Covering up the light over each door is why it’s so dark in the stairwell. That’s a mistake. In winter it’s so gloomy. My house had that done and I hate it. You have to leave doors open to get any light.

I’m hoping you won’t paint the fence but you’ll give it a stain with UV protection. It will look much more natural and fitting for a garden imo. The double glazing and central heating system will increase the value of the property. They are therefore investments as opposed to costs.

Looking much better already. Outside has really lifted the kerb appeal back and front. As someone else said I’d go for a natural finish on the fence with some uv protection. Keeps the wood looking good and shouldn’t look as shabby in a few years. I’m crossing my fingers that you don’t paint every room grey too! It is great to see a neglected house get renovated and given a new lease of life. Looking forward to seeing it when it’s completed. 👍🏻

Stairs, yes leave wood to the side -- nice feature to the staircase. Perfect use for the box cupboard in the smaller bedroom, personally I would box it in, couple of shelves on the right hand side, then a hanging pole one side to the other (never enough storage space in houses like these). Good to also see loads of electric sockets, again you can never have enough of these... really nicely coming together, 6 weeks it'll be finished - do a nice walk through when completed! well done Matt 👍

A cheap one. I've got 3 cheap renters in York (new build flats) & they earn me £1,500 per month for all 3 (after tax & agent fees). Not enough for a lay out of £510,000. The BIG money is in BIG property (unlike cars). Spend 4 £Million in the right area & you're looking at a post tax profit of £500,000 a year.
