Brand new TV series turns your house into dream home

Fed up with your house but can't afford to move? Frustrated with the layout but haven't got the confidence to change it?
Do you want to create a home you'll never want to leave?
One of Britains hottest architects wants to get his hands on your house. George Clarke and his design team can help you fall back in love with your property. He'll handle all aspects of the build, design and interiors, taking away all the hassle but in return you'll have to trust him. We are looking for houses with huge potential for change and home owners with reasonable budgets we will boost, to help them get the home of their dreams.
If you'd like to be inspired NOT to climb the property ladder but improve what you've already got this summer, email us at: dionnefarley@tigeraspect.co.uk or call 020 7529 9510

Can you get rid of my chavvy neighbours?

By WilfSell on Tue 29-Jul-08 23:05:10

God I'd love it if only I didn't have to be on telly with all my dirty laundry and unwashed kids on show. And producers trying to make out I'm an idiot instead of listening to the Expert. for where would they be if people DID actually listen to Kevin, Sarah, George, Mr & Mrs Tory of the Year etc?

Is George the one from that implausible show on channel 5?

I'd like a proper full eco-conversion and an en suite and a gym please. We have the space and the fab location; my budget is 2 grand (will that be ok? wink

)

anyway property is so last year: it will all be make do and mend and 'surviving the crisis' programmes next, you watch this space.

And Alvin Hall and Lofty SAS will make even more millions.

hmm I'd totally be up for it but....

"We are looking for houses with huge potential for change and home owners with reasonable budgets we will boost"

makes me think it's yet another show where they take people who already have big houses with lots of garden, and plenty of money to spend and then get it done for them.

I'm tired of watching people who could bloody pay for stuff themselves get it done for free.
why not do a programme where you help people who don't have much potential for change, and who don't have big budgets?
make it more realistic and show us what the majority of us could do with our houses instead of "oooh, here are some ideas you could nevber afford or do with your tiny house"

pah
bitter? me?

By ShallowWaterFish on Tue 29-Jul-08 23:11:48

ooh how thrilling
as long as no mention of contemrparary
clean lines
a roomis not called a space
and no freaky taps

By ShallowWaterFish on Tue 29-Jul-08 23:12:21

can you be a HOT architect?

is aware you are thus marketing him?!

By ShallowWaterFish on Tue 29-Jul-08 23:13:35

brooding george

By ShallowWaterFish on Tue 29-Jul-08 23:13:57

cheeky chappy george

By ShallowWaterFish on Tue 29-Jul-08 23:14:38

retro george
or maybe vintage

arf

By LynetteScavo on Tue 29-Jul-08 23:14:38

I emailed, but have had no reply.

I said I would trust George 100%, and we really do need an extra room adding on, which we will have to do sooner or later. No planning problems etc.

So stuff them. We would have been perfect.

By ShallowWaterFish on Tue 29-Jul-08 23:15:06

BIG george

By ShallowWaterFish on Tue 29-Jul-08 23:15:55

no visible pores george

By LynetteScavo on Tue 29-Jul-08 23:16:40

ROLF!

By LynetteScavo on Tue 29-Jul-08 23:19:40

Ahhhhh! Just realised:this is George

<<swoon>>

George is gorgeous. I had a thread about him but it must have been in Chat because it has gone!

By cornsilk on Thu 31-Jul-08 23:32:54

Ooooh George is rather nice isn't he?

By KatyMac on Thu 31-Jul-08 23:34:49

Gosh I'd love you too

I don't think OFSTED would let you

We'd like an attic extension so we could foster (only have 2 bedrooms now & we'd need 2 more)

We are a normal family with a normal (low) income & a 2 bed-room ex-council house

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
