We Bought a Derelict Victorian Villa 🏚️ 9 months of renovations in 40 mins TIMELAPSE

[@bksbracelet]

That was one of the best round up videos I have ever seen. I have been watching all year and I love the sympathetic work you are doing to a beautiful old home. The narrative as the video was going was brilliant explaining why you and Louie did things. Congratulations on a great 9 months of renovation

[@heidit8009]

I agree! ❤

[@burcukecik4332]

Exactly❤

[@patriciabiddle8627]

My thoughts exactly.

[@larhumba4233]

Well said! 🥰

[@BelgraveVilla]

Wow, what a compliment! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind message❤

[@jaylocked9072]

You know there are a lot of older generation people out there who say young people these days are just lazy and they can't afford homes because they don't work hard enough and are too lazy. You two are defying the narrative of young people and showing a whole new generation what a bit of hard work and ambition and creativity can do! So awesome to watch your journey restoring and updating this estate home and making it your own! all the best for 2025! Hope everything goes swimmingly for you both this year!

[@superjules21]

But i really wanna know how you can have so much money at the age of 23. How is that possible?

[@jaylocked9072]

@ one I think they're a bit older than 23 also I think they explained this they had bought and fixed up each two separate properties. And sold for a profit that means equity to purchase this house which they got for a great deal on 450k in today's world for a home that's really good if they spend another 200 fixing up a villa and restoring as much as possible that also adds value could sell for over 1m.

[@menditsa]

@@superjules21 Who cares about where their money comes from. This video show's a passion from a young couple to do something much of their generation don't have the backbone to do. I think you maybe thinking this is Belgrave in London but in fact this is in Swansea in Wales and they both had their own properties to sell to finance this purchase and they have also taken out loans and been given grants to the renovation. Oh and BTW they are late 20's not early but a lovely couple.

[@romystumpy1197]

​@@superjules21this couple are the exception to the rule,maybe inheritance funds

[@IvanI-v2r]

The amount of likes I get I will give this exact amount of money to the amazing couple🤙

Absolutely the best “renovation so far” video I’ve seen. Excellent job with the voice over explanations, I’ve learned so much from your channel. Can’t wait to see the finishing touches now! Happy New Year

[@BelgraveVilla]

That’s so kind, thank you so much! Happy new year to you too!

[@DeeHigginbotham-mv3gc]

I am at a loss why anyone would paint over that beautiful stone. So glad you were able to bring them back. Your home will be magnificent when you are done.❤❤

[@Marlena-p9h]

You two can be sooo proud of yourself already!!!

[@melodyfisher1512]

Wow! You have accomplished so much in nine months! Well done! This is going to be the most beautiful home. 😊

[@carrieatkinson9850]

I've already watched all of these episodes, but it was was still fun to watch a recap with fun music and lots of time-lapses. Great job you two! You should be really proud of your hard work!

[@ji8044]

You guys are so charismatic together that you make me believe in happy endings again.

[@AprilRaine60]

I just found your channel today, January 4th, 2025. I live in America and I LOVE watching people save old historic buildings! Can't wait to see what comes next.

[@carolynholody9281]

Milly, you and Louis make a great team! All the best to you both in 2025!

[@madeleingrove4833]

Fantastic condensed view of the last 9 months! Your narration was very enjoyable

[@BelgraveVilla]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@yvonnealexander3241]

You guys are so Blessed to have Louis be able to do so many different jobs. Their doesn't seem to be anything he's not able to do. And if he doesn't know how, he's finds out and not afraid to learn. Because of that yous have been able to save thousands and thousands in labor costs. Well Done you two, Your both such hard workers.

[@simplyericaamaro]

Ridiculous amount of work. You guys are my heroes!

[@Janieblueyes]

So fantastic to see a young couple so conscientious and ambitious. Very skilled too. This is going to be a pleasure to watch the progress . You guys should be very proud of yourselves. 🐨💗

[@whitefam2000]

You kids have just made my heart sore, with what you've been able to do since you purchased the building. Difference is, we had children early in our marriage, but we have remodeled at least 5 houses in the last 43 yrs we have been married. You work so well together. May I say that I find your music pics for each video very well done. Kudos to you, and we wish you the best. 😯

[@itsmebillo]

I have really enjoyed this story, which I think of as Hermione & Ron fixing up an old house. Keep up the good work!

[@adelebarnes1315]

If only they had wizard-y powers !

[@Daniper1]

Lol ikr😂

[@seagullsbtn]

Your house is fast becoming your dream home. And the dream home of many many viewers. Well done.

[@laurentbeaulieu4443]

It's fantastic to look at the 9 months of positive change. Congratulations.

[@lauriewhitlock8137]

Congratulations you guys. Love seeing young people with a mission and vision for their lives. Great video and excellent commentary Milly. Can’t wait to follow your progress. Hello from Vancouver Island Canada.

[@sarabazlinton9820]

No idea why I find your channel so fascinating, because I’ve absolutely nothing in common with you! I’m almost 60, and two of my three kids are probably older than the two of you. Following my divorce, I now live in a small 1970’s terrace house which was tired and unloved when I bought it, and the limit of my DIY experience, apart from undoing a LOT of bad decorating, has been ripping stuff out, helping my brother as a labourer when he installed my bathroom, and laying an admittedly slightly wonky patio. But I love watching how you’re restoring such a beautiful old house, and can’t wait to see how it all turns out ❤

[@khill6510]

The music choice for the video is everything!

[@sandrafluharty7212]

Came here to say this!!! They always use the PERFECT music!!!!

[@jenwylie4093]

I read about your channel in the comments of a Jenna Phipps video. I came. I binged. I was not disappointed. You guys are doing an amazing job!

[@stevenhorn9005]

I would love to see a running budget. How are the finances going and where have been the biggest surprises been?

[@GenuinelyJodi]

Wow! Beyond impressive. You have really been meticulous in both covering your renovations, learning and embracing the process and in the work itself. Love seeing this recap.

[@LoriZabielski]

Boy you really came a long way in a short time. Thank you for sharing your journey. I love watching the progress. ❤ take care from Canada 🇨🇦

[@scottbssn]

Love all of your videos, this is quite an accomplishment. Congrats! Louis is the construction Stud!💪

[@SamDaviesBuilder]

Wow, what a job and it’s good to see a house like that being saved and not knocked down for boring box like new builds! You guys must be so proud of all your hard work. Also, the way you have respected the building is amazing. Watching from Pembrokeshire 😃

[@ThePlayhousePals]

That was an amazingly entertaining whirlwind of a recap Milly! Now that I’ve caught my breath 😮 I must commend you on your excellent taste in music as well. Does KZbin give out awards? You so deserve one. Looking forward to what transpires in 2025. Love and admire you two dearly 💖

[@LTFC1964]

I’ve watched every video that makes up this recap but still found it absolutely fascinating and enjoyable. It really captures the vast amount of work the pair of you have completed. You make a lovely couple and Millie your perfect English I could listen to all day long.

[@Andi_Behind_The_Curtain]

A few months ago I sold an over 300 year old farmhouse with a thatched roof because there was so much to do that I had neither the money nor the competence to renovate the house. When I see what you’re doing, I’m more than impressed! 😍

[@danaridings6387]

You guys are amazing! They say home renovations end a lot of relationships. You guys will be together forever after this!! Thank You for taking us along.

[@rhondahewitt8196]

This Texan is blown away how beautifully smart you have secured the support /inner guts of the house so that there are no issues in future. Great kudos for your work and detail to really important issues of a grand structure. Yes it will be a bit more fun once the rooms are designed and made complete. I liked the music you put this video to, it's a bit country western sounding somewhat like our liking is here in Texas. I love historical buildings/architecture and I look forward how you will do each room. God's Blessings to you both.

[@sandrafluharty7212]

Sooooo much work, but so heart warming to see such young people who understand how important it is to preserve old structures and the history that goes with it, rather than letting it go to ruin and replacing it with modern buildings…I love this couple and their perseverance.

[@frankhoebee4908]

Incredible amount of work-intensive labour you have done already in this beautifull old house. I understand why you fell in love with this house with so much charater and potential. I love how you have clearly shown us how the process went in this video with all the ups and downs included. Looking forward to the next episode . This house will be absolutely stunning when finished. Greeting and all the best for 2025

[@dominikfranzen8247]

Ich liebe was ihr mit soviel liebe und passion tut. Bitte macht weiter so ❤❤❤. Hab eine Bitte an alle Zuschauer,, bitte unterstützt dieses junge Paar mit einem 👍🏻, Dankeschön für jeden der die beiden unterstützt ❤

[@jamielonghurst6373]

Happy New Year, Milly and Louie! I have been following your renovation journey. Your dedication to restoring this old house to its former beauty is admirable. Watching this recap, I am blown away by the massive undertaking you two got yourselves into! Wow. You should be so proud of all that you accomplished this past year. I wish you the best of luck as you continue the work in 2025. Have a ball now that you've FINALLY gotten to some of the FUN stuff!

[@atleeriksen8514]

What a monumental task you have started on!! Fantastic!! Looking forward to see further development. You just stay in there and the end result will be worth every penny and sweatdrop..and bruises...and twisted arms and legs.

[@judithmatthews8460]

So many have followed you every step of the way. Feeling exhausted as we’ve watched you staggering up ladders with heavy loads. Been anxious as Louis smashed himself with the tool that fought back. Watching you drilling holes over and over. Laughing along at the bickering banter. Enjoying the music . I’ll miss those views from the top of the scaffolding. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@jezzica007]

The work the two of you have put into this forever home project is incredible, so much respect! Thank you for including us all on your journey!

[@jamesgause9546]

You both will treasure these videos down the road in the years to come. Happy, healthy new year to you both. Great video recap today, good music mix too. So proud of you and all the hard work you’ve put into your new home. Maureen.

[@julieb5745]

I’m so very impressed with you both. At your age it had been so drilled into me to never take risks I would never have dared to tackle something like this. How exciting to see how far you’ve come! Thank you for the comprehensive update.

[@bunnygoddess33]

millie, your commitment to country music cracks me up. ♥️ proud to have you as a cowgirl.

[@revandenbroucke5198]

Wow! You and Louie have done a ton of beautiful work in just a 12 month period. Really well done‼️ Pls keep sharing your progress! 👍👍

[@xwendywoo666]

Well to see 9 months worth of reno in 40 mins was just as exciting as it was back when we saw you doing it all in the first place, give yourself a pat on the back for such love and devotion to your beautiful family home to be, i can't wait to see the colours you choose for each room, oh and happy 2025 to you both ❤

[@catherineburton3988]

Wow,when you watch each week you don't realise how much you've both actually achieved ! ,honestly amazing work ,and with the added music it makes for a really chilled video, hats off to you ,can't wait for the next stage. ❤

[@candicemichellegoddard5419]

I had already followed on for most of these projects but still enjoyed watching the recap. Amazing to see how much you’ve achieved since March!

[@juliaclement3451]

We talk almost every day about what you're working on and I see the progress first hand when I visit, but I don't think I fully appreciated how much you've achieved in such a short time until I watched this video. I'm so impressed by your hard work, enthusiasm and determination and I'm very proud of you, my gorgeous, talented girl, and equally proud of Louis. 🥰xx

[@tracymontgomery8702]

I have been watching along for quite a while but, wow, when you see it all together you realise the absolutely mammoth task that you and Louis have taken on. You are doing an incredible job and it's fascinating to see it all come together. I am so excited for the next steps of actual decorating. I know it will be a lot of fun for me to watch and I only hope it's a lot of fun for you and Louis to do xx

[@Hippiechick11]

The amount of work you've done yourselves is incredible. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[@iu.5146]

The two of you have done incredible work so far. While the scaffolding is still up, put some gutter foam into the gutters and down spout covers. It helps to prevent them from clogging up. Additionally I would spray the roof with a product that prevents the moss from re growing. Next year Christmas you will be moved in. Have a wonderful, productive, successful, safe and healthy 2025.

[@AprilRaine60]

I'm impressed with the genre of music you've chosen, and I'm so happy you don't blare the music so loud that with headphones I don't lose my hearing. Thank you for that!

[@Bronson1886]

Amazing is what comes to mind Thank God for people like us to bring beautiful homes like this back .

[@Hillbilly007-yd9gu]

Looking forward to watching your progress in 2025. Great video.

[@meganfinch1354]

SO pleased you’ve done all that you have to restore this incredible house. To future proof it for yourselves and anyone else! Also this is the best round up video ever. So much detail and everything is so well explained and showed. So keen to see what else you guys do and I can’t wait to see what the final house looks like with all its beautiful details 😍 CRACKING job guys xxx

[@steffikrose]

This is truly a labour of love! So much attention to detail and thoughts about longevity! I love that you bring that old lady back to life!

[@daynagayle]

Great to see my favorite scenes, like you 2 up on the roof with the pots. Great views. This summary video is so informative and it is really encouraging to see this grand old lady getting the support and protection she needs. All the best in 2025. 😊

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

You two are such a delight! It's incredible how far you've come in a short 9 months! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for each new video installment of your unfolding story. Louis excels at the building arts and has a knowledge base and eager ability to learn new skills that makes this look so much easier than it is. And, Milly, you have the most charming onscreen presence and a real flair for videography and editing. And nobody does a tour or retrospective like you do! Together, you're sheer genius! 💞 🎊Happy New Year to you both!🎊

[@Tannhauser111]

Ich bin begeistert. Es ist wirklich beeindruckend was ihr bisher geschafft habt. Grüße aus Deutschland.

You two are great advertisements for your generation - hard working, willing to take measured risks and hugely imaginative. Thanks for posting!

[@lisaferdawg]

Thank you for all the sympathetic work you're doing to restore this beautiful old building! Can't wait to see how you decorate, from what I've seen so far, it looks lovely. Congrats on all your successes so far :)

Wonderful video! Even though I've watched every episode it was superb to see it all again in a recap. Here's to 2025.

[@bwitched3810]

You two are absolutely amazing..I love your channel. Can’t wait to see what 2025 has for you two . Happy New Year 🎉

[@Angel-002]

Even though I've watched all the videos, it's still amazing to see, just how much you've both achieved.....along with lots of helpers too. Your families & friends must be so proud of you both. You've done so much & you must be excited to be getting close to finishing a couple of rooms. I know builders that wouldn't have taken on such a project! I can't wait to see how things develop & what design plans you have for each room. It's going to look spectacular.

[@silke6497]

Unbelievable what you did in 2024 to the house. You guys are on fire. When you first got the house I was wondering if you would be able to take on such a large project. But you can! The house is thankfull for it as I think the housespirits have embraced you being there and putting all your love in it. Keep on going. Can’t wait to see where you will be at next year. Love to visit from Holland one day to see for myself.

[@avacadman2155]

Your choice of music amazes me. Two young people playing music that sounds like it comes from the Appalachian area of the U.S. from a hundred years ago.

[@ac1646]

The choice is such a great metaphor for the love of the house too, "I will write a song about you; how I could not live without you..."; "in mansion or squalor...". Plus so many other great lines. 🥰🥰

[@laurianneclermont4428]

Vous êtes tout simplement INCROYABLES! J'ai rénové presque seule une petite maison datant de 1870 en bois ici, au Canada, et ce fut une extraordinaire charge de travail.
