0:00:23 > 0:00:26- We experience the highs...
0:00:26 > 0:00:28- Accepted, 245. Fantastic.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32- Move the door.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- ..of putting your house up for sale.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- Subtitles
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- We all have our reasons - for selling our homes.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- Estate agents must be ready - to deal with all situations...
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- ..and all kinds of people.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- One man with great people skills...
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- ..is Iestyn Leyshon from - Lloyd Herbert & Jones, Aberystwyth.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Today, Iestyn - is in Aberystwyth town centre...
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- ..to do a viewing - with potential buyers.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Victoria is looking to buy - her first family home.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- Her mother has come with her for - this second viewing of this house.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- The house, which is currently used - as student accommodation...
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- ..is on the market - for just under 150,000.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- These viewers want to buy - a family home in the town.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- This is suitable but they'd have to - adapt it to their needs.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51- This is Victoria's second viewing - and something may come of it.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- But Victoria sees a little problem.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- I know you've got questions - over the size of the yard.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Yes. I've got a Chihuahua.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- It's big enough for two Chihuahuas! - Have another dog.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- There's not much room - for more people out here.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- It's the ideal bin storage - and for the Chihuahua.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- It's a bit small, - with having children as well.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Let's so upstairs - and see if I can convince you.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Fewer and fewer landlords buy - properties to let in Aberystwyth...
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- ..and Iestyn - has a theory about that.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- There's a lot of student - accommodation in the centre of town.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- The number of students - who live in town is dropping.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49- The college has built brand new, - lovely halls of residence.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- That means - they get the pick of the tenants.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- The houses in town are old - and in need of work.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- They need new kitchens, bathrooms, - carpets and matching furniture.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- The landlords - must compete with the university.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- This is a great, - six bedroom student house.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- If you get 65 per week per room...
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- ..you're talking about - over 18,000 a year in rent.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- People with money in the bank, come - and buy houses in Aberystwyth now!
0:03:22 > 0:03:23- We need you.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- The third floor - appeals to Victoria...
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- ..but one little thing - is still on her mind.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- The only problem - is the little garden.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- This Chihuahua's having more fuss - than the kids and the people.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- The bedrooms are great - but it isn't ideal for the dog.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- The dog is more important - than the children!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- She needs a bigger garden - for the dog.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- This massive house - isn't good enough for the Chihuahua.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- Victoria won't buy this house but - Iestyn has another option for her.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- They've seen a student house - on Mill Street...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- ..but this one has a bigger garden.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- They prefer it - because of the garden.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12- Cheerio! Bye-bye.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- They're going that way. - I'm going this way.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Ruth Tottey from Dafydd Hardy - sold thousands of properties...
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- ..during her 20 years - with the company.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37- Ruth is out of the office and on - her way to a meeting with a client.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- I'm going to see Mabel, - who's one of my vendors.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- I love talking to her and she pops - into the office quite regularly.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- The market is a bit slack - on Anglesey at the moment...
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- ..and I'm going to suggest we reduce - the asking price on her house.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- We have a good rapport - and I think she'll listen to me.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- We're good mates, to be honest.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Mabel's home has been on the market - for a few months.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- It's a three bedroom house - on the outskirts of Llangefni...
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- ..with an asking price of 167,000.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18- Hiya, Mabel.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Hiya, Mabel.- - Hello, Ruth. How are you?
0:05:20 > 0:05:21- Is the kettle on? Tea and a cake?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- Is the kettle on? Tea and a cake?- - Why not?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Mabel has lived here - for almost 50 years.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- The decision to sell the house - was difficult for her.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33- Moving is a big step.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- I've always lived here, - in the countryside.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- But I took that decision - and I really want to go now.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- You're ready to move.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47- Yes, and it would be good to move - closer to my daughter in Llangefni.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- As you get older, - that's the most important thing.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Having to move from your home - can be an emotional experience.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- How do our estate agents - deal with it?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Everyone's different.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Some people worry from the second - the house is for sale.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Others start worrying - when the sale is agreed.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- A sale takes three to four months - to go through...
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- ..and it's a difficult time.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- You're with a little family - for a long time...
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- ..and it can be really emotional.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- But nothing beats handing over - the keys when the sale is complete.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- It's brilliant.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- I've looked at the other - detached houses with a garage...
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- ..which are on the market - in this area.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- If we can reduce the asking price - to 157,000...
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- ..we'd hope to find a buyer.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45- Yes.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Are you happy with that?
0:06:47 > 0:06:48- Are you happy with that?- - Yes. We'll try it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- I'll go back to the office - and talk to the girls.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- When I've done that, I'll ask Admin - to change the asking price.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- It will appear on the website with - the new price the following day.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08- Let's hope it pays off for Mabel - and Ruth manages to sell her home.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- I'm very pleased because - she listened to my reasoning.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- She's got faith in us.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- At this reduced price, - I hope to drum up some interest...
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- ..and let's hope we get - an offer on the house very quickly.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Thank you - for the cuppa and the cake.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- You're welcome.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Ta-ta!
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Sophie Williams works in the - Caernarfon branch of Dafydd Hardy...
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- ..and she's always delighted - to find new homes for her buyers.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Sophie is showing a potential buyer - around a bungalow...
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- ..in the village of Dinorwig.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- This area - is very close to her heart.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- I like Dinorwig. It's fantastic.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05- I come from Deiniolen...
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- ..but I really like Dinorwig.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09- It's really lovely.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- Unfortunately, the location - hasn't sold the bungalow.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- It's been on the market - for a year...
0:08:18 > 0:08:23- ..and the price was recently reduced - to just under 140,000.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Sophie hopes the new price - will appeal to buyers.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- It will appeal to someone who wants - to live in this quiet area...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- ..and who enjoys - walking and climbing.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- The people are lovely. - Come on, Deiniols!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Amy has shown an interest - in the bungalow.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Hiya, Amy. Come on in.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45- Let's go.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- This project would leave Amy - with lots of renovation work to do.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- This is the living room.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- This is a lovely fireplace.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- You could strip off the woodchip.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- It's really dated now, isn't it?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- They used it - to cover many sins years ago.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- Is it just wallpaper?
0:09:05 > 0:09:06- Is it just wallpaper?- - Yes, so you could strip it.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- I'd knock it back to the stone - to get the character back.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Let's go into the bedrooms.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- You've got a view of the mountains - plus the sea from here, Amy.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- You'd have it on a clear day - but not today.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26- Not really.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- What do you think of the size?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Is this the bigger bedroom?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- The other one's quite big too. - Come and take a look.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39- You'd get rid of those.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- What's the view like?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- It's too close to the road - to have it as a bedroom.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- You've got to shop around and see - what's available for the price.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- It's worth looking.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Amy clearly has mixed feelings.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- How common is this for Sophie...
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- ..and how does she deal with - buyers' wish lists?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- You know when they like it - because the viewing flows.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- If it's not the one for them, - they're quiet.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14- I never take silence personally - because people's minds are ticking.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Men are terrible. They don't speak.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- They just go around knocking walls.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- They don't give anything away ever.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Have you seen everything, Amy?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Have you seen everything, Amy?- - Yes, that was great.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- I'll phone you in a couple of days - to get some feedback...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- ..and we'll take it from there.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- Thanks. Ta-ta!
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- Amy decided that the bungalow - was too big a project for her...
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- ..so Sophie - is still looking for a buyer.
0:10:52 > 0:10:58- Marc Morrish from Seal & Co is one - of Cardiff's leading auctioneers.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- This isn't in my job description.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Marc usually sells property - at auction...
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- ..and 30 properties - go under his hammer today.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26- The boys taking telephone bids - will be here.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- My spotter, who looks out - for bidders, will be here.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- What's the secret - of Marc's success as an auctioneer?
0:11:38 > 0:11:39- This is my gavel.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- My uncle made it for me - before he passed away.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- It has real sentimental value.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46- I enjoy using it.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Let's see - if it does well for me today.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- People take their seats - in the auction room...
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- ..and Marc gets ready.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Will he taste success today?

0:12:14 > 0:12:14- Subtitles
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Buyers at auctions - are bargain hunters...
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- ..but prices can exceed - the guide prices.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- In Cardiff, - the auction room is jam-packed...
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- ..and Marc hopes to see huge - interest in two houses in Cathays.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- First, a two bedroom - terraced house on Daniel Street.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Its guide price is 85,000 but can - Marc nudge the price higher?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- A guide price of 85. - Do I see 85 at all bid?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- 85. Thank you, sir. Looking for 86.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- 86. Thank you. 87? 87. 88? 88.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Things are hotting up...
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- ..as Marc pushes hard - to get the best possible price.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- 93, 94, 95.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- 96, 97.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- Marc is in his element, but - what's the secret of his success?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Creating a good atmosphere - and a good flow in the room.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29- When people see that, they start - to bid and the auction goes well.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Marc sells the house for over - 15,000 more than guide price.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40- Can he repeat that success with - the property on Monthermer Road?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- Someone who's sold many houses - in challenging locations...
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- ..is the main man, Dafydd Hardy.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56- Half a village near Corris was - put up for sale for 1.5 million...
0:13:56 > 0:13:57- ..some weeks ago.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- The houses are all occupied...
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- ..and Dafydd is keen for the tenants - to be allowed to stay.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- A London company has shown an - interest in this solid investment...
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- ..which brings in - an income of 70,000 a year.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- They've asked for even more details.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- It's quite complicated - because there are 16 houses there.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- They want further details about - the tenants - their ages, and so on.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36- I just e-mailed the company acting - on behalf of the interested party...
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- ..inviting them to come and see - the location and the houses too.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- They may want to see the properties - and meet some of the tenants.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- I feel quite positive, - especially looking at the economy...
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- ..and the fact - we're coming out of Europe.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- Brexit has had an impact - on the market to some extent.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- In the context of investment...
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- ..perhaps property - is a better investment than shares.
0:15:14 > 0:15:20- Back in Cardiff, Marc has started to - sell the house on Monthermer Road.
0:15:22 > 0:15:28- This four bedroom house would make a - great family home or a buy-to-let.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- It has a guide price of 135,000.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- 136 I'm looking for. Thank you. 136.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- 137?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38- The bidding starts low.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- The telephone buyer faces - competition on the auction floor.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- 142? 142. 143? 143.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51- 144, 145, 146.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- The price keep climbing...
0:15:56 > 0:16:01- ..and when it reaches 165,000 - the telephone buyer seems to stall.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- Be quick.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- 165 I've got, so I'll sell. - 166, thank you.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- A new bidder in the room - pushes up the price again...
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- ..giving the telephone bidder - time to reconsider.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- 180 is bid. 181?
0:16:20 > 0:16:21- 180 is bid with you, sir.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26- Give me a minute.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- The bidder in the room - is keen to seal the deal...
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- ..but he has fresh competition.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- 181. 182? No.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- 181 with you, sir.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- At the last minute, - another bidder joins in.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Anybody else coming in? - I've got 181 so I'll sell at 181.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48- 182. 183?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- The telephone bidder - refuses to let it go.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- 184,500.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57- 185? 185?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- The telephone bidder - is under pressure.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04- I'll sell it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- 185, with the phone at 185.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Do you want half again? 185,500.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- I'll sell at 185,500. - I'm looking for 186.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- I sell at 185,500. Sold. 185,500.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- Marc managed to get 50,000 - above the guide price for the house.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- What fate awaits - the final property to be sold...
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- ..Bethel Chapel, Maesycwmer?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- Dafydd hasn't yet sold - the Aberllefenni properties...
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- ..but he has another big project - in the pipeline.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- Dafydd has crossed the bridge - to Anglesey...
0:17:45 > 0:17:50- ..to carry out a valuation on a - cluster of cottages in Rhostrehwfa.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- What we have here - are nine cottages...
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- ..which were created when the - outbuildings here were converted.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- They're luxury cottages.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Some of them are holiday lets...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- ..and some are long-term lets...
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- ..for people who want to stay - for six months or longer.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- With so many cottages for sale - in one location...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- ..how will Dafydd market them?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- I'll try to sell them - as a single lot...
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- ..rather than break them up - into separate units.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- We're looking for an investor who - wants to buy all nine cottages...
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- ..and draw an income from them.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- They're all being sold - fully furnished.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Whoever purchases them can buy them - and let them the next day.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Some already have tenants, - of course.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- How on earth does Dafydd settle on - the market value of nine cottages?
0:18:55 > 0:19:01- The prices in this area aren't - as high as somewhere like Beaumaris.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- That's why you must be quite - conservative with the asking price.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- I tend to be realistic - when it comes to prices these days.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Every vendor is convinced - their house is worth more...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- ..than anyone else's property.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- The best plot on the site!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- To be fair, - this is a really stunning plot.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- But is a great view - enough to sell a property?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34- Anglesey is flat...
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- ..but we're on high ground here, - looking over the whole of Snowdonia.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- You can see Snowdon, - so the view is magnificent.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- Dafydd will think hard about how - to market such expensive property.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- When it comes to a lot like this...
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- ..you've got to find - the marketing angle.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00- In this case, it's the location - and the income it generates.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- I think every single element - must do that.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- In the case of Aberllefenni, - those houses are unique...
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- ..and they're in the great setting - of the Corris area.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- When it comes to marketing, - this calls for something different.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- You can't - just put it in the newspaper.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- What's the most expensive property - sold by our estate agents?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- We started off at 750,000 - and we ended up at 1.7 million.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Around 650,000.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- It was an incredible house - with an amazing view...
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- ..in the middle of Anglesey.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48- It was really nice.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- We sold one for just under - one million two years ago.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Those properties - are few and far between.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- A few weeks have passed since Mabel - agreed to lower the asking price.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05- Hi. Good morning.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- The three bedroom house is still - for sale but there's positive news.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- We had a viewing with Mr - and he loved the house.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Mrs went there with him - over the weekend...
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- ..and we're waiting for them - to get back to us.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- He loved it, so let's hope - his wife felt the same.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33- Cross fingers.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Sometimes, we have - dozens of viewings with no sales.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- It can be hard - to judge people's reactions.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- The people - who get most excited in the house...
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- ..are the ones who just walk away.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- Sometimes, a person who's - really quiet during a viewing...
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- ..has put in an offer before we - have time to get back to the office.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Lot number 21.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04- Bethel Pentecostal Church, - Mount Pleasant, Maesycwmer, Hengoed.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Back in Cardiff, Marc reaches - the final property on the list.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- He's about to try to sell - Bethel Chapel.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- There was little interest shown - prior to the auction...
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- ..but Marc hopes - that's about to change.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- The guide price is set at 69,000.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- It needs extensive renovation.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Do I see 69 at all?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- 65 then?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- 65, thank you. 65 is bid.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- It doesn't look good - and there's little interest in it.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Nobody else here for it?
0:22:43 > 0:22:44- OK.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49- Nobody wants to breathe new life - into Bethel, which disappoints Marc.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- How was the rest of the auction?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- It was 50/50 really and the - EU referendum has put people off.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- We did receive a few enquiries - after the auction...
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- ..and we can sell four or five lots - after the auction has ended.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- A local businessman - later offered to buy Bethel...
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- ..with the aim - of turning it into a restaurant.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Ruth is still seeking a buyer - for Mabel's house...
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- ..and Iestyn - is still seeking a landlord...
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- ..to buy the house in Aberystwyth.
