Party-loving homeowners, Linda and Lee dream of traveling the world…But after two years on the market, and over 80 viewings, they’re still stuck in their three-bedroom, 1950s terrace home in Swindon, Wiltshire. The unsellable property features institutional flooring, loads of unfinished DIY jobs, and a shattered front window. And beyond the trash-filled backyard, also contains ratty furniture, a broken bed, huge hairballs, random cigarette butts, and piles and piles of dirty laundry.
Enter property experts John Rennie and Sofie Allsopp. They vow to get the home under control. And while John has a serious chat with the agent about commissions, and then encourages the couple to replace him, Sofie undertakes the radical cleanup, and performs a spectacular makeover. Will their plan revive the property’s prospects and the couple’s wanderlust?

A real estate agent can have all the enthusiasm in the world, but if the sellers are lazy, dirty slobs who don't care about their property, it won't make any difference at all. This isn't on the agent, it's on those two who would rather play video games and have parties which allow their friends to treat their property like a slum fleabag hotel. Disgusting.

The lesson here is that if you don't motivate your agent, they won't put much effort into selling it; there's no reason for them to do so. You have a responsibility to engage with the effort. Still, their commissions are way too high which creates resentment in the public so that many people feel the whole thing should be dumped on the agent for that amount of money.

I guess that the home owners could not afford sprucing up the kitchen and the bathroom, They set the budget they give to the show. They did the maximum with the budget., they did a good job with the big bedroom but they could not put new flooring, so they painted it , it would have been better with a new flooring. I agree with you, what about the kitchen and bathroom? It seems like the owners bought the home thinking they would rip the old carpets and paint and that would be it. On top of that they were slobs, they are young and not bothered to vacuum and dust and pick up the garbage ?!! Money is not an excuse in their case. These two will grow old will not get better at hygiene and cleanliness, their living space will be health hazard.

That he says they'd only just got out of bed before visits, still doing the washing up, and also supposedly didn't tell them on occasions that they were about to have viewings? That's not a good agent. He needed to tell them how it is - smelly sheets left on an old bed for 6 months? Shot out window or perhaps hit with a screw driver but NEVER his hand as claimed, huge balls of dust and also hair, and broken glass on the floor. He needed to tell them to grow up or disassociate his company from them.

That's the saddest part of this. It's been over 10 years since this first aired - but I wondered how he was able to keep a job in his trade. If he is too overwhelmed to work on his own house how will he feel when his employer asked him to do repairs on his client's homes. This is sad; they just had more dreams than talent - been there, done that at their age so I do understand. I hope all went well for them!

Yes, most people have more home pride than this. I'd be mortified to have anyone see my house if it were anywhere near the state this one is in. I imagine it didn't smell very good inside, either. Who knows, maybe they did "clean" it beforehand and thought the state it was in was acceptable. (I've known people like that.) I kept our house spotless and clutter-free while it was on the market. It was ready in 30 minutes to show after the Realtor called for an appointment. It's a 3,000 sq. ft. home. (I had to have time to pull up the blinds all of the way to let the sun in, turn on lights, move the dog bowl to the garage, etc.)
@Lisa-hc3uq
@Lisa-hc3uq 3 года назад
You don't know what goes on behind the scenes Maybe it was suggested that the house look bad ( for ratings) to make the before and after look better. It's been 2 years? The owners aren't motivated to sell. Who knows if the house showed like that when it first went on the market..probably much nicer. A house doesn't become gross and dirty like that over night.. The couoke probably gave up caring after the first few months with no sale. What we do in our area is that if property doesnt sell in a couple months, its taken off the market. Buyers do not like homes that sit on the market for long periods of time..either asking price is too high / sellers won't negotiate or something is wrong with the home itself. Area could be the next problem. The way people take care of a home or lack there of is a turn off, but it shouldn't be the reason why its been sitting on the market for so long. Could be a combination of things, repairs, price, and the area..maybe places aren't selling that fast in that specific area..

Scolding the realtor for not selling that filthy, broken house is ridiculous, especially with his lowering his commission rate.

It's ridiculous to change agents. It's obvious that the property wasn't selling because the homeowners are slobs who couldn't be bothered to really do anything to make their home look decent. It really makes no sense to blame the agent when he has to try to sell a dirty nasty mess of a house. Also, painting a crappy wood floor leaves you with a painted crappy wood floor.
