0:00:02 > 0:00:03MUSIC: "Charlie's Angels theme"
0:00:03 > 0:00:08Once upon a time, there were two beautiful girls who wanted to work in property.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12And, they were assigned very hazardous duties
0:00:12 > 0:00:16but I took them away from all of that and now they work with me.
0:00:16 > 0:00:22My name is Ed Hall and this is To Buy Or Not To Buy.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38PHONE RINGS
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- Hello.- 'It's Ed, Angel. Time to go to work.'- OK.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49PHONE RINGS
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- Hello.- 'It's Ed, Angel. Time to go to work.'
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Ah...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- 'Hello, Angels.'- Hi, Eduardo.
0:01:14 > 0:01:20'Now, listen up, Angels. I have a very important To Buy Or Not To Buy assignment for you today.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25'First things first, you need to get on a train up to Nottingham where you'll meet with today's buyers.'
0:01:25 > 0:01:27So, what are they looking for, Ed?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29'They have lots of requirements,
0:01:29 > 0:01:34'so I want you to waste no time at all in finding them three suitable properties.'
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- We'll do it, Ed. - 'Good, good, Angels.'
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- 'Oh, and don't forget.'- What, Ed?
0:01:39 > 0:01:44'Don't you dare forget to let them try one before they buy one.'
0:01:44 > 0:01:46We won't, Ed.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Shall we take him with us, Angel?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50With pleasure.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Coming up on To Buy Or Not To Buy.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Today's house hunters don't mince their words.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- That is one ugly building.- Owww!
0:01:58 > 0:02:02U-G-L-Y, ugly.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04'Guess the price gets personal.'
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Loser!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08'And a truly stunning wildcard.'
0:02:08 > 0:02:10No way! I'm in shock.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14This is quite possibly the best wildcard I've ever seen in my life!
0:02:14 > 0:02:17So, Angel, let's get the low down on today's buyers.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Yes, Jo and Tony Purdy.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Ed's confidential notes reveal, they've been together 14 years,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25nine of which they've spent married.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29And since tying the knot they've wasted no time in creating their own little team of Angels
0:02:29 > 0:02:35and have not one, not two, but three sons to carry forward the Purdy name.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Don't you start getting broody on me.- I won't!
0:02:37 > 0:02:42As you can imagine, they've got their hands full so they want to move closer to Jo's parents,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45where two pairs of helping hands are always on standby.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Tony and Jo... Jo, you're not actually just looking for a property
0:02:52 > 0:02:55to be closer to your parents, are you, in this area?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- There are other reasons too. - Well we've been in our property now for about 12 or 13 years,
0:02:59 > 0:03:03after having three children, our needs have changed.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07We'd like a separate area for the children to play in.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10A nice garden space where the house overlooks the garden
0:03:10 > 0:03:15so we can see the children in the garden without having to be out there with them all the time.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Currently we've not got a drive, so we want a drive for the car.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24Now, you said you want to move closer to Jo's parents, is that because Jo's parents are better with the kids?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- What about your parents, Tony? - Oh, horrible!
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- Jo's parents are retired.- Right. - So, they've got time on their hands.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- I'm a self-employed contractor.- OK.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36So, it's wherever the work takes me, you know.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Down London, Scotland, wherever.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- So you can be away a lot.- I can be away three months, six months.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43How many bedrooms do you want?
0:03:43 > 0:03:51Ideally, four. We've kind of got five now but we use one as a dressing room for all our clothes.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56We would compromise on less bedrooms if there were room to
0:03:56 > 0:03:58go into the loft or an extension.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01An extension, but it would have to be under budget.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Are you happy to go for a modern house or do you want something with period features?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Don't like the modern house as much.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14- Right.- I know Jo's coerced me a little bit to looking at them
0:04:14 > 0:04:16and bringing them into the equation.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21With that in mind, are you willing to look at modern?
0:04:21 > 0:04:22- Willing.- Mmm.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28My only reservation is, not so much the house, but where it is.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- OK.- You tend to find the new houses are on vast rabbit-warren estates.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- So, you don't want an estate? - Oh, no!
0:04:35 > 0:04:41But if it's a nice, little estate with perhaps a newer house in a cul-de-sac or...
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Where it's not so overlooked and surrounded by other houses
0:04:46 > 0:04:49because you can get them in locations like that.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51The garden space is really important.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Right.- What I don't like is if you walk out into your back garden
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and you've got Fred next door looking out of his window
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and seeing what you're up to.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04So, you said you want to be near your mum, do you want to be in a villagy kind of place...
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- we're outside of Nottingham now, so you're not in the centre. - Village life would be nice.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14A community as well, with the post office and things that you usually find in that kind of community.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Do you have any work that you need to consider, Jo, that you're going to be doing?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Well, I'm a child minder.
0:05:19 > 0:05:27We've got a big log cabin currently at the bottom of the garden which I do use...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Rani's thinking of signing up her little boy. - Yeah, I'll bring him along for you.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Should we not be thinking of something like that for this new property?
0:05:34 > 0:05:41Well if the garden's big enough then that's something we'd possibly add at a later date, so we need
0:05:41 > 0:05:48a big-sized garden, but if we've also got the extra playroom, then that could be used for that as well.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52So the big question, then, what's your budget?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56OK... After careful consideration...
0:05:56 > 0:06:03- Full stretch... - Probably 250 with a view to maybe doing a bit of haggling.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- We couldn't do any work with that. - 250 would have to be the perfect property?- Yes.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09For the rest of your lives.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Are you ready, Angel? - I think I'll be the devil.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- See you guys later.- OK, good luck.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Right then, Angel, I think I need a recap.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21OK, as Ed's operatives today, we need to find them a four-bedroomed house.
0:06:21 > 0:06:27- OK.- Possibly period, garden can't be overlooked, definitely not on an estate.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29That's what Tony wanted, Jo said she wouldn't mind
0:06:29 > 0:06:32like an estate, or a close and she wouldn't mind modern.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36We really do have our work cut out for us. I'm going to meet the estate agents...
0:06:36 > 0:06:39While I'm going to meet the people of north Nottingham.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48So, Angel, Ed's confidential notes on this case tell us that Nottinghamshire covers just under
0:06:48 > 0:06:54850 square miles and Nottingham itself is one of the government's eight core cities.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59But, of course, our property scope today goes beyond Nottingham and reaches to the smaller towns
0:06:59 > 0:07:05of Derbyshire, including the towns of Alfreton, Ripley and Sutton-in-Ashfield.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06And talking of Sutton-in-Ashfield.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Er, yes.- It only has the largest sun dial in Europe.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Wow! - That's almost as big as your hair!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Hey, cheeky! But I can outdo that, Nikki,
0:07:15 > 0:07:20because just down the road is the only six-sail windmill in the UK.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Nice work, Angel.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27And with the M1 corridor as the spine throughout our search area, it's the perfect location getaway.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31if you'd like an Angel to watch over you, then how about one of these three houses?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Close to the Angel Of The North in Newcastle
0:07:34 > 0:07:39is this four-bed semi-detached property with a huge 19-foot kitchen,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41spacious dining room and well-established garden
0:07:41 > 0:07:44on the market for £249,950.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Down south now in Islington, close by to Angel tube station
0:07:48 > 0:07:49is this one-bedroom flat.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52It maybe bijou but it's perfectly formed
0:07:52 > 0:07:55and even has its own private south-facing patio.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58On the market for 250 grand.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02And finally we have this immaculate four-bed terrace house
0:08:02 > 0:08:05in close proximity to Angel Road in Halifax.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Original features, a beautiful kitchen/diner and stunning garden,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11offers invited around £245,000.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13This is a tough mission, you know.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I need someone like him to help me find this property.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Look at that smile.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21So I've been asked to find a property for a couple.
0:08:21 > 0:08:27They want four bedrooms, a large garden, period property preferably,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30in a semi-rural location, with views if possible.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Our guy Tony really doesn't want to live on an estate.- Right.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36What's wrong with an estate?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38You brought your kids up there and it was good.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I thought it was good because there's lots of other children, obviously.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- This is what Jo wants!- Yeah. - Do you think it's a good thing?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Maybe I should look at an estate.
0:08:47 > 0:08:53For the money, and certainly the 250 to fall below the second stamp duty criteria there,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I think we may have to explore some further villages
0:08:56 > 0:08:59such as say Loscoe, maybe Ripley,
0:08:59 > 0:09:04those surrounding areas you tend to get more property for your money.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09They want four bedrooms, they want a big living room, a huge garden, maybe a conservatory,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12maybe a playroom, a downstairs bathroom, an upstairs bathroom...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14They have a lot of money then, do they?
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Well, I think it's a lot of money, it's £250,000. Is that enough?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21So it isn't enough money then.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22We've got this one in Heage
0:09:22 > 0:09:26which is perhaps a little bit of compromise in terms of character,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29but it does have four bedrooms.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Double garage, and it's within budget.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Actually I'm looking for a house myself.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38What are you looking for? Hang on, let me just get the notebook out.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43I think we've got our work cut out for us, me and the mysterious property hunting team.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I think they've set their standards a little bit higher than
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- their budget allows, haven't they? - Maybe so.
0:09:54 > 0:10:01Property one, my choice, it's a bungalow, five bedrooms, huge garden and loads of car-parking space.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05My choice, it's another dormer bungalow four bedrooms,
0:10:05 > 0:10:11two bathrooms, a stunning set of views and an outside brick workshop.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- The wildcard.- It has the P factor.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Pebble dash.- No, potential. - Where shall we start, Angel?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Yours, Angel.- Brilliant.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I put my property investigating skills into overdrive today
0:10:28 > 0:10:32and I've come up with this amazing five-bedroom family home
0:10:32 > 0:10:35and the bonus is the grandparents are just down the road.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41- I've brought you to Sutton-in-Ashfield, do we know this area at all?- I know it.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I was born in Sutton-in-Ashfield. Born and bred.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- So I've brought you home, is that what you saying?- Yes.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49How far away are we from your mum?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51She's about a mile up the road.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Is that a good distance? - Yes, that a good distance.- No.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Stop it! You're going to be away all the time.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Now, for you, we're not far from the A38 so it means it's not a bad commute.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07Now no-one mentioned a bungalow so what is your first impressions of this property?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I don't rule them out because I know they have a lot of space, a lot of land.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I normally do rule them out.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- Right, why is that?- I just never fancied living in a bungalow.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20To me, I just like an upstairs and a downstairs.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25The good news is this one, it has got steps and it was converted about four years ago.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29It's all been completely renovated so you do have stairs
0:11:29 > 0:11:32but it does mean that some of the bedrooms are downstairs.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34You're in a nice and quiet close.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40Yes, the road is really nice but we can hear the A38 in the background.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46- I'm definitely curious. - OK, that's positive for me.- Yeah, OK.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Are you eager to get in and have a look?- I want to go.- Yes.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Go on, then. Enjoy.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56If we go into the garden, I'll just show you how quiet the A38 really is.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00I can hear it from here, not only that when they go into that hallway,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02is there enough room for a double buggy?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04If it's one of them that goes on top of each other.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12NIKKI IMITATES A CAR
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Don't you start, there's enough cars at the bottom of the garden.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17We're admitting it now then, are we?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Right, imagine coming in with all the kids.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Where's the dumping ground?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Yes, that's a good point.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Dump the coats, dump the shoes.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Where's the dumping ground?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Actually, if you just go past the kitchen there's a nice little area there.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39So it's very nice but not a huge amount of storage space in here.
0:12:39 > 0:12:46It's got your kitchen/diner, for entertainment purposes. That meets that requirement, doesn't it?
0:12:46 > 0:12:51It's a good kitchen for them to entertain when they have dinner parties.
0:12:53 > 0:12:59This is where the coats and shoes and everything would go, a good hard flooring, easy to clean.
0:12:59 > 0:13:06They you go, she's spotted it now, space for coats and hats and buggies and shoes and wellies and all sorts.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- This is a big space.- It is.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- You like fires like that, don't you? - I like fireplaces like that.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- They're liking the fireplace. - Is it a working one, though?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20It works but not like they're hoping it works because it's electric.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Let's have a look outside, then, what you can see of the garden from in here.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Wooden steps, so that's safe.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- It is a private garden, I like that. - There's that bit at the bottom as well,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37you could make that into a big play area, couldn't you, a barked play area with a big play frame.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39That's a good garden.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42That's not a good garden, that's a great garden.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44It's a great garden till you hear the A38.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- I can't hear it.- I can hear it. - I can't hear it.- I can hear it.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53OK, so this must be, it looks like the master bedroom.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Looking out onto the front.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59You've got the fitted wardrobes. I wonder if your big three wardrobe would fit in there.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04It's not going to, is it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08I don't fancy people looking off the street straight into me sleeping in bed.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'm not sure about sleeping on the ground floor either.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Cosy.
0:14:13 > 0:14:19- It's not too bad. It's as big as Jacob's bedroom now.- Yes.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24The only thing I'm thinking about is the entertainment area is there,
0:14:24 > 0:14:28their bedroom is here, how close they are.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- See where the bathroom is in comparison to the bedrooms as well.- Yes.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35This is perfect, they can have a few drinks in the kitchen, roll into bed
0:14:35 > 0:14:39and that's an upside of not having to go upstairs to go to bed.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41A good size again.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- I'm not keen on bathrooms downstairs though.- No, I'm not.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49But if your bedrooms are downstairs the bathroom's with the bedrooms, isn't it?
0:14:49 > 0:14:56I can't say I'm keen on it being so close to the dining area.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Interesting.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I didn't expect this.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It's definitely
0:15:04 > 0:15:08got features like the roof and stuff, I do like that.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12It's big enough to have as a small room, isn't it?
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Or could this be a dressing room?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Ah, yes.- But would your wardrobes fit in here, I'm not sure?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- No.- It would have to be a bedroom.- You wouldn't get no wardrobes in here.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25What they are asking for, for the money they've got to spend, it's a really hard call
0:15:25 > 0:15:29and this is the best that I and the mystery property hunting team could find.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Do you think maybe they have expected a little bit too much for their budget, then?
0:15:34 > 0:15:38If you're saying you wouldn't want to sleep downstairs and you slept upstairs...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40You're not going to fit wardrobes in.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- You're not going to get a great deal in here.- No.
0:15:42 > 0:15:48If I'm honest I can't see us, as a family unit, fitting in this building.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I think they've got unreal expectations
0:15:50 > 0:15:53and that makes me concerned about the property I've got to show them.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Whoa! I've still got to tell them how much this place costs!
0:16:01 > 0:16:06OK, it's time to be honest now. We were listening to you in the garden.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10It's like, "Yeah...yeah, this is maybe a bit small." Truthfully?
0:16:10 > 0:16:16- Truthfully, I was surprised at the property, it was bigger than I thought it would be.- Right.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19But it is too small for us.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22They've done it out really, really well. It's really nice.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27Just the layout and the practicality of the bedrooms, just don't work for us at all.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30On the whole a nice property, fantastic garden, come on.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33It is a nice garden. But it's got a sound effect.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Well, I put that there especially for you because I thought with you
0:16:37 > 0:16:40living on a busy road now you'd probably want to take that sound.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44The cars and the kids will be arguing as to who's the loudest.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46The cars, the kids, the cars, the kids...
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I like the fact that you said you'd be sitting out there relaxing.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53I thought, when do you get time to relax?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- Watching them play. - It's time to guess the price, who wants to go first?
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Ladies first.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Yeah, let me go first.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Jo...- It's a difficult one because I've never looked at bungalows.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08I've got no idea where them come on the price range.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12I would say about 239.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Tony...- Goodness, I was going to say something similar there.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I would say 245, I think.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21OK, 245, 239.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Are you guys competitive?- He is.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Yeah, I am.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29All right, well you're going to kick yourself now.
0:17:29 > 0:17:35Jo, you are the closest. This property is on the market for £235,000.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39You said your maximum budget was 250, so we've kept you below that.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Enough pennies there to do any extra work, if you wanted the conservatory,
0:17:43 > 0:17:49if you wanted the log cabin at the back, but with that price does it change your thoughts on the property?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Do you think, I want it now?- No.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- No.- You don't have to make up your minds, you've got two more properties to see.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56The next one is mine, are you ready?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Oh, yes please.- Right, let's go.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08This Angel's also done some good groundwork today when it comes to hitting the mark for Jo and Tony.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Another detached bungalow but unlike Rani's mine comes with those all-important views.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- So, Jo, Tony, do you know where we are in terms of the village right now?- No.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21This is Loscoe.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26So we are about half an hour away from your parents.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Is that still within workable distance for you, Jo?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Maybe a little bit far out.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I know we're on a road but you have got a driveway.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Yeah, a nice big drive.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38What's your first impression of this property?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40It looks nice, it's well presented.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44It's like an Austrian cottage.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I couldn't have put that better myself!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Hansel and Gretel this time, Austrian cottage.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54It doesn't look big from the outside so it'll be interesting to see.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I like that, it's got a window upstairs.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Does that excite you?- Yes, yes.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03But has it got many stairs, it doesn't look that high, Nikki?
0:19:03 > 0:19:08So what you're seeing here is actually a converted bungalow.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13What I might not have given you, you can always build yourselves. Does that sound cryptic?
0:19:13 > 0:19:17It means it hasn't got the space we're looking for.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Now then!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21There's no need to be so negative.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I think you will see massive potential to extend backwards.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Is there a restricted ceiling height upstairs?
0:19:27 > 0:19:32Why don't you go and have a look for yourself? Please go and be positive, people. Be positive.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- We shall.- Be honest, be honest.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39No A38 here, eh, Rani.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41No, but those birds are loud.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Oh, wow, look at the floor. - Great.- It's nice, isn't it?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Yeah, my cup of tea.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Right up our street that is, isn't it?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Yeah, I like that, a good entrance hall.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Oh, wow, we had a "wow".
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- We did.- Look at the floor, as in the tiles on the floor.
0:20:00 > 0:20:06This looks like we're going into the main room, it's open plan.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- Open-plan kitchen.- I like the feel of the room, it's really spacious.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15And light, you can see outside as well. Look at that view.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Oh yes, it's brilliant. - That is amazing.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22OK, they are a lot more upbeat in this property. They are saying "amazing".
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I'm just thinking
0:20:25 > 0:20:30what other rooms there is because this is a big, open space.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Keeping the kids out of the kitchen is going to be a big no-no,
0:20:34 > 0:20:38I'm not sure about the lounge being open plan.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43You don't want all the kitchen smells jumping onto your sofa.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46No. I would prefer to have a separate lounge.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Yeah. This would have to be a dining space, wouldn't it?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Yeah.- You can imagine having the table in the middle,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- you've got a lovely fireplace there. - That would work.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Oh, they have absolutely mentally moved in.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03Talking about what will work, "I love the fireplace..." "This could be... " Those are the words we like.
0:21:06 > 0:21:12- Wow, that is amazing.- Wow, you're not going to get a better view than that, really, are you?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15It's really nice. Wow!
0:21:15 > 0:21:16What do we do with this space?
0:21:16 > 0:21:22- If you look...- The only downside I can see is the big drop there, that's not child-friendly.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25No. Look how easy it is to an make an extension on this property.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29You could bring it out right up to this line.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Look at the neighbours. They come out quite far.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- We could come out to maybe there.- Yes.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40This one is currently being used as a bedroom.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Depending on what other space you've got upstairs, this could be a playroom.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48I perhaps would have liked something a bit bigger than this for a playroom.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50So here's the next room.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54This is bigger.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57You think that was too small for a playroom,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00is this a playroom or...
0:22:00 > 0:22:04This is bigger for a playroom, definitely not for a lounge.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Yes, that's kind of thrown me now because obviously
0:22:08 > 0:22:12we've got the lounge in there and we would look at doing a dining room.
0:22:12 > 0:22:18- Yes.- Do you think they're actually making this far more complicated by trying to make it their ideal home?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Oh.- Oh.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21A bathroom.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Oh, downstairs bathroom.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Don't do downstairs bathrooms.- No.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I'm not a fan.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33It all started off with "amazings" and a "stunning", did we have a "stunning"?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35And you also had a "wow" as they came through the door.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I did and now, it's going the other way.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43Oh, it's a shower room.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44It's not a bad space.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Not a bad space...
0:22:47 > 0:22:52The boys hate showers, so the boys would have to be bathed downstairs in that tiny bathroom.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54We're all negative again.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Right, this is the master bedroom.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Let's have a look. - That's not going to fit.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07You can get a... They've got a small wardrobe in here, haven't they?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11That's the thing, where would you put...?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Lots of drawers, no wardrobe space.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Shall we have a look out of the window at the view, we can't miss that lovely view.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Wow, that is nice to wake up in the morning to though.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29But they're missing a lounge room, a playroom, a utility room and a bathroom. This had better be cheap.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Look at the view.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Here they come, what did they think?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Ladies... Let's start with the view.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44You thought it was staggeringly beautiful.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46It is, it's a gorgeous view.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51- But that isn't enough, presumably, to persuade you to buy the house, as yet?- As yet.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- No.- So tell me the other things you loved?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57We loved the downstairs space, it's really nice.
0:23:57 > 0:24:03The house presented really well. The potential to add onto the property is very good.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04- I do like that.- Yeah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I don't think there's anything you could do
0:24:06 > 0:24:10to the upstairs space to get it to where we would need it to be.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13So right now you've got a five-bedroom house,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16with loads and loads of storage and wardrobe space
0:24:16 > 0:24:19and in a sense that's what's pulling you back
0:24:19 > 0:24:24- from considering anything like this because we can give you the bedroom space, yet.- Not yet.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- That is too small.- Right.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30We accept that but it is great views.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32How much would this place cost?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35OK, you said maximum budget £250,000.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38So far, Jo, well done you, you're in the lead.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42I would say 225.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- OK, Jo.- 229.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47OK, 229.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52OK, well, I can tell you that, yet again, you are closest to the price.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57So Mr Competitive, you have lost guess the price.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Loser.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03- Oh...- We don't know the actual price of the property yet!
0:25:03 > 0:25:09The actual price is 239,950.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13- You were £10,000 short. - That's an expensive view.
0:25:13 > 0:25:20OK, shall we look at the wildcard and see if that maybe fulfils some more of your needs.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Yeah.- Show us the wildcard.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Go that way then! After you.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Right, Angel, I'm not sure we've hit the property jackpot so far today
0:25:32 > 0:25:35so I'm hoping the wildcard will knock them off their feet.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Well, let's just hope the pebble dash exterior doesn't put the Purdys off
0:25:39 > 0:25:41from seeing the potential in this property
0:25:41 > 0:25:45because all it needs is some pennies spending on it and some TLC.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50It's the P for pennies that worries me in all this.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Right then Jo and Tony, welcome to the wildcard.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Before I say where we are, what's your first impressions. What do you think of this beauty?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01That is one ugly building.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03U-G-L-Y, ugly.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09Ugly from the outside, but we like to call it, something with potential.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- A project, maybe.- It's definitely wild. I give you that one.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Also, you know what, it's ugly from the outside without your touch.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20If you resurface the outside of that pebble dash,
0:26:20 > 0:26:25and you put old sash windows in, and a little bit of a garden out here.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27You're got a pretty frontage.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Wait till you get inside and see the back potential too.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35But location-wise we're in Codnor, which is near Ripley. Do you know this area at all?
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Not really well.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- We know where it is, but we don't really know it. - Close enough to your mum's?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Still a fair way out.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Too far or would you consider it? - It would depend on the property.
0:26:46 > 0:26:53All right, are you ready to go inside and use your imagination on how to make this your forever home?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Of course.- I cannot wait.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58All right, you guys go in there.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- Come on, babe, let's go. - Use your imagination, guys.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Oh, my goodness.- Wow.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Now that is a garden.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Wow!
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I want to buy this house now.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Don't tell me the garden goes all the way round there as well.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19It does.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22SHE GASPS
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Have you just seen... No.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30- No way, no way.- I can't speak. If that's part of this garden, I want to pass out.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- We'll have to see what the house is like. I think it's amazing.- Yeah.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36You know, I need to see the house.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- Yes. - I don't because I want it already.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Let's not get too excited too soon.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Shall we go and look at the house.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47I'm not going to be able to contain you with this.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- This is right up your street, isn't it?- Yes.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- This amount of garden. - I'm far too excited.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- Yeah.- Right, let's go.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Apparently Tony's renovation juices are really releasing right now.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02He has taken one look as he's come round the corner of here and...flowing.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05It definitely needs some updating.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Mm... Interesting.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- The first room.- Kitchen.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I'll change that door for starters.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13It needs ripping out.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I'm wonder if you can knock through to the utility.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- I'm thinking that already. Look at this.- Make it bigger.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- Take this out, you could open the space up.- You'd have to totally redesign it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27I think it's her renovation juices that are flowing, not Tony's!
0:28:27 > 0:28:33- This is a good-size room. You could knock this out and have a kitchen/diner at the front.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37I've already spotted a room there that you could potentially have as a lounge.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Imagine blocking this off and having that as a lounge.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- This is a big room.- Wow!
0:28:42 > 0:28:44That's a beauty.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48I don't know what to say. I'd actually keep that, you know.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50It's a good sized room, it's nice and square.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53It's got no nooks and crannies so you can get your furniture in.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Do you like that, "nice and square"? He doesn't want nooks and crannies.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59They asked for quirky!
0:28:59 > 0:29:02So, bedroom number one.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Built in wardrobes. - Wow, they are amazing.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09You could fit our bed in here, no problem.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12As far as space goes, it's a very usable space.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I'm just clocking up the pounds it would take to get...
0:29:15 > 0:29:17As we're going round.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19OK, Jo's the practical one, constantly calculating,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22"Can we afford this? This needs a lot of work."
0:29:22 > 0:29:25This is bedroom two. Oh, right, this is like a mirror.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28It is a mirror image of that bedroom, yeah.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Exactly the same, double bed again. Another double room.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37Right, OK, so this is, again, a double room.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Weird layout, obviously you've got bedrooms off bedrooms.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43You walk into this room, into that room, into the bathroom.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Am I a corridor wall?
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- Yeah, that would still make that a good sized bedroom.- Yeah. - If you did that.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54I tell you what, Rani, this is the most positive I've heard them all day.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59This as a bathroom space, imagine coming into here,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02knocking all this out, you're going to have a good-sized bathroom.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- As one big bathroom space, yeah. - Looking at it, that's a stud wall,
0:30:06 > 0:30:12so knocking this down and gutting the bathroom is not going to break the bank, is it?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Bathrooms don't take a lot, do they, to do.- No.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18It's just overall, how much.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22What kind of pennies are we talking about? How much will this house cost?
0:30:22 > 0:30:26I've clocked quite a few pennies up as I've walked around this house.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Girls, please make it be affordable!
0:30:31 > 0:30:37Now, what did you suddenly get potential for here that you didn't in our other properties?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- It's not a bungalow. - It's not a bungalow.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41It's just...obviously,
0:30:41 > 0:30:47the initial un-prettiness of the structure kind of set us back
0:30:47 > 0:30:53a moment, but the second we got to the side and saw all this, that was it. I'd bought it.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- It's going to cost.- Well, this is it, cos you kept reining Tony in.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Are you a bit more apprehensive about this place or is it just the budget thing?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03It's the budget thing, yeah.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Also, perhaps looking after this on our own.- OK.
0:31:06 > 0:31:13- You're right, it is all about the money.- I'm absolutely quaking in my boots.- Why are you quaking?!
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- I'm scared, cos I want this house. - You really do?- Yeah!
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I really do want it, but if it's too expensive,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21I want to collapse in a heap on the floor.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- Well, I think you should start, then.- Yeah.- Get your fear over and done with.- OK. OK.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29I'm going to go under the maximum and say about 230.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34OK. Don't look at me like you want me to tell you the right answer!
0:31:34 > 0:31:39I still think more than that. I'll go with 235.
0:31:39 > 0:31:45- 230, 235.- Shall I tell them? - You can tell 'em.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48It's exactly on your outer budget. £250,000.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- So we haven't gone over budget. - But there's no money to spend.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59- I'll look at a way of getting that house.- Yeah? OK, well, the thing is, we normally...
0:31:59 > 0:32:05- But you live in Purdy fantasy land, don't you?- That's why we need Jo. - I'm the reality...- I know.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10Normally, we'd say, you've got to make your decision, which one would you like to test drive,
0:32:10 > 0:32:15but because we're good Angels, we have got a little trick up our sleeve.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16We have.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20We felt, earlier in the day, that you really hadn't responded
0:32:20 > 0:32:23because both of us showed you bungalows,
0:32:23 > 0:32:26and you seemed a little despondent, to say the least.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29But we have got a fourth property.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Would you like to see the fourth property?
0:32:33 > 0:32:37Or would you like to test drive one of the properties we've already shown you?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Jo's the boss. - Jo, what would you like to do?
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Well, I mean, we can't afford this property,
0:32:43 > 0:32:45as much as you say that we can.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47You can, as long as you leave it as it is.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52I'm thinking you need 50 grand at least to get it liveable,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54so that's really...
0:32:54 > 0:32:57I'd like to see the fourth property.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- Fourth property?- I'm going with the boss.- Fourth property it is.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- No test drive, fourth property? - Yeah.- Oh, look at his face!
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- Yeah, go on. Go. Go for it. - Here we go.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12- It's not a bungalow and it's not a renovation project.- No.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Today's fourth and final property is a classic family home.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20We're taking a bit of a gamble as it's on an estate, so you know what that means, Rani!
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Yeah. Small garden.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27We are breaking with all tradition by giving you a fourth property,
0:33:27 > 0:33:31but no trying. So, from the outside, what do you think?
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Yeah, it looks like a lovely, family home, the ideal family home. Yeah.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Now, I know you kind of said no estates,
0:33:38 > 0:33:42but this is more of a close, it's a cul-de-sac,
0:33:42 > 0:33:48so with that in mind and having neighbours, cos I know you don't want Fred looking over the fence,
0:33:48 > 0:33:52- would you consider this as a property?- Yeah, I would.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- I mean, first impressions, it is nice.- Are you excited?- Yes. Yes.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- Well, go in and explore. - Let's have a look.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Come on, then. Let's go.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Right, then.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07I really hope they like this one.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11Well, they sacrificed their test drive for it, so they better had.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15So how do you visualise this, then?
0:34:15 > 0:34:22- Oh, wow, look at that!- Oh, that's an interesting feature.- Never seen anything like that before.
0:34:22 > 0:34:27Wow. So we could sit in here and watch the kids eat dinner in there.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- Yeah.- And it's like a soundproof barrier so they can't annoy you!
0:34:31 > 0:34:33That is an interesting feature, isn't it, Rani,
0:34:33 > 0:34:39the glass and concrete panels that go from the living room into that little kitchen/dining area there.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Now, what would you use this for, then?
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Well, I mean, you said potentially playroom,
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- but I couldn't see this as a playroom. - I would have this as a playroom.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54You could shut the doors and the curtains at the end of the night and leave the mess here.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59OK, so we're into the kitchen/diner.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Oh, there's some more over there as well.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04This is very well presented. I like this.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Actually, yes, that is big enough for a dining room table over there.
0:35:08 > 0:35:14- There's that fridge you want, look. A big, American-style fridge.- Yeah. Wonder if they'd leave that!
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- There's a wine rack for you as well! - For me?!
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I think we're going to see a change this time.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Last time, Tony was like, "I love this place,
0:35:22 > 0:35:25"it doesn't matter how much it costs, I can make this work."
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- This time, this is Jo's baby.- It is.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32- And utility room.- Tell you what, this is a very good space.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33Another good space.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Could keep putting all the little trikes and things like that,
0:35:37 > 0:35:39loads of nooks and crannies.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43- It's almost like a kitchen in itself.- Yeah. Loads of storage space!
0:35:43 > 0:35:49Right, then, so... Oh, got another conservatory here, then.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52And views of the garden.
0:35:53 > 0:35:59- What garden?- Now, I like the garden, as in, you know...
0:35:59 > 0:36:02If you didn't want a garden, yeah.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04See this is a reality check now.
0:36:04 > 0:36:10You can have the space you want, but you have to sacrifice something, and in this property, it's the garden.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13OK, good size. Oh, definitely a good space in here.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- I mean, two wardrobes there.- Yeah.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Plenty of room there for more wardrobes.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Good-sized bed, so yeah, this is a very good size.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28So, second bedroom.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- Another double.- Your wardrobe would fit in there.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36- Perfect. It's bright in here. - I do like the space.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- This house has got some really good space.- It has got good space.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Right, so this is bedroom four.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- Oh, this is the master. This is a big space.- Wow.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51That's almost your wardrobe.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55That's even bigger than my wardrobe! These people like clothes.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- They must.- My type of people. - This is great.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59This is a really good space.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03She's excited about a wardrobe! Well, actually, the space.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Space for it, yes.
0:37:05 > 0:37:11OK, so the en-suite. Now, it's very small, but compact and bijou.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13It doesn't matter, though, does it?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16It's got a shower, it's got a toilet, it's got a sink.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- That's all you need from an en-suite.- But it's an en-suite, which is great.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24It's great. We haven't got one now, so it's a bonus.
0:37:25 > 0:37:32Wow. Oh, this is a good space. Boys can be in the bath while I can be in the shower.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Kill two birds with one stone.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37This is very nice. Really nice bathroom.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42I'll tell you what, though, this house has really surprised me.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46How do you feel now in comparison to the last one? Two totally different houses, aren't they?
0:37:46 > 0:37:50They are. I mean, this house, the inside and potential inside,
0:37:50 > 0:37:54I really like it, and this is absolutely ideal for me.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- My only reservation is the garden. - Yeah, the garden.
0:38:00 > 0:38:05- What have you thought?- Initially, I approached with a bit of trepidation,
0:38:05 > 0:38:09but then inside, absolutely fabulous.
0:38:09 > 0:38:15I think it ticks every single box, and more, because it does the job I want it to do,
0:38:15 > 0:38:18and there's still more room to do other stuff.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- There is, however... - Yes!- Where's the garden?!
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Yeah, now when you came in, you were super positive
0:38:25 > 0:38:27and I thought you were a lot more positive than Tony
0:38:27 > 0:38:31until you hit that conservatory and all I kept hearing in your voice was,
0:38:31 > 0:38:34"Where's the garden, where's the garden?" Nothing else mattered.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- How much of a compromise would this be? - It would be the biggest compromise.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43- Is it a compromise you would be willing to make?- No.- Right.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45It's the kids, you know.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50They don't make all the decisions about what's in the house, but they need the space.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55OK, well, you have sacrificed your chance to do a test drive to see this extra property,
0:38:55 > 0:38:57so what we've done is had our mystery surveyor
0:38:57 > 0:39:00come round and have a look anyway at it for you.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05- It's not legally binding, but it does give you a head up.- OK.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08He had a few issues with the property. Nothing too major.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- Shall we reel them off?- Yeah.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15- You know the outside wall, on the right hand side?- Yeah.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19That wall is cracking and leaning slightly.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22You will need to get that fixed, but it's not a hugely expensive job.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24That's the first thing he brought up.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Inside the house, he looked at the staircase.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30The banister, he said was very fashionable when it was built in the 90s.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Now, with health and safety, you'd have to have that changed.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38He's looking at the region between 500 and £700 to do that bit of work.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41OK, then, your maximum budget is £250,000.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46How much is this beautiful property on the market for, what do you think?
0:39:46 > 0:39:53- I think it'll probably come in about 239.- 239?- Yeah.- OK.- Jo.
0:39:53 > 0:39:58So I would say top of the budget, 249.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03- Shall I tell them? You've won again. Four in a row, Jo. Sorry!- OK.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07The actual price for this stunning property is 249,950.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11We've shown you four properties today. There is no test drive,
0:40:11 > 0:40:16but we still need to ask you the big question, so we're going to give you a few moments to gather
0:40:16 > 0:40:19your thoughts and come back to us and have a proper old chat about it.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23- If you'd like to go off there. Good luck.- See you later. - See you later.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27While they go off and make a decision, here's a recap for all of you at home.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Cast your minds back to the first property of today,
0:40:31 > 0:40:34the immaculate five-bedroomed converted bungalow,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37complete with a superb garden and all-important driveway.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39On the market for £235,000.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Property two was also a converted bungalow.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47Four bedrooms, open plan living, but unlike Rani's, mine had the gorgeous views.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Views, however, come at a price. £239,950.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54What about the wildcard with its three Ps?
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Pebble dash, potential and possibly the Purdy touch.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00But will its price tag of £250,000 put them off?
0:41:02 > 0:41:06And finally, we showed them a classic family home on a traditional estate.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Everything Tony didn't want in fact!
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Will a price tag of £249,950 sway them towards suburbia?
0:41:14 > 0:41:18You've seen four properties today. You haven't test driven one.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21We do want to ask you a big question,
0:41:21 > 0:41:24but not on just this property about all the ones you've seen today.
0:41:24 > 0:41:30- Do you want to do the honours? - I'd love to. So, to buy or not to buy,
0:41:30 > 0:41:33on any of the four properties we've shown you today?
0:41:33 > 0:41:38Well, we're not going to get away from the fact that Tony's going to go away,
0:41:38 > 0:41:42look at budgets in relation to property three,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45cos he can't get that one out of his mind.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Yeah, as I say, I can't get it out of my head,
0:41:47 > 0:41:49but back in the real world...
0:41:49 > 0:41:51It's weighing up the pros and cons,
0:41:51 > 0:41:55and if it's too much to take on, and the fact that I'm going to be the one
0:41:55 > 0:41:58that's going to be there the majority of the time,
0:41:58 > 0:42:00not Tony, and then, of course, the budget.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Listen, this is really positive.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06It was very different, it was the wildcard, loads to do on it,
0:42:06 > 0:42:11but if you can do the math and get the money, it's potentially...
0:42:11 > 0:42:13- A buy.- A possible consideration.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18I think that is an amazing day for all of us, and a very different day.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22- Very different. It's been an emotional rollercoaster.- Has it?
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Thank you for coming on and good luck!
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- Thank you so much, guys. - Thank you.- Bye!- Bye.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Well, Angel, that was definitely a mission and a half.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34It was indeed, but there's one thing I'm concerned about.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39Do you think that Ed is going to be mad that we didn't let them try before they buy?
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Don't sweat it. We showed them four properties. I think they'll buy one.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43That's true.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Now, if any of you would like us Angels
0:42:46 > 0:42:50to take on a property case for you, don't hesitate.
0:42:50 > 0:42:51Get in touch!
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Before we go today, we've got a bit of an update for you.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Quite possibly the best wildcard I've ever seen.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06Oh yes, because a few days later, after some serious number crunching,
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Jo and Tony went ahead and put in an offer on the wildcard.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13And the good news is, the offer was accepted! Nice work, Angel!
