- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 เม.ย. 2021
- After eight years in London, Victoria and Aristero are desperate to move back to Mexico so their two small children can grow up with their extended family…But after a year on the market, countless viewings, and a major price cut, their two-bedroom Victorian terrace in Wimbledon hasn’t garnered a single offer. Despite its prime location, the home’s toy-stuffed living room, peeling paint, well-worn furniture, chaotic conservatory, missing banister, and prison-cell second bedroom are turning buyers off.
Enter property experts John Rennie and Sofie Allsopp. They promise to reveal the home’s potential and send the family packing. And while John intervenes to improve communication with the estate agent, Sofie completes the unfinished DIY jobs, and transforms the interiors with fresh furniture and a vibrant new colour scheme. Will their efforts allow the family to say ‘hasta la vista’ to the UK?

Unsellables UK - The Villagonezes - Season 1 - Episode 17
#UnsellablesUK
I can't believe sellers show a raggedy junky messy house and expect people to be interested in buying it. Fix your house up to be sold.
That's the realtor's job.
A real family lived here! nothing wrong!
of course its staged for a sale but I guarantee if a family with 2 children move in- it will soon look the same as these owners!
btw- this couple was adorable
@@cheekypiper512 It's not the realtor's job to clean, organize and repair your house. If it looks like a dirty, jacked up pigpen, of course it's going to put off buyers. Would you drive your car through mud puddles and then slap a for sale sign on it and expect buyers to lap it up? Of course not - you'd clean it and try to present it as attractively as possible. Present it like you want someone to buy it. And fix obvious issues like the wall and the lack of a railing on the stairway.
A decent Estate Agent would have mentioned needing to sort the dangerous stairs & holes in the walls! And been tactful about tidying up kids clutter for viewings.
That is so correct. When I sold my townhome my estate agent told me to declutter, clean and fix all the problems. They told me that this isn't your home anymore and you need to do whatever it takes to sell it. They were very helpful.
If they patched up the holes, they made more holes afterwards with the staged wall hangings. Keep the walls clean of clutter and holes, so no one has to patch them up later.
He might have. They may not have taken the advice.
I wish they showed all the rooms. We didn't see the kitchen or master bedroom.
Well, this comment right here has me turning off this episode. If they're going to show a home as "unsellable", they need to show every room, ESPECIALLY the kitchen.
They do tend to with the Canadian ones. Dont let it put you off because this was undoubtedly the worst transformation Sofie's ever done. She usually does an excellent job leaving you speechless. But yes, with all the shows, they nevet show all the rooms, whichbis disappointing.
More than likely it’s all a pig’s sty.
@@Linda7647 Even if they are already perfect (...which I doubt), Sophie should show the other rooms, and give positive feedback.
Sandra WestleyUK, they don’t show all the rooms because they’re not going to decorate all the other rooms they just chose the worst rooms, the ones they are going to do a makeover
I can never understand how the owners can’t see why it doesn’t sell
No. Homeowners who are accustomed to gradual deterioration and disarray really can’t.
So sad these people don’t assimilate.
@@SuperDeut4 There have been plenty of English on this show who couldn't see. What does assimilation have to do with it?
This channel is about stupid owners of dirty, unkept properties. How is that they are not ashamed to show their faces?
These people? First time viewer?
They're used to how it looks, and live inside it. They think people should be able to look past it (the mess isn't going to be there once they leave after all) but SO many people cannot see past bad decor or just decor that isn't to their taste.
Oh this episode was absolutely wonderful! The couple were really lovely, they were just exhausted parents. I love how the seller Victoria and the agent finally understood each other. I've struggled with John in so many episodes but here he really shone, that and Sofies complete transformation, I'm not surprised there was a bidding war. Absolutely fabulous episode 💖💖
The dust on top of sun in conservatory is driving me crazy! :) I'm no clean freak but the room is so beautiful... the dust really stands out. All rooms look fresh and vibrant!
Renee S Yes!! It was totally bugging me, too!! All that painting and cleaning and nobody thought to wipe off the sun! Aaaggghhh!
Decor on living room coffee table was also covered with dust.
Thank you! I thought it was just me, lol!
Love this show, so much of these ideas are still relevant today - not just for selling but for a nice refresh of the home you plan on staying in
Glad it turned out well for this couple. I liked them. Also loved the colour changes this time around - full marks for Sophie on this one :-)
I find it hard to believe that people think it's ok to try to sell a home in that condition, especially back then in a very difficult market.
They don’t want to spend a couple thousand on making it nice 😮 they are expecting a buyer to do it when they move in and 9/10 don’t want to change the asking price to allow for the money the new owners will have to invest . Hence the house doesn’t sell 😮
In uk you can drop the price to a reasonable level and sell ‘as is’ that is everything in it except personal junk. Often done when inheriting after a death❤in this way no one expects much and the house is sold . No need to make it nice. Just de clutter only.
That staircase is still unsafe with those open stairs. I wouldn't let toddlers on it.
Agree. But it'd be a cheap & quick fix if you really liked the house, to add spindles & bannister on the other side.
@@sarahholland2600 No need for spindles, just a handrail.
I hope they had a baby gate at the top of the stairs. No way I'd let that stair remain that way with kids in the house (or even without). This is why in the US and many other places building codes require railings and risers on all stairs. Personally, I really love the look of open stairs like that, without rails and risers, but they just aren't safe, especially for little ones. Of course, at least on handrail would be a must for me.
@@sarahholland2600 No need for spindles, just risers so kids don't fall thru!
Definitely needs risers and non slip on the steps. Very dangerous for anyone. I nursed a poor young man who had acquired brain injury after falling down stairs. People don't take stairs as seriously as they need to.
✨💖✨Adore the young the family. Sophie did a beautiful job. The child’s room is my favorite. Most importantly, was letting us know in the end that buyers were in a bidding war over the property. Loved hearing that.
Love the couple, hope Mexico is your place to be, at least no more dreary grey skies🙂
The transformation is amazing! Sophie has an amazing eye for decor! The couple was very cute too, very happy for them. I love this show! 💖
What a lovely couple! And the house looks amazing. No shock that a sale came immediately. 💙
What a lovely couple. So happy they were able to get a sale. And, for more than the asking price.
I have moved many times and I am a tidy person but every agent says depersonalize and declutter. By the last three houses I had that done before I called the agent. The first people that looked at my last sell turned in an offer ten thousand over asking - we took it instead of hoping for a bidding war. Do exactly what she does before you list it so agents don’t show other houses first. They want a sale so they favor houses that will sell. These two do a great job.
I get that there are toys everywhere and I also get that a neat, clean home is more attractive to buyers. But sometimes, when you're a buyer, you have to look past all of that because it's not going to be there when you move in. A lot of the complaints in this episode were pretty petty.
All true, but that isn't the reality.
What they need are tote bins to pack and store the toys. The floor is not a storage bin.
Lovely sellable result. So bright and cheerful. The bannister rail was fantastic, it would be a game changer.
We can’t paint the stairs or even clean them? They were full of dust.
Even after the makeover, that sun on the wall in the conservatory was *still* full of dust!! I couldn't believe they didn't give it a quick wipe!
They created a pig’s sty. Very dirty people.
Great transformation. I love the new banister but if I were the homeowner I wouldn't have kept those cat scratched sofas. I would have gotten rid of them, especially if I was going to as far away as Mexico. It's not like they were going to take them with them when they go.
In Canada the homeowner is never at a viewing....that’s why you have a realtor and paying them
In the U.S. too.
Realtors on the U.K. are even lazier than ones in the U.S.
@@rzu7120 Realtors in the UK are only paid 1.5 % commission.
@@lesliecas2695 OMG, in the U.S. the listing agent gets 3% and the buyer's agent gets 3%. I'm getting ready to list my house with a discount realtor: $3,000 to list on the MLS and 3% to the buyer's agent.
in Australia too. The agents insist on owner absence and rightly so. Owners dont relax enough to connect with the would-be buyer; they are mostly not aware enough of the nuances of the selling process; also the prospective buyer will give more truthful and useful feedback to the agent than they would to the owner's face.
21:57 and what about the floor and wall part missing in the left right corner of the screen? Not gonna fix that???
You could buy a castle in Scotland for that price! And be surrounded by stunning countryside..
I think the furniture placement and delineation of spaces in the first/main living area made way more impact than just adding a lampshade and pillows! It looks so much bigger!
Crap painting job. When they can't be bothered to remove the outlet, and switch plates, that's just lousy work.
Very surprised at the wall color choices. The conservatory choice was the least offensive. Yellow bedroom and dark living room are far from neutral.
I agree. The Buyer should ask for a price reduction, to repaint the walls. The whole point of renovation is to add dollars to the asking price.
But the decade this was made people had bright colors on walls.
Just awful colors, sorry.
In the U.S. any modification to a staircase would require new stairs as building codes keep changing. Rise and run seemed very small. Maybe age would grandfather it to remain? Maybe that is why they didn’t close the step part, maybe if they did that it would be a total rehab job because of codes?
So funny that the spackel the banister holes with a kitchen knife
I know-not very professional!
The wall colors choose aren't today's colors, nonetheless all the declutering truly helped the sale.
Yep, selling a house is well; insulting. I don't care how great your house is there's always room for improvement. In the USA our market is crazy right now. It's a seller's market but with that said; you will likely need to upgrade to sell. My realtor, tough love, showed me many things that I needed to do. I couldn't get the whole list done. But, with her help it not only sold; it actually had two bidders/offers at the same time; which meant I got more than the asking price! I couldn't believe it because it wasn't the best property to begin with and I knew that.
Great as usual- weird that they didnt paint the stairs to match the bannister. That would put me off.
Really, you wouldn't buy it because the stairs were a different color -- that's such an easy diy.
@@loriannrichardson7644 It would make me offer a lower price- but they did well in the end. I just find it hard to believe a designer would present it like that when it is an easy fix. What else have they done on the cheap?
@@v8infinity8 They painted over wallpaper in the yellow room instead of removing it, patching the walls appropriately and painting. And put new holes in the wall for their wall hangings. Maybe the budget was "cheap". You can only do so much with limited time and money. The goal is to get the house sold, not renovate. And that's what they did.
@@virginiamoss7045 They only needed to paint one board up the wall to even it up. Everyone makes mistakes. They probs ran out of time. Thanks for your efforts in explaining your POV to me. Have a nice day.
Since varnished you would have to sand it. All those crevises going under the stairs and well. @@loriannrichardson7644
Don't blame the cat for clawing the sofa if they have not provided it something appropriate for that; also, buyers are not buying their sofa now, are they?
I have a cat..he doesn't scratch my furniture..he has his scratching posts..and I put catnip on it !! He loves it!!
They just needed to buy a slipcover, that would hide all the eyesores in the sofa.
The problem with these sellers is that have lack motivation and especially buyer folks have lost their ability to imagine and create which have increased prices and the banks love that aspect. All those "up to specs" jack up the prices and over 30 years.
I used to work for an Estate Agent doing viewings 20 years ago. There were always clueless sellers & buyers who couldn't see past clutter & grim decor! I used to have to 'paint a picture' of how it could look for them. And we gave tactful feedback re comments on mess & nasty decor .
@@sarahholland2600 There seams to be an increase of those clueless buyers because 97% of these are in visible pristine condition. My neighbor move in and 1 yr later moved out and he spent one year having folks remodel and only earned $135,000 profit. He sold it $200,000 less than what Zillow valued.
That was a lovely story. The house turned out adorable.
I have seen quite a number of these fixed up ready to sell shorts.............I'd like to see how successful they were. Some of the changes were not much to write home about
Thanks for uploading these shows.
"Property chain", "no chain on it," refers to "contingent upon the sale of ANOTHER property."
Such as, putting an offer on a new house, that offer being CONTINGENT upon the sale of their former home.
I'm NOT entirely clear how they are using the word/phrase in this video, with this property.
Anything they don't plan to send to Mexico should be tossed or sold. Don't wait till the house is sold. Like how he blames the condition of the house on the wife yet doesn't expect hubby to fix things up.
Hubby admitted to drilling the holes on the stairs and just leaving it, saying he is no handyman. And if you are someone's wife, you would be unlikely to go around cleaning up after them by filling in holes!
They were just both really clueless as to presentation and sales skills. Like a lot of people are.
@@elipotter369 as well as what home ownership entails!
Love the light and floors in this home
Sellers should Always box up and store most furniture and rarely used things-- more than declutter!
Always clean and everything put away
Use areas in the expected way
Make conservatory as plant room only
Kids room as nursery-- keeping all toys in it-- not in the living area.
These places make me laugh. I grew up in a real estate family and we often bought properties to flip. Dad taught me to have the ability to look past these kinds of problems and look at the actual house not what is actually in front of you. Also Mum and Dad’s cardinal rule was no vendors in the house during viewings
I LOVE this show!
Why does the agent not tell the owners that they need to declutter and fix the holes in the wall, etc.?
Sophie usually does.
Really love this show.
Me too. When I first found this show I kept watching it for 3 days straight. Binge watching.
@@nancyfahey7518 me too.
Listening to their accents, I am reminded of two friends from Seattle, Washington, who traveled to London for Christmas. Wish I could.
This was one of my favorite transformations!
How difficult is it to pack up and minimize your crap if you want to sell; you're going to have to do it anyway.🙄
Excellent result, easy to decorate with such great artwork on hand.
Sold a few houses, once when 6 children 13-6 months were in residence. Important to have a place for everything. We had a realtor visit drill where everyone had a job and never took more than 20 minutes to clear up. Important when you want your house sold.
Lovely couple!
Those 3 friends who came to see the changes, at the end were definitely either 3 sisters or 3 cousins -- so much resemblance!!
Yay! So happy to hear he outcome!
Crime and death is always a disclosure. If not disclosed, buyers can rightfully sue. BTW, lots of people hate yellow. Off white, very pale gray, soft white, not a stark white is best.
Colors go in and out of fashion. Harvest gold and avocado were quite trendy at one point but pretty sure they would get a spot on the list of don't for selling a home today.
It’s a second bedroom often used for kids and gender neutral. Color was the thing that decade. I hate off white. It was the fashion in the 80’s. Followed by bold colors like Hunter green and burgundy and peach. Followed by earthy greens and browns. Followed by grays and white. I’d love a yellow kitchen but my husband hates yellow. We sold our house in 2002 and painted the main areas white before the sale. It is easier for the new owners to paint over and easier to live with no matter couch color, etc…
18:41 again, cutting corners by painting around the switch plates/covers instead of taking them off; every episode I've seen, so far.
21:54 I guess it is too tight to bring the balustrade to the end of the stairway.
Enough with the apologists screaming "The kids have gotta live there." Well, the $500K house has "gotta sell," which is much more important than wrecking a toddler's afternoon. Buyers shouldn't have to step through acreage of toys and blankies and all that crap that new parents find so adorable. Get over yourselves, the kids won't even remember this. The house had good lines, it had just been reduced to an ADD person's nightmare. To me, this was one more house that they needed to vacate and fix up before wasting months on the market.
Love how this turned out, so many great decor ideas
I was intrigued with the episode until the taupe showed up. It's not a color I would want to stare at, throughout the day. It's not neutral.
The prices of houses in the UK is SHOCKING ! A dump sells for $200,000! And they are
serious ! A $200,000 house where I live in North Carolina would be a mansion, and surely
not attached to another dwelling ! I couldn't live like that !
This is next to London. Look at the prices in the vicinity of New York and you'll see that they are equally horrendously expensive.
Big change for the better. I do have to say however, I noticed a lot of dust on various decor pieces like the "sun" on the wall in the conservatory, the statue on the coffee table in the sitting room, etc. and on the stair treads.
Mexico is cheaper when you have a family and you may have more family support/child care if you have family there. The only problem is jobs. But if you have money saved up or coming in from the US or another country you live very well.
Why didn’t they dust that sun sculpture before popping it back up in the sun room? But other than that, it looks great.
In the states....the agent does not let the owners on the property when viewing...
Why do they never show bathrooms? Are they worse than the rest of the house? Ye gads!
The owner has a right to some privacy so they just deal with the rooms they can cover with the budget they have.
Queen Bee, I have always wished for the same: a full & complete view. Even though the bathroom might not be on the renovation list, if I got the chance to SEE it, I might realize for myself that it's a hidden stumbling block!!
@@twistoffate4791 in this case, it doesn't seem like the bathroom was an stumbling block because after the simple renovations, the house had multiple offers and sold quickly.
@@ituesday24 How excellent. Glad.
They live in a very posh neighborhood and the inside of the home looks like it is in MX! Why do they think anyone would pay to buy a dirty, unkept, broken down house? Almost afraid to guess what their kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms not seen must look like😶
The kitchen, bathroom and one other bedroom weren't the issue, considering the house sold very quickly after the mini renovation
Mess, dirt and holes are not specific to nationality. A lot of people think this kind condition is normal and they are comfortable with it.
I had Australian tenants in a brand new apartment, and they did more damage then I would have made in 20 plus years or ever. Holes in walls , food spilled and left on walls etc.... They considered this kind of condition normal wear and tear.
Those stairs are better but still not safe for children!
Sunroom looks great but cactus and heavy marble balls at kid level?? Also the stairs are still a deathtrap with the open steps. Smh.
I question the state of the other rooms we are not shown. Plus if I purchased that house, I'd tear out the staircase and build a "real" one worthy of a home. (And that back garden looks like a dump.) I very much like Sophie's Canadian projects.
I am wondering if they could do the banister, handrail without a permit and having to redo the entire thing if they had to close the steps would have required a permit and a lot more demolition. Thought it was odd stairs not painted. But that is a job for owners not sellers. The next people may not have small kids. It just needs to be reasonable safe for most people. Imagine a homeowner hurt their foot, got home and then had to go upstairs. They need something to hold onto.
The male side kick is superfluous!
Such a cute family
All the decluttering and painting looks great. But why not go ahead and dust off all the decor.
They might as well get rid of the furniture and other junk. They’re not going to pay to ship it to Mexico.🌶
And even if they were, they'd have to pack it up ready to go anyway. What strikes me is Mexicans wanting to return to live their lives in Mexico to raise their children when parents in Mexico are sending their children alone over the southern border with Mexico into the US to give them a better life. I think they are just not making it in Wimbleton where they don't fit in and can't afford it. Still, a lovely couple and they can take care of their parents in Mexico; real decent of them.
@@virginiamoss7045 those are odd assumption. Not all Mexicans are trying to run to the U.S. There are people in Mexico who live happily, safely and successfully.
As for them not being able to afford Wimbledon, we don't know their finances. They said they want be closer to family and that's perfectly reasonable.
@@virginiamoss7045 Most of the people coming through the southern border are not Mexican. They are fleeing the repercussions of US funded coups in Central America.
@@jenna6149 This is true, but there are many lawless areas in Mexico where they feel they have to flee because of the drug cartels which are supported by those in the US who do drugs.
@@virginiamoss7045 Holy crow. Best to back off on these assumptions and stereotypes you have in your head.
Why no bathrooms shown on this channel?
Why is the realtor acting like he had anything to do the process? Lol
Lol 5:19 I thought that was a bear behind him and I'm yelling dude why aren't you afraid for your life right now! 😅
No apex predators in Great Britain
it DOES look like a bear!
Silly city folks!
The only problem was even adults felt unsafe on stairs. That fixed it is all fine.
the street view is drab and cluttered and doesn't match the standard of the adjoining residences. #1 the 4 bins and buckets needed to be stored out of sight at the back. #2 the dull black doormat needs to be swapped for a fresh, coloured one in say terracotta; #3 the raggedy hedge needs a sharp tidyup trim; #4 the dull hanging plant needs to be replaced with a cascading bright red flowering plant, maybe a geranium. these are all cheap and easy fixes. Finally the all-white facade looks boring and basic, the wall needs to be painted a colour that contrasts with the white window frames - a neutral e.g. beige (like other houses in the terrace) would be a no-brainer.
The garbage is picked up in the front. There is no way around the house. It’s not uncommon to have trash bins in front.
@@kristinesharp6286 good point. I've seen the following solutions look nice: put a trellis in front of and beside the bins to create a bin bay and grow flowering creepers over it; or put 2 or 3 big potted trees/bushes as a screen.
Beautiful babies. Hope they find their dream life in their home land of Mexico. Xx
Think I might become a real estate agent at one point. Me and my mom managed to sell 3 homes for sale by owner. I did most of the marketing. Made brochures. Took the photos. Wrote the description. Put up the listing. Even set up open houses nDidn’t have the mls but it still sold. We made a decent profit on one house. Even managed to convince a buyer to buy in cash without real estate agents so neither party had to deal with agent fees. Just attorneys. My mom didn’t really stage or take any of my advise. We did try to declutter and always made sure the house was put together for showings. Mom basically packed thing to declutter because she was determine the house would sell. No holding back. Wish mom would stop selling though. I’d like to actually stay in a house and live a little. 🤣
WHY would he beat up sofas be put in storage? So they can ship them to Mexico? Worthless. Also, painting over wall blemishes visible in the yellow makes NO sense! Fix it! Why the Realtor did not insist the seller be GONE for buyer visits is incomprehensible, always done in US!
I would be seriously annoyed if my agent was too gutless to tell me I was damaging sales prospects - he's incompetent.
Sandra WestleyUK, we still leave the property to be sold by the agent, our house is on the market at the moment and had 8 viewings at the weekend and we just left the agent to show them round. The seller sounds just like my husband, sticks his feet straight in it, he cannot think on his feet what he’s saying.
Loved this show, but I didn't see how much they spent on the reno.
I'm looking for a sofa at the moment , so I'd say that type sofa is approx £1000 minimum from similar I've seen. The white wrought iron day bed is around £200 on Amazon. Then cushions & ornaments at least £75. (The cushions look designer )
@@sarahholland2600 I suspect the furniture was rented for the duration. The cushions were sewn and stuffed; simple to do if you can sew.
They never tell us. I suppose because monetary figures become out of date over time.
This is why I enjoy HGTV (Home & Garden Television) here in the U.S. The budget is never kept a secret on their shows.
Some shows show how much she spent. Usually it is around $5,000.
Why is it houses miles out in north London are thought to be part of London, whereas Wimbledon seems to be cheaper and not seen as London?
I wish they would have painted the steps.
Holy cow. That place was worth a fair bit 15 years ago. I wonder what it's worth now
Is the living room counted as a bedroom as they're not showing the first bedroom?
How do you know if you actually helped? You don't seem to do follow-ups...
To move to Mexico they would have needed to get rid of a lot of their stuff else it would be a small fortune to move the old furniture and toys the children. O longer play with.
Wow a bidding war , what a transformation. Nice people too
i think the rug under the table should be bigger and with a bit of pattern. just my opinion. i like thus show! 🌸
How much was the renovations?
They never tell us which is a bit frustrating. I suppose as time goes by those figures become dated.
They typically spend less than 1K.
Would it kill you to tell us what a chain is? And couldn't someone take 2 seconds to wipe the heavy dust off that lovely sun wall hanging? Other than that, great job on the part of both hosts.
A chained free sale is one where the seller does not need to buy a house before theirs is sold.
@@lesliecas2695 Thank you. So, I guess that's like selling contingent on being able to buy another house. I don't think that would go over well in the US. We generally buy a house contingent on the sale of our existing house (and of course, financing); it says so in the sales contract. If we can't sell our house within a certain amount of time, we lose the house we wanted and the backup buyers have a crack at it. We can make a sales contract of our existing house contingent on our ability to find and close on another house, but few would want to wait, making it difficult to sell, and it would rush the hunt for the next house where we would have to wait for the chain to catch up. Chaining seems unworkable and stressful. Moving house is stressful enough.
@@virginiamoss7045
That still sounds like a chain. It's still buying a house where the owners of that one are also buying a new house or if you are selling your property too which is what a chain is.
Chain free is when there's only 1 house with neither the buyer or seller needing to sell or purchase another property to be able to proceed
They had a few beautiful ornaments. I would have liked to have seen the master bedroom, bathrooms and back yard. Great transformation for a cool couple.
What a lovely couple
£510K 15 years ago for 2 bedrooms oh my goodness.
I think that in addition to the points so validly raised, the ugly windows have further reduced the appeal of what was a Victorian house
Why don't we every see the kitchen and bathrooms?
Awwwww what a beautiful family.
Does every inch have to be covered in toys? They couldn't at least put a railing on those stairs, clear out some junk, or fix holes in the wall? They think someone else wants to pay 500K and start fixing the mess? Those are hardly huge jobs. Get off your butts.
Have they never watched literally any selling show? Presentation is for the buyers, not you!
Too often they do not show the kitchen. Or the other bedroom. Is that where they stored all the extra stuff? Disappointing.
What about the kitchen and the master bderoom?
Yellow is the WORST color for walls. Stay with neutral taupes.
