Channel 4 couple say 'it was awful' as they detail 'worst experience' on show
Property experts Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer cast their eyes back over some of the couples they have assisted over the years as a brand new series of Kirstie and Phil's Love It or List It: Brilliant Builds got underway on Wednesday night. During the Channel 4 programme, the duo transported viewers back to 2023, where they revisited GP Suky's husband Gordon's story. Suky was keen to sell their property, hoping to acquire a bright, open-plan living space complete with a dedicated laundry area.
TL;DR
- Couple Suky and Gordon renovated their home, opting to 'love it' rather than 'list it'.
- The planned six-week renovation extended to 14 weeks, causing significant disruption and hardship.
- The couple described living in the chaotic building site as 'awful' and 'tough', especially during winter.
- They spent £75,000 on renovations, including converting a conservatory and overhauling the kitchen.
- The pre-renovation valuation was £643,000, and the average post-renovation value is £725,000.
- Despite the difficult experience, the couple decided to remain in their improved home.
