Property Ladder S04E01

[@iggle6448]

IMHO...An utterly self-absorbed, self-appointed style guru and her enabler sister. How could their parents let them get past the age of majority like this! They absolutely wrecked the interior of a substantial and distinctive house with their fantasy Disney mish-mash of exhorbitant tat. This prime and rare example of an Art Deco house could have been so stylishly and elegantly dressed. Makes me want to weep.

[@DarkSaltedCaramel]

Disney mish mash! Excellent!

[@godfreykorb9194]

The builders facial expressions - priceless

[@alisonhampshire3081]

Good Grief! I'm so glad this woman said she wasn't going to do anymore houses, the decor is like a 6yr old's bedroom,. Who on earth would want to pay that huge amount only to have to completely redecorate.These two sisters seem to be in total dream land. I must say since watching these programs I'm gobsmacked at how many people totally ignore the advice of a seasoned expert like Sarah rather you than me Sarah!

[@abigail1023]

The pouting, the little girl voice, and the cutesy act are distasteful. A grown woman whose apartment looks like that of a ten-year-old should leave the decorating to others. I love this art deco house! What those foolish girls have done to it is simply criminal.

[@infamyinfamy]

The downstairs, especially the kitchen, looks like something my 7 year old niece would design. Surprised there aren't Disney Princesses decorating the house somewhere. Ridiculous furnishings, especially in a beautiful Art Deco house.

[@kdhovis8665]

It seemed like a joke but guess it was real.

[@ridikerous]

This woman was so infantile, it was really amusing. This is one of the more memorable shows in the series and one I will probably watch again for the entertainment value. Just to see this woman actually say, "It's all about me!"

[@jilla2650]

It was so painful to watch, I could not watch it again. I wonder if they sold it in the end?

[@li-anderker55]

There's actually a lot of potential there. The sisters have turned the lovely house into such a fright factory that someone could scoop it up for a very cheap price. The garish obscene decorating is all cosmetic. What an opportunity!

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

Li-an Derker Just kill them and take the house for free!

[@audreygreene9339]

Yes! Seems like most of the hideousness is skin deep. I'd love to see an update because I can imagine a savvy buyer getting it at a low price, then buying twenty buckets of white paint, an Ikea kitchen, and making a cool profit.

[@proxy7778]

It makes me want to cry, seeing this house after this, so called, "renovation"... Incredible loss to a fantastic art deco building :(

[@AndreasTabuMuntu]

The only potential buyers for this house are unicorns and leprechauns, and that pretty much sums up the probability of selling this house. Clearly these girls still live in an era where the Spice Girls are still number one on the Billboard charts smh

IF the smart sister learns her lesson, the money she lost will be well spent. It took me 40 years to realize my "artistic" sister was a menace to my wallet and that I should never, ever go in with her on a loaf of bread, much less something as big as a house. "It's all about me" she says. Exactly.

[@cheechalker8430]

She’s decorating a dollhouse. The #1 rule of development/hour flipping is to make the house as neutral as possible so any potential buyer can see themselves living in it and not be so overwhelmed by the thought of a few changes

[@evafort9441]

Hideous inside decor. Outside is lovely.

[@TheNighthawk00]

Basically this is flipping a house. Why spend money in furniture? Sure it gives potential buyers an idea of how things can look but surely the buyers will want to bring in their own furniture. So in general all that personal decoration is a net loss. Am I missing something? Is the housing market in the UK so different from the rest of the world that personal decoration is expected?

I thought Natalie was a teacher. Not much damn good at maths is she ? With all of the colour and whimsy it looks like a pre-school. That kind of figures.She should realise if she's selling for a profit not to put her own very strange taste into it. Art deco is about clean strong lines.This is a very expensive mess.The expensive down stairs loo would be a nightmare especially if one entered that room with a hangover. At least if they threw -up it would blend in well.

[@hollydayholiday]

Oh noooooooooooooo! How awful! The outside is ok but the inside deserves to be knocked down entirely (floor ground and extension) because of how that childish so-called designer named Nathalie I think, decorated and didn't think properly. With a terrace big like that, what's the point putting the "French doors" on another place than in place of the semi-circular windows? Not a word about the decoration, kitchen and other rooms, it's just the result of a disturbed mind.

[@rorik.3842]

The problem with the girl is that she doesn't know .. to be able to let someone buy a house .. is to make them imagine themselves living in it.... or wanting to live in it.. but that offputting decor and colors that doesn't make your soul calm ... and the over spending on things that don't matter ... is really annoying ....

There's so much wrong with this that one doesn't know where to start. Putting aside the foolish decision-making, the builder is unethical by taking such advantage of these two young women. He should have stopped them early on. One wonders if the neighbors threatening legal action was maybe just to stop the foolishness going on next door. It's surprising Sarah was so gentle with them. I'd love to know how much they ended up losing on this exercise in pride and idiocy.

[@nancyhebb9246]

It's not the builder's place to argue common sense with a client. Unfortunately, the owner is his boss - the client, no matter how ridiculous, is always right.
