SoI caught a bit of this on C4 +1. It's mainly about the state some of the houses are in when the tenants are evicted.
So far I've seen the lady who owed £5k and part of the kitchen ceiling had fallen in due to a leak, and the couple where the mum is disabled and they're talking about getting a skip in to clear the house.
Is it just me thinking that the state of the houses isn't that bad? Especially the lady with the fallen-in ceiling.
I mean, yes, they're a grubby. But in the fallen-in-ceiling womans house, there was no junk or clutter, all the surfaces in the kitchen looked clean enough, but the landlord was wringing his hands in despair and the camera was doing close ups of mud on the floor and dust on the windowsills. Not like there's shit everywhere or anything. A couple of hours with some flash and a hoover would have put it right from what I saw (to a basic standard anyway)
The second house was full of 'stuff' and the kitchen did look pretty rank...but again, take a bit of flash to it, box up the junk and scrub the floors, you could probably have it looking decentish in an hour or two.
So AIBU to think they're making a bit of a meal out of the state of a couple of the houses?
AIBU?
