- In this episode the developers have done very well out of the buy to let market during the property boom. But now they are risking everything to converting an abandoned Devon railway station which has been left to languish on the edges of Dartmoor for the past 40 years. It’s Grade 2 listed and a massive project but that doesn’t stop them wanting to use them to launch a brand new business in which they have no experience.. Sarah quickly realises they’ve got their plans and potential market all wrong, just as the crucial Easter deadline for opening passes them by,. Will they listen to her advice or will the recession scupper their business before they’ve even begun?
I watch a lot of these shows and it always amazes me that people with little no or experience invariably feel that their ideas are better than hers... it's like free advice, just amazing the ego and narcissism of these particular people.
well, sarah has only been doing this for twenty years or so, so what does she know, right? :-P
if you're lucky enough to be on this program and get this kind of advise, you have to be a total idiot not to take any of it. have these people ever even watched this show?
@@EV0LS1D0G Makes you wonder!
This show should be called, "How to deal with pompous idiots." Sarah is amazing.
Every time I watch one of these programmes I am trying to think of a better title 🤣 Like Property Pergatory, or something. I've only seen one episode where the people listened and did as she said, and they made the profits. I also often wonder if the people really are so self absorbed that they can't see how stupid they look.
Sarah is so diplomatic, it must be so hard not to burst out laughing at most of the "developer's"
In the off season, I would rent the covered station to wedding venues, celebrations, even model rail roaders, craft fairs.
Its such a pretty underused area. They have beautiful views... find a purpose in off seasons, reduce rent to 800. Per week and they would be used year round.
Take advantage if all that space and off season times.
EXCELLENT idea!
I find it amusing that first time developers think they know more than an expert like Sarah.
EVERY time.
Sarah has so much patience; I really don’t know how she continues to speak to these ‘developers.’
It’s not optimism, it’s willful ignorance smothered in arrogance. 🤦♀️🙄🤷♀️😫
They decide to blow their budget and sell their family home instead of listening to a property advisor..
The husband thinks he is an optimist but in reality he is just a stubborn doofus.
The wife is the realist of the couple. Maybe she should be the sole developer in this partnership.
Every time I hear of people this age "risking it all" to build monuments to their egos, I shudder. He's so pompous, pretentious, and so thick-headed - who needs a bathroom upstairs in a so-called "luxury" property? - it makes you hope he fails. His wife is a doormat and Sarah has the patience of a saint.
This bloke will end up with a small fortune. Unfortunately he's starting with a larger one.
Peter S 😂😂
Just ONCE I’d like to see some of these amateurs actually listen to Sara’s advice. I find it very frustrating!!
Natasha Kohut There have been people who followed Sarah's advice.
I’ll have the find the episode but there was one couple who followed everything Sarah said! It was pretty amazing!
@@all4jesusall4him37 Yes please! I want to see that one!
It's hilarious watching them trying to run such a business while forcing people to pay for living the way they want, not the way people want.
These 2 will not be winners, they just do not have a good head for how people wish to holiday and live. The bathroom upstairs issue and refusing to move a doorway to solve the problem of guests not having to go downstairs just to pee, is just so stupid, they are shooting themselves in the foot, the are dreamers and are very silly.
How stupid they are getting up at night when u are fast asleep to go down stair cases means older people or anyone with health issues of any age or anyone that wants to just hurry and pee snd quickly get back in bed will not want to rent there.
@@alisonbarratt3772 ABSOLUTELY!
@@andreaandrea6716 And what about someone having to go downstairs with a child in their arms. I would never rent that type of unit.
@@evelyntheriault3698 Nor would I!!
This just gets worse and worse. They were specifically trying to avoid a cutting edge website due to the age of the station?! That’s it. I detest this idiotic couple.
LOL they are so delusional thinking someone will pay 2,000 quid. I love the Beeny's reaction like wut lol
I avoid shared bathrooms every single time I need to rent a room. Especially having to go through a lounge to get there. This guy got his head in the gutter
I used to let rooms in a shared house where the only bathroom was downstairs beyond the kitchen. Nobody seemed to be too bothered. I had two lodgers who both stayed for 3 years.
Because I knew that tenants would be rough on furnishings, I furnished as cheaply as possible: melamine cupboards and bedroom furniture, and cord carpets. I had it re-done when I stopped taking in lodgers.
This was painful to watch!!
I wanted to root for these people, but they just seem so stupid! You have someone who could really help you yet they think they know best! I would have been excited for them to use the platform as inside space! And what a shame to lose so much of the buildings character! They have no one to blame but themselves and their own egos for their mistakes! I hope no one ever pays him 1700 pounds! Should have listened to Sarah!!
this guys ego gets in the way of logic
Stubborn idiots...
@Matthew Kirby - well said, stubborn idiots pretty much sums it up
@Daniel - Yes, they seem full of themselves and not very smart, perhaps trying to increase their social standing? 😁
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship Their problem is that they failed to realise that they were not going to be the guests.
They did things based on their own tastes , not form a business perspective.
I'm glad that they made improvements to a dilapidated railway station that now has a second chance. Hopefully things will/have improved and they make a successful go at it. All the best to them in their venture..
Sounds sometimes that they are going against the expert advice (Sarah) out of spite.
They are so thick! Unbelievable.
Top end is a bit more than hanging a dressing gown on the back of a door Col. It is a dream piece of architecture but perhaps longer term plans for ROI. The fact that the station closed should be a clue that demand is not in this location. Gobsmacked at Sarah’s ideas !?! They must be kidding with all that first class advice. Take mules to water....Col?Jen step up, leave it to Sarah she’ll get the solution. Thanks for posting the show. Good luck to them anyway, will be thriving by now.
You couldn't pay me to stay in a holiday let where I'm watched by a block of condo windows.
Just no.
Do your show's bookers deliberately look for stubborn participants that will not accept the guidance of a more knowledgeable and successful property developer?
That doesn't surprise me at all!
Nice footage showing the GWR Tavistock South despite the subject being about the former SR Tavistock North
Backpackers paradise might have been a win win situ I stayed in Brighton one week it was a fab experience and I reasonable turnover to get a good return.
That's a creative idea :-)
2,000 a week.You must be joking.
I’d have turned the station into my house. One house.
And maybe have conducted tours around parts of it as a 'Railway Museum'.
So many good points by Sarah
...im used that sarah always torned down by her ideas but her ideas are good and realistic.. and shes amazing on how she accept the decision of the owners..
I Just saw my purple courier van not sure if it was me driving but it looked damn clean any one know what year this program was filmed if it was 07 it could have been me.
They say 2007
I wish that people would listen to you Sarah. Yo do know what you’re talking about. I think they missed an opportunity by not using the front.
This episode could act as an example of what inflexibility will get you. Throughout, the inability to acknowledge the challenges and downturns and change plans to accommodate them, resulted in financial loss. Dogged adherence to the original (and flawed, impractical plan) cut into profit and got this couple deeper in debt at every turn. Despite examples of others' successes, they forged ahead in their Newbie Ignorance, and then seemed surprised when things didn't work for them. "You can't fix Stupid!"
Heard they started selling all three as cottages in 2020
Antique for information are things more than 100 years old, repros from the 80's don't really count.
That's right!!
Keep yourself Teachable especially if the teacher is Sarah!😊
42:16 Boris Johhson 😂
20 years later and it's still only £716 per week low season and £1,200 per week high season. Lol.
I’ve looked at the guy who did the railway station on the show. He was totally out of step with the price at that moment. Much to reliant on the market continuing to rise. Delusional .
Wow Sarah knows exactly what works and these dreamers are unbelievable lol 😂🤣😂🤣 Sarah gives her expert advice and no one believes her that she has to prove her point.
Most of them no clue at all
They need to listen to the experts.
Lot's of should have on this one.
Clueless people. Aside from their big blunders, there are so many common sense errors. Example: They had carpet laid before final plumbing etc. And then complain that it gets dirty. ??????
How do you spend a fortune on a property and have half your teeth missing??
Ignore Sarah at your own peril. Is there any follow up on how these guys are 10 years on?
I've developed a huge property myself, a 30's club, 600m2, but i sort of seen an opportunity and took it, just before this crash that happened, i also renovated stuff as well now and then, but why on Earth would you waste you life with all this shite just so you can show people your new stuff you can buy, in the end you can't take it with you
Colin is dragging Jenny into the gutter slowly, he's bankrupted his family chasing a stupid dream.
It was supposed to be finished for Easter, now a Summer finish is at risk.
£4000 + / month mortgage and they've sold their own house so presumeably have to rent somewhere. They have 3 x rentals @ £1000/week rental and not every week, maybe 20 weeks/year is £60k/year or £5k/month. If they got agents in @ 25% charge rental would drop to £750/week but rent period woulx no doubt increase, letz say 27 weeks is £60k/year or £5k/month.
I don't recall them discussing hiw much overspend on the restoration but Colin has bankrupted his family at a time in life they should be retiring and settling down, what a crying shame..
(36:25): "I might cut your manhood off with a rusty knife." ???!!! This will make you question the developers' sanity, if all the nay-saying hadn't already.
Such nice people! Their faces are hospitable & welcoming.
His ego is so great he ignored Sarah's professional advice. He reminds me of a TV film gangster, but just wants to profit his own way and is utterly deluded.
poor sarah... u ve to many ‚small thinking ppl‘ around in u show
What?
Why do these fools come on the programme 🤷♀️
So much negativity... Should you all be inspired including the host
Lee's House Sliema Malta They had unrealistic expectations for what the market was at the time. It's not called being negative. It's called being realistic. It's like what Sarah said. They were expecting to rent out for twice the amount of time at double the cost than similar places in the area at the time. No. Just no.
What exactly should we be inspired by?
It's not negativity, it's being realistic!!!
36:20 they left this in?? They didn’t cut it or censor it?? This woman is vile and of if I ever find her, she’s done in a brutal fashion.
