Do you look for anything not mentioned on the video when you go to a house viewing?

[kaimahindru]

These videos are insanely good. Informative, time-stamped and not trying to sell me a course😂 appreciate it!

[welshhibby]

Such a great video for someone like me looking to buy this year.

[TheScorchie]

This video has helped me big time today. Especially the rough budget bit at the end. Went to view a house today, listed far too high for the state of it. Using your rough budget it would be the 30k or more scale. I didn't walk away.... I RAN away!

[annabelcudworth]

Really helpful and straightforward explanation of refurb costs, thank you!

[johnjoeflanagan]

This is packed full of great tips. Take a bow!

[adamanthony]

Thank you for your work...we have been seeking a first home for two years.

I love learning about real estate in areas I don’t live in just in case I want to move 😂 great video I love the effort !

[sofia]

this was a great video tbh. I know the numbers e.g 7, 21 etc are out dated now but it really does help and the rest of the video helps a lot too, easy explanations and examples of things to look out for as well as red flags

Potential correction: Many local councils offer help and guidance for individuals to safely remove their own asbestos - usually for free. They provide the bags at the local waste disposal center and they properly dispose of it. You must do the removal yourself. DO NOT ATTEMPT UNLESS YOU PLAN TO USE FULL AND PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT, but a grand saved is a grand saved. You absolutely will need a proper respirator and full PPE

Great video. How much do you think those prices have changed since the video was released?

[threat]

Thanks mate, useful video, hopefully it will prove useful in practice

[andrewwest]

Good video, sounds trivial but I got caught out on internal doors recently-never standard sizes on older properties; you can imagine the hassle.

[phillipAckerman-ej]

HI matt
Can you do another video like this as this one is out of date with the cost as gone up
thanks phillip

[normaharvey]

Hi new subscriber love the video very informative 👍

[ToxCcc]

Heard there is a Bamboo crisis going on in some homes that are becoming as bad as Japanese knotweed

[lookatcha]

love the vid, , im from the Birmingham area, unfortunately a lot of it is article 4. I I'm thinking of investing in Nottingham as it as a sizeable student population and terraced houses are relatively cheap there.
Doesn't a property survey prior to purchase highlight any issues with the property?

[simonmeasures]

Hi Matt. I've 8 btls at mo 4 flats 4 terraces looking to move into flipping, refurb, title split arena, likely to include bridging. Could we have a chat?

[kategalaida]

Where are you getting these prices from? I am pricing out a 1br flat in london that needs total repair and the quotes are coming in at 60k-80k... wondering why it's so drastically different?

[SynthSoundscapes]

Wow, the transition to that horrible carpet in the intro was amazing =D
