Where I am in the last 10 years or so areas that had bad storms and not flooded for 30-50 up to now, did flood in a recent one. Lots of 1 in 500 year stuff all coming due at once. Planning for it sounds stupid but it is real stuff.
Not sure if @Property Couple UK remember but in 2019 The whole town of Matlock Derbyshire flooded under 1 meter of water. According to a friend of my it was all over UK news because that had never happened there before.
Being from the US we weren’t sure what “council” meant. Paused the video and looked it up. Very interesting and what an undertaking for you. Ughh I see you have bureaucracy hurdlers (EA)! 1,000 years WOW! You two are truly doing the right thing in building your futures. Very informative video can’t wait for the finished project! ~Cara 😊
Great to see you two, and it sounds like a lot has happened since you were last here in TH-cam. Collin seems like a very nice and informative part of the team. Looking forward to seeing what's next, take care.
Oh I had been wondering about this one! As much as it sucks to lose the high ceilings, sounds like they were a blessing in disguise. As pointed out in another comment, in the past two years my area has experienced once in 1,000 year storms. Sounds like it was a major headache but better to be safe than sorry! Looking forward to seeing the work get started on this project 😄
Very interesting. I develop restaurants in the US. Sounds like the councils are just as bogged down in the UK as the cities or counties in the US are post-Covid. It can takes months longer on average to get planning approval or building permits. Also, the UK flood regulations are similar to the US. Except here, the regs require you to lift the building out of the 1 in 100 year flood zone to qualify for flood insurance.
Hi both, thanks for sharing this project. I have a questionj - Did you buy the property without planning? What would you do if you didn't get planning?
Glad to see your update. Why is there only 1 bedroom on the ground floor? If youve raised the floor to accommodate that 1 bedroom why couldnt you do it for 2 more bedrooms in the middle? Or do you have something else planned for those middle rooms? Just curious as this is really interesting.
Ok, ive just watched again and you are raising the floor at the front only, i assume because the back of the building didnt have the high ceilings maybe, so wasnt able to? Ok i think i get it now 😁
Great news! Thanks for the update! Really love your videos. Thanks for sharing! L&C 👍😘❤️🇬🇧
I love the way AK looks at you while you are talking.
Aww thanks Crinkle!! that's so nice 🥹
Good update. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. It sounds like you are well on your way with this HMO.
FINALLY !! I've been waiting for you two !! Haven't even watched this yet, but I always love them.
Thanks so much!! It's great to be back. Looking forward to sharing updates of our latest project with you
I'm used to watching Joel and Lia but this is cool

Lived in the UK. My question: Why would it take a reasonable time?
The bureaucracy is on another level over there.
I'm so happy for you two that you got through those hurdles. I look forward to keeping up with all your projects! Love you both, auntie Jean xo
Thank you so much Auntie Jean! X
That's wonderful to be at the point of moving forward. Good luck. I know it will look awesome.
Looking forward to keeping you all updated.

For sure! Never stops 😂

That sounds horrendous to be honest. Thank you for your support!
Excited to see the project move forward!
Thanks Cathy!
Very informative recap. Thanks for the update. This is going to be your best property yet, no doubt.
Thanks so much, it's definitely our biggest project yet, so fingers crossed!

What is a HMO
It’s a house of multiple occupancy. Check out our video here explaining: th-cam.com/video/hFyysWxAinE/w-d-xo.html
Hi both, thanks for sharing this project. I have a questionj - Did you buy the property without planning? What would you do if you didn't get planning?
Hey, we submitted a pre-app in the purchasing process that gave us confidence to proceed.
@@PropertyCouple How long did pre-app take? Was vendor aware and was willing to wait?
Glad to see your update. Why is there only 1 bedroom on the ground floor? If youve raised the floor to accommodate that 1 bedroom why couldnt you do it for 2 more bedrooms in the middle? Or do you have something else planned for those middle rooms? Just curious as this is really interesting.

Exactly! We can only raise it at the front where we have the higher ceilings
Dealt with flood zones. Our threshold is 100 year flood plain. The government here is a pain to deal with.
Very cool that your property will be safe from a flood for 1000 years🤣🤣🤣💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Good selling point right….

When is the wedding, ya'll?!
