"Our vision is that it will be so stunning - despite the area - that..." The three of the first words I taught my son were location. Location. LOCATION!!!
The moral of the story is, if someone with knowledge and experience comes along and gives you free advice, in fact begs you to listen, but you yourself think you are smarter than everyone else then this is what happens.
This couple are living proof positive that confidence isn't always a good thing. They had shut themselves off to good advice. They should have listened to Sarah.
I would think anyone who can afford this wouldn't buy in that ratty neighbourhood. Turning it into apartments was a brilliant idea, but not enough "fun" for people who want 10K fishtanks. How clueless and blockheaded they are. Whoever unloaded this albatross on them must have jumped for joy.
The biggest I’ve seen in all the property development programs is people get too emotionally involved in the redevelopment, adding too expensive things and putting their taste in things instead of doing a tidy, clean, magnolia, decent blank bathroom and kitchen.
A second comment: as mentioned in other episodes this remodel is to the owners' taste and not to the market's. You have to be pretty blind--and stubborn--to think that this expensive of a house would sell in such a run down area. The area isn't even being "gentrified."
This has to be one of the best episodes of this show - so funny, if only they had listened to the expert in the first place... hahahaha Seeing London Bridge is so weird knowing i was there last year...Sarah should come to Australia to do a season here that would be great.
i know! i was just browsing youtube and came across it - we have a show called 'house rules' over here, - which isn't the same as this exactly but it involves teams of people renovating a house together.....whilst having to do it within the 'rules'
Last year I was looking for episodes of the American version of "Property Ladder" but found this show instead. I have since seen every episode on YT. Far superior show!!!
Did they ever sell it, or just live in it? It's on the market now for £4.5mil as a one unit with movie room(someone else posted the listing). No zebra print or large head.
Lookout for the episode in which a dj bought a house on the countryside, did a lot of crazy changes that were doomed to fail, but ended up making a crazy profit. I remember the last scene he was chilling in the hot tub. Thankful for any help, would love to see that one again.
They could have just done the bloody flats in the first place instead of getting so emotionally involved spending all that money and then doing the flats anyway!!
I agree with all the comments. There is only one person to blame........the ignorant amateur 'developer'. It's laughable that he's blaming the builder. He obviously wasn't regularly monitoring the building process. If he couldn't do it then his architect should have been doing it. Zero sympathy
As has been noted, the road to financial ruin often begins with real estate. Not that all property development schemes end in ruin, of course. But if you’re in financial trouble, chances are it started with real estate.
I wonder how many children Sarah Beeny has. It seems like every few episodes she's pregnant again. Maybe 3? Maybe 4? I'm sure she's an absolutely a wonderful mom.
She actually said once it's easier to make the shows while pregnant, because once the babies are born obviously it makes it more difficult. So she did seem to be perpetually pregnant during the show for that reason.
Yes, let's put giant fish tanks in. What if 90% of buyers don't want or know how to maintain them? Oh, well - our tastes run to flashy and ostentatious which we mistakenly feel is upscale, so tough. To be fair, they don't appear to be particularly bright, especially Nigel.
People who don't take good advice are the best thing about this show. It was annoying during the rising market though that they frequently still made a shit load of money even after ignoring her. There was one ep where the young couple wanted to move to Australia. At the end of the show it turned out they would have made just as much profit by buying the house, waiting a while, and selling it without having done anything during that time.
Ah, she's a purist, an artiste with a vision - 'orrified at the thought of "ruining the architecture" of the sausage factory in this rundown neighbourhood. Anyway, what does Sarah know, with her small-minded suggestions?
@@juliansydney9819 you must be joking! If they had ignored her advice and gone ahead with a single massive house they'd have been financially ruined. Sarah has done redevelopments as a profitable business for YEARS.
@@nameundefinedname5307 Nope, that was from my memory when I saw the episode on TV. They have never repeated it, probably because she made the guests smoke a hubba pipe (those arabic things) before dinner lol
Is arrogance really, I mean really a bliss? They wonder why it was sold as a half finished project ! Two kids in candy shop is dangerous. I bought a house which was run down and sold it for twice the price due to the fact I simply decorated with 60ltr of paint and 20 rolls of paper, all done in 9 months. -------------HEAD NOT HEART.
Were this couple on something or did the rose coloured glasses blind them to reality! They were crazy with their ludicrous ideas! I would have tried to get 6 units!
Did they just want theirn5 minutes of fame on the Tele........or for us to be impressed that money is no object.....in fact they just look like a couple of chops.
I feel sorry for them. My Dad had a rude saying about wishful thinking. As was said in another episode: "Ignore Sarah's advice at your Peril..." The whole site is up for sale as of Aug 2020. I would not have been surprised if they did the only sensible thing after the first flat, and declared bankruptcy.
Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse could do a brilliant comedy sketch based on this format. He is like a cartoon character. She is just deluded and thinking with emotions and not facts.

This is the BEST EPISODE EVER!!! These yuppies are so thick!!! 😂

Blockheaded 😭💀🤣 Tattooing that into my vocabulary book 🤣
I'm curious to know where and how Sarah Beeny can find so many developers with so much money but absolutely no common sense
Fools and their money are soon parted.
Everybody is shouting at the screen saying “turn it into flats!!”
The biggest I’ve seen in all the property development programs is people get too emotionally involved in the redevelopment, adding too expensive things and putting their taste in things instead of doing a tidy, clean, magnolia, decent blank bathroom and kitchen.
I don't understand how you can have free access to a professional and not take that professional's advice.
He made the mistake of listening to his arrogant wife, who looked at it as a personal design project rather than an investment.
Yes it does amaze me. Take the advice of people who knows. Trouble is, they have a fixed perceived idea and they don't want to budge from it.
Which professional are you referring to?
@@adielstephenson2929 Sarah Beeny.
@@enigmabunny1 She's not a professional property investor.
I wish they would bring this show back, in Australia also!! Love it
Yeah me too. Loved it
8:50 as usual, Sarah gives golden advice and the developer ignores it. I already know they're gonna crash & burn, now I just watch the fireworks.
So.
Invite an Expert.
And then ignore there advice
Then go bankrupt .
Here we see the bloke that Harry Enfield based his ‘Tim nice but dim’ character on
😂😂😂
lmfao,and she sounds like Jane McDonald.
I came on comments to write Tim nice but dim. Then saw this! 😂
Only meeeee 🤣 You don't want to do it like that you do it like this 😂
Thank you for uploading. Please keep them coming!
The question I have is how do people who make such bad decisions have so much money to spend on this in the first place?
Loans
Mummy and daddy
They strike me as nouveau riche, probably an inheritance or maybe they won the lottery!
I find them to be revolting honestly.
Another prime example that fools never die!
There will always be plenty around - in an ever increasing number!

So so agree, and they still didn’t learn judging by their plans for the penthouse 🤦🏻♀️
Brilliant episode please keep uploading these!
Best episode ever. It's like watching a Mitchell & Webb PL episode.
Better than watching comedians!
This is a classic episode thank you for sharing
these 2 are absolutely hilarious
the sausage couple, omg why didnt listen to sarah, a proper pro.
they are so cocky and jolly at the beginning, bless them.
Criminal to partition a plain former sausage factory?
This is so much better than that homes under the hammer crap.
Adiel Stephenson yes property ladder and grand designs. My both favourites
I've never giggled through an episode until this out of touch couple showed up 😁
Then you haven’t seen many episodes. 90% off these people are laughable.
@@shastac1396
The first one I laughed at constantly
Love this show, Thank U for the uploads!
If they put in a mirrored bar and some poles it could be a good private strippper joint.
Cloud cuckoo land for sure😳 Have these two looked at the surroundings they are creating this yuppie pad!!
'Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise'
Thank you so much for uploading more episodes, I can't find them anywhere!
This has to be one of the best episodes of this show - so funny, if only they had listened to the expert in the first place... hahahaha Seeing London Bridge is so weird knowing i was there last year...Sarah should come to Australia to do a season here that would be great.

At 26.20 Nigel goes full Alan Partridge lol.
My cats would love a fishtank in their bathroom.
I'm sorry but realistic is not a word they have any understanding of! Delusional is much more appropriate!
Don’t overdevelop for your area.
Lookout for the episode in which a dj bought a house on the countryside, did a lot of crazy changes that were doomed to fail, but ended up making a crazy profit. I remember the last scene he was chilling in the hot tub. Thankful for any help, would love to see that one again.
The planned bathroom in the penthouse is hideous. Trashy. Oh well.
David Haselhoffs posh english brother?
He’s definitely not posh!
Thank you for uploading!!!
It's always the same story; they aren't taking into account that they are NOT going to live there!!!!!!!
They could have just done the bloody flats in the first place instead of getting so emotionally involved spending all that money and then doing the flats anyway!!
Sold for 3.6 million in 2016. They had quite a wait but it was worth waiting. I'm not sure if the buyer has managed to resell yet
I agree with all the comments. There is only one person to blame........the ignorant amateur 'developer'. It's laughable that he's blaming the builder. He obviously wasn't regularly monitoring the building process. If he couldn't do it then his architect should have been doing it. Zero sympathy
Hilarious episode!!!
That couple arnt together anymore and she doesn't live in that building anymore
As has been noted, the road to financial ruin often begins with real estate. Not that all property development schemes end in ruin, of course. But if you’re in financial trouble, chances are it started with real estate.
Why did that woman keep saying how beautiful the building was? Was she taking the piss?
I wonder how many children Sarah Beeny has. It seems like every few episodes she's pregnant again. Maybe 3? Maybe 4? I'm sure she's an absolutely a wonderful mom.
She has four children

@@mariahoness9410 Four boys!
She has 4 beautiful boys
developer Sarah convinced her man to not take expert sarah's advice to make flats. it bankrupted them. shame. they can't possibly still be a couple.
A golden rule , Keep Yourself Teachable !!! So sorry Sarah, most people will not be open to accept your wisdom.😮
The word HUBRIS was invented to describe this couple. SMH 🤦♀️
Yes, let's put giant fish tanks in. What if 90% of buyers don't want or know how to maintain them? Oh, well - our tastes run to flashy and ostentatious which we mistakenly feel is upscale, so tough. To be fair, they don't appear to be particularly bright, especially Nigel.
Did they sell it in the end
It annoys me they take no notice of sara

@@juliansydney9819 hahahaha she is rarely wrong!
It is her show after all!
These two are really in LaLa Land. I hope they never tackled another project. They are clueless!
Example that having a posh stance doesn't equal to intelligence.
For crying out loud....why don't people just listen to Sarah?
brutal location........
Zero curb appeal!
She was on come dine with me, was a pretty hilarious episode too!
oh man do you have the link to that ep?

Always consider what a professional says.
Why yes, I would like to move into a construction zone to fund your installation of a millionaire above me.
why do you start here if you don't understand it or have not even studied it yet and then also reject advice from someone who knows it
Crazy 😊

Their learning curve would have been much less steep had they listened to Sarah from the beginning. It always amazes me how novices ignore her wisdom.
Her idea of posh and upscale is tacky in the extreme.
Does anyone know what font they used when they put things on the screen like 'don't be afraid to change your plans"?
Sarah Do millionaires what to live in Rotherhithe.couple no.priceless.
As it’s London they would probably be in massive profit by now by holding it
Now they want to listen when they have spent/wasted so much time, money and effort
Things change. Ostentatious vulgarity just doesn't have the wide appeal it once had, wouldn't you say--
Did it sell
Take a shot each time she says 5000 square foot
Really, Who The F needs 5000 square feet to be happy.
Sarah's bustin'.
Were this couple on something or did the rose coloured glasses blind them to reality! They were crazy with their ludicrous ideas! I would have tried to get 6 units!
Great episode with Tim nice but Dim
HA!
A sausage factory!
MINE MINE MINE MIIIIIINE!!!!!!
And they brag about the architecture, but it's just a basic squared off building - flat ceilings and walls, no character whatsoever!
they didn't listen ..
Did they just want theirn5 minutes of fame on the Tele........or for us to be impressed that money is no object.....in fact they just look like a couple of chops.
Imagine having that poor taste and believing it’s upscale.
Why, oh why don't people on this show listen to Sarah.
She is always right!!!!
That couple are awful.
Hilarious 🤣 sorry but these people are completely 😱😱😱
Very frustrating couple
the guy has the poshest accent on any Property Ladder episode
Rubbish.
I feel sorry for them. My Dad had a rude saying about wishful thinking. As was said in another episode: "Ignore Sarah's advice at your Peril..."
The whole site is up for sale as of Aug 2020. I would not have been surprised if they did the only sensible thing after the first flat, and declared bankruptcy.
They split up after this episode was filmed

What a pair of dopes…
Sarah, you would do well if you started your own development training course for dummies ...
Don't you think that's what these programs are all about? They are very informative, whether people take heed or not is up to them!

It's got to be a spoof series ffs
