Si1 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 "Mean while, Paul believed the properties in Sophie's favoured area were overpriced and wanted to pay less for a house that they could do up." Mind you if they just change the way they fill in the mortgage application they probably could afford more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipllman Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I thought for one horrible minute this was the BBC giving away money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venger Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 His choice looks the better one to me, although maybe victim-hunter-hpcers can donate directly to them if the value falls or they need money for another holiday. Paul carries Sophie over the threshold of their new home - which she now loves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradbury Robinson Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Two offers down and he's already gone £15k and £18k under asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonguest Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) She's 25, and her first home must be 'detached'... Indeed. My first thought was that she must be a bl**dy good shag to make it worthwhile for him to put up with such a spoilt princess. When I think of the hardship that my grandparents generation went through, my grandad through D-Day etc, and I look at the indignant and unrealistic sense of 'entitlement' of so many of these 20 somethings I despair. It's obvious that IF, heavens forbid, any real national emergency ever befell this country again this bunch will be 'wiped out'.

porca misèria Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 OK, what colour does everyone think the bedcover is? Why are all the visible parts of the fitted wardrobe concave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snugglybear Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Why are all the visible parts of the fitted wardrobe concave? Won't that be the effect of the special estate agents' camera? I saw a photo yesterday in which the toilet looked well over a metre wide. The self-same model of camera, I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would YOU trust your partner to buy a new house? Couple given £15,000 towards a first home in new TV series - and the woman is left in tears over her partner's choice New TV show on Watch offers £15,000 to help couples buy a new house They must spend three weeks apart and only one can choose the property Sophie and Paul, from Preston, see their relationship rocked by experience Anyway, men with beards are their own man, right? You are the one with the balls. Car crash TV always gets the ratings, as well as cats riding on vacuum cleaners. Plus the producers make the actors to make the most of it - a bit like those storage hunter programmes. Please, more crying and and more arguing!! YAY!

goldbug9999 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 She's 25, and her first home must be 'detached'... Well generally speaking women only get one free "divorce" house so shes just making sure hers is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabby81 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 They didn't do much to dismiss the ipad buying want it all generation did they ... Also the program is completely flawed even if she hated the house is she going to actually turn down 15k to buy one , at the worst they buy that house and sell it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unconvinced of the build quality or attractiveness of new builds. Would rather buy an older semi and add value over the years to get a better house then something shiny that will only look tatty down the line.

Totally agree on the point re: build quality of modern mass produced new builds, but that is separate from the issue of one naturally preferring to have a detached over a semi.

Almost zero preference. I'd prefer a either with more land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's probably already planning the 'new house' photoshoot she wants to do for social media. Probably booked in for prior teeth whitening and eyebrow work as well. I'm not joking..
