Where are you getting a mortgage with 9% deposit?

[@prospect2664]

did something similar, except that i lived with my parents. luckily managed to get my apartment for super cheap, and then put every bit of my savings into the renovations and furniture, it got to the point, where i had to skip a few months before moving in, so i could buy everything i needed and after buying the last thing (tv), i was left with 700 euros for two weeks, before i got another paycheck :) glad to see someone who isnt filthy rich doing renovations, hope ur happy with what you got out of it

[@petermages9482]

I think your so called "Neighbours" needed excuses for complaining. I think they are just jealous that you are making money with construction. Especially with Your age and they did not. Just food for thought.

My in-laws neighbour was EXACTLY the same as yours. They had a large rear and loft extension completed with a Juliet balcony overlooking my in-laws garden. Then objected to a reasonable rear extension that my in-laws wanted to do. The council came round did an inspection and laughed at their objections.

They probably complained because they knew how much noise it would make

It's always hilarious with these types of petty neighbours in terraced houses, because they completely overlook the fact that neighbouring property plays a large role in their own house valuation.

My gosh, what a joy to watch this. You're a man after mine own heart.

My driveway has a new surface £250 v £7,500 All my painting Reno's are now done by me, as well as furniture flips. & It's fun. I'd stop at the intricate foundation work you're doing, though!

[@DaddyBear3000]

Bloody hell lad! Having first hand experience with large scale property renovations… this is massively impressive. The stones alone to pick up such a big project are beyond most people. The fact you are doing it now, at your stage in life, is EXACTLY the right time to lay rock solid foundations for success. 100% sub from me 👊🏼

Wow! London. I worked in London and lived in Hampstead Heath during 1962. It snowed in London and it looked like a classic Christmas movie or Christmas card. I could have lived there forever, but my husband, at the time, who was English (and the reason I was able to work in England), didn't want to. He preferred California, USA. I was 21 or 22 and I'm now 81, but still remember London vividly.

As s one one who has spent three plus years renovating in Notting Hill, I can tell you how ridiculous your neighbours straight off. Here’s why. You accomplished all of it in a mere TWELVE MONTHS! My renovation, like most renovations in this posh area take literally YEARS! I for one would have done what you did, but I could never do what you do. Your neighbours should be thanking you and overjoyed. You’ve added value to their property too, and did it in only ONE YEAR! Very well done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼👍🏼

Get proper sash windows in to finish it off. Personally, I hate the loss of period features BUT I understand when a house is so far gone , a complete renovation is the best way to go. You are a very impressive young man being able to do this.

[@johnloader8611]

That's my only criticism of your Inspirational renovation. Reinstating the sashes at the front would have been a crowning achievement. uPVC windows in an historic building are the absolute pits...

Absolutely! Double glazed Sash windows are available.

[@chrispallett-gu1vl]

I really appreciate how you walked us through the whole renovation. I’m in interior designer who not only works for clients but also buys renovates and sells his own properties. I’ve never done a project to this extent before but I have done major hundred thousand dollar plus projects that I move into and then sell a year or two later. It’s been a very successful venture for me over the 35 years that I’ve been doing it. I can understand that doing a project In an expensive location has its downfalls, but the upside is this there’s loads of buyers when you’re ready to sell. Fortunately, in Canada, when it is your primary residence, and then you sell, There is no capital gains tax, a real bonus financially. You are so knowledgable about all the aspects of construction and where to spend money and where you can save money is really critical and having a successful project and you obviously are doing everything right. I’ll continue watching your videos for inspiration and also for sharing with clients who are thinking of doing a major renovation.

I have done it myself and know what it’s like. It took years of work on the house while living in it, working full time, doing overtime to pay for it. Just keep going slowly and methodically and you will get there. I finished mine in the end and later sold it last year then bought another wreck that I am working on now. In case you wondered why I am going through this again; I was able to buy a larger house without a mortgage and have enough cash to pay for the renovations. Good luck. 👍

Fantastic journey! EXHAUSTING!!! I cannot believe all the work. I KNOW it's a mother of a slog. I bow to you. You can be ultra proud of what you've accomplished! I was confused at the end when you weren't walking through the finished house but instead, we were looking at stills that seemed as if they were out of some brochure. For future reference, I prefer the out and out walk through the house SLOWLY, so I can appreciate all the extraordinary work you've done. Bravo!! Seriously.

Hi hi! Husband and I are currently renovating our home and I had to stop the video to make a comment. You said you wouldn’t realize all the things that it takes for a renovation that you do and YES!!! We have an acre of land as well so not only did we gut the entire thing and replacing all the heating, cooling, electrical and plumbing we are also redid the entire exterior. I mean 14 large trees removed, driveway, tuck pointing, stone work, covered patio and patio.

Honestly, even if you do everything yourself, spending so long to build is actually extremely costly, when you account both opportunity and strict costs. Since you could have been living in the building for last 20 years. And goddamn, the inflation.

@@isabella6075 it's going really well, thank you. It's consumed my life though I must admit. I'm moving in at the end of the month to finish things off. The plastering has taken the most time. When I do another project, I'll definitely be better at completing tasks in order. I've been working too much on finishing the kitchen and bathroom when there's been lots of messy work still outstanding. On the next project I'll do all of the plastering then move onto the next stages, such as prepping for decorating and installing the kitchen and bathroom.

I spent a 70 mile an hour storm with the tin lid on and the sheets flapping with my head under the pillow scared to death! ❤️ love what you did with the London house. HUZZAH. From two retired inveterant renovaters/builders.

I’m a builder that has just completed my first London project for myself in London and I very impressed with what you have taken on and completed. Enjoyed watching your journey. I also have fallen out with the Neighbours. But I was working 12 hours a day so they had the right to complain 😂. To get it done in a year is nothing to be snubbed at! Where did you get your kitchen from?

This was such a great video. Loved how you narrated it, it was really entertaining and pleasant to watch. I'm currently renovating an old log cabin where I do all the work myself (with no experience) so watching and hearing your "do it yourself attitude" was really inspiring to hear! Also this was insanely impressive work!

Well done. For us outer London has always suited us better (detached, more space) but for an inner London house this one is lovely - a great piece of work. I have neer done works so never disturbed neighbours and I have had them near me for 2 years now one project, 6 months another and now house next to that and just as one ends the one right next door will start again - noise noise noise and of course all be people who break the law/rules eg no works should be after Sat lunch time.

Congratulations on a great project and video! The house looks fantastic. Agreed with many of the people who’ve commented. It’s really good to hear the costs and the amount time taken to complete the house, how to cut costs, the pit falls and the words of encouragement. Just subscribed to your channel. I’ll be watching the rest of the videos 😊😊

Love the video and what an inspiration!! We've renovated 2 flats now in the last 2 years and managing to gradually climb the property ladder. Looking to sell up soon and buy our first house to reno 🤞
