What ai did you use. Please
Yes every Sunday vids will be so cool 😎
Thanks Chris 😅
Yes
Love, love, love! The Bifolds upstairs, the exposed beams, the extension, and that whopper of a garden, we are here for all of this! 🥰😍
Aww thanks guys, we love that you guys can see the potential too!!!
Weekly videos are definitely a must. You guys are such an inspiration and full of joy no matter the stress.
Aw thank you, that’s so kind 🤩☺️😁
If you want to relocate the big plants/trees, try to do it when they are dormant. November to February probably
Wow, you have bought a real gem, it’s on such a stunning plot too, you definitely secured the best property! We have recently bought a 1960s house in a bit of a time warp; it doesn’t need extending but we’re feeling a bit overwhelmed where to start! We have the same lovely internal ply doors and similar colour carpets!
One thought on your garden, I wouldn’t necessarily move trees so you have a clear view from your kitchen extension to the end of the garden, it’s nice to create ‘rooms’ and interest with hard landscaping, paths, little patios, planting and lighting. You could use lighting around the trees to show the depth in the garden at night, would look amazing from the house.
I’ve recently discovered Kinging It, so to have two weekly vlogs for inspiration/tips would be fabulous, please do a Sunday clog! Looking forward to following along on your journey, wishing you the best of luck!
Hi Kate, thanks so much for your comment and for your ideas regarding the garden, that’s really useful to hear!
Best of luck with your 60’s renovation, really try to not get overwhelmed and take everything one step at a time- day by day.
Awesome that you’ve just found Kinging It- they’re wicked content creators and inspired us to start RUclips in the first place. We’ll try our hardest to get onto some weekly vlogs ASAP.
Have a great rest of your Sunday 🥰💪🏻
Will try not to get overwhelmed … taking it easy in the garden today! 😀
100% yes to the weekly videos! Will be awesome to see the transition of a huge project like that over time, and also be able to do some more detailed videos on particular aspects to the Reno
Yes please to the weekly videos and congratulations on your new purchase and adventure ❤
A front garden sloping towards the house can be good to look at from inside. If you build a retaining wall you either need a very nice wall or layered planting instead. Even with a retaining wall, you could keep a 30 degree slope for the bit between the wall and the house (assuming there's any space left after the car park). As for the long back garden, unless you're going for a Versailles look it's better not to have the whole length visible at once. Break up the view with planting or structures, leaving enough clues that there is more to explore like openings or tall trees. Also, the roof of that extension will be very prominent from the upstairs window, consider a green roof.
So much to say!! You pack so much in! I am so excited to actually see the house you are buying - there's SO much potential and knowing you, you'll make it really beautiful and homely. Your garden ideas are lovely too. I don't know enough about DIY to give you suggestions or tips, so I'll probably just pop over and bring cake every now and then! Of course, you'll both know already that my favourite bit of the video is at 9:05 - you're so funny!! And YESSSS to weekly vlogs, but don't work your butt off too hard Nicky to get them out! Loads of love to you both. xxx❤❤
You guy are such a lovely couple! Congrats on your house and much of luck with the renovation!😊 the videos always look great love the edits !
I'm 26 and have just had an offer accepted on my first house. Your videos have given me the confidence to tackle some DIY projects myself, and I'm so excited to get into it! Thanks for the inspiration, I can't wait to see how your new reno goes!
24 and in the exact same position! Watched all of Nicky and Harri’s last project and SO excited to see what they do with this place 🤩
Ah guys, amazing!! So glad we could help in some way! Your gonna absolutely smash it💪🏼😁
AHHH I'm so so happy for you guys!!! Can't wait to follow along!!
I know you are already talking about doing a extension for a new Kitchen out the back but longer term I would also consider doing a extension sideways where the current garage is too
Oh how exciting Im hooked! I hope Paloma and Chris are coming to help dig the foundations for the extension!
Def weekly guys, soo excited for this one. Congratulations on your new purchase
Ahhh, I'm so excited for this renovation! It looks like an incredible buy! Well done! 👏🤩
Exited to follow your journey on this awesome renovation project 🎉❤
fantastic video, i love the quality of the audio it is very good keep it up!
At last we finally find out about the new property. Well done guys. Looking forward to seeing this one progressing. Weekly vids is defo a must as well. Good luck
Finally!!!! What a relief!! 😅 thanks Kev, we’re so looking forward to it too!
Yes, please Nicky and Harri…. every week ….great!
Thanks Linda!!
How exciting! Weekly vlogs would be great! Can’t wait to see what you do.
I can’t wait to see you guys get stuck into this property! Definitely want to see weekly videos. I’m really into renovation videos at the moment and I love watching your channel ❤️ best of luck with this new project xx
Thanks Alison! We can’t wait either - thank you for sticking around for so long!🥰♥️
Just discovered you guys and are here for the journey!! On the landscaping and garden try not to remove large established trees and always work around them to keep and make them focal points if you can. They're the things that cant be readily replaced unless you have thousands of pounds to buy already established trees of a decent height. Garden and proportions (especially at the front of your house) is what takes a house to the next level. You dont want the front to look like a carpark even though you may want a carpark. Fully grown beautiful trees are an absolute gift and also once removed can change the character of a street..if everyone did it it wouldn't be the beautiful leafy area you fell in love with. Anyhoo...have fun..cant wait to see what evolves. 😊
We are so excited to be working with you on this project!😁
Omg amazing I’m soo excited to see new series ! This house is amazing I’m in love already ! ❤ good luck guys 😉
Thanks so much Joanna, we’re so excited and in love as well! 🥰🙌🏻

It's a gem. Looking forward to watching your journey x congratulations x
Thanks Tracy, a real gem! We can’t wait 🥰
Have you also thought about using the garage space. Having the garage as part of the house.
We’ve thought about it, but it’s not connected to the house! Running through some ideas with the architect 👍🏻
in so excited to see this come along! i can not wait to own my own property soon
Looking forward to this series, the more videos the better. Good luck on your new project.
Thanks Richard, updates coming weekly ASAP! 🙌🏻

Thanks so much Sarah, we’re so excited for this Reno! Team weekly 💪🏻🙌🏻🥰
YES, weekly videos please!!!!
Oh that’s a lovely place, look forward to seeing you get about that. Especially if it’s weekly blogs 🥰
Hey Marc! thank you, we’re pretty chuffed with it☺️ can’t wait for things to get rolling now😅
Wow….. deja vou !
We bought an old bungalow on a great street, probate sale. Went to closed bids, we only nicked it by £2k😅
Architect engaged and planning permission passed.
We have completed phase one finishing just before Christmas 2023. Rear extension vaulted ceiling gable end glazed…..absolutely delighted with it.
We are agate grey windows on chalk rendering…….. looks really fresh.
Central heating and solar prep done.
Phase two starting in July to remodel the front.
We are a lot older than you guys ……. So we will be not doing too much ourselves.
Around £1500-2000 p/sm for extensions/remodel….. seems to be the current going rate for West Midlands.
Good luck…… we will be watching 👍
Can't wait , weekly vlogs yes please. Love the house too x
Thank you so much!!! We can’t wait 🥰🥳
Definitely need a video every week love your content an love the house good luck guys 👍
Thanks very much Darren, we’ll be keeping you in the loop regarding our posting schedule 😅

Looking forward to this house renovation yippee so excited for your up dates each week 🏠❤️👍
Heheeeee us tooo!!😁🏡
Every week would be amazing, really looking forward to this project well done to both of you
Thanks Sam!
I would definitely keep the lower level brick and render the top half of the front of the house. Brick, I feel, is a classic English note and also is a nod to the original house. Love the look! Can't wait to see your renovation series!
Love the house, well done finding that gem! Totally agree with your final decision on the outside of the property, keep the French cottage idea for your forever home Nikki. Weekly videos please as there will be so much work here so you can’t make us wait 2 weeks haha. I’m so excited for you both ❤
We’ll be trying for weekly vids, glad you love Nicks ideas and the house as much as us! (She’s a beauty!). We can’t wait to show you our Reno series 🙌🏻🥰
Absolutely love the new house & can’t wait to see what you do with it! On that note I would 100% love to see a weekly vlog, have missed you guys.
Awh thanks Becky! We can’t wait to show you the rest of the house- roll on weekly uploads 🙌🏻😊
Only came across u guys a month ago & have literally binge watched all ur videos. U are such a lovely couple & I love ur enthusiasm & the fact ur not afraid to have a go at anything. U really are an inspiration!!! Hope the new house goes well for u & as trouble free as possible.

Yes please to weekly episodes on your new property👍 Great purchase 👍 I love it 🙂
Thanks very much Jason, we’re so chuffed everyone’s loving it!! 🙌🏻
Weekly videos are 100% needed, great video as always
thank you!☺️
Weekly would be great! And congratulations, your enthusiasm is amazing!
Thanks so much Perry, we’re really excited about this one 💪🏻
Love the new project guys, it's perfect! I would approach your renovation budget by working backwards (a GDV valuation). E.g If the potential value of the completed property is £750k, deduct your purchase price & costs (~£,460,000) leaving you with the budget (~£290,000), excluding any profits you may be aiming to make. Looking forward to seeing the journey.
I'd Love the weekly videos and did ask for it last reno, but I know how much hard work it is to do a weekly video when you are working so hard and how much it takes!! so I am happy with whatever and we are still waiting for a little harold lol!!
Hahah a little Harold might be a couple years off😅😅 but we are defo excited for that chapter too!! and yessss we reckon weekly vlogs will be a little bit of a challenge but we’re gonna go for it and hope for the best!
Yippeee, another renovation series....I am so looking forward to it!!!! Congrats you two. From first glance I would get rid of the tree shrouding the house, it is a danger first of all it could fall on the house given the site is on a slope down toward the house, it is blocking light from what I saw and also it is not pretty. I could be wrong....plus if you are transplanting large shrubs from the back garden just make sure to do it when they are dormant (like Oct/Nov or Mar/Apr) to give them the best chance of re-rooting and surviving in their new spot when they wake up. But either way I cannot wait!
Thanks for all this advice, very useful knowing to do it in their dormant season! We can’t wait to bring you this Reno series- and to show you step by step our progress! 🥰🙌🏻
So excited for you both! Congratulations. Definitely weekly at least. Modern country style is my favourite ❤️
Thank you Julie! We are sooo excited. Modern country is justtttt the best! ♥️☺️
@@NickyandHarri 🏡 ❤️
That’s amazing, as the d saying goes looks can be deceiving, i can’t wait to see the transformation 🙏🙏
They sure can be Josh- we can’t wait to show you the Reno plans next episode 🙌🏻🫨
Just subscribed! Looks like a great project!
Whooooop well done you pair. Yes weekly videos awsome, a small terrace out of the bifold doors onto the extension for a morning brew 👍
Ideal Ricky, that would be a treat! Team weekly 💪🏻🙌🏻
Congratulations on your new house, can't wait to see the changes. Would have loved to do this when I was young, love your enthusiasm! ......... 🏡
Thank you!! that’s so kind, we’re very excited 😛 ☺️
Love it
Good luck to you both 🍀🍀 weekly vlogs would be great 😊
Thank you!☺️🥰
A Sunday wouldn’t be complete without the obligatory Nicky and Harri video, what a treat. Top work as always guys 😎 x
Thanks Karl, we can’t wait to bring you weekly updates 🙌🏻😊
Congratulations to you both, a cracking property to get your teeth into. Looking forward to you next series as you take everyone on your journey. Fingers crossed your channel skyrockets with new subscribers bringing you the rewards you both deserve. Happy planning and future awesome vlogs.
Thank you! We’re so looking forward to this next journey :)
I'd love to have weekly videos to watch of you guys progressing. even if you achieve less but maybe have extra detail on whatever you do achieve a weekly video would be nice. Looking forward to this project and seeing how you turn it into something awesome!
Glad you like the idea of weekly vids! It will be a challenge but it’s something we want to make work! Were so excited!
Well done, this is going to be exceptional it has so much potential. 👍👍
HEAPS of potential 🫨
I love this house and yes please I would love weekly episode's
I was glued to your last series, and wished it was every sunday .
A bit yessssss to weekly xxx
We’re so glad you enjoyed the last series enough to come back for more! Weekly uploads seems to be in demand- so we’ll make it happen!! 🙌🏻😅
Yes yes yes!! Well done! Weekly vlogs ace ❤🎉👏🙌👊🏻🤪🌟
Thanks Lesley- we can’t wait for this DIY series 🙌🏻😅
Can’t wait for more videos x
Weekly videos inbound soon!!
Congrat, just found your channel. Im looking to move soon so subbed to get some ideas. Btw, bifold doors are quite heavy so consideration will need to be taken if you plan on putting them on that roof extension.
I didnt see your last project but given kitchen, extension, parking i think it will be tough to keep under 75k. (Never done it before so educated guess)
After seeing this video, I went ahead and (binge) watched some of the videos from your first project haha, I love the idea of one day buying & renovating my own house (though I'm even old enough to move out in general yet...) so it was a real inspiration to see that my ideas aren't so far-fetched 😅 (especially the price of the kitchen!!🤯)
Thanks for this comment, so great to know that we’ve inspired you a litttle bit! It’s all VERY do-able, you will kill a home renovation one day 💪🏻🙌🏻
Oh, weekly vids? Yes please!!!!!
Weekly is great, just showing work in progress, no need for a big reveal! Really looking forward to it. All your plans sound great.
100% our plan for this series! Team weekly 💪🏻🙌🏻
Ermmm I can’t believe you had to ask , bring us the weekly content 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Yayyyy!! Will do!!🥰♥️
Definite yes to weekly vlogs please!
🙌🏻🥰🥰🙌🏻
Hey guys I’m a new follower and I have been BINGEING your video😂 love love love, if you don’t mind me asking… with the renovation and purchase of the house you guys recently did, where did you get the fund or how did you get the funds? I would love to start my own! You guys didn’t AMAZING
Hey guys can't wait to follow along your new reno!
Regarding waste management, I understand that grab lorries work out much cheaper than skips 👍🏻
Love the traditional English cottage look with white render.
I'm thinking at least £100k budget (a lot more if it wasn't DIY!)
Thanks for watching along! ☺️ think we might agree with you on that one - grab lorries would probably make much more sense!
Weekly videos would be awesome, I've been looking forward to your next renovation since you finished the last one 😁
Thanks Andy, we’ve been waiting for it too tbh! Killing time trying to keep ourselves busy until we found our dream house- but it’s here now!! 😅
Yes to weekly episodes!! 🎉
Team weekly 💪🏻🙌🏻
Hella yea to every Sunday please 🙌
Looks like a belter that one. Taking your time finding the right house has paid off.
Thanks so much, patience pays off hey!! 🥰
Im crazy bout this YT channel! Love from the 🇵🇭
