Wonderful, I’ll try this next time!

Thank you Calvin! Yes I couldn’t agree more

Because the previous owners liked those colours? It was their home and decorated it to their tastes🤷‍♀️. As we all do.

@@kimbwf629 hard to paint over 🥵

I agree! The neutral colours look way better! I had a friend who liked purples, orange, red & green colours and always complimented my Sisters house when she would visit, (my sister's house done in light grey & white.... minimalist..very tidy)....and she wondered why her own house didn't look as nice (she was also a bit of a pack rat)! LOL 😂 Long story short we helped her paint and redecorate and she said she woud never paint her livingroom (any room) purple or orange again. Just because you love a colour doesn't mean it should go on your walls!

Detail on figures?

Cheers Jordan

Thanks Archie 🍻

Thank you!

Cheers George! I appreciate it 👊🍻

You're welcome!

Thank you mate! 👊

Thanks mate! I’ve been keeping a look out for some, not much luck at the moment 😬

Thank you

Hello, no these were not subsidence cracks as I had a structural survey on the house. Also there was no external cracking to the building…

Not at all, there were no cracks on the exterior which meant that it was just internal movement cracks. It’s natural to have a slight bit of movement

Ahh wonderful thank you!

That man is clearly a beginner haha

I completely agree, after completing it all those were the points which I wish I’d have done. Although I was on a very tight budget at the time I couldn’t justify anymore spending 😬

Yes, I would find that interesting?

Hi Ruhul, I spent £6,500 on construction costs. This includes £2,000 on labour. and £4,500 on materials and the kitchen. I then obviously had legal fees/stamp duty/bills which cost me £5,700.

@@jamesreeve well done!

@@jamesreeve where did you get the kitchen from ? thanks

@@garyoldroyd2349 Hi Gary, the kitchens from Benchmarx 👍🏻

Yes that would have looked much better. The cost of this wasn't necessary.

How is best to remove textured ceiling?

@@Jk-ki7tr probably just with a scraper in small sections? Never done It though.

I should have! Carpets in your blood!

Hi Chris, I didn’t do everything I got trades in for plumbing, electrics and the kitchen 👍🏻

This took 3 months to complete

Yes, yes it was.

I’ll do another video soon 👍🏻

@@jamesreeve it would be useful, to include a price if not doing it yourself. I need to refurb my place fast, but would be hiring,

@@soundfx68 Yes this is a good idea, I'm thinking of putting a video together to explain this

Yes, I think that’s a good idea to add value, you just need to make sure there’s enough room in the living room for an open plan kitchen/living

@@jamesreeve thank you wasn't sure if it would be harder to rent/sell with no hall separating a bedroom and the living room. Great channel btw 👍

@@propfunders I think the extra bedroom would add more value than the hallway. Thank you mate, much appreciated

Yeah not ideal are they! My budget was super tight on this one.

@@fl3693 yes they weren’t the best, it was just historic movement. The structural engineer told me just to repair rather than underpin 👍🏻

I’m a Quantity Surveyor so I know a few trades who can give me a hand 👍🏻 I’ve mainly learnt from shadowing/KZfaq

@@jamesreeve Hi! Can you suggest some trades in London? How can I find good plumbers, electrics, kitchen, etc?

@ThePowerfulDeeZ 90% of the time I go off recommendation. I will always ask the other trades if they know a “carpenter, electrician ect”. If you don’t know anyone to ask I would try sites such as “My Builder” and scroll through the highest reviewed trades.

£15,000

Hi Kemi, what are you after?

@@jamesreeveHi James, so sorry for the late reply. I have nothing at hand at the moment. Was just enquiring for future reference ☺️

I never know whether people like keeping a bath rather than a shower :o

@jamesreeve young couple shower, young family baths, as you get old baths, as you get older...shower ha ha 😂

@@jamesreevebath , or at least room to put one - it would put me off as a buyer otherwise but lovely makeover

This one was £15K

No underpinning for me 🙃

Yeah, not great to cover it up and pass on a nasty surprise to the next home owner

@@tigerpandarabbit I agree, as I don’t think they would be picked up on a survey if there was nothing visible inside or out. Buying property is a bloody nightmare.
