot more connection with the audience. It’s the perfect way to build an inner circle who can get into your courses. Me included!
Nice work James. Architectural Designer here, I feel your vision will maximise the potential of the property - just be aware of adding huge amounts of glass with the new regulations that have come in for Part L and part O. You might be fine but it is something to consider. Enjoy the journey.
Very exciting, like the idea of having the living space connected to that nice private garden. We are in a similar position, we bought a 4 bed Edwardian era house last march and have reconfigured by taken walls down, and gutted all of the rooms whilst living there. We decided to take all the carpets up to get rid of the awful smell and dust, we are still living on mostly floorboards currently until all the mucky jobs are finished (few rugs down). My priority when we moved in was to get the main bedroom done first so we have somewhere to escape to from the mess! I dont film it but my mrs has kept a vlog on UA-cam Suzi darling. Look forward to future vids, you've motivated me to get stuck in this spring!👍
Why not make the current kitchen area the living room? Glass is very expensive Adding a new bathroom is a must in my opinion, congratulations nice house hope you enjoy living there
How much is it to hire a commercial carpet cleaning machine? Will that be more cost-effective than buying carpet as a temporary solution while you're living there through the refurb? Curious about how you financed this property, was it all your cash or did you use bridging?
Mega - great getting a blank canvas like that. Lots of work but aesome to do. Ive done 2 now over the years. Watching along 👍 will you get a builder for the extension structure if it goes ahead? Sounds amazing what you have in mind.
Thanks Andrew 🙏 I’m taking notes of everyone whose watching and commenting on these first few videos as I really appreciate the support at this early stage of the UA-cam journey 🙌😅
We love auctions. In fact, me and Kush were discussing that we need to attend more this year. The key to auctions is the preparation before. Which includes: ✅ reading the legal pack ✅ knowing your max bid (as emotions can take over during the bidding process and you run the risk of over paying) ✅ knowing what the auction fees and other fees you need to pay for (such as paying the sellers solicitors fees could be one). ✅ contact your solicitors before the auction to get things setup as you’re on a timescale so you can let them know you might be successful and you want them to be ready for the 28 day timeframe. Sometimes this timeframe can be longer.
Fire content James, I'm a huge fan of your video 🙋♂ Out of curiosity, are you currently seeking video editors or a thumbnail designer to enhance your personal brand? May I send you a previous work sample?
Hi team, I am thinking of flipping houses through auctions. Are they any modules that deal with flipping houses and understanding the mechanisms of auctions. Yours sincerely, June Corriette
Hey June, yes inside the JPU we cover flipping properties in Module 1 and auctions in Module 2. Hope this helps. Still time left to join by visiting jamespropertyuniversity.io
1. Location (York has a great history with lots of tourist attraction) 2. Price (we secured very cheap for prices in this area as you can see in the video) 3. Potential - by adding an extension we can seriously uplift the value of this bungalow

What was your criteria for choosing the house.
1. Location (York has a great history with lots of tourist attraction)
2. Price (we secured very cheap for prices in this area as you can see in the video)
3. Potential - by adding an extension we can seriously uplift the value of this bungalow
Which auction did you buy this from
❤❤❤❤
What area is this mate? If i was to purchase something like this where i live it would be at least £400,000
It’s in york :)
This property was too cheap! Other properties have sold for £350,00 in the same area and condition
@@jamesproperty_ great find
First 😂
Wow! that was quick 😂
