Here is another refurbishment project, but this is one of the worst-condition flats I have seen in a long time.
Apparently there was a water leak from upstairs, but the owner downstairs didn't mention it for SEVEN YEARS!
All the woodwork around the base of the walls, including skirtings, door frames, plasterboard and partition walls is rotten, tiles are falling off the walls, and there doesn't seem to be any kind of heating system installed in the flat.
The first thing to do is just strip everything out because there really isn't anything worth salvaging.
At the moment, it is arranged as a studio flat, but with a little re-arranging of the partition walls it can be re-designed as a cosy one-bedder.
Come and join me on this journey, it's going to be an interesting one.

Glad you liked it!

I'm pleased that you find some hope in restoring the flat. I initially thought it would be a tear down to the studs.

@MyPropertyChannel 2 месяца назад

Well, that's what we did! We just stripped everything out and started again. You can see the destruction process in the other videos.

That is a fairly grim flat! Just watching this makes me feel itchy! I never understood how people can let themselves live like that. Yes, you might be hard-up, but there's no reason not to clean your home. I wish you all the luck in the world with this one, and I'm sure you will turn it into a lovely home for someone.

We really don't know the circumstances the owner found themselves in.

Thanks for the interesting video and your compassion about the former owner.

It's sad to see how people lived, sometimes. I come across this from time to time when visiting properties in the line of work.

Some of the things left there certainly point to a lonely life with much poverty. Please look out for your neighbours.

That place needs a lot of work. First that leak needs to be fixed.

@MyPropertyChannel 6 месяцев назад

No leaks now, because all the plumbing was removed. Nothing was worth saving.

Where do you start 🫣

@MyPropertyChannel 2 месяца назад

The only way is to strip everything out and start again. You can follow our progress in other videos

Basically a filthy dirty slum of a property, let’s be honest. Bacteria heaven, some of them dangerous to health. But , from previous videos you uploaded, you will make it clean & wholesome and decorated to a very reasonable standard ( if you are involved ). I didn’t quite catch the intro, it could belong to a friend. Best of luck.

@MyPropertyChannel 10 месяцев назад

That's how some people choose to live. We can't criticise because we don't know their circumstances.

@@MyPropertyChannel Not sure that I agree with the word ‘chose’. In my 26 years as a S/Worker I have seen some gruesome homes - people descend into living in these conditions, usually from MH or Physical incapabilities. Often they were ashamed. Maybe you know more than was said on your YT video, but what was shown was grotty, nothing said about any smells e.g.

@MyPropertyChannel 10 месяцев назад

I do know ,but this isn't the place to share such information. As I mentioned in another comment, we should all just look out for our neighbours, especially if they might seem vulnerable.

@justinbuckley 11 месяцев назад

Wow this flat is rather grim. It's a shame that people let their homes get in this condition.

@MyPropertyChannel 11 месяцев назад

I think people let things slide without realising, and gradually decline into this state. I know something of the owner, sad story, didn't seem to have much support in his life. We're not all the same, sometimes we all need a little help😢

Most of probably way too late now and you know much more than I do could you have done it so you go bedroom to the bathroom and then in that bit before the bathroom make that the kitchen
