Thanks for that. I live in the area and there is a transom window between one bedroom and the corridor, obviously to let light into the dark corridor. It works.
We have the same in many UK homes and it is too light come through onto landing and depending on where the bathroom is it lets light shine down the stairs Lisa UK
I just wanna highlight that your presenting has improved so much. Voice control, projection and interaction with the camera 🤌🏾 looking forward to the day this goes on Showmax!
This house reminds me of our house we bought recently. We had to redo EVERYTHING and nothing prepared me for the amount of money that was going to be needed😮. Now we have a house that looks completely different. This one looks like it’s gonna be an exciting one, can’t wait for more videos.
That 'fanlight' is a standard design feature in older homes - described as 'borrowed light', intended to borrow light from a windowed room to light internal passages etc. Older homes also swing doors to conceal private spaces making passages less illuminated
Project C is going to be amazing, can't wait to watch every episode. Flipping Johanesburg should be on DSTV, Netflix, and Showmax! Love how you share such great info to encourage others to get flipping!
Hey Steve, Huge fan of your videos! I was thinking, if you ever considered expanding the operation to tackle multiple homes at once, I might be a perfect fit. I'm a qualified applied mathematician/data scientist based in Johannesburg and I'm on the hunt for a side hustle that aligns with my interests. Honestly, seeing the impact these renovations have is truly inspiring. I believe with a well-organized team, we could pump out many more of these videos on a regular basis. Just throwing it out there! Would love to chat and see if there could be a way to collaborate. Best, V
Glad to see you are back with another video. I have been waiting to see you convert another house and have been very impressed how you restore it back again.
My wife and I love this content can't wait to see what this house is going to look like, your content gives us so many ideas and insight into a business that we want to venture in.. Keep it up great work great channel 🎉🎉🎉
Oh we have transom windows in our house too. They let light in, some even actually open, like in my house they can open up to let air it from the passages while I'm in the safety and privacy of my room. They're very handy and nostalgic in the case of my house as it is an older house, they're above every door and I love them!!!, Love from Zim❤❤❤
Not sure about the "flipping journey" of others. You are at the culmination of all your experience - buying, finance, building, repairing, replacing, plumbing, electrical, work crews, legal, market conditions...and a cash cushion. Very few wannabe flippers have many (or any) or these acquired skills which is why only a few consistently make money. Love the channel and waiting for the final (part 6) your own home.
Imagine my delight when clicking to the vid and hearing that familiar lekker Joburg accent. Easy sub. Well done so far and keep it up. Really enjoy the videos I've watched thus far, very relatable content.
Loving the new challenge. Can't wait to see the progress. Was thinking would you ever take up the challenge of flipping a house in each province. Showing fellow SA the difference in each province. Just a crazy idea 😅. I am from Cape Town and I love your TH-cam channel It is really inspiring and relatable. Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks. What to look out for 💯
His channel is called Flipping Johannesburg. Also there's no value to Flipping houses in Cape Town for instance. High purchase price, very small,tiny square meterage
Hi, as an architect, I enjoy watching your content. Interesting question posed. The fanlight above a door to a passage or any room is to allow natural light into these usual dark and gloomy passages. However, moreover than just natural light, many of these proposed fan lights were constructed to allow cross ventilation for a room enabling passive air exchange in the space. Therefore, this allowed for that, especially in rooms where only 1 window is proposed
I really enjoy watching your videos and expierences, especially seeing this part of SA that Google Maps/Earth doesn't quite manage to help me with my curiosity when I get nostalgic and want to see how far things have come and also just to see SA again. I left in 01 from Randburg. Just wanted to thank you for the time you take to make these videos and sharing your livelihood and passions with us.
Oh we have transom windows in our house too. They let light in, some even actually open, like in my house they can open to let air it from the passages while I'm in the safety and privacy of my room. They're very handy and nostalgic in the case of my house, they're above every room inside my house and I love them!!!
Looking forward to seeing the progress. If i can make a suggestion for you to cover a series for new owners who want to renovate or do budget diy friendly projects but don't know where to start. I watch your videos for inspiration and ideas and want to do so much but have no idea where to start.
You’re really called to do this because when i look at this house I just think 🤢🤕😷. I cant wait to see you work your magic on this project as you always do.
There is no potential here but a definite success. You are correct in wanting to create an open plan between the kitchen, lounge, etc. It would be interesting to see the final render on this. I like this type of neighbourhoods, slightly aged but can be modernised massively, and you have 1000sqm to play with... pretty much a kid in a candy-shop scenario Good Luck, there will be stress, but the fullfillment far outweighs it
watching from Holland . Like the flips . Amazed by the " low " purchase price in comparison to my country . This would buy me a parking space/ garagebox at best . good luck I wil keep watching
I believe those windows at the top of the doors ALSO allow for the removal of hot air during the warmer months as hot air rises. If you closed the door it creates a pressure difference resulting in the removal of the hot air. Basically a manual HVAC system and as @priscillamt2476 mentioned it is used for allowing light into a space.
Love you content! How much more work do you add to you flip filming everything? In my opinion that entrance wall should go. Much nicer to feel that space as you walk through the door
Not to nitpick but so many people make the mistake of saying, "DB board". DB stands for Distribution Board. So why say, "distribution board board"? Otherwise keep doing what you obviously do well. 👍😁❤️
I'm fairly sure those tiles were removed, there's adhesive all over the walls and some tiles are broken. Copper theft was a massive issue all over the world about ten years ago, it's no longer as bad as it used to be.
There’s no one stop shop unfortunately. It’s about asking around, getting referrals, doing research. You need to be careful because there’s bad guys out there. But there’s just as many good guys also! Good luck
I have been enjoying your TH-cam Channel!!! Good advice and things to take note of. Just one thing you mentioned an app that you use where you can design and put / store images for your vision board - Please can you remind me what the app was called?
If you enjoyed the video, please subscribe, like and share! 🙏
You need a construction company for fiłps
Do you sell shares in your company or allow individuals to invest in your projects?

Hi Steve.
Just subscribed...great work.
Just wondering...do you guys offer this as a service ?
Would you guys come out to renovate my property?
Love your work
The reason I like this guy’s videos is because he’s honest and tells you everything and the purchase price and the renovation cost.
the window on top of the door is called a transom window it's purpose is to let light enter the hall way
Makes sense, ty
They also allow airflow through the house when open, whilst still maintaining privacy with the doors closed.
i concur

Thank you! These are the comments that keep me going! 🙏
Wow, I am happy to find such a channel in South Africa. Keep up the good work

Crazy!! I actually know the previous family staying in the house! The place is almost unrecognisable. All and all a great find though 🙌🏻
I can see the potential here. Can't wait for the renovated reveal in a few weeks
A few weeks? That's extremely optimistic. More like a few months

At least this wasn't an infomercial episode !!! Lots of potential.
I am learning, when money allows( by God’s grace) I'll do this as well. I see many houses that need a bit of love so they can sell

The potential is there, blowing the budget is inevitable from what I can see...I'm tuned in until the final episode of this flip

Yay, a new project. Really looking forward to this AND the finished tour of your home as promised. 😀

Watching from 🇸🇦 Saidi Arabia
This house is a mess, even the neighbours will be happy to see this mess being worked on , its a scary mess
Lol, well he did do the flip on the house next door so he will know what he is getting himself into
7:37 These glazed doors offer the addition of light while maintaining a level of privacy that you may require for bedrooms and bathrooms.
Good luck with the flip Steve, I’m a Jozi boy watching from the UK. Love your work pal and looking forward to the progress on your latest project.
I can’t wait for the final reveal, please run a competition to flip a subscriber’s house..😂 my house needs your skills 👌👌
So nice that you guys are making videos of flips in JHB. Am looking forward to following your journey.

it's my dream to do stuff like this, seeing this made me so happy especially because its so close to home.

Super cool! Can't wait to see the final product. All the best!
My project A looked exactly like this, the green and white lol, seems to be a signature in Welties
You are a champ, great job. I am learning a lot from you and you are the best
You’re really called to do this because when i look at this house I just think 🤢🤕😷. I cant wait to see you work your magic on this project as you always do.
Wishing you the very best with this project China. I'm sure it will look so lekker when done.
Transom windows in hallways help with airflow ... especially during heating season in cold climates (like here in Michigan).
This is very exciting😅, I can't wait to see the process and final result!!!

Did you know there is a Johannesburg, Michigan USA? I'm from there! Glad I found your channel.
Looking forward on seeing you on next one.
So much potential. Can't wait for the flip videos
One of my fav series. Keep it going
Awesome! Can't wait for the next episode. Greetings all the way from Worcester, Western Cape.
Super excited to see the transformation.
Can't wait for episode 2 of this project
Can't wait to see the transformation!
Thank you! Love your work 👌🏽👌🏽
I'm excited about Project C. I can't wait to see the final product.
watching from Holland . Like the flips . Amazed by the " low " purchase price in comparison to my country . This would buy me a parking space/ garagebox at best . good luck I wil keep watching
Thank you for tuning in!
I can't wait for the next episode
Wooow I really like watching the house flips cant wait to see when you finish the house❤
Cannot wait to indulge ❤ very informative
800k for 1000m² in my eyes is an absolute bargain. Great find
This is my suburb. I didn't realise there were any abandoned houses here. Interested to see what you end up doing with it.
Cannot wait to see the final product
Can't wait to see how this turns out
Can’t wait to see the progress

I am so excited for this project i want to start this journey ❤
I can't wait ☺️
I am so excited. I am forcing my poor husband to watch with me 😀😀
Oh my God
Impatiently waitinggggggggg 😂😂😂
The more run down the house is, the more scrumptious the flip will be.
Love you content! How much more work do you add to you flip filming everything? In my opinion that entrance wall should go. Much nicer to feel that space as you walk through the door
Let’s goooo!!! Can’t wait to see what you do sir😎
Excited for the flip 😊
Great find. Can't wait to see the process
I cannot wait to see this one🙌🏽🔥
I am inspired, in a process of buying a fixer-upper 🙏🏾
Waiting patiently
Great floor plan
Can't wait for the next episode 😢
Please show more videos. Waiting just for your videos
Quick Question: Do you buy these properties outright, or do you put in an offer with clauses for you to make the changes and then resell?
Not to nitpick but so many people make the mistake of saying, "DB board". DB stands for Distribution Board. So why say, "distribution board board"? Otherwise keep doing what you obviously do well. 👍😁❤️
"DB box"?
Window above the door is a transom. Allows light into the room when door is in closed position
Nice..cant wait for the start of this project
I'm fairly sure those tiles were removed, there's adhesive all over the walls and some tiles are broken. Copper theft was a massive issue all over the world about ten years ago, it's no longer as bad as it used to be.
Wow! This is awesome ❤
Love this channel. It gave me so much inspo to renovate my home 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Definitely want to see how much you will sell it for in this area. Good luck
love the editing
You should see some of the properties in Randburg
We are here
Thank you it was very informative!
For a first time investor, where can I source contractors to inspect the house and renovate it?
There’s no one stop shop unfortunately. It’s about asking around, getting referrals, doing research. You need to be careful because there’s bad guys out there. But there’s just as many good guys also! Good luck
Cant wait 🎉
Just came here to like the video, I'll watch it later;)
I just watched the video and where do you start after this?
Tops..cant wait
How do you get plans approved to renovate so quickly?
How long does renovations take on average i know it depends on each project but just on average?
I would say 4 months
I have been enjoying your TH-cam Channel!!! Good advice and things to take note of. Just one thing you mentioned an app that you use where you can design and put / store images for your vision board - Please can you remind me what the app was called?
Thank you. It’s called Milanote - details in description of the video and 5:15
Leave that one wall. Nice for photos, decorations, bk case.
Damn. Selling part is definitely the backyard. Find a way of adding foldable doors to the patio and outdoors
amazing 👌👌 how were you able to track the old owners?
