Next disguise idea.... A Locations Manager for a new up and coming film production company. They are always out scouting around for "locations" to film in. That disguise could be a lot of fun too!
When I see these abandoned houses in your videos I can't help but wonder who lived there. Maybe many years ago someone was happy there, maybe a family, or flatmates. I wonder why they left or moved. Anyway, thanks for another amazing video.
It's the land that makes these properties so valuable. Someone or entity that pays 500K will want to tear everything down and rebuild. Then resell it for 5 times what they originally paid. So much for the young couple just starting out and wanting to start a family. 🤷
Was thinking the same. I had a feeling no regular buyer would go for a property in that condition, you’d need a ton of cash to fix it up. Most likely, someone with deep pockets will buy it, tear it down, and build something new. That's why they leave it in that state, some rich person will look past that and just see land.
Doesn’t look like much land given the caravan on the side is not part of the houses land. Planning permission would not like the house torn down and started again and they would want the house looking exactly the same with the same brickwork as next door. So it probably makes more sense just going back to brick.
A young couple starting out wouldn’t want to take on a project of that scale anyway. It’s a good thing really that you have professionals with the time, money and expertise to bring these properties back onto the market.
That HW logo next to "over 60" is for a company called Homewise. They help you buy the house at a discount up to a third off but when you die they get the entire property. I'd say this was quite a scam, although it's legal.
My uncle who recently died did a similar scheme where , whoever it was, gave him so many thousands back once he signed the house over to them. He was allowed to live in it until he died. He died aged 91 and they own the house to sell on now.
@@J.A.Madventures If you don't mind me asking, how do you feel about that and did it work for him do think? From a cold financial perspective, these schemes take assets (that with always perform better than currency) from ordinary people and put them into the hands of big landowners. But of course that's only one take on it.
@@user-s1o3nr532 well he did enjoy his last years travelling etc and he had no children to leave the house to etc, and personally I’d encourage my own Mum to do it and enjoy herself, over struggling just to leave it to me! So I guess that’s why it works for the poorer and makes the rich richer.
1/3 off a house and you own nothing to pass on. theres no reframing that, its a scam. Anyone who uses that either has no family left to pass anything on to or is senile and being tricked into it.
I enjoyed and appreciate you spoke no words for sponsorship ad! Yes please. No words necessary for a fantastic ad. If only everyone else was so creative in their ad section!! 👏
I live in north London and have lived in this house for 42 years. I paid £48,000 for it. Zoopla now reckon it's worth £800,000. It's not for sale. I'll be carried out of here in a cheap pine box. I'm leaving it to an animal charity. Honneur et Fidelite.
unfortunatly many of your countryman look at that 800.000, sell the house and move to MY country, Portugal and come inflate the prices here, they can get a similar house here for half and then burn the rest of the money in cruises and golf
@@280SE ive never been to poutugal been to galica but not poutgal its not the torest that is the problem its the air b and b thats the problem just like in london with the forghen investers buying up the houses and not using them imgration is a prolem in the uk and for propty but its only part of it
Oh I lived in Finchley for many years, that was a long time ago. Without a kitchen or bathroom no mortgage company will give you anything against the property so it will be cash buyers only. Unbelievable the price they sold for, just bonkers. Great video 2x👍
Crazy to think I bought my first property in Barking in 2004, a two bedroom ground floor flat. Ex-Council place and I paid the princely sum of £19,300 for it!
@blackthornhealing Yes! My parents bought a 6 bedroom house in Tufnell Park North London in 1964 for 5 thousand but it needed lots off work. It was a huge Irish area when my father passed away it was sold for 1,4 million we then bought 4 flats in Enfield Town..
Antique cars are becoming very popular in London because anything over 40 years old is exempt from ULEZ (as well as tax and MOT). It's massively inflated the values of older vehicles nationwide.
Can't wait to see what it'll be like this time! Wow...my house after all work was like $205k. Scary how expensive cities are. Live in the country in a nice small town.
London is absolutely fking dystopian. The question for me is not so much how anyone affords to live there but why they would even want to. The only positive i can see, as a disabled non-driver, is that the public transport is pretty good, unlike in the rest of the UK where it's been deliberately run into the ground in order to force people to drive everywhere. All the same, if i had £1.4m burning a hole in my pocket i'd be spending it on something grand or quirky on the east coast, not a mouldy mid-terrace with a spectacular view of parked cars and wheelie bins.
It's not just all the work and money it would take to make these livable, it's the diseases you risk by even standing in them. Imagine being the person living next door to these disasters.
@@J.A.Madventures damn sorry to hear.. I think I am living by one and potentially a meth lab too.. looks like it blew up recently all the windows are black and burnt.. super disturbing I called the police multiple times only because I am genuinely worried for my health.. I don't believe in people going to jail for growing weed but when it gets to the next step up with meth ruining our community i feel different.. this is in new Zealand by the way! Huge meth problem down here..
@@Fabermorrow wow, absolute nightmare of a situation 🤯, I’m in a town not far from Wandering Turnip (David) and both houses next to mine are drug dealers and drug takers! Unless the police can make money out of a situation, they’re not really interested, it’s not worth it for them, especially as there’s so much of it going on! Hope the situation changes for the better for us all soo sad poss! X x x
*That was great !* .. Imagine being one of the neighbours of that grow house ... oh dear. Every estate agent will have a list of local developers who have asked to be given first look at any do'er-up'er houses in the area. And they all passed. Good luck to whoever bought one of those houses you showed us. And regarding the comparison to other cheaper cities, I worked with an expat in Dublin who came from the UK. In the Celtic Tiger boom times he last 18 months and left, telling me "I'm an executive, and I make a good expat salary. But I can't meet my lifestyle expectations in Dublin as the house prices are just ridiculously high". 3 years later, the housing bubble burst and Dublin house prices fell by 58* over 4 years. They are only now, 20 years later, _just_ matching the peak reached in February 2005 ...
Enjoyed watching this! Sadly hilarious :) They should bring the £1 house concept to London, pay the renovation costs only. Never going to happen, it's all a big bubble !
And honestly living in Blackpool is probably equally as bad as living in london although you're probably more likely to get a sharp instrument inserted into you in london if you know what i mean...
@@danielcunningham6727 I moved up to Blackpool from Kent 7 years ago I have never had any problems up here and I have found people much kinder and talk to each other. Not like on the tube in London where you would get strange looks. And everything is cheaper from utility bills, housing costs. Plumber, roofers. And neighbours helping each other out. I am happier up here than down in Kent.
I kept my horses at a yard in Surrey where one of Surrey’s biggest drug raids took place in the house on the land , we had to use this house’s driveway every day and we never ever knew what was happening in side , apparently the doors were rigged to explode If anyone tried opening them 🤣🤣, when the raid was over there was around 1,000 plastic gardening tubs left behind and I asked the police if I could take some so I took a car full and sold them 🤣🤣
for investment of course. With the inevitable money printing that will never stop property value will ONLY go up You buy, you rent and you know your value is always there. The buyers I understand, it is the renters I dont... I would never pay 1 CENT for rent, I would rather live on the street than to feed a parasite
@@JobInterviewsWithDarren "There's a hole in the world like a great black pit and the vermin of the world inhabit it and its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit and it goes by the name of London." - Stephen Sondheim
Great video. I currently reside in Brentford but in the process of moving out of London. For the most part I do enjoy the area but I will be moving closer to family.
I rent in London. Hampstead Heath/Angel way - £2750 a month for a pretty basic 3 story 2 bed house that's had a pretty average and pretty cheap renovation. I couldn't afford to split the rent so we had to get a 3rd housemate. I pay 850 - initially moved to London for creative pursuits in 2010 but I'll be priced out soon.
So basically you are asking for sympathy because you cant afford to live In Hampstead. Good Luck.. Love to see what you think of Croydon, Barking & East London..🤣
@@robh8814 lol sympathy? Nope! He asked what we pay to rent in London and I was just saying what it costs me. I moved here when I was earning quite a lot more and was paying 1200 a month, but my situation changed and now we split the rent 3 ways. I lived for ten years in a warehouse conversion that we built ourselves - lived mainly in Seven Sisters, Manor House and Hackney and rent was around 500-600.
David those houses have done something to your brain 😂😂😂. Very funny though and absolutely mad what they ask for the properties. Thanks for the tour lol P.S. just come across a news article in the Metro dated 2 November. A whole street in Gloucester up for sale for £1.6million … gotta keep tenants but a bargain 👍
Same with my 4-storey terrace in Leeds. London is absolutely bonkers and apparently, utterly broken. For those of us in Northern England and most of Scotland, it may as well be another planet.
Trustafaries, bank of mum and dad, international jetset, househaring, roomsharing, bedsharing, bunkbeds. Much cheaper in the 90s (and prior to that) people inheriting their parents house. Investment bankers and other high paying jobs. People commuting for hours.
Starting work at 14, saved £5k deposit by 18, bought a rundown fix-a-upper at 16% interest rate, sold it for no profit but used that as deposit on better house, worked long hours in the City for the remaining 24 years to pay off mortgage.
London is a lifestyle. It's not all dystopia and doom and gloom. I moved here after getting married. Definitely helps to have two people manage overheads. Husband and I have to work incredibly hard and it's high pressure for sure. But London is an amazing place and certainly a city I hope to enjoy for many years to come. However, I'm sure we'd begrudgingly have to leave when buying. I'm Northern, and there's just no way I can justify a home purchase in London. We got quite blessed with our rental. A beautiful clean home, and an amazing landlord. Maybe we'll get equally blessed when wanting to buy, so we can stay here. Who knows. But London is beautiful. Not for the faint hearted. That's for sure 😂
I really loved london when i visited for the first time from new zealand. I would absolutely love to live their and would work a proper job and be a good chap in the community but there is literally no reality in where i would be able to afford doing so and to have a somewhat normal existence with the income and money i have.
Hilarious! The just-a-bit-too-small suit had me laughing so hard I snorted (never do I snort! lol). When I clicked on this video, I did not expect a comedy routine before the tour. However, when the roof caved in near you, it quickly because a lot less funny.
Bloody brilliant cha cha darling nicely done but on a serious note unless you are a millionaire forget London changed immensely since the 90s too obviously just depressing tbh unless you’re loaded
I bought my North London house for 70K. It used to be a garage but it's lovely and even has a garden. I was clever and had to think outside the box. Obviously it wasn't on 'the market' but nonetheless it was a cute and functional house in London for 70K.
Those tents are being shifted up to county Durham by London borough councils. Homeless people galore from London are being sent without warning 250 miles north. No financial support from the boroughs that send them, just dumped into the roughest, most poverty stricken localities and immediately leaning on the already stretched services.
The "Guide Price" for a property at auction doesn’t carry much/any significance. Often, the guide price is set below the reserve price, meaning it’s impossible for the properties to sell at or even a bit above this figure. The guide price is primarily there to generate interest by attracting people with a low starting point.
Property in auctions ie guide prices are always valued lower at 20-30% less than local market value. And if it doesn't meet its reserve, there's the option of doing a deal with the owner afterwards.
It's fun to rent in London and live there for a while (well I did 15 years ago) but I wouldn't be buying there when your money goes so much further in nice places
I will never get bored of these videos. Please keep showing us how ridiculous London is! That being said I've just bought my first London house, amazingly below the average and near a tube station in zone 2/3. Not a grow house haha! The market down turn in 2024 allowed it, don't see a recovery any time soon!
That first house, an ex "grow house". I wouldn't have thought you could make such big money by growing local London out-of-season strawberries and tomatoes, but hey, each to their own. (LOL) Seriously now though, those grow lamps and reflectors cost several hundred dollars EACH here in New Zealand for tropical and plant enthusiasts to buy. If there is 30 in there at $300 each that's $9,000 ! I guess The Old Bill, your local po-po's, took away any plants they didn't want the old residents to have, but why leave the plastic pots and very expensive lamps behind ? Those size of plastic pots here cost over NZ $ 23 each, just as empty pots. Here in NZ if the po-po find people growing "unapproved vegetation" they seize everything and then later the court will order destruction of all related materials, such as lamps, timers, heaters or ventilation equipment.
I love this channel and I have no idea why I haven't been notified about recent uploads. But I'm dead chuffed to see this again. Hello Turnip, hope ur doing alright. It's soo funny u dressed as an agent 😂😂that's soo funny. You look good in it mate 😂
@wanderingturnip Yeah I'm going to refresh things and regularly check the channel for new videos and I've subbed to ur new channel Yeah,Love that! Converting the wee car is such a cool idea. Your living a cool life please stay safe out there won't ya. X
I am a landlord in London. I rent out a 2 bedroom terraced house with garden, on street parking, recently refurbished for just shy of 2700 a month. London house prices are extortionate and sadly only going up, especially with the new epc requirements coming in.

That London estate agent lingo:
A compact bijou - pokey hole
Does require a little tlc - it should be demolished
Near transport links - the train runs past your window or the motorway runs through the house
Centrally located - it’s a mile away and in zone 6
It’s deceptively spacious - it has nothing in it
A lively area - a crime ridden infested dump that makes the worst bit of Moss Side look like Knutsford
We’ve had back to back viewings all week - not so much as a nibble in a year
That’s the 2nd bedroom - it’s a cupboard
Interesting views - faces an ugly tower block
Stay lucky, mate!

Cha cha 😂😂😂😂 david you are wasted!!..love it! 🎉
So bloody good

Brilliant episode, this. I chuckled mightily and quite forgot that our favourite itinerant vegetable is not really an estate agent. 😄
Absolutely fantastic mate!
brilliant disguise and a great video.
God I loved the estate agent character!! 😂😍 Class! “Cha cha” 😂 You defo need to bring out this dude more often 🤣🤣 Cha cha!!

I kept my horses at a yard in Surrey where one of Surrey’s biggest drug raids took place in the house on the land , we had to use this house’s driveway every day and we never ever knew what was happening in side , apparently the doors were rigged to explode If anyone tried opening them 🤣🤣, when the raid was over there was around 1,000 plastic gardening tubs left behind and I asked the police if I could take some so I took a car full and sold them 🤣🤣
Brilliant, thank you. 😊
Very entertaining, and educational!
Please come back soon. ✌️💚 🇬🇧
🤣😂🤣😂
Why on earth would anybody pay that kind of money, for that kind of sh*t, in a hell hole like London surrounded by zombies.
for investment of course.
With the inevitable money printing that will never stop property value will ONLY go up
You buy, you rent and you know your value is always there.
The buyers I understand, it is the renters I dont... I would never pay 1 CENT for rent, I would rather live on the street than to feed a parasite
@@fft2020 dude paying some rent at a certain time in life is fine... if you have a plan...
The entire London is a hell hole?
🤣🤣🤣

Great video.
I currently reside in Brentford but in the process of moving out of London. For the most part I do enjoy the area but I will be moving closer to family.
Absolutely fascinating Mr Turnip 👍 suits you
Excellent as always! Would love an international version- Hong Kong, Singapore, New York etc
I rent in London. Hampstead Heath/Angel way - £2750 a month for a pretty basic 3 story 2 bed house that's had a pretty average and pretty cheap renovation. I couldn't afford to split the rent so we had to get a 3rd housemate. I pay 850 - initially moved to London for creative pursuits in 2010 but I'll be priced out soon.
So basically you are asking for sympathy because you cant afford to live In Hampstead. Good Luck.. Love to see what you think of Croydon, Barking & East London..🤣
@@robh8814 lol sympathy? Nope! He asked what we pay to rent in London and I was just saying what it costs me. I moved here when I was earning quite a lot more and was paying 1200 a month, but my situation changed and now we split the rent 3 ways.
I lived for ten years in a warehouse conversion that we built ourselves - lived mainly in Seven Sisters, Manor House and Hackney and rent was around 500-600.
Finchley was an area where hay for London's horses was grown.
Great video, im from yorkshire and my idea of a million pound house is the same as yours haha. Turnip property, sales and lettings had me 🤣
Grand pianos and gates are a must 😂
Soooo entertaining. Humour in a craaazy world .
Loved the video,next video disguise as a pensioner with red overall 😊
'Bloody hell that was one of the worst, if not-no actually I've seen worse than that'😂 You always make us laugh Mr Turnip😂 😂
David those houses have done something to your brain 😂😂😂. Very funny though and absolutely mad what they ask for the properties. Thanks for the tour lol
P.S. just come across a news article in the Metro dated 2 November. A whole street in Gloucester up for sale for £1.6million … gotta keep tenants but a bargain 👍
Another great video, Live in London!!! why…..get back up north as quickly as possible 😂
My lovely little 2 bedroom flat in Glasgow is worth £110,000 right now. Transport it to London and It would be sold for a million easily! Insane!!
@@Frazman72 OR EDINBURGH is up and coming.
Same with my 4-storey terrace in Leeds. London is absolutely bonkers and apparently, utterly broken. For those of us in Northern England and most of Scotland, it may as well be another planet.
How the hell do people afford to live in London ??
Trustafaries, bank of mum and dad, international jetset, househaring, roomsharing, bedsharing, bunkbeds. Much cheaper in the 90s (and prior to that) people inheriting their parents house. Investment bankers and other high paying jobs. People commuting for hours.
Starting work at 14, saved £5k deposit by 18, bought a rundown fix-a-upper at 16% interest rate, sold it for no profit but used that as deposit on better house, worked long hours in the City for the remaining 24 years to pay off mortgage.
@artjourney
What year did you buy your first house?
London is a lifestyle. It's not all dystopia and doom and gloom. I moved here after getting married. Definitely helps to have two people manage overheads. Husband and I have to work incredibly hard and it's high pressure for sure. But London is an amazing place and certainly a city I hope to enjoy for many years to come. However, I'm sure we'd begrudgingly have to leave when buying. I'm Northern, and there's just no way I can justify a home purchase in London. We got quite blessed with our rental. A beautiful clean home, and an amazing landlord. Maybe we'll get equally blessed when wanting to buy, so we can stay here. Who knows. But London is beautiful. Not for the faint hearted. That's for sure 😂
I really loved london when i visited for the first time from new zealand. I would absolutely love to live their and would work a proper job and be a good chap in the community but there is literally no reality in where i would be able to afford doing so and to have a somewhat normal existence with the income and money i have.
Wow i can smell the first house from here in the North 😮
I love that English expression, instead of saying something is for sale for x amount you say "It's on for..."
Hahaha!!! That was really fun, loved it, more as Turnip Estates please 😅😂😂
does this feel like watching homes umder the hammer love watching you xxx
You funny af 😂. Great video!
I like your "Jay from RLM" disguise
You should be on 'Homes under the Hammer' David.
Hilarious! The just-a-bit-too-small suit had me laughing so hard I snorted (never do I snort! lol). When I clicked on this video, I did not expect a comedy routine before the tour. However, when the roof caved in near you, it quickly because a lot less funny.
Excellent video as always, thank you!…….AND comedy too!
Real wild house by Raúl Orellana.
Classic old skool Ibiza Balearic house tune.
Oh I love you,so truthful and entertaining.Goooooo turnip.
Nice suit lad, you look like you're about to appear in Miami Vice!.
Bloody brilliant cha cha darling nicely done but on a serious note unless you are a millionaire forget London changed immensely since the 90s too obviously just depressing tbh unless you’re loaded
That last house is absolutely beautiful
you don't get much for your money in London. looking dapper by the way.
I bought my North London house for 70K. It used to be a garage but it's lovely and even has a garden. I was clever and had to think outside the box. Obviously it wasn't on 'the market' but nonetheless it was a cute and functional house in London for 70K.
😍🤩😍🤩😍 You are handsome! Hilarious as a sales manager! 😄
Hi I can’t believe the state and prices of the London house s way to exspencive 😊
Those tents are being shifted up to county Durham by London borough councils.
Homeless people galore from London are being sent without warning 250 miles north.
No financial support from the boroughs that send them, just dumped into the roughest, most poverty stricken localities and immediately leaning on the already stretched services.
Yesss part 2!!
This Content Is The Very Best, My Favourite, Thank You Boss
The "Guide Price" for a property at auction doesn’t carry much/any significance. Often, the guide price is set below the reserve price, meaning it’s impossible for the properties to sell at or even a bit above this figure. The guide price is primarily there to generate interest by attracting people with a low starting point.
they've kinda made that illegal here in Aus
Property in auctions ie guide prices are always valued lower at 20-30% less than local market value. And if it doesn't meet its reserve, there's the option of doing a deal with the owner afterwards.
@@NmpK24 Yes, but it's a bit odd how the guide price can be lower than the reserve.
@@jj-if6it It is not illegal in the UK.
@caparn100 well obviously London is in the UK...
Best video yet, two thumbs up if i could
Turnip cleans up nicely😉
Love your agent impression. 😂
That was brilliant lol. Loved the "chao chao" 🤣🤣🤣 👌🏾💯
It's fun to rent in London and live there for a while (well I did 15 years ago) but I wouldn't be buying there when your money goes so much further in nice places
Excellent mate. I love it!!!
I will never get bored of these videos. Please keep showing us how ridiculous London is! That being said I've just bought my first London house, amazingly below the average and near a tube station in zone 2/3. Not a grow house haha! The market down turn in 2024 allowed it, don't see a recovery any time soon!
your disguise is effing hilarious 🤣
That first house, an ex "grow house". I wouldn't have thought you could make such big money by growing local London out-of-season strawberries and tomatoes, but hey, each to their own. (LOL) Seriously now though, those grow lamps and reflectors cost several hundred dollars EACH here in New Zealand for tropical and plant enthusiasts to buy. If there is 30 in there at $300 each that's $9,000 ! I guess The Old Bill, your local po-po's, took away any plants they didn't want the old residents to have, but why leave the plastic pots and very expensive lamps behind ? Those size of plastic pots here cost over NZ $ 23 each, just as empty pots. Here in NZ if the po-po find people growing "unapproved vegetation" they seize everything and then later the court will order destruction of all related materials, such as lamps, timers, heaters or ventilation equipment.
I love this channel and I have no idea why I haven't been notified about recent uploads. But I'm dead chuffed to see this again. Hello Turnip, hope ur doing alright. It's soo funny u dressed as an agent 😂😂that's soo funny. You look good in it mate 😂
For some reason TH-cam seems not to be notifying everyone like it used to, which is a bit annoying, but glad this one found you 👍👍
@wanderingturnip Yeah I'm going to refresh things and regularly check the channel for new videos and I've subbed to ur new channel Yeah,Love that! Converting the wee car is such a cool idea. Your living a cool life please stay safe out there won't ya. X
I am a landlord in London. I rent out a 2 bedroom terraced house with garden, on street parking, recently refurbished for just shy of 2700 a month.
London house prices are extortionate and sadly only going up, especially with the new epc requirements coming in.
