... the confidence that Jennifer gained with Ruth's help. It was heartwarming to watch her genuine gratitude and love for Ruth..beaming, with eyes smiling as soon as she saw her. Jennifer truly blossomed. Good on Nigel for relinquishing his archaic idea of having to control everything. I could see it wasn't easy for him, but he found out that his wife was deserving of not only his trust, but his respect. Lovely story. ❤️🤗🕊️

[@blancabulgrin5560]

Ruth is amazing ,the people she works for an her knowledge she brings to each home needs something different. Everywhere she goes with her ideas always work....... I love your show.......

[@JohnSmith-lk8cy]

I can see why they bought this house. It is truly magnificient.

[@simonjohnson4704]

“When Nigel Wally and his second wife Jennifer…” - unless he has two wives at the same time I’m struggling to understand why that bit of info was necessary.. haha..

[@MaryJaneJones.]

Right.

[@LondonEE16]

I thought the same, but maybe it was to make clear he had another family before her and that accounts for him losing a son, but not her.

[@janeclarkson8471]

Looking around this house transports me to paradise! So so beautiful. Nice family. However, an immense property like this, they should have had foresight and KNOWN us would be a constant fortune keeping this property safe, decorated and well-maintained. Old building with old roof’s and old plumbing with no insulation. What a millstone. I’m happy in my 3 up and two down with moderate gardens. Plus at 77 I’m looking to downsize.

[@lucyvan2010]

Adrian......omgoodness.... Such a grumpy child Bless his wife ❤

[@WranglermanLevi]

Seems like Adrian is just trying to make ends meet and then is taking double criticism from both women in this conversation. I can't blame him for shutting down and not wanting to participate anymore. Ruth seems to have a great deal of business acumen but she has a double standard when it comes to the women she works with. The women are equal or they aren't, which is it. Bless Adrian.

[@couldbegood]

Having a full time seamstress is unbelievable when you have those debts

[@janeclarkson8471]

Nigel is really a lazy toff. His wife is the capable one. She's stopped being his token and taken a stance. Good for her. He just sits there paying lip service. He's far too laid back. He's tired with stiff joints is he? Good! I wish success for her especially!

[@rachaelkerrigan7698]

Nigel was so grumpy that his wife was doing so well....

[@janeclarkson8471]

Arts and Crafts period and Edwardian is my favourite. Always do beautiful and practical design. I've always dreamed of an Arts and Crafts house. Still a dream at 76. Hope it all turns out fir them. An ordinary (with respect) couple who have an opportunity. Good Luck 🤞🍀🍀🍀🙏🏻

excuse me I pay premium to NOT be subject to ads and yet here I am bombarded by ads? wtf?

Excuse me, but nobodies care, premium lady

Adblock comes to the rescue, but we have to suffer through a 3 second delay (and guilt trip) when we start a video.

[@thomas2much601]

Stop paying and they will ask you why?

[@JVSwailesBoudicca]

I have'nt watched it all through yet but I am surprised that it hasn't been mention already that this, surely, must be a protected building simply because of the architectural values alone.

[@pholliez]

In the beginning the narrator says it is Grade 2 listed.

[@JVSwailesBoudicca]

@@pholliez Ahh, I thought I must have misssed something - but couldn't be bothered to go back & replay, so thanks !👍

[@springsogourne]

Just shunt the old folks about, keep them out of sight, oh my. It’s no fun getting old.

[@janeclarkson8471]

A charming couple. I hope they get out of the mire. I have very small scale mire but the effect is the same when you have nothing. The difference is I've nothing to sell! However their headache is immense and they're so caring. Fingers crossed. 🤞🍀

[@dim_sum1552]

It looks like adrian sold his black clauchrie house 6 yrs after this ep was filmed as well things didn't end well for that timber business either.

[@carterfamilychannel]

Ruth is amazing! i miss her

[@jyotivig3666]

Wish we could see more of her.

[@JVSwailesBoudicca]

Come to Framlingham in Suffolk and see her at her Italian restaurant ! @@jyotivig3666

[@patcardiff2563]

Why have Ruth stopped doing these programme now

[@carterfamilychannel]

@@patcardiff2563 she is in her 70s now and kind of retired I miss her so much as the hotel inspector Alex is not the same, I just don’t think TV has her in mind anymore for any new shows, I would love here to return as the hotel inspector for a special.

[@JVSwailesBoudicca]

@@carterfamilychannel She concentrates on her Italian restaurant in Suffolk & it is too much to do both.

[@lalani888ARTblue]

I absolutely loved this and found all of it nothing but inspiring! Yhank you all so much 💚🙏💌

[@taniagarciaduenas48]

❤❤😮This is my dream, a beautiful house for my family, my mother, a gift, I adore the inner green, comes a sophisticated arrangement from Napoleon, a good part of Chase, refined with so much care. ❤

Thank you for this up-load. fabulous triple sequence !!!

[@jackiewood1603]

greed and trying to be flash - my heart does not bleed

[@louisemagill8295]

They weren't greedy! They were far too generous, if you ask me.

[@basstrammel1322]

@@louisemagill8295 Agreed.

[@janeclarkson8471]

I'm wondering, where did the FIRST AND ORIGINAL owner get such an immense amount of money to build this pile? How did you earn so much. I'm baffled.

[@MaryJaneJones.]

SLAVERY and WAR GENERALS!!!

[@lestermagnuson939]

transition to a hotel, as the seniors err depart, convert their flat to rooms

[@Ayztv]

They are laid back because they have the money to repay the debt. They may not want to use it but it’s in an account somewhere.

[@anncostello5894]

I'm getting on...... I'd love to live there🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wendykarle3114]

The Albury Park Mansion "flats" are gorgeous! 2024

[@stephk9841]

A google search shows they no longer own it though…

[@ivanolsen7966]

19:08 ... what is with the floor in the reception space ... later to be carpeted

[@edwardwilliams3216]

23:02-23:45 was comedy gold

Marvellous. Thank you.

[@surreygirl2075]

I was going to look at the mansion but it would of been dark so I didn't see thee mansion thanks for showing the mansion in surrey

[@pmc8119]

I can see why Nigel is on to his 2nd wife! She cannot or will not speak up. He didn't "save" her, she trots behind him like a puppy.

[@MrPantss]

I would love to live there, stunning apartments looking online.

[@kimnambiar5884]

Surprising, the service employees also don’t put their brains to good use! Seems like owner has given up with his son’s death and his wife is struggling with knowing what to do.

[@lorrainebennett7528]

They seriously show a prospective buyer a bomb site then an apartment that someone actually lives in??!

[@kimnambiar5884]

[@patcardiff2563]

My goodness this property is a dream just four thousand for a wedding now wonder they are in good business Chateaus in France not half as nice as this beautiful building charge thirty and forty thousand per wedding

[@anncostello5894]

Lovely couple ❤

[@LOLO-lm7pr]

Tractoring is his way of avoiding EVERYTHING, he should not be married, nor have kids, he should only just tractor and the wife can do much better with someone who wants to face life not drive away from it.

[@lucyvan2010]

Exactly

[@3506Dodge]

You can pay US dollars for renovations in England? How odd. I'd think they'd want to be paid in pounds.

[@theakeane6458]

Gave the old chef the heave-ho and stemmed the leak.

[@Amanda-ee8oh]

What’s hilarious is that this is supposed to be the upper classes. Yet if you look at their cash to debt ratio they are poorer than a majority of people 😂

[@thomas2much601]

Their not upper class, but, they are decent people.

[@motheroftwo5551]

It's called inherited debt. Most of their ancestors may have been considered upper class in their time, but with each generation more debt had occurred.

[@steveroperfilms]

Part 1. What happens to the apartments when the Bank forecloses due to Aristocratic incompetence?

[@deborahduthie4519]

A wonderful Apartment Renovation that should be for sale for at least $1,500,000 to gain three units value at sale... and the renovation with only minimal profit, at least. think greedy to stay ahead, these days, when the Bank has you over a barrel, especially.

[@TaniaGarciaduenas-f4f]

❤❤ yesss

[@nixm9093]

I feel sorry for Adrian, he's burning the candle at both ends. They need the income he's bringing but it means their dream is dying. I think he's worn out

[@themadplotter]

The acting Londoners are so annoying, boy looks like he was found wanting 😂

[@jackiewood1603]

oh no - dont let the plebs in - god help us

[@dbentleyto95]

ADRIAN!!!

[@nixm9093]

Poor bloke

[@CheekyFest]

If it's in Surrey, UK, it doesn't cost Dollars

[@file13whereareyou]

I wouldn't put up with Nigel.

[@donaldlilly495]

Sixteen hour workdays, paying the bills, taking care of his family and he is having his masculinity and ability to provide attacked. That is why he is defensive and depressed looking, Overwhelmed.

[@NenadKorea]

Why does everything look like its 90s?

[@AizonEligenne]

Well if you have money.. why not

[@whynotnailsdarlington5165]

Very noisy music

[@rjlaxvespa1742]

Nigel seems to be sort of a sour grumpy lazy sort, I would hate to be waking up with that... especially since Nigel put them in the mess to begin with-- life partners are supposed to be there for the long run... LAXVESPA-LOSANGELES

[@thomas2much601]

16 hours a day, the man is over worked.

[@gookimomor2460]

I would love to see a parody of this where the owners end up living in a tent homeless on the streets and the host of the show is to blame

[@janeclarkson8471]

Would be good BUT I couldn't blame at all, the host. She is brilliant. The couple are at fault (as they are and full of upper crust arrogance). Mine would be a comedy drama and these two looking dimmer and more idiotic as it goes along. The end would be host OWNING the house and succesful. Those 2 end up as gardener and a scullery maid.

[@file13whereareyou]

Did Adrian have a side piece?

[@nixm9093]

I think not, they really need his income.

[@jackiewood1603]

oh the arrogance of entitement

[@angerjane]

Ruth's disregard for the residents is callous and foolhardy. Afterall, she ain't no spring chicken.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

No, the old crinklies need to be either kicked out or packed off to the basement or something. They aren't paying their way. They need to get in some younger ones who will pay lots of big service charges and turn a profit.

[@angelbulldog4934]

​@@PreservationEnthusiastI wonder if you'll feel that way when you're old.

[@katyss9128]

@angerjane What’s her age got to do with anything?

[@katecrossrhodes]

Silly woman

[@rabbitcaroline666]

So they have organized a charity event to help animals, but at the same time they serve the bodies of dead animals? Cognitive Dissonance at its best.

[@angelbulldog4934]

I love animals. I eat meat. Got a problem with that?
