Just watched the first half of Property Ladder.

One of the wouldbe developers this week, a couple doing up a cottage in bedfordshire are making comedy weatching.
So far they have half demolished a period property. And are now trying to put it back together again. All whilst dreaming of fast cars and a millionare lifestyle. Quality entertainment.

Well even ms Beeney herself eluded to "a rapidly changing market" in this episode.... I also love the way these wannabe property millionaires always say "it is something i've always wanted to do" blah blah blah

Can't wait for the next series of Property ladder - hopefully we may start seeing some of these amatures loose money... reality TV - love it!

Not on rightmove, but the house Sarah B took them to view is still on as stc. maybe they have been luck or they are selling with agents who dont use r-move. If you can be asked have a look at agents in that area it will probably be out there somewhere.

Never understood the attraction of property development myself - though several of my clients have been quite successful at in it in the past.

Seems like of a lot of hassle for not much reward - a lot of the "wannabees" would have earned more stacking shelves in a supermarket by the time you have converted the time spent into an hourly wage.

Why would that be?

"The supply of land for housing has been restricted by planning controls. The prices of land and of houses have risen in consequence. As a result land has been used with increasing intensity with infill, 'town cramming' and smaller houses on less land-'rabbit hutches on postage stamps'; a destruction of the urban environment of the many to preserve a rural environment for a few" - Alan W. Evans, 1991

"In Britain, 90% of the population live in urban areas amounting to no more than 8% of total land space. At the same time, ecologists and planners tell us that there is simply no room to expand our bursting cities. - Land Economy, 2006.

Over 90% of the population lives on 8% of the land, just 6% of the UK is classed as 'urban'. Trunk roads including the motorway network accounts for less than 1% of the landmass. A record 13% of the UK is greenbelt, and rising, the rest is even emptier, 90% of the country is green.

The series is "revisited" and most of the stuff goes back to 2002/03/04. There is (no surprise) nothing recent. Hasn't Beeny been quoted as saying there's notr money left to be made in property??
We are becoming a nation of debt slaves, our short lives are bubbles in the champagne of the banking corporations. Don't blame the banks though, they just lend us what we want to borrow.
