I think I'd want to be assured that the source of the leak/damp had been remedied before making an offer on that apartment. It had affected more than just that one ceiling.
I AGREE! that much moisture in the walls and the collapsed ceiling tells you the WHOLE BUILDING is compromised. The contractor who quoted $1000 was just quoting a small piece of the overall project that needs to be done and I wouldn't trust the owners of the building to properly fix the roof because they already screwed up once. She could patch that ceiling and be faced with a repeat in another 5 years or whatever. But then again, this show is staged and I think they just wanted to present the extremes of the price ranges and conditions of those houses.
It needs a new roof! That many tens of thousands of pounds. And the seller no doubt has insurance; so the insurance will pay for the damages. Plus the building association has a financial responsibility. My guess is the building will do a new roof. Insurance will fix the flat. And the new price will be much higher.
To be fair, that’s what makes this show more realistic. It’s highly unlikely for a person to look at a small number of properties in a few days and actually buy it. Although throughout the 20 plus years this show has been on the air, they’ve been quite a few people who have bought a house that was shown on the show. And they’ve done updates on like 100 couples.
Check the later seasons (series) - I think they are up to something like 38 seasons so far - these early ones are not as satisfying as the later ones where they almost always have at least one sale (they do 2 sets of buyers in the later ones)
This is around 20 years ago, the start of the show, maybe series 1 or 2. I would totally disagree, just because the prices aren't current, how does that invalidate watching the show?! Sorry to sound a little scathing, but you're probably one of those people who are only interested in the value of something on The Antiques Roadshow rather than the item itself, which is a bit sad, there's more to life than just money.
@@Chillmax 20 years???? How were we supposed to know that? You ARE unnecessarily scathing in this case because the price comparison between properties is RELEVANT to the topic of house hunting. But aside from the current argument, I've been complaining for a long time that TH-cam should require all channels to indicate the original pub date. It's a real problem with news stories as well.

Right could have been much worse.
I would never consider buying a house that wouldn't allow me to keep my pet.
That poor cat deserves a better mommy.
She was also quite clear she wasn't its "mommy". The poor cat could definitely have a better companion.
She also made clear that the cat could go to her father who has a wonderful garden. That actually would be the best decision for the cat, lol.
what's wrong with grandpa?
This is my favorite channel! Sometimes disappointed for the buyers, but so fun to watch! I adore Kirstie and Phil💕
BEAWARE of that moisture....There is probably mold under that ceiling....DANGER DANGER!!
The building association should pay for mold remediation.

Cats are not disposable. Wow...why have one
This is a loooong time ago!
Thank you for uploading. :o)
I've never seen a property actually close on here....do you have any success stories?

Hi beautiful Kirstie I love you and Phil 🍀☘️🙏💜🤗🌷🌹👑😍
Yup he just wanted money. 💰 🤑
Gosh how long ago was this filmed prices are nowhere near these now. Total waste of time watching.
Do you say that about old films too? It's entertainment!
These shows should always include the title "For Entertainment Purposes Only", lol
Um I would strongly recommend not watching house huntin shows if you want the prices to reflect the present day, lol. Prices always change.
