Am I just a horrible person, or was anyone else feeling secretly quite pleased that they didn't get any offers on that house...?

Aloha thanks for that, that figure is unbelievable!!
I must agree I thought their builders were fab, no plans or anything, and they worked so well, what is their phone number??
Bet they sell it now it's been on telly.
lol at Beeny baby!

Sorry, but why on earth did they buy a property of that value, with a view to developing it without having a survey done???? Could have saved them £20K up front.

Why couldn't they see that their design influence was the same as putting plain white tiles in the bathroom and handing £3500 straight to the buyer?? Especially if it all gets ripped straight out again???

I thought they were STOOPID - give me the money and I'll do a much cleaner job, sympathetic to its roots and heritage and come away with £100K in my back pocket!

I loved the builder's face when the nutty one showed him her design ideas.... he was desperatly trying not to burst out laughing
she was sooo annoying and basically crazy wasn't she? sister was being walked all over by her. Poor boyfriends if they have one...

Dh fell in love with the sisters.

Living room looked horrible though. Too much going on.

Hmmm....if they have found a buyer at £700K...in a falling market... reminds me of the loony couple in Richmond (?) who claimed to have found a buyer at some outrageous sum. I think they seemed loaded.

SoupDragon · 23/09/2004 10:25

Maybe they did find a buyer. There will always be people with more money than taste, Aloha

JoolsToo · 24/09/2004 14:07

that downstairs loo is perfect for throwing up in!

Frenchgirl · 24/09/2004 14:49

ks why are you doing a link to a story about red squirrels???

tamum · 24/09/2004 14:55

She wasn't, honest, Frenchgirl. I looked when it was first there and it was the right story about the sisters. I guess because it's a local newspaper they update the website every day!

Frenchgirl · 24/09/2004 14:57

or maybe the mad sisters have turned into squirrels?

tamum · 24/09/2004 14:58

I bet the paper is wondering why on earth their red squirrel page is getting so many hits

I'm certain that squireel could have done a better job of decorating the house then than the mad sisters.

Frenchgirl · 24/09/2004 18:06

how do you pronounce squireel Soupy? as in squire-eel? conjures up very odd image of an eel in hunting attire....

codswallop · 24/09/2004 18:49

the annoying thing is that type of house is my dream house and the location is superb - minutes aways form sanbanks beach
silly bints

tamum · 24/09/2004 18:51

I believe it's still for sale if you're interested?

SoupDragon · 24/09/2004 18:56

I couldn't be bothered to correct my typing Frenchgirl. I think it's SquiREEL though.
