I accidentally bought a home for £10,000 but now I’m having the last laugh
A COUPLE who accidentally bought a home for £10,000 without seeing it first in a major mix up are now having the last laugh.: "The problem was auctioneers speak fast, and this one had a strong Glaswegian accent: I was really struggling to follow."But since 2019, they've been working on their new home full-time - and say they wouldn't change a thing.
Experts told them the foundations needed to be repaired, a new roof would have to be installed, masonry above a bay window had collapsed and all the timber works inside the 19th century building were rotten.page, Claire said: "The first of many before and afters - every time I see what the house looked like when we bought it, next to pictures of what it looks like now, it brings on a wave of emotions."Never in a million years did I expect our home to turn out so beautifully.
"Mixed with the waves of happiness is just the utter disbelief I have when walking through these spaces."It was one of the drier spaces in the house, owing to the vinyl flooring in the room above - which is probably why the floors had been nicked!"Long before the outdoor kitchen came to be, we cooked in here, had dinners and drinks with friends, and important 'board meetings' where we tried to figure out how the hell we were going to fix this house.
"Now, we have a homey kitchen and living space for flat 2 or our holiday rentals - a space to make new memories with friends and family - around a dinner table, or cozied up on the sofa."LOTTA WORK
