-Is there a lot of competition trying -to reach your level in your sport? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:21 | |
-With weightlifting, -it's not a popular sport. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-It's low down as a priority. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-The funding is really low. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
-You need to be -at a very good level... | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
-..to get funding -and get on a programme. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
-At the moment, I'm the only one -on the programme with Sport Wales. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |

-So far, what have been -your highlights? | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-I competed at the Commonwealth -Games in Glasgow in 2014. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
-They were my first games. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
-I'd been training as a weightlifter -for only a year before going. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
-To reach that level after only -training for a year... | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
-..it was absolutely amazing. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
-After that, in 2015... | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
-..I competed in India -at the Commonwealth Championship. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
-I came in fifth there. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
-After that, -there had been anti-doping testing. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:27 | |
-So, in 2016, I got my bronze medal -that I'd won the year before. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:34 | |
-That's a definite highlight -for me... | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
-..winning my first medal -from the Commonwealth. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
-Obviously, -everyone sees the medals. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
-They see the success -and that kind of stuff. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
-But there's hard background work -involved to reach that point. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
-What's your usual daily routine? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
-Coming up to the games... | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |

-..that day is important, isn't it? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
-It's your recovery day. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:25 | |
-That's the time your body has -to recover... | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-..so you can build -on your work that week. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-Absolutely. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
-Usually, if I have time, -I like to go to the spa. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:38 | |

-I want to change -the way people think. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |

-My left side is 20% weaker -than the right. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
-Muscular imbalance. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:09 | |
-Muscular imbalance. - -20%! | 0:07:09 | 0:07:10 | |
-That's the difference between doing -an 80kg squat or 100kg squat. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
-That's massive. -I was just like "How?" | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
-That's what we're trying to do now. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |

-This is your friend. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
-My friend, let's call him Dave. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
-It's nice to have Dave in the room -when I have treatments. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
-The physios use it -to explain what happens. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
-In truth, you don't want -to be in this room. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
-You don't want to pick up an injury. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
-Yes, I try to avoid this room -as much as I can. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
-It's nice to come in and get -a massage now and again. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:48 | |
-Afterwards, when I get home, -I can just relax. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-I then know that I've left here -in a fit state and ready to train. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |

-The room behind me we use -for testing and other things. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
-For weightlifters, they test -your blood for lactate levels. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
-They test to see if you've recovered -for your next session. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:19 | |

-Rules are very important -in your sport too. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-There's a long list of substances -you can't take. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:56 | |
-You understand and know precisely -what's on that list. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:02 | |

-There's a constant change. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
-Things go on and then come off. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
-Any time you take something... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-..you need to check first -to make sure it's not banned. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
-I'm sure that there will be -young girls who watch this... | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
-..and will be inspired -to take part in weightlifting. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |

-It's an honour just to be here. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
-How did you get here? | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
-I had a chance to build up -to this level. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
-I competed a lot at university. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |

-You started at fourteen. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
-At Plasmawr, -where I went to school... | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-..my maths teacher -used to row when she was younger. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |

-I'm sure the battle in the team -has already started. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-The work for Tokyo had started -before Rio finished. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
-They were talking about Tokyo -two years before Rio. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
-It takes four years of hard work -to reach that level. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
-There are competitions on the way. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
-There's the World Cup, -World Championships and local stuff. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
-Those keep is in our bubble before -we compete at the highest level. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
-That bubble is already -at quite a high level. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
-What's it like... | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
-..to both compete against and train -with the best in the World? | 0:15:25 | 0:15:30 | |
-It's harder here. -You compete against friends. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
-You know how good they are. -You know their tactics. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
-You know who's in good form. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
-It's hard to race your friends -when you train with them every day. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
-On the one hand, it's nice to have -the chance to race with friends. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:49 | |
-It's nice to get one over on someone -who's been beating you for a year. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:54 | |
-It's really cool. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
-Once you finish competing -against your friends here... | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-..taking on -the rest of the world is easy. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
-Is there a close camaraderie here? | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
-We're all friends -and we all enjoy what we're doing. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
-We're all aiming for the same thing. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
-Who do you have in your team? | 0:16:10 | 0:16:11 | |
-There are seven of us in the -lightweight men's team. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
-There are forty rowers -in the whole team. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
-There are a lot of staff, -physiologists and physios. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
-There are kitchen staff. -There's a huge team around us. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-The resources here are world famous. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
-The resources here are world famous. - -This is where we keep the boats. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
-There are over 100 boats in here. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
-There are even more outside. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:34 | |
-Almost everyone has -their own single sculls boat. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
-These boats are for... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
-..the World Championships -and other competitions... | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
-..whenever we compete with -more than one person in the boat. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
-What's the value of a boat? | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
-On its own, -a single scull is about 10,000. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
-The big ones, the 8-berth boats -are 60,000-70,000. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
-Do you have to maintain the boats? | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
-We look after our own boats. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
-There are people here who look after -the boats that don't belong to us. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:05 | |
-We're supposed to wash them down -every time but we don't always! | 0:17:05 | 0:17:10 | |
-I won't tell anyone! | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
-How specialized are these boats? | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
-These are the best boats available. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
-They're not just what we could buy. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
-A lot of time -went into building them... | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
-..and to ensure the set-up for each -boat suits the person rowing it. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
-Everything that goes into these -boats is top of the range. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-When we see these world-famous -competitions... | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
-..would everyone from every country -be using the same boat? | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
-Every country has to have the chance -to buy these boats. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
-It's up to the athletes or teams -to buy the boats themselves. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
-You're supported by the Lottery. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:47 | |
-You're supported by the Lottery. - -The National Lottery looks after us. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
-That is where -all the money comes from. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-They help us buy the boats... | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
-..they fund us, this whole building -and everyone who looks after us. | 0:17:55 | 0:18:00 | |
-Without the lottery Team GB wouldn't -be in the great shape it is. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-Speaking of this particular -building, can we take a look? | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
-Of course. Let's go. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
-The centre opened in 2006. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
-It cost 13 million. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
-It's great to walk through here -and see all the memories of success. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:28 | |
-There's a lot of that. -Everyone's on the wall. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-If you've done well, -you've got a place on the wall. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-What's it like to work -with such people? | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
-Are they heroes or just friends? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
-I look up to them. -I also think I'm part of the team. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
-I'm a part of this. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:45 | |
-They're not heroes, but it's nice -that they're right at the top... | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
-..and that I can compete at -the same level as them, hopefully. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
-You do, don't you? | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
-Everyone turns up every morning, -does their job and goes home. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
-That's nice for us. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:02 | |
-We can just come in, train -and go home. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
-Speaking of hard work, -a lot is done in here. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
-Yes. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
-What exactly? | 0:19:10 | 0:19:10 | |
-What exactly? - -We do a lot of weights in here. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
-We do stuff with the physios. -We use the machines in here. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
-It's physical stuff. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
-The rowing machines are next door. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
-We do our aerobic workouts there. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
-You need to be more than just fit -to be in a boat here. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
-Technique is important -as is physical and mental strength. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:32 | |
-Do you have psychologists here too? | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
-Do you have psychologists here too? - -Yes, we do. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:35 | |
-We can choose to speak to them -in a group or as our "boat". | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
-We can speak to them -as individuals. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
-They help you on a personal level -not just with racing and sport... | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
-..they help with -day-to-day struggles. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
-How do you keep that momentum going? -How do you maintain positivity? | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
-You just focus on the task at hand. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
-You focus on each day, -a week or perhaps a month ahead. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
-Beyond that, we wait until -it's time to think about it. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-I noticed that you do -a lot of work together. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
-Teamwork is important, I'm sure. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
-Do you learn how pairs -work together in a boat? | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
-What makes a boat go faster -is doing the same thing together. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
-Some understanding on how people -move, putting trust in others... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
-..and working as a team helps. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
-You work on the body, technique, -the mind and your core. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
-Absolutely everything. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:31 | |
-There's nowhere -where we don't look for an edge. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
-On a personal level... | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
-..are you surprised -at how far you can push yourself? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
-I've done too much a few times. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
-I've pushed myself so far -that I fell off a rowing machine... | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
-..or I was very ill afterwards. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
-It's nice to see how the work -we do on the rowing machine... | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
-..or on the water makes such -a difference when we race. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
-The only thing -you don't do here is sleep. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
-There is a chance to sleep here. -There's a cabin outside. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
-There are bunk beds there to sleep -between sessions. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
-We can't stay overnight but we can -nap between sessions if we need to. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
-I'm surprised that -there isn't a running machine. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
-There are plenty of bikes. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
-Is there a link -between the two sports? | 0:21:20 | 0:21:24 | |
-Yes, there is a link. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:25 | |
-Rowing is very important... | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
-..but we use the bikes -to improve our aerobic fitness. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:33 | |
-We do a lot on both cycling -and rowing machines. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
-We probably use the rowing machines -more than anything else. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
-There must be a great atmosphere -here when it's full. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
-There's music going and usually, -everyone's moving at the same time. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
-There's a massive noise. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:49 | |
-This massive, purpose-built lake -which is a part of the centre... | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
-..is named after Team GB's -most successful rowers... | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
-..Steve Redgrave -and Matthew Pinsent. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
-Zak, here we are -on the Redgrave-Pinsent Lake. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
-Are they big heroes of yours? | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
-I grew up watching their races -at the Olympics. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
-It was a privilege to watch them... | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
-..and think that I'd be following -in their competitive footsteps... | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
-..and hoping -to reach the same level. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
-It's really cool to train -on a lake that is named after them. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
-It's so good. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:26 | |
-It's been created -to help us perform. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
-It's the only reason it was created. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
-What's your motivation during -all those hours spent on the lake? | 0:22:31 | 0:22:36 | |
-It's a chance to think about -whatever you want. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-Sometimes, we think about technique. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
-Sometimes, we think about what -we're doing to our bodies... | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
-..and the work we do. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:47 | |
-Sometimes, I think about lunch... | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
-..or look forward to a second -breakfast usually. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
-I'm sure you sometimes think about -crossing that finish line first. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
-How does that feel? | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
-It's a really good feeling. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
-All of that work we do and the time -we put into rowing and rowing well. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
-To be able to cross -the finish line and say... | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
-..I've done everything I could -to do as well as I could. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
-That's everything, -that's my performance. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
-Is it good enough? We'll see. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
-It's the best job I'll ever have. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
-Hopefully, after Tokyo... | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
-..you'll be returning to Wales -with your gold medal... | 0:23:21 | 0:23:26 | |
-..speaking -to the next generation of rowers. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
-That would be great. -That's a high ambition. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
-That would be amazing. -That's the plan. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
-Zak, hopefully, we'll get a chance -to chat again after the Tokyo games. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
-It's been a pleasure -to spend the day with you. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
-Good luck. -It's been a wonderful day. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:48 | |
-Thank you very much for coming. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
-It's been a pleasure to show you -where I spend a lot of my time. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
-Zak Lee Green and Christie Williams -are two names to keep an eye on. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
-Next time on Sgwad Ser Cymru, -I meet Rhys Lewis from Machynlleth. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
-He shoots clay pigeons. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
-I meet Manon Lloyd -from Carmarthen... | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
-..at Manchester's National -Cycling Centre. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
-Goodbye. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:16 | |
-. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:20 | |
-Subtitles | 0:24:21 | 0:24:21 | |
-Subtitles - -Subtitles | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
-Around 50,000 properties -are sold in Wales every year. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
-Little wonder then -that we have so many estate agents. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:35 | |
-Ruth Tottey is one of the most -experienced sales negotiators... | 0:24:38 | 0:24:43 | |
-..on the Dafydd Hardy team. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
-Ruth has worked for the company -for over 20 years. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:52 | |
-How many houses has she valued? | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
-In the past 20 years? | 0:24:57 | 0:24:58 | |
-Dear me! Hundreds. | 0:24:58 | 0:24:59 | |
-I can't put a figure on it. -Hundreds. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
-It's an aspect of the job -that I really enjoy. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
-I enjoy seeing new properties -and meeting new people. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
-It's brilliant. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
-I love my job, to be honest. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
-Today, Ruth will draw up a valuation -on a house in Llangefni... | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
-..which holds several surprises. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
-Hiya! I'm Ruth. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:26 | |
-Hello. How are you? | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
-I'm Nia. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:29 | |
-I'm Nia. - -Here's my card. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
-Thank you very much. Come in. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
-Here we are, in the hall. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
-Very nice. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
-This is the original tiled floor. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
-This is the original tiled floor. - -It's a nice feature as you walk in. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
-It's one of the first things -potential buyers will see. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
-That's what attracted me -to this house. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
-I walked in, saw the tiles -and thought, "Wow!" | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
-Nia inherited her parents' house -and moved in herself. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
-She's keen to sell this house. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
-So keen, in fact, -that she hardly needs Ruth. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
-This is the lounge. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:06 | |
-This is the lounge. - -It's a wonderful room. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
-We had the fireplace fitted. -It's quite new. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
-This pattern was on the old windows, -so we kept that. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
-This is the utility and, as you can -see, there were once servants here. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:24 | |
-They could ring the bells. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
-They could ring the bells. - -Oh, posh! | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
-It's an original feature -but it doesn't work any more. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
-That's a shame. I want a cup of tea! | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
-This clothes dryer is also original. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
-Do you use it? | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
-Do you use it? - -Yes. It's really handy. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:42 | |
-That's really nice. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:44 | |
-It's a spacious landing. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
-You could have a party here! | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
-That window is original. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:51 | |
-It opens upwards and across... | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
-..so I think that's how people -got their furniture in and out. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
-This house -is packed with brilliant features. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
-Ruth has plenty to work with here. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
-What does Nia feel -will sell the property? | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
-I hope people love the house, -like I did. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
-It's important -that I take the viewings myself. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
-I've lived here and I can -answer people's questions... | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
-..about the work -that's been done to the house. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:28 | |
-Fingers crossed someone falls -in love with my house and buys it. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:33 | |
-Someone has already -fallen in love with it! | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
-Once you get someone through the -door, this house will sell itself. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
-It's packed with features -and it's a great size for a semi. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
-I could almost buy it myself. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:48 | |
-I could almost buy it myself. - -Do it! | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
-Nia hopes to sell it -for around 250,000. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
-Can she find a buyer who'll pay -that sort of money for it... | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
-..and love it as much as Ruth? | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
-Ruth is optimistic and -she'll market the house at 249,000. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:07 | |
-The house is great. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
-It's in good condition... | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
-..and houses like that -are very rare in Llangefni. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
-It's a big semi -and it's close to the school... | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
-..and close to the leisure centre. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
-Fingers and toes crossed. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
-In Aberystwyth, Iestyn Leyshon -from Lloyd Herbert & Jones... | 0:28:28 | 0:28:33 | |
-..loves his job -as a property seller. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
-Through there. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:40 | |
-Come with me. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:42 | |
-That's an adventurous colour. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
-Iestyn is bubbly. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
-What are you doing here? | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
-Romantic. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:52 | |
-He loves to have a laugh. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:54 | |
-That caught you out! | 0:28:56 | 0:28:57 | |
-Do you want to do that again? | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
-He also relishes -the challenge of selling a house. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:08 | |
-That didn't sound good! | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
-Today is a good day. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
-Iestyn is in Trawscoed, -near Aberystwyth... | 0:29:15 | 0:29:18 | |
-..to take a look at a property which -has been on the market for a while. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:24 | |
-This is no ordinary house. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
-It's not every day -you get to view a house like this. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
-This is part of the residence -of the Vaughan family... | 0:29:31 | 0:29:35 | |
-..and it was -part of the Crosswood Park estate. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:40 | |
-The place is captivating. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:42 | |
-Crosswood Park was considered to be -among Wales's top stately homes. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:48 | |
-It's being sold in lots... | 0:29:50 | 0:29:52 | |
-..and this one -is valued at 500,000. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
-Shoulders back, lovely boy! | 0:29:55 | 0:29:57 | |
-This section of the house could -be adapted into a three-storey home. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:02 | |
-It includes an old library -and ten acres of land. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:06 | |
-Ten acres of land -which Iestyn is about to wreck! | 0:30:06 | 0:30:10 | |
-That was alright! | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
-The average house price in Wales -is around 140,000... | 0:30:49 | 0:30:53 | |
-..but prices can vary at auction. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:57 | |
-One property seller and auctioneer -who understands this... | 0:31:01 | 0:31:04 | |
-..is Glyn Owens -from Clough & Co, Ruthin. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
-Glyn specializes in selling farms -and smallholdings... | 0:31:08 | 0:31:12 | |
-..mainly at auctions -held at Ruthin Livestock Market. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:15 | |
-Glyn is carrying out a valuation -on a unique property... | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
-..which goes under the hammer -in a few weeks. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:25 | |
-I'm now in the school building. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
-There are -some interesting features here. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:32 | |
-This is an old wood and coal burner. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:35 | |
-Imagine how dangerous -it must have been years ago. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:39 | |
-This school wouldn't pass a -health and safety inspection today. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:49 | |
-Let's go through to the extension -which was added to the rear. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:53 | |
-Unfortunately, it's in disrepair. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
-The roof has been leaking. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
-This part of the building -has a flat roof. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
-It needs extensive repair work. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
-Here you can see the girls' toilets -and the boys' toilets. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:11 | |
-What sort of money does Glyn expect -the old school to fetch at auction? | 0:32:13 | 0:32:18 | |
-We'll set an estimate of 60,000. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
-With this sort of building... | 0:32:21 | 0:32:23 | |
-..it depends how much you'll spend -on the finishing touches... | 0:32:23 | 0:32:27 | |
-..but the renovations -are bound to cost around 100,000. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:32 | |
-Once the work has been done, -it'll be a unique building... | 0:32:32 | 0:32:36 | |
-..and a wonderful home for someone. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
-It will take hard work and at least -100,000 to renovate the old school. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:45 | |
-Who will be the successful bidder -at the auction? | 0:32:47 | 0:32:50 | |
-Back in Aberystwyth, selling -Crosswood is a massive challenge... | 0:32:53 | 0:32:58 | |
-..but Iestyn doesn't seem to be -too worried about it. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
-Does he have more to show us? | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
-I wanted to show you this vista, -looking out over the garden... | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
-..plus this floor. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:13 | |
-The ceiling joists -support nothing but the ceiling. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
-There are floor joists above it. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:20 | |
-If you bounced up and down upstairs, -in the bedroom... | 0:33:20 | 0:33:24 | |
-..like a trampoline... | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
-..it wouldn't affect -the ceiling below. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
-The plaster wouldn't be damaged. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
-I'm not sure what you mean, Iestyn! | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
-You'd easily spend over 200,000 -on the renovations. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:40 | |
-It depends on the standard -of the finish you want. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:44 | |
-The first fix of electrics -and plumbing has been done. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:48 | |
-It's just a matter -of putting everything back together. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:52 | |
-To be fair, there's a lot of -'putting back together' to be done. | 0:33:55 | 0:34:00 | |
-That ceiling needs a bit of work. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:04 | |
-Water has penetrated in over time. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
-The loose plaster -has been removed... | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
-..and now, the coving -needs to be remoulded and replaced. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:17 | |
-A lot of work. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:20 | |
-There are thousands of houses -on the market in Wales. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:28 | |
-What sort of properties -do our agents prefer to sell? | 0:34:28 | 0:34:32 | |
-I love selling mansions -and seeing how the other half lives. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
-I enjoy every sale, -whether it's 50,000 or 500,000. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
-I still get that buzz. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:41 | |
-I like selling expensive houses -because our fees are then higher! | 0:34:42 | 0:34:47 | |
-But, at the end of the day, we must -put a 100% effort into every house. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:53 | |
-Back at Crosswood, the old library -is an excellent example... | 0:34:57 | 0:35:01 | |
-..of this great house's potential. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:05 | |
-But Iestyn wouldn't read in here. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
-You could do anything in here. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
-I'd love to put -a full-size snooker table in here. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:14 | |
-You can imagine yourself living -here, although the room is so huge. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:19 | |
-You'd fill it with furniture -and it would be a great room. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:23 | |
-Lord Iestyn. Follow me. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
-This very special room was created -for the Prince Of Wales in 1923. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:35 | |
-A house's history -always helps sell it. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:38 | |
-We all love to tell a good story -over dinner. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:42 | |
-Few people can say that the Prince -Of Wales has stayed in their house. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:47 | |
-It's worth something. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:49 | |
-Buy it! | 0:35:49 | 0:35:50 | |
-Thank goodness -Iestyn is an optimist. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:55 | |
-. | 0:35:59 | 0:35:59 | |

-The housing market is evolving... | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
-..and estate agents need -to be creative to attract buyers. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:17 | |
-Someone who's keen for his business -to stay ahead of the game... | 0:36:20 | 0:36:25 | |
-..is Dafydd Hardy. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:27 | |
-Today, it looks like Dafydd has -ventured into the removals business. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:35 | |
-What needs to be moved in here? | 0:36:37 | 0:36:39 | |
-Along with Claire, his wife, -Dafydd is offering a new service. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:44 | |
-We normally -employ porters to do this. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
-What you're seeing here -is our home-staging service. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:54 | |
-There's a lot of work to do before -you put a house on the market. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:59 | |
-It's important that the property -looks at its best... | 0:37:00 | 0:37:04 | |
-..so that we maximize its impact -when it goes on the market. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:09 | |
-The company employs -two professional photographers... | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
-..to produce the best possible -marketing material. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:18 | |
-We do before-and-after shots to -show the client how effective it is. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:23 | |
-We hope the photographs -attract more buyers... | 0:37:25 | 0:37:28 | |
-..and we make a quicker sale. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:30 | |
-Teamwork -is essential in this business... | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
-..and Dafydd is happy -to roll up his sleeves. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:43 | |
-I don't tidy up like this at home! | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
-Claire and the photographer -keep working... | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
-..while the boss has a sit-down -and a chat with the client. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:55 | |
-He does a fabulous job. | 0:37:57 | 0:37:58 | |
-I'd hate for her -to be following us around, bless. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
-She'd be horrified -at us moving her stuff. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
-The less she sees the better. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
-Ideally, we'd pack everything -in boxes and take it out... | 0:38:08 | 0:38:12 | |
-..so that when people view it, it -looks as it does in the photographs. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:17 | |
-Sadly, that's not the case -with this. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:20 | |
-Once the photographs are done... | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
-..they put everything back again. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
-Will the staging pay off -when it comes to selling the house? | 0:38:27 | 0:38:31 | |
-Everything's back where it belongs. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
-In Crosswood, Iestyn is still -seeking the perfect purchaser. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:45 | |
-An ancient property worth 500,000 -in need of 250,000 of repairs... | 0:38:46 | 0:38:51 | |
-..should sell quickly, -but not in this case. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
-One of the reasons it hasn't sold -is the huge renovation cost. | 0:38:56 | 0:39:00 | |
-You'd probably pay the -purchase price again on the repairs. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:05 | |
-Few people are willing -to go through that process. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:09 | |
-You'd be dealing with builders -and the planning department. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:13 | |
-That can put people off. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:15 | |
-I've got to find someone -who's happy to do it. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:19 | |
-Iestyn must come up with -a clever plan... | 0:39:20 | 0:39:22 | |
-..if he's going to find -a brave, rich buyer... | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
-..but, as usual, -he's up for the challenge. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:31 | |
-The challenge goes on -until the day we sell it. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:35 | |
-It's auction day in Ruthin... | 0:39:41 | 0:39:43 | |
-..and the old school in Nebo -is about to be sold. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:47 | |
-With three other lots to sell, -a crowd has gathered. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:51 | |
-Come in quickly -or there'll be no seats left. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
-I feel slightly nervous -before every auction I take. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:02 | |
-I want to do my best for the people -who asked us to sell their property. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:08 | |
-The community and the local council -own the old school... | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
-..so we must do our best for them. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:17 | |
-Welcome, everyone. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:20 | |
-This is a big crowd, -so make sure I can see you. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
-This is your opportunity... | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
-..to buy the former school, -or community centre in Nebo. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:31 | |
-Any reasonable bids -to start, please. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:35 | |
-20. Who said 20? | 0:40:37 | 0:40:39 | |
-Glyn hopes to sell the old school -for 60,000. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:43 | |
-Bidding opened at 20,000 -but that figure soon climbs. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:48 | |
-60,000 by the door. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
-Do I hear 61? | 0:40:51 | 0:40:53 | |
-With bids standing at over 60,000 -what will the selling price be? | 0:40:56 | 0:41:01 | |
-72, 73, 74, 75, 76. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:06 | |
-77,000. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:09 | |
-78,000. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:10 | |
-79,000. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:12 | |
-80,000. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:14 | |
-The price is higher than expected -but how high will the bids go? | 0:41:15 | 0:41:19 | |
-82. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
-83, 84. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:22 | |
-85,000. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:26 | |
-85,000 for the first time. -85,000 for the second time. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:32 | |
-85,000 for the third and last time. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:35 | |
-The old school sold -for an unexpectedly high 85,000. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:42 | |
-Who are the new owners -and what are their plans? | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
-Hiya, Nia. -This is Ruth from Dafydd Hardy. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:54 | |
-A few weeks have passed since Ruth -valued Nia's house in Llangefni... | 0:41:54 | 0:42:00 | |
-..but there's been -little interest in it. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:03 | |
-Ruth wants to discuss -the way forward. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:06 | |
-Just a quick call about the house. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:09 | |
-We've touched on this before. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:11 | |
-Unfortunately, we've had a -disappointing response to the house. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:16 | |
-I think we must look at -lowering the asking price. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:22 | |
-Ruth was hopeful -someone would make an offer... | 0:42:24 | 0:42:28 | |
-..at the asking price of 249,000. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:31 | |
-Lowering the asking price -makes a difference... | 0:42:32 | 0:42:35 | |
-..to the people who search -within a certain price bracket. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:39 | |
-When we have -a substantial price drop... | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
-..the phones start to ring again -and it attracts viewings. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:47 | |
-I really hope so. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:51 | |
-How do estate agents encourage -clients to lower their asking price? | 0:42:53 | 0:42:57 | |
-We persuade them by showing them -what else is on the market. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:03 | |
-We also try to work out -what their motivation is. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:06 | |
-Do they really -want to sell their property? | 0:43:06 | 0:43:10 | |
-Vendors are often willing -to lower the asking price. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
-With today's -sophisticated computers... | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
-..if you don't change something, -it gets stale. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
-Changing prices and photos -keeps it fresh online. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:25 | |
-At the end of the day... | 0:43:26 | 0:43:27 | |
-..the vendor owns the property, -so it's up to them. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:32 | |
-I'd suggest you lower the -asking price by at least 10,000... | 0:43:34 | 0:43:39 | |
-..if you want it -to have the right impact. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:42 | |
-I don't think 5,000 would make much -of a difference in that bracket. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:48 | |
-You must explain -why you're asking the question... | 0:43:48 | 0:43:52 | |
-..and show them what works. | 0:43:52 | 0:43:54 | |
-I would then show the vendor what -has sold after lowering the price... | 0:43:54 | 0:43:59 | |
-..and be honest with them. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:01 | |
-We tested the price and it didn't -attract the interest we'd hoped... | 0:44:01 | 0:44:06 | |
-..so we must -try to move things forward. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:09 | |
-Think about it, -discuss it and get back to me. | 0:44:11 | 0:44:16 | |
-I hope to hear from you by the -middle of next week at the latest. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:23 | |
-Alright? Lovely. -Thank you. Bye. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:29 | |
-In Nebo, Glyn Owens -is here to hand over the keys... | 0:44:32 | 0:44:36 | |
