- If you've got a view to die for and millions of pounds, then you can't go wrong, can you? Tonight Sarah Beeny meets two developers who think their dream locations mean that they've got it made. In Brighton, Myles Gilbert is investing a staggering £2 million in a huge Georgian building right on the seafront.
The couple who restored that cottage deserve to get every penny they can get - as well as a medal for saving such a fabulous piece of property. Absolutely gorgeous!
Sarah was so right about that chapel. That guy totally messed up that renovation. The mezzanine allowing the front room to go up with full windows and a chapel roof was spot on, as was the relocation of that stairway. Sarah has so much experience in property renovation, why don't these people take her advice?
I can't decide whether some of them are just plain stupid or just too arrogant, until I remember that stupidity and arrogance go hand-in-hand: the stupid are always sure they are right, and the arrogant are always sure they are not stupid.
Thank you so much for the upload, I love Property Ladder and you are a star for putting them on here, so so grateful my friend 😀
The theme seems to be that those who listen to Beeny, a highly successful property broker, do a whole lot better than those who discount her advice. In the case of the chapel, she was certainly right. Didn't build a family home and didn't take advantage of the building's character.
It's very frustrating watching people ruin buildings.
I LOVE it when the developers actually choose to listen to Sarah.
I love Jackie and Vaughn..such a lovely and in love couple! Great episode.
The cottage is absolutely gorgeous! Too bad all the unique features of the church, like the spectacular windows and soaring ceiling, were covered up. Why bother buying a church if you're going to do that? A shame.
Am I the only one that think the one couple looks like Monica and Chandler from friends but as they would be as the age Monica and Chandler are today, not the age they were when the show originally aired.
ACTUALLY... in the end, the chapel wasn't as bad as I'd thought it was going to be. On 'Escape To The Country' they've shown chapels that were unfathomable (to me) as a living space. I underestimated this guy. He did a good job, although, as always, he could have listened to Sarah a BIT more. Still, thank God he shelved the wallpaper idea! I thought BOTH properties were well done.
How can you not listen to Sarah’s advice? She‘s more successful than any of these funny people!
love this show....especially the personalities
What I don't get is; why choose an unconventional building, only to chicken out during the reno process, by turning the interior into a conventional family home? Such dichotomy should be a crime! No buyer in their right mind; for that particularly small market, would buy such property...regardless of the high-end finishes. It's like having a Lamborghini exterior with a station wagon interior LMAO that's just straight up wrong. Had he taken advantage of that mezzanine, he would have easily bagged half a mil. His final words were his wisest. Property investment isn't for him.
I agree!
Great analogy!
You don't buy that chapel for boring modernity. You want drama and grandiosity. Stairways and balcony with a view.
Absolutely.
Great series
Ruined the chapel / That cottage is awesome !
I wish i had Sarah s advise!
What William Green said. Thank you!!
What a shame that people with no idea buy these wonderful buildings and with no commonsense, screw them up
I've seen every single Gordon Ramsay and Hotel Inspector. UA-cam: " Property Ladder"? Okay!
not just me, then lol
money/ ego... surpasses smart decisions
Both developers are making good healthy profits and completed in such a short time... well done on that, although shame for the chapel it could have been done better and more impressive ..
'Stickin' to me guns.' But... your powder is wet.
'Stickin' to me guns.' But.... you've got no bullets.
'Stickin' to me guns.' But... you're up to your eyebrows in water and the guns are dragging you under.
'Stickin' to me guns.' Glib, glub, glub.
"I don't have the inclination to reconsider" is different than "I'm sticking to me guns."
It's too bad he did put a full 2nd floor in the chapel because it would have been very dramatic if the front part of the house was open to showcase the windows. It would have made the space look so much larger.
I've had a central vacuum system in two different homes and love it. I find it much easier and less tiring to use than a conventional vacuum which can get pretty heavy after a while. You don't need to haul the hose around the house with a built in system. You just stretch the hose out full length and then start vacuuming. When you've reached as far as the hose will go you plug it into another outlet and continue with your vacuuming.
Here in the U.S. there's now a trend to build bigger houses on smaller lots because lots have gone up so much in price. Building codes here require a minimum lot size of .25 of an acre.
I guess we're very spoiled here in the U.S. because we consider a .25 acre lot small.
Town I live in in NH? 1 1/4 A for a new build. Property taxes are a bit high!
@@MrsEJV Wow...1 1/4 acres is a lot as far as being affordable. I think property taxes are getting higher everywhere. We moved farther out and bought a smaller house to save money and have lower property taxes.
I bet the 1 1/4 acre lots are nice--as long as you don't mind extra yard work (another reason we moved to a smaller place).
Vacuum cleaners are cheap to buy.i always put o e in garage,one in workshop and one on each floor of the house u just put it in a closet no problem.
@@alisonbarratt3772 That's a great idea. Your solution is a lot cheaper than installing a central vacuum system.
My problem is that I have MS and pushing anything with a heavy motor really tires me out. My husband bought me a battery powder vacuum because he thought it'd be easier for me to use, but it's very tiring, too, because the motor is heavy and you have to continually pull the trigger for it to go. (We bought an older house 3 months ago that doesn't have a central vacuum system. I miss it!)
Before my MS symptoms appeared I had no problem with a regular vacuum. It was always scary lugging a vacuum up the stairs.
@@happydays1336 sorry to hear that you have M.S I myself have E.D.S. type 3 Hypermobility,so ican relate to you.i am always exhausted,have mobilitu issues,fall down easily and dislocate all day long,i find the vacuums made now a days are just cheap plasticand so theyare light weight, i have found many that are fine for me to use. TAKE Care,.
I like Sarah's hair like this.
the chapel have become a chic office.
It should be illegal to get the chapel and divide it to two floors loosing all the beauty inside!!!!
Poor Steve...ignores free professional advice
People think ANYONE can design a house. NOT SO. There are a million ways to muck up a building. The guy who bought the church, in his stubbornness, even when SHOWN how it could be properly, BEAUTIFULLY done... clung to an outdated notion. How could anyone think that paltry windows that begin at the floor and end at the knees are a 'feature' ?!?! THAT alone would have me saying "No." to a house, I wouldn't care WHAT the rest of it offered.
Design takes actual Vision.
These people. 🤦♀️😭
Space and light, says Sarah Beeny, Space and Light.
Space and light? says the developer? People will never buy space and light. What people want is for you to raise their expectations as they approach the building, and then let them down with a resounding thud when they walk in the door. That's how you sell a building!
Sigh.
Chapel ended up looking like a long corridor. Meh.
(19:55) SAME COUNTERPANE as:ua-cam.com/video/wtCRmJrmlc0/v-deo.html (at 36:56)!
They both did really well, but I agree the garage with the cess pit was a step too far. Buyers like the thought of adding value and that's just what the next buyer will be looking for. The couple made the right choice.
Seems the agents point things out that Sarah has already stated are their lines scripted. Happens in every episode.
Can Sarah stop whining about the annex to the cottage - they didn't have the money! Sometimes this shows feels like it is all about Sarah having the last word and being right - all the scripting and editing!
How can someone live in a church knowing what it’s really meant for?
You could say the same about converted barns!
