Wouldn’t feature HMO “renovations” and renos from the white walls box clan?

Everytime I watch the houses are transformed into characterless white boxes or scruffy HMOs. Why can’t they focus on actual HOME renovations? Nobody cares about bloody HMOs

I cannot watch this awful paean to landlord greed.

Totally agree OP. Plus my heart sinks when they inevitably eradicate beautiful mature shrubs and trees and turn the garden into a box too.

They all look the same!
Cheap nasty kitchen, cheap nasty bathroom. White/magnolia painted walls and a greige carpet. A 4 bed home fully 'renovated' for approximately 5K doesn't scream quality job, no matter how much work they have done themselves.
I often wonder how long the tenants live there before paint starts peeling and the carpet starts to get worn out and manky.

What annoys me are these people who come on to this show with a folder full of their 'portfolio' of properties that they own, ready to add another one to it. Pisses me right off. 🙄 No-one should own more than one home.

But yeah, I am sick of HMOs too. And I agree that when they do these properties up, they are bland and dull!

Presumably because landlords are the only ones winning the auctions. I agree it doesn’t make for good tv.
