Neil Hornsey and Alison Gurr think that a lock up down a dodgy alley next to a pub and a fishmongers holds the key to their fortune in Broadstairs, Kent.
20K to renovate that jail? On what planet? Jail lady is willing to go broke for her artistic vision and esthetics. It's a jail, not a manor house. Two flats are a great idea and the ancient and beautiful exterior can be left original.
If I was living in the jail house. The I would agree with sue and keep it as a house. As she is selling, it’s all about profit and not to let her heart rule her head. If she is selling, what difference would it make if she had two flats or a house. She’s not living there and once she get paid. She’ll forget all about it. What is it with people that they don’t listen to Sarah why have her in the beginning
Thanks for up-loading these valuable lessons on property development, Sarah is very smart with money. She’s also pretty tactful with leading suggestions - pick them up and then make a profit and have great places for people to live.
The beauty of following great, practical free advice is that generally everyone wins: Sarah's a valid, long-term expert. And it's no fun buying a property that's been carelessly planned, and executed, by novices. If the featured new developers ignore Sarah, so much the better for the rest of us.
Sarah is obviously knowledgeable and has some great advice. I love the show concept. But sometimes she is really rude and just cannot let it go when people don't take her advice. Learn to let it go. I agree that the lady with the Jail house should have considered doing 2 flats...I agree that she was too attached to the property but you gotta respect her dreams, and ALL her hard work. She had balls to do all that own her own. Please don't kick her when she's down. Geez. Just my opinion
The jail lady is a prime example of what not to do when property developing! I particularly like when she'd been so over her multiple-postponed schedule that she finally conceded it's because she has had no point of reference; correction jail lady...Sarah was your point of reference, and you vehemently refused her expert opinion. Oh well, your money, your jail.
Unbelievable. The prison house woman is building in heels...The shop storage guy wants to spend a third of his budget on a glitzy staircase. While passing up a great opportunity to 1000% enhance the dingly back alley...
I dont think she was really doing the work at all I think the camera crew just asked her to do it for the camera thats why she was wearing heels. Its a tv programme so they are all pretty fake really.
I agree with you. I think the dynamic of the show involves Sarah advising the would be developers, usually without success. Personally, I think they are idiotic not to follow her advice since she really does know what works and how to maximise your chances of a decent profit. But the show wouldn’t have much bite if everyone did everything Sarah advises!
Since I've read "Property Investment for Beginners..." by Rob Dix, I started watching "Property Ladder" and I love it. The problem is, I can't find many episodes. Thanks for uploading some, keep them coming.
you could make a drinking game out of this episode every time Sarah shrugs her shoulders in mild disgust take a drink you will be drunk before the show is over.
Neil was TOTALLY OFF not getting the alley way and a gate. I don't get his reasoning at all. Especially since he was willing to spend £20k on stairs. Utter nonsense.
Sue, the jailhouse woman, is a former welfare officer - annnnd, she isn’t hiring local tradespeople to do the work! ‘Brilliant’ (as the brits would say)! Don’t hire folks in the neighbourhood who are trying to pay their bills by working at their jobs. [Edit] - good episode ... it made me feel most of my emotions!!!!!!
Really? I don’t think the primary Design Feature should be a Staircase. A Stunning Painting on that wall makes more sense. A Large Peter Max, would be my suggestion.
Neil and Alison have clear ideas AND are willing to consider advice. Good on them. Sue was painful to watch from the get-go. Yes, people are interested in historical property conversions. But not in being incarcerated.
I feel so sorry for Sarah, she has to give advice with a smile to people who don't want to hear her views. She is trying to let them understand that they will save money and knows what people will like. Why does no one listen to her. Some buyers are downright rude to her.
It's upsetting how developers like the host (forgotten her name), are loosing their heads and souls in pursuit for the profit, whilst destroying the cultural heritage of this country. Shame on you!
The thing is that the gaol buyer presented herself as a developer, and Sarah (the host/development advisor) gave her the advice a novice developer needs. It turned out that the gaol woman saw the gaol as a passion project and basically wanted to preserve a historical building - which is fine (in fact admirable) but meant that she was essentially wasting her development advisor's time.
Two choices: renovate to live in yourself so you design what you want OR renovate to sell at a profit. I think Sarah’s ideas are intelligent, thoughtful, and designed to work with the particular property which may be high-end, mid-market, or low end.

Why would you want to spend 20k on the staircase but not 15k to have the drive/gates at the front 🤔

I can't believe they din't buy the alley. They would have easily got that money back and probably more.
fools.
@@donnyreiss1180 Penny-wise and pound-foolish!
Judging by their apparent acute financial situation, they couldn't afford to turn this one down. A wasted opportunity.
These people! Why in the world did they call for advice, if they didn't need advice? It's beyond comprehension.
I agree with you Sarah I would buy the alleyway.
I think two flats would be a great idea. If you think with your heart and not your head you lose money.
I love this show & Sarah Beeny. Thanks so much for posting all the seasons.
Thank you for posting these
Always loved this series
Why did this lady bother wasting the host's time & expertise when she "knows it all"? Let her waste her $ on her own.
With Neil shouldn’t it be, we want instead of, I want. I thought it was a joint venture

Finally, someone listens to an expert.
Sue, with the jail is arrogant and defensive. Why did she bother even agreeing for Sarah and the programme to be involved?
Who would want to live next to a fish monger and a pub?
30:41 lol cringe
Wow 36:36 just wow
Someone deaf with no sense of smell might buy it...😬
That know it al jail woman 😱 Why go on the show then ignore all the advice 🤷♀️
over and over these people ignore Sarah's expert advice. Is it b/c they're not business savvy and stubborn or b/c they discount a woman expert?
The empty capricorn hemperly fold because cabinet atypically concentrate into a tender tense double. handsome, penitent amusement
Is that a cryptic clue?
First rule of property development. Do what is going to make you the most money. These people rarely listen to Sarah who is an experienced developer.
The money they saved on the staircase could have got them the freehold carport space.
That was madness not to buy that! Absolute insanity
It was a real shame the estate agents didn't also quote for the wonderfully viable freehold purchase/electric gates/intercom.

As it’s an alley by the pub, you just know that people will use it to relive themselves.
I dont think she was really doing the work at all I think the camera crew just asked her to do it for the camera thats why she was wearing heels. Its a tv programme so they are all pretty fake really.
i like how the host tells it like it is, shes really smart, i would be listening to her, and i am a seasoned property investor

Personally, I think they are idiotic not to follow her advice since she really does know what works and how to maximise your chances of a decent profit. But the show wouldn’t have much bite if everyone did everything Sarah advises!
The show would get boring fast if everyone did what was advised
The potential should have been to get that alleyway so that the house is enclosed. It would have been completed. It could have been amazing. X
Since I've read "Property Investment for Beginners..." by Rob Dix, I started watching "Property Ladder" and I love it. The problem is, I can't find many episodes. Thanks for uploading some, keep them coming.
jail lady knows it all.......
you could make a drinking game out of this episode every time Sarah shrugs her shoulders in mild disgust take a drink you will be drunk before the show is over.
I don’t think my liver would survive!😂
Just when think Sarah must have run out of idiots.....she finds more!
Thank you so much for posting more episodes! Will you be adding more? They’re impossible to find anywhere...!
Neil was TOTALLY OFF not getting the alley way and a gate. I don't get his reasoning at all. Especially since he was willing to spend £20k on stairs. Utter nonsense.
Jail house lady is very snappy at the host when she offers good advice
hahaha i was thinking the same!
Neil knows everything. Kinda wishing they take a massive loss.😤
Arrogant comes to mind when I hear Neil
Thanks for putting these on, we don't watch tv and we live in Poland so we always are looking for something interesting to watch
Beeny's restoration nightmare is a series on Utube, it's great!!!
Sue, the jailhouse woman, is a former welfare officer - annnnd, she isn’t hiring local tradespeople to do the work! ‘Brilliant’ (as the brits would say)! Don’t hire folks in the neighbourhood who are trying to pay their bills by working at their jobs.
[Edit] - good episode ... it made me feel most of my emotions!!!!!!
With Neil, my gay-der is going off🤔
Really? I don’t think the primary Design Feature should be a Staircase. A Stunning Painting on that wall makes more sense. A Large Peter Max, would be my suggestion.
Wow gaol lady. The unique building has already been converted to residence! It’s been irrevocably changed already! So many bad decisions.
Why are people the know it all and not open to good ideas from the experts!
Also what happened to the jailhouse?
She decided to use it as a holiday let.
TWO YEARS ON..... WHAT HAPPENED TO THE JAIL PROPERTY?
She's going to have a "beenie baby"...
Why doesn't anyone listen to the presenter. They are mad!
Neil and Alison have clear ideas AND are willing to consider advice. Good on them. Sue was painful to watch from the get-go. Yes, people are interested in historical property conversions. But not in being incarcerated.
I feel so sorry for Sarah, she has to give advice with a smile to people who don't want to hear her views. She is trying to let them understand that they will save money and knows what people will like. Why does no one listen to her. Some buyers are downright rude to her.
Question of the episode: How long will it take before Alison wakes up and gets a divorce?
Thank you so much for posting these!

The squalid horse methodologically land because asphalt substantially arrest barring a fresh subway. flagrant, large stock
I just feel anything renovated on this show according to Sarah Beeny, would be cheap and tacky and done to sell, over quality
Two choices: renovate to live in yourself so you design what you want OR renovate to sell at a profit. I think Sarah’s ideas are intelligent, thoughtful, and designed to work with the particular property which may be high-end, mid-market, or low end.
