Double Your House For Half The Money Season 2 Episode 1 Ascot and Maidstone

we all have our own idea of our dream home but the reality is many of us have to put up with houses that just don't work the kids are living on top of each other there isn't enough space to do all the things I'd like to do but it's only open this covering this snore you can't move and nobody can comment but it is possible to get more house for less money transforming a house into something spectacular might seem unaffordable but I really believe it is possible to create your dream home for a fraction of the price of going and buying one if you get it right oh wow that looks really smart last year saw a whopping 164,000 home extension successfully granted planning permission but get it wrong and a badly designed extension can knock thousands off the value of a house it's slightly nerve-racking because this is our house it could crumble any moment we might create a monster in this series I'll be following the fortunes of those attempting to radically overhaul smaller homes for a fraction of the cost of buying a bigger one the headboard of the bed is going to be this far away from someone else only too close to comfort it's never a simple undertaking that's a mission you've set yourselves to the mission yeah to me with my body ceci masters for meters this is gonna be a bumpy ride isn't it I have to brush my teeth in a little small bucket it's been hell but the rewards can be immense goodness me how utterly fabulous don't really need the rest of the house it's got everything we need just in this one's full Lisa was actually sharing that home is in Britain are among the smallest in Western Europe with new houses sometimes being as small as 76 square meters but if you need somewhere to live and just can't afford to get somewhere that's big enough don't despair because you may find you can get somewhere that's really quite tiny and turn it into something fabulous this weekend with families who are hoping to save cash by doubling their space for a fraction of what it would cost to buy their unaffordable dream home in Maidstone how you doing Ben and Eloise want to extend the living space in their cramped 1960s detached home I'll probably I'm taking on too much but we need as much space as we can get it's going to be pretty painful but first I'm off to a skit in Berkshire where Helena and Andi are planning to totally transform their house I just take pictures of the room so I can show Dad Helena and Andi have just got engaged four months ago they invested in this two hundred and seventy eight thousand pound 1950s semi as their first home buying it Greek style my dad has definitely kept a traditional and has helped us buy a house in Greek culture when people are getting married the dad will present the daughter with a house or with a large contribution of money to buy a house thank you but they're taking Greek tradition a big step further Helen as mum and dad are moving in with them Paris has dub likes to have his great TV so I'm making a separate room especially for his great TV it's a bit like My Big Fat Greek Wedding like he misses home so he watches his TV just hoping that my parents and I can come to a compromise on design and layout and and the look of the house because our tastes are quite different what'd you think of that one you like gloves I love that people I hate it some people might think that it's a bit strange poor Andy having to live with in-laws but I mean we would have never been able to get out about my family living with seven generations under one roof doesn't have to be seen as a bad thing there are major advantages both financially and socially but if you don't plan it right and you don't get the space to work in the right way it can be living in Hell building extension is the only way this family can get the space they need Thanks that ass gets crazy property prices hi I'm Sarah nice to meet you Helena and Andy have brought me to their ideal ask at home if they had the cash so this is the sort of house in terms of scale and size that you'd really like to be able to afford it's a very big house and there's a lot of space you know would be able to fit four people in lots of different like reception rooms so if one person wants to watch TV quietly another people to have a chat on and the table or watch a different program and there's all that space there which is kind of what we need this has to be worth about eight hundred thousand and your house is worth about three hundred thousand yeah no you're the body yeah but you have got some money haven't you yeah we've got about 120 from Bank of mom and dad so that's four hundred and twenty thousand which is a long way short of being able to buy an eight hundred thousand pound town tree yes yes but despite the gap in their finances Helena and Andi still aspire to all this house has to offer to buy their dream house would cost 800,000 pounds their house is worth three hundred thousand pounds so they'd need to find an extra five hundred thousand pounds but they only have 120 thousand Helen as parents are paying for this ambitious bills so I'd like to really check out the potential of their 1950s semi what's really exciting about this house is it's one of the only houses left that hasn't been extended and it's on say the worst house on the street it's a really good way of adding value to your home because get rid of the worst house in the street and whole street goes up in value the outdated layer makes it tough to squeeze in two generations downstairs there's a large reception room with a kitchen loo and garage upstairs three bedrooms but only one bathroom hello hi nice to meet you nice to meet you hello and so how did you decide to all live together yeah I think it's really important to look after your family and I think it's a genius plan everyone can be a winner but some people would think gosh that sir that's a very brave thing and maybe you're mad maybe you too mad it's actually a lovely big sitting a minute stuff in light so why does this space not work for you at the moment do you think what could you imagine living here with all four of us we'd have to eat in here watch TV in here and we've all got different tastes of TV shades I could see that causing friction definitely few arguments next door they're planning to replace the poky kitchen with one big enough for their Greek family get-togethers but it's upstairs that I fear might cause family clashes do you think having a bedroom slapped by next to your parents is going to be tricky or not there'll be two bathrooms and will space between us begin when you come out of your bedrooms in the morning he'll be bumping into each other that can be fine it's nothing major that's gonna cause someone's to be honest over the next 6 months the family want to completely transform their house with a two-story wraparound extension downstairs their idea is to extend into the back garden to create a huge open plan kitchen diner family space beside a separate reception room upstairs they're adding two new master bedrooms with on Suites Helena and Andy are paying the mortgage but it's Paris's Annette who are funding the 120,000 hand-build from savings and a 25,000 hand loan but I'm a little bit worried their plan layout could easily spark some family fireworks I think the most important thing for generations all living in one space is that you have as many reception spaces as possible so that you can be on your own and here you've got this big reception and actually I think it would be better at this point here and at this point here Susur does have two sets of doors so you can have it all open or you can shut it off and you can see in individual silent mums but I wonder if putting master bedrooms right next to each other is that wise they are very much next door to each other you're going to be facing each other straight on first thing in the morning do you feel your class issues about the bathrooms being summer but I can understand your concern about it because you're gonna hear every single flush at the lavatory and everything else a solution could be to move one of the master bedrooms plus ensuite to the other side of the house to maximize privacy so whose project managing is I am hey you're in town get it finished yes make sure that's everything correct for the house I can have an engagement party in by the time that it needs to be finished that years it seems Paris needs to step up to the mark I'm not too fussed about being next door to them I mean otherwise why are we having it as one house we might as well they'll have split it off had two separate entrance doors and name it what it is two major Nets or whatever but no we want to live as a family I think there may be some caches along the way although is a strong family unit this is going to be a rock and roll ride while the Iowa need us is mull over their plans I'm up to Mason to meet another growing family Ben and Eloise need more living space and fast I've only got a few days left until my due date so I could go any day now oh it was really scary salesman Ben works full-time in London and runs his own part-time web business from home as well as a new baby on the way he's piling on the pressure by project managing the build himself so that goes by that I'll probably am taking on too much but the kind of need the extra space for the baby I've got a daughter from a previous relationship who comes to stage every other weekend so we need as much space as we can get really because the baby is going to be along literally as we start the build I just think trying to look after my first newborn baby with all of that going on be a bit stressful it's going to be worth it but it's going to be pretty painful two of the most stressful things that people do in their lives they have children and do building works so it's madness that they end up doing them at the same time Ben and Eloise live in a standard boxy 1960s attached home that's seen better days downstairs there's a living room/dining room/kitchen loom and garage upstairs three bedrooms and a bathroom this sort of 1960s architecture just isn't very fashionable yet and I'm not sure it ever really will be so it will always tend to hold the value of the property down as you can see in other houses in the street they have done the facade which can take them into a different league of home that seems a bit of a waste to do those are stuff to the inside of this house and not transform the outside - to buy a house in this area with the space they'd like would cost a hefty half a million pounds Ben and Eloise's house is worth about two hundred eighty thousand so they'd need to find an extra two hundred and twenty thousand pounds trouble is they only have thirty thousand hi hello so you're hanging in there yeah a little more oh gosh we'll have to talk quickly quick quick yeah what was the dining room is now an office for Ben's part-time cartoon business so you work full time and you have a caricature website which is pretty busy as well I'm pretty much a workaholic I drop them off at the train station at 7 a.m. he'll get back at 7 p.m. and come home and he'll be doing stuff on his laptop all night I can't get away from it's just here I see the computers are catching me so you really need a separate office as well you go to the office now you shut the door and you leave the office and that's that done yeah their plan is to demolish the garage and build a two-story side extension downstairs they're adding a playroom with a new shower room and making their kitchen twice the size but I fear there may be an issue with their layout they haven't noticed yet downstairs there's a kind of hole in your plans and that's there's nowhere to put your buggies and coats and wellies and all of that you will end up with a hallway that you can't get through and then a shower that's never used the flip side of losing your garage is losing storage space one solution here is to replace the shower room with utility room with storage you want to downstairs looky that's really useful but you better off with a big utility space and yeah upstairs they're creating a new master bedroom bathroom and back bedroom then has never project managed a bill before along with overseeing the schedule and contractors he'll have to watch every penny of their tiny budget and you have got quite a limited budget yeah for me thirty thousand that is quite tight isn't it yes very time it's gonna be tricky I know that but I'm gonna sort of use my negotiation skills so you're gonna be king of the bloggers yeah pretty much yeah the best advice that we got to say I think is the shower rooms and the downstairs we don't really need a shower that badly it'll be good storage space which I was worrying about too the projects on so I've got I just crack on with it I guess there's no sort of nothing else I can do really this is already a really manic household there's a baby on the way Ben as a self-confessed workaholic he works full-time and he has his own business as well but on top of all of that they're about to start a really big building project with a really small budget of only 30 thousand pounds it's going to be a very stressful time I'm with two families who are aiming to radically transform their living space without breaking the bank in a skirt Helena and Andi may be paying the mortgage but it's Paris and sunette who are spending 120,000 on this build so they can all live together just go at it Greek dad Paris is in charge of the budget as project manager he's overseen a build before in Greece but daughter Helena looks like she might be as particular as any client that's actually a lot smaller than we thought it would be a lot smaller no it is although there's probably a big space to most people and it is a big space but just to look at the thing I'll hold and this is my kitchen my dining area and my lounge area it doesn't feel that big over in Maidstone Ben's also project managing his extension bill for his growing family but unlike Paris he's never done anything like this before I probably am taking on too much yes he's fairly scary oh this is a big project for a first-timer downstairs they're adding a playroom plus a new shower room and making their kitchen twice the size upstairs they're creating a new master bedroom bathroom and back bedroom but before the foundations are even dug a different sort of labor is underway 6:00 in the morning and oh he's gone into labor okay a few hours later there's a brand new Barrett's maybe use a Bella barrel boom today at 2:00 p.m. welcome to all is about Benin Eloise now have a new baby and an extension to worry about there's no paternity leave from this build I'm excited and a la sleep obviously with a baby and everything but there's no turning back really so it's gonna be young free four months of chaos with a tiny budget of just 30,000 pounds Ben is relying on his gift of the gab to cut costs on any build everything is negotiable and there are always deals to be done Ben's doing well barring a deal with his builders been to the dosa website it cuts the cost down on his labor charge first I thought the budget was unrealistic and I was really concerned the amount of work the Scot go into this build he wouldn't be doing this book today without the deals exactly struck so um yeah well done Ben back in a skirt project manager Paris and daughter Helena still don't see eye-to-eye over their layout if I don't like the size is there room for changing at all why because the console here oh no no wait what the length so if I want the rim if I decide I want a smaller bathroom I go wrong this is your up to up to me and all the builders and your mom and under the family are spending 120 thousand pounds to supersize their 1950s semi downstairs the rear extension will create a huge open-plan kitchen diner family space upstairs they're adding two new master bedrooms with arm Suites it's like because things are really starting to take shape I'm back hoping to help this feisty family visualize their finished build with an augmented reality app that will bring their plans to life and highlight any possible problems this is what your room is going to look like with your current plans the bit that worries me is the wall between the old sitting room and the new family kitchen area I look at this and think it's going to be pretty girl yeah as you see it on the screen like that it's so clear it's just going to be a very dark little box but there is a potential easy fix to bring in lots of light and give privacy what I'm suggesting is that you don't block up the double doors down there in fact you put more in here so there's two pairs of doors I do you can shut these doors but if you want to you can open it up and you can bring the light of the garden all the way through the house our problem is if we are watching TV next door to each other how would we block the sound out if they're glass doors you can have Sam proof doors great it seems they all agree about installing glass doors for the living room but within hours family harmony vanishes that's four metres yes for me she means four liters Helena and dad Paras disagree about the size of the doors for the kitchen oh my god it's a metre door you're crazy me to the door I never seen in my life door oh my god so I don't I'm gonna lose my temper it's not right dad I do it's not big you know it's not big enough that plans have bi-fold doors that are 4 meters wide but project manager dad has only built a 2 meter gap there might be trouble ahead on this drawing yeah a centimeter represent a meter so if it's 4 centimeters in length to me but my body to see mass yeah 4 meters you've just told me this is 2 meters so I was right good night noise mom he doesn't like bi-fold doors so it's well I'm not hearing I'm at work there's nothing I can do can i it's done now one one woman because of when I was not there but now you're not listening to me I don't believe it should be about three I'll take a breath take a breath ooh it seems tempers are running high in this family and they haven't even moved in together yet wasn't by four-door dad yeah but this is the I don't want a French door like your bear Paris Annette are paying for this 120 thousand pound build but daughter Hellena who will be paying the mortgage is set on getting the house she wants helena is very inflexible she is either black or white there's no shades of gray if you still meters you can make fifty centimetres absorb again before God listen to me can I say something to you if you don't get this right with Helena everything is going to be very sour if you can adjust this and make a happy with it should be more tolerant for some of the other things you want to think I'm on my way back to Maidstone a month into bartering Ben's four month bills fen and Eloise have a tiny baby but an even tinier 30,000 pound budget and first-time project manager Ben is finding it tough going well I look around the site I can see that there is an element of chaos everywhere yeah no just three or four hours tidying up the site would make a big difference at the moment you've got half the building sites inside half your home stuff's outside we'll just muddle up in one great big heat you're striving as crazy at the moment it makes it feel worse than it is there are ways of keeping things tidy and dust free without shelling out the storage fees packaged up all your belongings and put them into one space upstairs tape up the door so that the dog doesn't get in as easily almost like a storage unit in the garden it's good to see Ben is putting some distance between his office and his house with two jobs and project managing this build he really needs a separate space to work so this is the garden office yeah yeah yeah somebody's iam when extending your home isn't an option but you're desperate for extra space a garden room could be a perfect solution off the peg modular designs cost anything from between 3040 thousand pounds for bespoke models the sky's the limit aside from offices uses include play rooms yoga studios home cinemas and gyms and you don't usually need planning permission as long as it isn't used as a bedroom and the space is less than 15 square meters and 2.5 meters high for more information about extending your house or increasing your floor space check out my scrapbooker channel for calm /ve in a skirt the Iowa neeta's family are two months into their six-month build and so time to check on progress dosis is getting on brilliantly there open-plan kitchen diner family space is really taking shape despite their little fallouts now I know there's been a little bit of disagreement hasn't there about the doors here what exactly has gone on when I last came here to have a look there are too small they're almost like party like French doors so I lost my temper in the end we've actually made them bigger so we all learn to compromise yes yes yes there might be another place their design could be improved you haven't got any roof light that's a flat roof and there's no roof lights yeah I think you'll find in other news that make this area dull but it makes the original house they're sitting them in they're quite dark as well so if you look at how it is now and then hang on and wait for me to do this and here's what a difference every flight could make do you see how much difference that makes yeah yeah it would be much lighter than it I'd make it good and big keep it that end Wow good to think about doing that as well right I think so yeah in the old kitchen they've hit another problem now this area here you've dug all the floor add so what happened our builder found that the house had been built on a cement there's nothing to stop damp coming up okay so he said it had to all be dug out to be honest having a solid floor that has no damp proof memory which is a disaster so he's absolutely right and you were right to allow him to go ahead with that but it obviously has come at a cost and it's a big cost of seven thousand pounds Harrison's a net have no contingency fund but 15,000 pounds of there 120,000 han budget is earmarked for fixtures and fittings and this is where they'll need to clawback cash if you can look at the budget and try and find a way of cutting cost this is the time to do it isn't it yeah it's you that's gonna have to compromise what anyone else isn't it there's a lot of extra costs that are coming up and the problem with that is that the only solution is to rein back some of the spending from elsewhere I'm not sure that compromise on finish is something that Helen is really going to be prepared to do I was two families who are aiming to create the perfect multi-generational homes without breaking the bank inmate stone new dad Ben is doing a great job making deals to keep his 30 grand bills on budget would you be open to the idea of doing it a good deal the answer would be yes he's talked his way into a cut-price kitchen by offering to print the show rooms brochures at discount full master Ben but whilst busy inside they mustn't forget the outside of their house when you look down the street it's very clear which of the smarter houses and which the less Mon houses and you want to make sure that your has enters the master house the section of the street cladding is a great way to smarten up your home Timber costs around 25 pounds per square meter with uPVC is a budget option at around 15 pounds as well as cladding they'll ideally need to make the bricks of the extension the same color as the original house or there's a danger it will look tacked on it would cost you about a hundred pounds to buy enough dye to do all of the new Wow it takes about half an hour to dry and in that half hour process it lightens so as you can see the original brick is this bleached color these are your new bricks and this is the color you can end up with on so maizena so we won't have any of those sort of obvious lines it will cover it up and yeah blend the old the new together perfectly for more information about extending your house or increasing your floor space check out my scrapbook at channel 4 comm /v me then is on a massively steep learning curve as a first-time project manager and is now making some debatable decisions we'll have ripped out the kitchen I went a bit gung-ho and just done it in a day just thought it'd be a good idea but realized after dessert I've got no water I've had water leaks it's been hell brushing my teeth if I have to brush my teeth in a little small bucket or I'll go to work I'm up at sort of 5:30 in the morning washing in a bucket which is pretty grim and it seems the keeping the site organised bit didn't go down so well there is mess everywhere it's just chaos the builds in the trailer in at the moment they're not happy to mess it some instances a nightmare even our sites come to the end of each other now I must admit is what it is I guess I've just gotta put my head down and crack on with it in a skirt the bank of mum and dad is in crisis to build costs arising but Paris and the net don't have a penny more than their hundred and twenty thousand pound budget the money is going out regularly from the banks just hope that the muddy lasts Luka : pain when a budget spirals out of control one surefire way to rein in your spending is on fixtures and fittings when the key issues now is saving money because you've had extra expenses you weren't expecting and if you can compromise on price on the kitchen that is a key area you could claw back a lot of the overspend that you've already had this kitchen here would be about ten thousand pounds so that's a bit more on the budget range and look at look at your father's smile it's like oh that's perfect I really don't like it Harrison's a net maybe funding this build but daughter Hellena doesn't seem a fan of compromise even if it helps save her parents cash what do you think Paris Price is Right is right form is brave in puttin there's a temptation to spend an awful lot of money on our kitchens but you can bag a real bargain if you shop around for ex showroom or end-of-line and check out suppliers of second-hand bespoke kitchens to make a cheap kitchen look expensive the key is to mix and match full count on quality work tops designer lighting in stylish taps but you could save cash on carcasses and doors for this family I think it's time to sit down stay calm and talk money with project manager Paris do you have an idea as to how much you would like to spend on your kitchen well my budget is eight thousand bars and the rest will be down to helm if she wants to make up the difference and take on an extra debt if it hasn't only glass the kitchen that can be what I really wanted I'd rather buy a more expensive kitchen that I would then pay off and I see the attitude should be I find a kitchen that I really like to the budget oh dear we seem to have hit another family face-off seems to me there is a fundamental difference between each side of the table here and that's you're thinking that you'd like to have it anyway and you'll get it out with debt and pay it off in the long term and you're thinking if you can't afford it don't buy it that's the mentality my parents have always had unfortunately I wish I did share it I just I'm quite an impatient person there's a little bit of many things you spent a whole lifetime saving to make sure that you guys aren't in debt so I think it's a little bit naughty for you to go into debt I totally see where you're coming from and I totally understand getting into debt isn't the best way to deal with a budget overspend of course I'd love to spend only eight guys I won't have to take any debt but we would like to have what we want now it's got to be a compromise was there any good finite amount of money and that's always been a 'thus we don't we don't spend on things we've kind of formed I don't really care what anyone else thinks it's about making us happy if it might moment I think it's about showing off that I want a big flashy kitchen so we can show off to my mates I don't want a big flash kitchen because I grew up with a really crap one and so did he whether the family can compromise a meet in the middle is anyone's guess inmates tone it's taken four months for new parents Ben and Eloise to transform their home with a massive two-story extension but now all their hard work is almost finished Ben and Eloise took an awful loss on had a new baby a major build and all for a budget of just 30,000 pounds but I've got a feeling that Ben's gritty determination might have just pulled it off back then the outside of the 1960s attached house was tired and dated but certainly now whitfill is one of the smartest houses on the street cladding works the bricks or matching I think it's been there for years now Benin eloise have super-sized their cramped house into a smart spacious family home hi how are you good how are you very well thank you this looks absolutely fantastic let me have a look inside before their kitchen was so tiny they struggle to both use it at the same time but now they've massively increased its size by knocking through to the new side extension so this looks absolutely amazing and this is the kitchen that you were hoping for during kitchen the kitchen before was so tiny we have no problems that bumping into each other I can empty the dishwasher fine yeah space is huge now and it looks fantastic this is under him as well this used to be your office here didn't say that's wrong yeah the other end of the open plan was once there old dining room and makeshift office for Ben but it's been transformed into a sleek new dining and sitting area everything was in here you're all working in here all the time now it certainly has enough setting or is it must make such a difference a massive difference yeah it was horrendous Ben and his piles of paperwork have now moved to slick new premises in the garden office you can just leave the house to go to the office it makes all the difference in the world differently and then doesn't work as much oh really yeah brilliant so when he comes into the house is he off duty as much as he can babe I mean tae-suhk toasty locked me out downstairs in the new extension there's a brand new playroom next to a shower room where they decided against having a practical utility room having lost the garage space you weren't tempted to have utility when we thought a shower would be better I think he was down to cost and everything so we thought you know we'd just have it built in with the kitchen built in with the kitchen yeah upstairs the side extension has given them two new bedrooms and a bathroom our lovely bedroom and love these shower room as well it certainly beats washing in a bucket so this must be fantastic to have because over the last few months LME's you've been at your mum's quite a lot so then you've been up here it must feel lovely to be back together again yeah has it been quite a bumpy ride you think along the way definitely definitely it feels like a massive weight of fashion wonderful yeah it's just nice to be able to relax and not have sort of fielder's and chaos and I've been your eyes as he certainly looks finished yes is amazing despite the challenges Ben and Eloise have done an incredible job the house looks fantastic but did bartering been managed to stick to their budget you set yourself as incredibly big challenge of trying to do all this with those thousand pounds yeah how much did you end up spending around forty thousand so you did go over but that is still incredible do all of this for forty thousand yeah if pan and Eloise had tried to buy their dream home in this area it would have been a whopping five hundred thousand pounds one hundred and ninety thousand pounds more than their budget instead they managed to create their own dream house for forty thousand pounds even though they've overspent by ten thousand pounds they've achieved an awful lot are not very much money and there's more comforting news the house was worth two hundred eighty thousand pounds when you bought it and you end up spending forty thousand pounds on it yes three hundred and twenty thousand I think it would be quite realistic for you to get 425 thousand for it fantastic which would mean that you've created one hundred and five thousand pounds of equity Tomatoes a lot money we have our dream house now and and 100k [ __ ] fantastic fantastic I have an awful lot of admiration for Ben and Eloise they've worked really hard to try and achieve something and they have achieved it and they deserve it just goes to show that with enough hard work anything is possible six months ago Paris in the net daughter Hellena and fiance Andy took on what might be considered a project of utter madness some people might think poor Andy having to live with in-laws but I mean we would have never been able to her that a lot of my family with Elena and Andy paying the mortgage and her parents funding 120,000 hand-build the family wanted to more than double the size of this house so they could all live together but back back to you lots more than reported he knows much smaller but sparks flew from the start between Hellena and project manager dad Paris that's four meters yes for me she misses more meters now this huge build is almost finished and there should be enough space for two generations Helen and her family had a massive task they took quite a small home and completely transformed it so that it would easily and comfortably fit new families living in it but from day one there has been a lot of arguing and I'm just hoping that they'd all learn to compromise at the start of this bill their rundown 1950 semi looked very different now that certainly isn't the worst task the streets anymore amazing now they've created a spacious 21st century family home I know you think what an amazing unrecognisable say she must be surrounds before the main living space was an unloved shell totally unsuited to multi-generational living but they've transformed the ground floor with a rear extension and three reception rooms are you pleased with the device we're glad that we've done it yeah and the glass doors are a great success now each space can easily be closed off into a separate living area I think these different spaces will mean that you can all hopefully cohabit without any arguments how do you imagine you're going to use these rooms I thought the farm would be sub like a more formal lounge and mum might have that as somewhere she'd like to just sort of relax quite tranquil elegant and the middle room was going to be for for dad so you could have like Greek TV leather chairs and they so relaxed a new boy's room I can see the football game on the sticker say no girls allowed a huge kitchen diner reception is in the rear extension and the roof light brings the sitting area alive makes such a difference it's really right light in here I'm so glad we got it all the best things we did and this is a space that you two are thinking that you're gonna use a lot is it when we are area so the bi-fold doors look amazing but who can forget the family's little misunderstanding over the infamous four meters it was a discussion about they should be bigger wife on door gate yeah yeah opens up there and I just I just love the fact that I can look at into that garden so you'll have all right so you're happy that Helen is happy and I'm happy that they're both having the rest of the open-plan in the rear extension is the family's sleek new kitchen diner is this what you were dreaming up I love it absolutely love it yeah it's amazing it's clean it's minimalist it's got Sparkle it's white it's bright it was absent you can't get in the right kitchen it wasn't it yeah yeah yeah and it was another kind of slightly bumpy ride back yeah and when I think Venezia Moscow the kitchen caused more family fireworks so have they found a budget-friendly kitchen that Hellena likes and how much was the kitchen it was originally nine thousand nine hundred and we got it down to five thousand five hundred by crying out lots of sort of extras and not taking our appliances we basically paired it right the way down we've sourced all the electrical equipment separately our gorgeous kitchen for under ten grand upstairs extending has given them two master bedrooms with our Suites but they're sticking to the plan of keeping them side-by-side even after all their heated discussions an amazing roller coaster ice you guys beat up a lot of it revolved around you is you're a very hard lady to please when you set out on this in the first place the house was worth about three hundred thousand pounds and you had 120,000 pounds you're going to spend on it did you spend that amount of did you spend it was been 14 and a half thousand pounds extra parents Paris ins Annette has spent all their savings and more you had a twenty five thousand hand loan which was passed 120 thousand and it's gone another nearly fifteen thousand hands over so now it's a forty thousand pound debt really it's forty thousand okay their dream house was worth eight hundred thousand pounds so they would have needed another three hundred and eighty thousand pounds to buy it but they've managed to create their own dream house for a hundred and thirty five thousand even though they've overspent by fifteen thousand that's less than half the money and there's more reassuring news I think now what you've created would be worth somewhere up to about five hundred fifty thousand so actually you've created a really big lump of equity over a hundred and fifteen thousand pounds from Safian a food was laid at the age of twenty seven I think thanks to my parents either achieve something that a lot of people will never achieve so we're really really
