"From Unsellable To Sold" | The Unsellables - Season 1 | MEGA MARATHON | House to Home

[@PropertyandRenoOfficial]

What has been your favourite episode from season 1? 😍

[@twistoffate4791]

Are there new episodes? These episodes were shot in 2008, but the video is labeled like it was just a couple weeks ago. It's 2022 now, and the episodes are 14 years old. What are Sophie Allsopp and Anthony Sayers doing now???

[@twistoffate4791]

My favorite was Carmelina's episode because she needed the most help. I love that she had a dog & fish & played the piano. She was a woman with a dream, and I am glad she had Sophie & Anthony's help making her house sellable.

[@wildwoodtop]

Provided Sophie is the host then that's my absolute favorite 😋

[@thornbird6768]

All of them , I really like this show 👍🏻

[@stellamantikou4978]

3:20:48 Dear smokers, I had to help my friend clean her newly painted rental apartment once. The owner was a heavy smoker who worked from home and spent mostof his time gaming. He died at 42 and my friend moved in shortly after that. (we did not know at the time,his father told the story weeks later). The rooms looked quite clean at first glance. Key word:first. There was a yellow slime covering everything,from furniture to walls, to the interior of cabinets and wardrobes to the tiles in the bathroom to the insides of appliances. His mark in his home was a slimy film of smoky yellow residue everywhere. It took four people five days of scrubbing/steaming/sanitizing this place to the bone to make it somewhat clean. We were mourning in terror the condition of his lungs.

[@intewiseinvesting184]

EP 1: I saw how shocked the couple was when she told them the house was probably not selling because of the master bedroom being in the basement. As a parent myself…I SECOND THAT!!!! There’s no way I’m going to be sleep in the basement while my young kids are on a floor by themselves that has all the entry points. I would automatically eliminate this house just because of the layout.

[@GranmaShell]

I thought the same exact thing!

[@dovespaligrino8312]

My thought exactly!!!

[@erirose8680]

A bathroom should have been built on the main floor. Plus, bedroom downstairs. Awful house!

[@cynthiashaw45]

They fail to understand it all has to go anyway when they sell. Why not pack it all up now? A storage space rental for a month or 2 is a good investment.

[@dude988]

My parents moved into the basement after I was born, leaving me and my siblings alone on the first floor.

[@vynidalopes251]

Sophie and Anthony are two of my Fav people ever! The magic they bring to a home AND helping families to live their dream. Glad to have them back 🥰🥰🥰

[@twistoffate4791]

I only wish I could hire Anthony to fix issues in my house. I am not selling it, just wanting a rather long list of issues fixed or built. He does it all. No problem seems to faze him. But I'm in the U.S., which is not the countries they work in.

[@geanasmith3227]

Nice 👍

Opening the house up , update furniture. Upstairs,move bulk furniture out . and change bedrooms looks opening up.

[@BOB1974_]

People don't understand that the day you put your house on the market it's no longer YOUR house. Not the day you accept an offer or even the day of closing but the day it goes up for sale.

[@AGM-ts5bb]

Exactly. It's not personal.

[@stellamantikou4978]

[@ellejaysmith6623]

I can’t understand why people are so reluctant to declutter and put in some work to sell a home they no longer want. 🤷‍♀️

[@Robert74450]

They actually still want the homes or they just don’t want to do an additional work

[@dittohead7044]

Especially the first couple. They have a home that they can put all the clutter in. In fact I’m not sure why they weren’t living in the second home

[@hopelewis5650]

Why would you take all your clutter to new house?

[@tinajernigan1728]

I think they don't realize how much clutter they have. They are used to it.

[@vreed8755]

Agreed.

[@tsworld9183]

I'm happy to hear Anthony say that people like to ignore the kitchen. when I was looking at houses today and thought why do people make the kitchen an after thought. It should be a major part of buying a house to me.

[@shqa574]

I used to watch Sophie and Anthony on Unsellables a long time ago. Anthony was a magician.

[@sandybeck9192]

[@nativeamericanfeather9948]

I personally rather look at houses without anything in them. So,I can easily have my own envision without any blocks. I want to see the rooms for what I can use them for & with my furniture in them. Hard to do when others have their furniture there & the room is set to their function. I absolutely LOVE what you guys do. So incredible! I want Anthony to come & work his magic in my forever home. God Bless you guys &all you do for others

[@shqa574]

In some instances, they added their own clutter to the refurbished rooms. Artwork and knick knacks were over the top, unless they came with the house. LOL Plus the holes in the wall would need to be patched. Less is more.

[@gottathinkupanewone]

The house looked gorgeous when it was redone, and I'm not surprised it sold fast. But I suspect that the first thing the new owner will want to do is find someplace to squeeze in at least a half-bath on the first floor. The basement bathroom was pretty and neat to begin with, and very convenient to the family room, but having to go downstairs every time you need it would get old fast. But with the depth of that backyard, even a full extension on the back of the house is not out of the question, and that's what I'd have been thinking when I made my offer!

[@texasstardust6010]

Omgosh. The house where the door opens onto the kitchen... baaaddd Feng Shui. Yikes. Such an adorable Home from the outside.

[@KimberleeMelissa]

I love the artwork, especially the cat and koi in season 7 episode 1. . Also love how the show keeps the costs down while doing so much.

[@anaderol5408]

I'm fascinated with the streets in the background - towns in the depths of winter complete with impressive mounds of snow and yet....seem to be fully functional - lots of people in the streets, traffic including public transport..... I've lived in Sydney and Melbourne Australia and central England - (none of these places experience extreme winters) and yet - often traffic jams on freeways would result from rain or .....'leaves on the rail tracks' would bring the rail system to a halt!!!😳😳😳 I often used to wonder how Scandinavian countries or Canada coped in bad weather... 😂😂

[@barbc7698]

Ooh new episodes! How awesome.

[@stellamantikou4978]

6:05:41 The original panels were gorgeous. Painting them was such a "let's make it blah" move..I remember this show mentioning to "emphasize original features" before. What happened to that idea? Respect the architecture man!

[@divinesignatures6225]

Sophie looks like a rock star. Very interesting show.

[@maddy-h7x]

Nice to see how houses used to look like. Also the after is excellent, without costing too much

[@Robert74450]

It seems to me many of these folks felt like they did not have one more penny to put into the home and many of them seemed too exhausted by everyday life that the did not wish to put in more effort who pays for the redo

[@peggypeggy4137]

I can understand the sentiment of wanting to move out of a house that you had once shared with a loved one who has passed but nowadays the inventory is so low in Toronto. The competition is so high for the buyers. Many people bidding on each house. My neighbours sold and it took them 2 years to get another house and that was their 2nd home. They had equity therefore were in a competitive position.

[@brendagirouard29]

Parents sacrifice their own comfort for their Children. I would do the same. Lovely couple and their Children seem happy. Of course to sell you must make changes. Hope this Family are happy in New home. 💜 From Texas.

[@JLC48]

The house with the plaid wallpapers and green carpet was the 80's not the 70's. Trust me. Great job on all the homes!

[@lisamedeiros7581]

I love this marthon! They do such a good job and good tips

[@TerryInUSA]

Just because the apple borders in the kitchen are not currently in style doesn't mean they are ghastly, as everyone was saying in horror. They are pretty. Just not in style. I would want them kept as is while they spruced up the rest of the kitchen.

[@kimberlylozano2881]

Weird style House at 2:40 would have looked really unique matte black(outside) w that fire red door. Modern Houses here in Houston are going to matte black, looks real nice.

[@Fouloul.]

The house of the episode 8 is one of the best. It looks very good from the outside (quiet modern!) and is very neat, decluttered, and not that outdated at all compared to all the others!

[@johnlogan3908]

Why is the picture of the last supper blurred? What's the matter with a great piece of art by Da Vinci? Many people have this same print displayed in their dining room.

[@nativeamericanfeather9948]

You could buy a home like the 1st house for about $70-80k here.I have a nice 4 bdrm 2 bath,huge yard,shed,big deck & got it for $70k other places it would be hundreds of thousands. A million $ home there would be a $400k here that's not far from the lake front. It's interesting to see the fluctuation of pricing depending on location

[@kmurray5394]

FABULOUS show!

[@jeannineterese1037]

They know damn well why they didn’t get any offers.

[@katharinatrub1338]

Ohhh I really would like you to re-organize my house and than continue to live in it!

[@stellamantikou4978]

5:56:15 This house will have a better flow if the entrance changes. Close up the outside landing, move the door outwards with new steps. That will expand the inside entrance hall. Close up the kitchen original entrance. This way you have a small entryway leading to the sitting room instead of the awkward mess of the kitchen being front and center.

[@sjknight8615]

What a classy presenter. :)

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

I especially like that "desk/home office area-well done! I always find it most interesting when comparing how homes in the UK are remodeled and styled for selling. The UK style is totally different than how this is done in the US. In the US the realtors try to make the home look like the latest styles all white walls, with white matching drapes or blonds, and very highly styled. NO wood trim or kitchen cupboards etc.

[@jms9057]

And it's sad, because many of us detest hiding woodwork under paint. So vanilla, boring.

[@BreaTheBrat]

When did this show air? These TVs are humungous 😁. After seeing the TVs, we were trying to pick up on the style clues. My guess is early 2000s. Boot cut Jean's, hair bumps, cream colored paint.

[@DopeyPixie]

It aired in 2008.

[@twistoffate4791]

When Sofie & Anthony were working on Bob & Sue's home (think cobalt blue walls), Sofie mentioned she was dragging the home into 2008. So, this is a 14-year-old show.

I’ve grown up in the tiny apartment with no private space at all. We didn’t had a thing like “master bedroom”…. And I’m fine… I’ve had a house with “master bedroom” it didn’t change me as a person.

there is only one bathroom and it's in the basement! that would be the 'no way' for me. I am ok with one bathroom.. just not in the basement!

[@Vikingshop]

Why so many BROWN and DARK and PASTEL colors from the 70's and 80's? Why not clean WHITE and LIGHT combined with raw wood and metal.....making it more fresh and up to date? Dark brown floors and dark brown furniture is SO depressing.

[@twistoffate4791]

For the record, I'd like to state that I still love the glass block feature. Sophie called it "very Miami Vice," but I don't care. I love glass blocks.

[@huson-7wk]

I know it was winter but, IMO this house has no curb appeal. The cosmetic overhaul of the house's interior was great.

[@jaellouis6318]

Finally!! This is the first episode I've seen where they've used a headboard. Normally they just lean the pillows against the wall. A design style reminiscent of dorm room decor.

The place was too dirty for me to enjoy Sofie's magic!

[@82Vroom]

Uh… buyers should always want their own home inspection regardless of what the sellers offer. And it’s important to find someone reputable who is detailed. My home passed a sellers inspection. We got a random guy to inspect thinking just anyone would be good to get the house. He only found two issues on the old home we bought. He didn’t even question the sagging upstairs or the staircase that moved as you walked up it. Turns out the stairs to the upstairs were held up with cable ties and they cut the support beams to the upstairs to Run AC Duct work. Leaking back hallway was actually an upstairs bathroom issue. My house was being held together with bubblegum. Their was no proper electrical panel. There were sub panels on wet damp brick. Like… it should have never passed. We have since fixed everything properly as we find things. I love my home. But it’s been a bit of a money pit. Be OK with fixing other peoples handiwork even after an inspection.

[@FischerNadia]

A question about the first house... You really think a buyer would not wonder where the kids sleep? Master bedroom (with the pictures from their kids) and a home office on the 1st floor, but the kids have no room? Kinda... disturbing. And yes, for that kind of money, I would look closer into that.

"I think it's cozy. I like it". Yeah but no one else thinks it's cozy. They think it's a dark, messy, cluttered, claustrophobic place with no room to put anything where owners have to sleep on a mattress on the floor in the basement, like dogs.

[@yesiownfrodo]

I am shocked at the number of women who are selling their house because they are getting married. Why? Use that house as a rental. Why doesn't HE sell his house instead? I'd be willing to bet a thousand bucks the money from the sale is paying off the new husband's house. I hope they realize that if they get divorced, they've lost all their investment if their name is not also on the deed to that house. NOT WISE. If a man is looking at you as a nurse or a purse, that's not the kind of man that is going to take care of YOU at all. The woman on the motorcycle and the woman from Romania, I bet they regret those sales. If the person you are marrying is getting money from you, that's a gold digger, whether they are male or female. I love this show, I just can't get over how many people there are who are just giving away their $$ for "love".

[@shqa574]

I thought the same thing about the women with children, with a new companion. If the marriage ended, they would might get 50% of the new house, and no home to fall back on.

[@anaderol5408]

You are correct but your comments are also valid for men - just people in general sometimes seem to lose their common sense when they find 'true love'. Everyone should hang on to their investments OR sell everything and buy a combined property with both names on the deeds.

[@gottathinkupanewone]

If you want to fake a fireplace look with narrow shelves like that, try filling the empty box with battery powered flickering votive candles. Get the kind that work on a remote control, and you can just push a button to turn on the flames. They really do look QUITE realistic!

She's breaking the number one house shower's rule. Never go in the room first.

[@marciacahoon3512]

Great episode! The house was so much improved and inviting. The master bedroom needed to be on the main floor. Too bad that there is no bathroom on the main floor. It might be a good idea to make tthe 2nd bedroom into a bathroom. But probably better to leave that project for the new owner. My only suggestion would have been to spruce up the front yard and front of the house. It looked kind of dumpy and drab! Absolutely no curb appeal!

[@heatherjephcott5022]

I am wondering just when these videos were made. Above all, the computers are the give-away. When did we have them looking like that? Early 2000s? I know we had one like that back in the late 1990s.

[@twistoffate4791]

Sophie mentioned dragging Bob & Sue's house (remember the place with the cobalt blue living room) into 2008, so that makes these shows 14 years old.

Just..... 😒

[@anniehovsepian6173]

Agree, you don't destroy classic, there are other ways but sadly with Sophie it's destroy, take out the character.

[@marilynndesilva7620]

Totally agree. The louvered closet doors were overdone---not to mention the southwestern desert theme---but the original woodwork throughout the house was beautiful. That blue bedroom in the house shown as an example looked rather cheap for a million dollar neighborhood, and the uncomfortable antediluvian living room chairs and the pink seats on the dining room chairs are likewise a turn off for me.

[@GranmaShell]

@@marilynndesilva7620 I thought the same thing. What they did to that home cheapened it for me ~ I personally would walk away.

[@Toni_Snark]

If you want to live in an outdated looking house, that’s certainly your prerogative, but all wood doesn’t need to be “preserved” it’s original color. A lot of us want to live in the present day and leave the natural wood to beautiful furniture. It’s a matter of personal taste. Once you list it, It’s not your house, anymore.

[@anniehovsepian6173]

@@Toni_Snark it's not a matter of being an old fashioned house, anybody that ends up buying that house and if they want the original historic wood it's going to take a lot of time and money to try and restore that wood because painting it destroys it.

I think that the main reason why most those houses did not sell is...smell. I cannot imagine the smell with all those pets, mice, humidity, smoke and maybe other things we cannot point at like unclean stuff like carpets, curtains. People are afraid of illnesses and those houses scream germs and mold.

[@dawnth531]

I find it hard to understand why people seem to have such a problem with de-cluttering their houses when they're looking to sell. They are going to have to pack up everything to make the move out of the house anyway, so you'd think they would just look at it as getting ready to leave. Especially the ones who've already purchased another home - and if you don't have access to your new home yet put your excess stuff in storage for a few weeks.

It is puzzling why Andrea thought she had to carry two mortgages... her boyfriend is unemployed? If he can work and won't... get rid of him and keep the house! Second thought on all of the showings is that its great to get ideas from watching... but you are disingenuous when you give the costs.... i've been a homeowner for many decades and have found that labor costs are roughly 2 to 3 times the cost of materials unless you do it yourself. Please add in the hours you spend on each home.... will give a more accurate idea of cost.

Some of the new furnishings were unnecessary, that inflated the total costs. After all, they are not being sold to the new Buyer, and God knows if the Seller would keep them. Unless the refurbishment cost is covered by the production company.
