PRESENTER: Welcome back. Before the break we saw Andrew and Julie, who bought this beautiful Victorian property, which sits just a stones throw away from the city centre. Its surrounded by beautiful open spaces and excellent commuter links into London. What more could you ask for? Lets go in and find out! [Music] Andrew, Julie, congratulations. Nice to meet you both. ANDREW: Thank you, thank you very much. PRESENTER: So, there is a huge amount of work that needs doing. It looks as if the place has been empty for many years. Most people would run a mile. What made you want to buy this property? JULIE: Well, primarily we were looking for a place for our son, who works in London, and we needed something that has good links into the City, is close to his friends and family, and we wanted a project. PRESENTER: Well, you certainly have one on your hands with this house (small laugh). So tell me, whats the plan? Are you keeping things the same, or are you planning on knocking walls down like this one to create a more ...open, modern living style? JULIE: Yes, its going to take some time. Erm Were thinking of completely stripping everything back to the bare walls. Well probably maybe keep the same configuration of the house, but we do want to convert the space upstairs so theres a spare room, and we just generally want modernise the house. PRESENTER: So, Andrew and Julie know exactly what they want to do with the place, had a survey carried out which details the current conditions of the property, but, whats the budget and whos doing the work? What about that crack in the bathroom ceiling? ANDREW: Yeah, we noticed there was a slight leak and dampness in the loft, so weve had a structural engineer come in to give us some advice, and it seems like it will be a fairly easy fix. PRESENTER: That sounds like a great plan, but whos doing the work? And whats the budget for this? ANDREW: Well, I work with some contractors, um, builders, on a day-to-day basis, and Ive got a few lads in mind who I think will be able to get the job done. So we are hoping to get it all completed for about £40,000, erm, with a bit of contingency for a little more if we need it. And yeah, we dont just want to use cheap materials, so I think to do it to the standards that I expect were probably going to have to spend a little bit extra to do it. PRESENTER: That is a healthy budget. And the time frame? ANDREW: Id say we ideally want to get this completed in about four to six months. PRESENTER: So, have you bought other properties before and renovated, or is this the first? JULIE: Yes, weve bought five or six properties over the past few years as investments for when were retired, and to hand over to our boys. PRESENTER: Well, good luck with the project, and we will be back to check out the transformation. [Outside] It seems as if Andrew and Julie have good knowledge of the property market and Im sure this property will look fantastic once theyve worked their magic. Find out how it went later in the show. [Background music] Still to come: we find out how Gary and Holly got on in Manchester with their wraparound extension. And, did mum Jackie and her daughter Gemma manage to gain permission from the planning regulators to change their grade two listed cottage in Lincolnshire? Well see you in a few! OUTRO
