The Great House Giveaway

Most of the properties are sold off, apparently, with huge losses at below market value so who buys these bargains I can't imagine the show makers are so silly as to make such large losses on most of the episodes. So who actually ends up with these house and how much was finally paid for each one and did the successful couple in the last episode really receive all of the +80k ????? I feel we are not told the full story especially regarding those amazingly high add on charges

Whatched quite a few episodes of this series now having only recently come across it. Far better then the BBC'S Homes Under the Hammer in as much as they do not just gloss over the costs, such as legal fees and other expenses. After watching a episode of Homes Under the Hammer it makes property development look like a licence to print money where here you get the true story and if anything it prepares you for the realities of dabbling in the property flip market. One thing that does stand out from the episodes I have seen is that Tayo Ogungbenro comes across as someone who does not know the first thing about property development. I am sure it's the producers that chose the property and participants but he often says "looks like they have bitten off more than they can chew" when on the face of it he buys a overpriced property gives them the budget and timescale then in effect blames them for not making a profit? Odd really as the episodes with Simon O'Brien seem to be more "we're all in this together" not sure why the producers set it up like this.

What a totally stupid programme and a waste of these poor peoples life. They work so hard, and give so much for so little or nothing at all. They give so much time many have jobs but trying to make a little bit of money to buy their own houses. The houses that are selected for them to buy need so much doing to them, its not until they start work that all the problems are identified. I don't think they are supported, just put down for what they didn't do. So far I have not seen anyone make a profit, only losses and by a massive margin they have given a tiny budget and then the buyers are blamed. The houses are then put back on the market or auction selling some properties at a major loss even after all the work 🤔 I am not watching it anymore

I really like the idea of this show however having watch 4 in a row 3 couples have been given ludicrously small budgets for the amount of work required, I know their expected to do as much as they can themselves but there is a line which is far in the distance. Work your socks off for 6 months for nowt & then get patronised seems to be what it's all about

Homes Under The Hammer meets First Dates meets Changing Rooms. Effectively a cringefest as two people who don't know each other (and often do not get on) are given a house (often bought too expensively) to renovate and end up doing things that are not needed, lose interest, make a poor job of finishing it and spectacularly fail to make any money, especially given apparently exorbitant fees. A programme so flawed in its execution that it almost becomes a car crash to watch - just record it and skip to the end to see how things have fallen apart and how uncomfortable the presenter is this week.
