0:02:17 > 0:02:19- When did your interest - in football start?
0:02:20 > 0:02:25- It was when I was young, growing up - a lot of the family played football.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- After school I'd play football - for my school, Ysgol Borth-y-Gest.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33- When I was seven...
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- ..I kept playing for Port - until I moved to the Bangor Academy.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Is that where someone - spotted you playing?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Then you moved to Everton.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Yes, it was really - gobsmacking for me.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- I joined the Bangor Academy - at eleven.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50- I was there for two years.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- I played at a tournament - in Shrewsbury.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- We played a game against Cardiff.
0:02:57 > 0:03:04- In that game, my Dad told me that - people wanted to speak to me.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- There were six scouts - from different clubs.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- After that, - Wrexham was one of those clubs.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- I decided to go to Wrexham first.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Obviously, it was closer for me...
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- ..I didn't want to step up too fast - so I went to Wrexham.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- I went to Wrexham - on a three-week trial.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- It was strange actually, - Everton had scouted me.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- But, my first game for Wrexham - on trial was against Everton.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- I scored twice in that game.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- The next day, - the Everton scout phoned my home.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- They said they didn't want to trial - me, they wanted to sign me straight.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- For me, one week I was playing - for Bangor Academy...
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- ..two weeks later, - I'd signed for Everton.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- I went home and told the family and - we were all rather gobsmacked.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- It was hard after that - because Dad obviously worked a lot.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I was still at Ysgol Eifionydd - in Porthmadog.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- I had to travel to Liverpool to - train three or four times a week.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I'd get changed at the school - changing rooms...
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- ..straight after school finished.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- I'd jump in the car with Dad, travel - for two hours to training...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- ..train for two hours and then drive - home straight.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- That went on for three years - until I turned 15.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Everton said training would get - intense...
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- ..and is basically six times a week.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35- That's when the family decided - that I should move up to Everton.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- I lived with a different family - in Everton...
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- ..and started school in Liverpool.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46- People think of footballers' lives - as being quite easy in a way...
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- ..because of all the attention - you get.
0:04:50 > 0:04:50- It isn't, is it?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- You have to sacrifice a lot - as you just mentioned.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55- Definitely.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Moving away from home was - the hardest thing for me...
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- ..when I was younger.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- I moved away when I was 14, 15 now.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- I had to start at a new school - in Liverpool.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- I had to make new friends.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09- It was a big step.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- It's one of the sacrifices you have - to make to make it to the top.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- I'm happy with what I did.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- You're at Barnsley now, - how does the loan system work?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- It's really good for young lads.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- If I want to play at the top level - for Everton's first team...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- ..I've got to impress on loan.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- One of my targets this season - was coming out on loan.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Barnsley, a Championship club - who're doing well...
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- ..called me and told me they wanted - me to come over in January.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45- I couldn't say no.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- I've really enjoyed my football - since coming here.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- You don't just play for a club, - you're the Wales U21 captain.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Do you enjoy that job?
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- Since I first played - for Wales at 15...
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- ..I've been captain - and gone from 16s to 17s to 19s.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- I've never expected to be captain.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- I've gone to those camps - and worked hard.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- The manager has made me captain - in the age groups.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- It's all a bit overwhelming.
0:06:18 > 0:06:25- I phoned Dad to tell them straight - away, everyone's quite overwhelmed.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- I've played a lot of games - for Wales...
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- ..and travelled to - a lot of different places.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36- I've had phone calls to play - for Australia. I was born there.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- I was only there when I was younger - while Mum and Dad lived there.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- All my family is Welsh.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Playing for Wales - makes me really proud.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- It looks a special stadium.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Can we take a look - at the facilities?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Do you get a chance to go home?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- I've been home once - since I came here.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- It's a lot of travelling for me.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- I've got to stay up here and - concentrate on the football.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- There are two months left - of the season.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- I just need to stay here - and concentrate.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- I can go home - when I have more than one day off.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Here we are, - the all important changing room.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- You can feel the nerves - and adrenaline here.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- On a match day - there are a lot of nerves here.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- This is where everything happens.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- In training, there are a lot of - laughs in here.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- That's where I sit every day.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- That's my spot - in the changing rooms.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44- If these walls could talk.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- I can see over there on the wall, - you've got a protocol.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Yes, we've got a pre training prep - they want us to do every day.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- The staff don't keep track of that, - we do it ourselves.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- They say we should have 25 points - before every training session.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09- That's a bike for ten minutes, - a coffee if we feel tired.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- I also notice you were carrying - the GPS and heart-rate monitors.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Yes, we have a GPS - and we have our own number.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- We pick those up - before every training session.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- How does that work?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- GPS says how much we run - in a training session.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- It tells us how fast we run, - the top speed.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- There's a lot of running - to do in a game.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Some people run 10.5k-11k - it depends how hard the game is.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Everyone's positions are different.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Everyone runs differently.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50- It's good if we think we're tired, - it'll show in the stats on Monday.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- If you've done 12k, they'll look - after you in training then.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- You won't need to do as much because - your legs are tired.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Over here, Gethin, - your all important seat.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Jones.
0:09:04 > 0:09:10- I know a lot of footballers have a - particular routine before the match.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- I'm not like that at all.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Usually, the day before the match - I'm quite nervous.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- I just concentrate on the game.
0:09:18 > 0:09:24- I don't think about stupid things - like putting my right boot on first.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- No special pants?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- I concentrate on the game, - getting myself ready and relaxing.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- I relax as much as possible and - minimise the stress and then play.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- This is the physio room.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- There are five beds in here. - Is it a busy room?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- It can be busy at times.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- The lads come in for rubs.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- I try to stay out of here - as much as I can.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- If I feel stiff, I'll get a rub - for whatever feels stiff.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- You've had quite a serious injury.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Yes, I broke four metatarsals - in my foot.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- I was gutted because I came from the - game and I knew I had a problem.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- I came off the field - and went for an X-ray.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- They told me four metatarsals.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- None of the physios at Everton had - heard of that many breaks before.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- I was out for a long time.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- I was lucky - because I didn't need an operation.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- There's nothing you can do about - your foot.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- It was just self healing. - I was out for five to six months.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- It's hard because with the diet, you - have to watch what you eat more so.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- You're not doing any running.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- There's a big chance - of putting weight on.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- I had to concentrate on all that.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- How much emphasis - is on your diet as a footballer?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- There's a lot of emphasis.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- We run a lot every day.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- There are a lot - of different positions.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- We've all got our weight - that we try to stick to.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- Everyday we're weighed - when we arrive and after training.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- It shows us how much weight - we've lost...
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- ..and how much water we need - to drink because we're dehydrated.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14- How much do you lose in a match?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15- How much do you lose in a match?- - Around two kilograms.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17- As much as that?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Yes, there's a lot of running. - It shows how much running we do.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- This is the journey you take - almost every Saturday.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Here we are out on the pitch.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- The atmosphere is really good here - on a match day.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Everyone looks forward to the games.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47- When I walked out for my first game - against Leeds, it was a full house.
0:11:47 > 0:11:53- I went from playing for Everton's - U23 team to playing here in a week.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- The fans are like a 12th man. - They help you through the game.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- Particularly if we do well, - it's a good day.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03- How do you feel running out?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Are you nervous - or does the adrenaline flow?
0:12:06 > 0:12:11- The adrenaline gets you through. - I'm nervous in the changing room.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- Once I get a pass out and I'm happy - with the pass, the nerves disappear.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- Gethin, what about - the long-term future?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- I just want to do my best - and improve every day.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- I'd like to play at the highest - level I can.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Getting a cap for Wales...
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- ..and playing for Wales - would make me really proud.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38- We'll be there supporting you.

0:15:43 > 0:15:48- This might come as a surprise, but - I'm a former netball player myself.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49- Oh, nice.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- Not that I always followed them, - but I'm aware of the strict rules.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01- Rules about - where you can and can't go.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- It can be a physical game too.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- People think it's non contact.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- Tell that to the players. You finish - a match with bruises everywhere.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14- I remember quite well.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- There's a rule that if someone hits - you it's a contact.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- You get a penalty pass or shot.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26- Even though the officials - are very good, they do miss things.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- Which position do you play? - How do the rules affect you?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- I play Goal Attack and Goal Shooter. - I shoot for goal.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- All the pressure.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- You can only be in some parts - of the court.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Obviously, - I can go to the shooting end.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Nobody else is allowed - in the circle.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51- We're the only ones in the circle.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- We're the only ones in the circle.- - Only two of you in the circle.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- Obviously, the defence - from the other team can mark us.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03- I like the amount of skills - that are applicable to football too.
0:17:04 > 0:17:10- You get marked quite tightly - and in tight spaces.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- You've got to try - to make space with them...
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- ..and time your run to get the ball.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- You've got to get away - from the person marking you.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- There's a crossover there - for games like football.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- That's why we train so much because - someone's on you all the time.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- We've got to have - a get out of jail card.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- Change direction, roll, dodge, - we have to do everything, really.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- You've got a person - on you all the time.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44- Netball is the most popular team - sport for women in Wales.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49- In terms of popularity it's getting - bigger and bigger.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- There's a lot to do but it is going - in the right direction.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- You've just got to look at the games - against New Zealand.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57- I was there.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- I was there.- - It was an incredible game.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- It was supposed to be - at the Wales Institute of Sport...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- ..which holds 500 people.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- It was moved to where the Cardiff - Devils play and it was full.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Over 3,000 people.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- Let's take some shots.- - You'll have to show your skills.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- You can show me how it's done.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- You can go first - and show me how it's done.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- Oh, it's like that, is it?
0:18:27 > 0:18:28- Gosh.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29- 1-1.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- 1-1.- - That was good.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35- You're a coach as well.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41- Cardiff Met have a team - for primary school children.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- That's for years three to six.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- They only train for an hour a week.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- It's nice to train little kids.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- They don't understand things - so you have to simplify them.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- What do you emphasize - when you're with them?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- They all want the ball - so they run to the ball.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- When we're doing positions...
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- ..we try to explain - where you're supposed to be.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- I like teaching them to shoot.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- Their posts are lower, - so I like to teach them that.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- There's a saying from a famous - basketball coach in America...
0:19:18 > 0:19:23- ..players don't care what you know - until they know that you care.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24- Yeah, definitely.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- You can have all the information.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- The important thing to start - with is the relationship...
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- ..between the coach and player.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36- Go on!
0:19:36 > 0:19:37- Go on!- - Oh, gosh.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39- Oh, yes!
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Chloe trains - four or five times a week.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- She has incredible facilities - available to her.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- Do you spend a lot of time here, - Chloe?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Yes, I sweat a lot in here, - it's not a nice time.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- How often do you come in?
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- We do two strength sessions - with weights a week.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- We do three cardio sessions.

0:20:25 > 0:20:30- I spent a lot of time in here, we - had a tournament four months later.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- I really wanted to be back for that.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- I had to work really hard to make it - back for that.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- You're studying for a degree - in sports science.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Does the scientific side - help you with netball?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Does the netball - help with your course?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- In some aspects, yes.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- With some of the work we do - in physiology...
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- ..I can see the practical - implications.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- I understand it better - and can link it to my sport.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- I find that easier, I think.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- I knew things - about energy systems before.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- The Welsh team have a nutritionist.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- That's helped a lot with my studies.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Chloe spends a lot of her time...

0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Good luck.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- When you play in these big - competitions, do you get nervous.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- In a tournament, I can be.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Particularly if the game - is very close.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- I've had loads of help from - a psychologist at Cardiff Met.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- He does a lot of work with us - preparing for games.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- He's with us most of the time before - games...
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- ..getting us in the right mind-set.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- Within the squad, - competition for places is important.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09- There are other girls - competing for your spot in the side.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Does that affect team spirit?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- I've been really lucky, - every team I've been a part of...
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- ..the girls have been really close.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21- We are competing for places.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- When we train we push each other...
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- ..because we want the best team - on the court.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- We want everyone to do well. We push - each other and we're still close.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- We're friends, - we don't just play together.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- The girls are all friends.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- There's good camaraderie.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- Competition is healthy if everyone - has the right spirit and respect.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Together stronger is the secret.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- That's what football says. - We're trying to take it from them.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- It's been a pleasure - spending time with you today.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55- Thanks for coming over.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Thanks for coming over.- - You're welcome. My pleasure.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Next time, I'll be surfing - the North Wales mountains...
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- ..with Emily Williams from Newport.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- I'll be meeting the gymnast, - Jac Davies, from Carmarthen.

0:24:28 > 0:24:28- Subtitles
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- Thousands of homes are put - on the market every year in Wales.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Most of us use an estate agent...
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- ..to help us get the right price - from the right buyer.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Ruth Tottey, who works - for the Dafydd Hardy agency...
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- ..enjoys finding the perfect place - for buyers.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04- In Llangefni, Ruth is on her way - to show a prospective buyer...
0:25:04 > 0:25:09- ..a two-bedroom terraced house - on the outskirts of the village.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14- It's a viewing for a lady who's - only just started house-hunting.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- She wants to live in Llangefni...
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- ..so we suggested - she should view this small house.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25- She wants something with character - and that can be hard to find.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- There are very few stone houses - in the town.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- Judging by her requirements, - this seems ideal for her, on paper.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38- I hope she won't be disappointed - when she sees it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- The house is on the market - for just under 110,000.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Hi, Nest. How are you?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- This is a brochure for you.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48- This is a brochure for you.- - Lovely. Thank you.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- Come inside.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- Ruth hopes this is the ideal place - for her buyer.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- We'll start in the dining room.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03- It's nice that they've preserved - the house's character.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06- This is the kitchen.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08- It's nice and light.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Feel free to open cabinets - and see what's what.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- You've also got some cobwebs - as an extra!
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- The floor is lovely, isn't it?
0:26:19 > 0:26:20- The floor is lovely, isn't it?- - Yes.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- This house is full of character.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24- Yes. It's very nice.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Come through to the lounge.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- These doors are nice.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32- They've been treated.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- They've been treated.- - Yes, they've been stripped.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- I can imagine a wood burner there.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- I can imagine a wood burner there.- - It would be nice and cosy.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Who likes the house more - - Ruth or Nest?
0:26:43 > 0:26:44- This is the main bedroom.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- This is the main bedroom.- - It's quite big.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Yes, and it's nice and light.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- The second bedroom is small, - but it's still very light.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Yes, and it looks onto the garden.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- So far, so good.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02- So far, so good.- - Yes, indeed.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- That's what I like to hear.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- It seems promising, - but what about the exterior?
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- You can see - half of Llangefni from here.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- I like this open feel.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- I like this open feel.- - Yes, it's nice.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Do you like the house, Nest?
0:27:18 > 0:27:19- Do you like the house, Nest?- - Yes. I'm very fond of it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21- Have you viewed many properties?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- Have you viewed many properties?- - No, this is my first viewing.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28- I saw it from the outside and - I knew I had to see the interior.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Thank you, Nest.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- Can I keep this?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Can I keep this?- - Yes. Have another copy too.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38- Thank you.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- I'll phone you tomorrow.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42- I'll phone you tomorrow.- - Thank you.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- You know where I am if you need me.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47- It went quite well.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Nest liked the character - of the house.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- She imagined - where her furniture would go.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00- Things like that are positive signs.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05- Ruth tells me that her company - offers a mortgage broker service...
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- ..so I'll make an appointment - with them...
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- ..to find out where I stand - in that respect.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14- Fingers crossed.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- Marc Morrish - is an enthusiastic auctioneer...
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- ..who works in Cardiff - for Seel & Co.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- More and more empty chapels - are being sold in Wales.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43- Marc has travelled to the Valleys - to Bethel Chapel, Maesycymmer...
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- ..which will be sold at auction - in a few weeks.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52- This is Bethel Chapel, and - the building needs a lot of work.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57- But it has great potential to be - developed into a house or flats.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- It could even - be used as a chapel again.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- It goes to auction - with a guide price of 70,000.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- As you can see, there's damp here.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14- The central heating hasn't been - switched on for a long time...
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- ..and there may not even be - a damp-proof course in these walls.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- The pointing - may not be up to scratch either.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- There are problems - throughout the building.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- These polystyrene ceiling tiles - are a fire hazard.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- The chapel needs renovation but the - vestry is an even bigger challenge.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- There's water coming through - the roof in the vestry area.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- This needs even more work - than the chapel itself.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- There's a small kitchen here - which needs updating.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54- Bethel Chapel is an ambitious - renovation project for someone.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58- Would the effort and costs - pay dividends in the long run?
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- You'd need to spend - a lot of money on it...
0:30:01 > 0:30:07- ..but, if you look at it - in terms of a three bedroom house...
0:30:08 > 0:30:13- ..its value on the open market - would be around 250,000.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18- Chapels are always popular with - developers and homeowners alike.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- They just need money - to carry out the work.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- I hope a few people do turn up today - to view the chapel.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- We've had several enquiries, - so we'll see.
0:30:29 > 0:30:35- Today will help Marc assess the - level of interest in the auction.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40- It doesn't seem too promising - but it's a waiting game for Marc.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Very few people turned up today.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48- Since people voted - to come out of the EU...
0:30:48 > 0:30:54- ..things have gone quiet - on the development front.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- But we only need two bidders - for any property.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- Let's hope the auction - is the answer to Marc's prayers.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- In Aberystwyth, Iestyn Leyshon - of Lloyd Herbert & Jones...
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- ..loves nothing more than - selling houses in rural Wales.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Today, Iestyn returns to - a three-bedroom house in Llanilar...
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- ..to revalue the property.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- An offer - was accepted on this house...
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- ..but when the survey came back, - the sale fell through.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- One of the reasons - was that it needs a new roof.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36- We lost those buyers...
0:31:36 > 0:31:41- ..but the vendor has since had - a new roof and new flashings done.
0:31:41 > 0:31:47- I'm here to take a look at that work - and to take new photos.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48- Come in.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53- Before the survey was done...
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- ..Iestyn had valued the property - at just under 125,000.
0:31:57 > 0:32:03- Now that the roof is fixed, Iestyn - is confident the price won't change.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- This house - has a lot of its original features.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- It's great - to have a bay window.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- It lets a lot of light - into a small room like this.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- A cast iron fireplace - with a timber mantel.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- Buyers love features like this - in old houses.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- It has two double bedrooms.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28- This is a good size.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- This is slightly bigger - than the front bedroom...
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- ..so I'd call this the master.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- This is the business end.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- This is a fairly modern kitchen.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47- This extension was probably built - in the 1980s or thereabouts.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49- In an old house like this...
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- ..the original kitchen - would have been in the basement.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- Down in the cellar, - the front wall is backed by earth...
0:32:59 > 0:33:04- ..and the back - opens out onto the garden.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- This is a good-sized garden.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12- It goes down to the river - which runs through the village.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- The level of the river - is lower than the garden...
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- ..but people - do worry about flooding.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- Let's hope there are no floods - and the property sells.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Buying houses can be stressful...
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- ..but what's the hardest thing - about selling houses?
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- People being disappointed - when they read a survey...
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- ..or they fail to get a mortgage.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49- People's chains being broken - and their sale falling through.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- I've sold houses - which had rodent problems.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- I've got a number to call...
0:33:56 > 0:34:02- ..if the vendor wants to get - someone in quickly to deal with it.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- Stressful? It isn't stressful.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- I sell over 100 properties a year - and look at me!
0:34:12 > 0:34:17- In Cardiff, Marc is in - the desirable Pontcanna area...
0:34:17 > 0:34:21- ..to show potential buyers - around a terraced house...
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- ..which is currently divided - into six flats.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Come on through - and I'll show you around.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- I'm showing the property - to people...
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- ..to see if they're interested - in bidding at the auction.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40- We've got a one-bedroom - ground floor flat here.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- Many of the viewers want to - convert it back into a house.
0:34:46 > 0:34:52- Others want to refurbish the flats - then sell them...
0:34:52 > 0:34:57- ..or to refurbish them - and then rent them out.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05- Buyers at an auction are usually - looking for a bargain or a project.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10- Marc underlines the potential of the - property in order to secure a sale.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- This house has great potential, - and it's a really popular area.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- The house next door but one...
0:35:19 > 0:35:23- ..was sold for 540,000 - last September.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- The guide price on this property - is 310,000.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31- You'd need to spend around 100,000 - to convert it back into one house...
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- ..but it has huge potential.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40- If it will cost at least 400,000 - to turn it back into a house...
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- ..is that potential enough to - attract bidders at the auction?
0:35:46 > 0:35:46- .
0:35:54 > 0:35:54- Subtitles
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:36:00 > 0:36:05- Selling a house - can be very stressful...
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- ..and unexpected problems can arise.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15- Iestyn has returned - to the cottage in Llanilar...
0:36:15 > 0:36:20- ..to do some detective work, after - a second survey uncovered a problem.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- An offer 5,000 below - the asking price was accepted.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Everyone was happy, - but the surveyor found a problem.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- Not the house, - but Japanese knotweed.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35- They say it's on the riverbank - behind the house.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39- Let's see if we can spot - this Japanese knotweed...
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- ..that's caused the fuss.
0:36:42 > 0:36:48- Japanese knotweed can cause - serious damage to properties.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- It costs - up to 4,000 to get rid of it.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Iestyn wants to know - how close it is to the house.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00- Reaching the river is a problem, - but a neighbour is on hand to help.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Call me David Attenborough!
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- There it is. That's the stuff.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- I've got something on my fingers!
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- Anyway, it's on another plot.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- It isn't on the land - of the house we're selling.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- I'm in the jungle - with rare specimens.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18- The estate agent.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- Will you put it in the paper?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- Will you put it in the paper?- - No, there's nothing wrong.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- They said it may be - behind the house we're selling...
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- ..but it's far enough away.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- But Iestyn hasn't managed - to reassure Olivia.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Watch your step! - I can see stinging nettles.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- There was none - where I expected to see it...
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- ..but there is some downstream.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45- Oh, alright.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47- Be careful now, Olivia.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49- Will it rain today?
0:37:49 > 0:37:50- Will it rain today?- - I hope not.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- Olivia may be happy, - but what about the mortgage company?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- We'll get a specialist company...
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- ..to carry out an assessment survey - to see how bad it is.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- You treat it by cutting it down - and leaving a foot of growth.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- You then inject poison into it...
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- ..and keep treating it - for three to five years.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- Every stalk must be treated.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- The other method is to pull it out - and take it to a specialist dump.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- You're better off - leaving it where it is.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- Never strim it. - Just get these boys in to treat it.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- Here's hoping there's no need - to get those boys in...
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- ..so that Iestyn - can complete the sale.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- There isn't much there.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- I'm sure the mortgage company - will be fine.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- David Attenborough reporting. Out!
0:38:49 > 0:38:54- How big a problem is Japanese - knotweed to our other estate agents?
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- I think banks and building societies - make a big deal about it...
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- ..because they don't want - to lend money at the moment.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- It's a pain.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- It's a nuisance at the moment.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- It comes up in every survey...
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- ..but Japanese knotweed - has been in gardens for years.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27- In the Swansea Valley, Carys Davies, - the owner of Perfect Pads...
0:39:27 > 0:39:29- ..enjoys selling houses.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- Carys is in Clydach...
0:39:35 > 0:39:40- ..to show a traditional house - to a potential buyer.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44- It's very reasonably priced, - at under 80,000.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- Carys is hoping for a quick sale.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51- It's a traditional, - two bedroom end terrace.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- It's on at just under 80,000.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- There's no parking, - but the garden is quite big.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- One ground floor reception room, - as you can see.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05- It was two rooms originally, - but it's been knocked through.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11- The back door, with access - to the garden, is off the kitchen...
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- ..and it has - a ground floor bathroom.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19- My client is downsizing and this is - her first viewing of this property.
0:40:20 > 0:40:26- This is a compact house, - so can Carys sell its plus points?
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- What's nice - is it's all very open-plan.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35- Carys hits the ground running, - suggesting possible alterations.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- You could put a breakfast bar there.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41- Downstairs bathroom...
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- ..which is typical of - the traditional terraced property.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49- Fully-tiled, which is a bonus, - and a shower over the bath.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- Very pleasing to the eye.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- That's the ground floor done...
0:40:55 > 0:40:59- ..but will the first floor - suit Tracy?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- You get a feeling - when they enter the property.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- You can tell whether or not - they like the house.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- I'm not sure with this client.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13- There may be a bit too much work - to be done here for her...
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- ..even though - it's a lovely-looking house.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20- Plasterboard. You wouldn't think so, - with these walls.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25- Carys has to work hard - to emphasize the house's potential.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Tracy is playing her cards - close to her chest.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31- You could easily extend.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- The garden's a large size. - There is potential.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37- What do you think?
0:41:38 > 0:41:42- You could move into it as it is, but - there's a lot I'd want to do to it.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45- The bathroom downstairs.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- I'd have a look - if I could put it upstairs.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- There's too much work for me - on this property.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- Tracy won't buy this house...
0:41:54 > 0:41:59- ..but Carys is keen - to find her a perfect home.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- Nice to meet you. Here's my card.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07- Based on what you've said, I have - some properties that may suit you.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08- I'll email you.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12- She has no intention - of losing this client.
0:42:12 > 0:42:18- We're firm believers in matching - clients to properties on our books.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20- If this isn't for her...
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- ..she may like - one of our other properties.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- I'll email details of some - of our other properties to her.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- The key thing is to stay in touch.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41- With only a few days to go - until the auction...
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- ..Marc has seen interest grow, - especially in the Cathays district.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- I've got three properties - in the auction.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- This one, 8 Monthermer Road, - 12 Monthermer Road...
0:42:54 > 0:42:58- ..and a property around the corner, - 49 Daniel Street.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02- They're all within throwing distance - of each other.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- There's been a lot of interest - in the three houses.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- A modern kitchen - with room for a small table.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- It's hard because - there are lots of viewings...
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- ..and people - want to see all three properties.
0:43:17 > 0:43:18- Number 8 is open.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- You can look at Monthermer.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26- This is ideal for an owner-occupier - to do some work on it.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30- Crwys Road is nearby - and town is a 20-minute walk away.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- It will be very popular. - The guide price is 135,000.
0:43:34 > 0:43:38- On the resale market, - you're talking 200,000.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44- There's a separate - rental opportunity with the salon.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- It's lovely. You'd be happy - being pampered in here.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52- It could be converted - into four flats.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55- Two on the ground floor - and two upstairs.
0:43:57 > 0:44:02- A lot of people turned up today, - so I'm very busy.
0:44:03 > 0:44:08- It takes more than one Marc Morrish - to show everyone around.
0:44:12 > 0:44:18- A week after Ruth showed Nest - the terraced house in Llangefni...
0:44:18 > 0:44:22- ..Nest had an offer at just below - the asking price accepted.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- All Nest needs now is a mortgage.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30- I heard from the broker earlier on.
0:44:30 > 0:44:36- Nest's mortgage has been approved, - and the survey is fine.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38- So full steam ahead with that one.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43- Hiya, Nest. It's Ruth here - from Dafydd Hardy, Llangefni.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46- I've got some good news for you.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49- We've received your mortgage offer.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52- Your broker called to let me know.
0:44:53 > 0:44:54- Fantastic.

0:45:03 > 0:45:06- I love this part of the job.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10- We know that the keys - will be handed over soon.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11- That's good.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18- Back in Cathays...
0:45:18 > 0:45:22- ..Marc is still showing potential - buyers around three properties.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26- This is the house I told you about.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36- Market value, 125 to 130.
0:45:36 > 0:45:37- And not as much work needs doing?
0:45:37 > 0:45:38- And not as much work needs doing?- - No. Come in.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42- I'm looking for a house for my son.

0:45:47 > 0:45:51- He can't be here today because - he's travelling around Europe.
0:45:52 > 0:45:56- I hope we see - something we like today.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58- There is no gas supply.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03- Nia has bought at auction before.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06- I bought my first house - at auction.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10- I went to the auction - with my father-in-law.
0:46:10 > 0:46:15- We lived in that house for 15 years - and raised our children there.
0:46:15 > 0:46:16- I've got three boys.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20- Nia may be house-hunting - for her son...
0:46:21 > 0:46:24- ..but she also - takes a look at the salon.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28- This is a former salon - with a studio flat at the rear.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30- Oh! I can get my hair done.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32- Oh! I can get my hair done.- - Yes. Take a seat, madam.
0:46:33 > 0:46:39- Unfortunately, the houses I've seen - this morning need a lot of work...
0:46:39 > 0:46:43- ..so I doubt - we'll attend the auction on Tuesday.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45- Nia won't be at the auction...
0:46:46 > 0:46:49- ..but how hopeful is Marc - about the day?
0:46:49 > 0:46:51- I've been really busy.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53- Lots of people turned up...
0:46:53 > 0:46:57- ..and I've been running - from one building to the next.
0:46:57 > 0:47:02- I'm over the moon with the - number of people who turned up...
0:47:02 > 0:47:04- ..to view the properties.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06- Let's see what happens on Tuesday.
0:47:13 > 0:47:19- Marc has work to do before - he sells the properties at auction.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23- Sold - - my favourite part of the job.
