what annoys me is that the guy who made £100,000 off that Chelsea flat - it would take 5 years to earn what he did in a day
What annoys me are remarks like that. If you can do it, go ahead and get a job like his and earn the money yourself. If you can't do it, don't be bitter about people who can

Wasn`t just a day though was it? Finding the right place at the right price, buying it, stripping and renovating it all takes time and money. And as he does it for a living he`s gonna be paying a chunk of that in tax.
Surely that depends on how much commission she earns? If she only earns £192k each 6 months it's not much.
If the estate agent charges 2% then you'd have to sell about £10m worth of property to get the £192k commission. If they get 20% of the commission above that then selling a pokey £500,000 studio flat will earn them £1000 - which isn't bad for flashing a bit of leg.
Also remember that if they don't make their target then they'll be out of the door immediately.

that's the problem, isn't it? We can't all do it because we don't have the initial capital to actually spend on rundown properties in prime locations in the first place. And he said himself, the properties are bought in bulk, so that's a lot of capital required before rennovations.
It if were as simple as "getting a job like this", of course we'd all be doing it. But it's not skillset, but how much money you (or investors/Mum and Dad) have already. Another words: the rich getting richer, the poor kept in their place, which you seem to be supporting with your comment.

Not necessarily. He could have started off small by getting a loan to buy his first place and then gradually built up his portfolio.
What the show does illustrate is how foreign buyers are destroying local people from buying their own property. Hong Kong had this probably for years, before finally controls and heavy taxes were put in place. In London the problem is exacerbated because it is the global "go to" place, all over the world.
It's not right that a foreign buyer with minimal links to Britain can just snap up a property, let alone artificially hike up the price, whilst locals go without or have to move away from their home town.
he worked in quite ordinary jobs before setting up his company, which immediately focused on prime properties. Where did he get that money from if not inheritance?

Young fairly tall fit looking girl with a nice pair of legs who likes showing them off, yes i think we have all noticed her....:D....because Irish Eileen loves the camera and the camera loves her! Note the shots of her walking around building renovation where cameraman zooms in on Eileens legs then down to immaculate classy looking heeled shoes....every heel fetishists dream.
A very attractive young lady who no doubt charms wealthy male buyers into opening their wallets. :cool:
I quite like watching Cotswold guy (Mark?) who drives the lovely old Morris 8. Well spoken without coming over as posh or snooty. A real gentleman too how he helped the elderly lady oversee her final move. OK it's all good for business but 1) he didn't have to and 2) he saw it as a privilege.
If I, an above average stable income earner working full time, asked for a loan to buy properties - even if they were run down - in Chelsea to rennovate and sell on, I would be laughed at.

Not him, the guy flogging the million pounders.
Gazza to all his mates. And that would be none.
Aye thats him.
Heheh
Eileen is lovely. She could come around to measure up my place any time.

Ditto.
The cameraman spent an awful long time focusing in on her legs......which wasn't a bad thing:p:D
Yes Eileene (sp?) is a fox.
Smart girls, I'd do exactly the same

They aren't allowed in I don't think unless the tenants let them in.
They are if they give written notification.

Eileen is a dish. And she knows it.......

A mortgage or loan perhaps.

That guy is so far up his own backside it's cringeworthy viewing. Too full of his own self importance.
