First time property developer adds £100k to value of Notts house not decorated since 1950s on Homes Under the Hammer
A 'tired' Nottingham house that looked like it hadn't been touched since the 1950s was given a huge makeover in today's episode of Homes Under the Hammer. It was bought by Glen, who despite having never renovated a property before managed to add almost £100,000 to its value.

Glen had previously worked for his dad's glass company and said he was hoping to get some double glazing "free of charge" as a result.
Six months later, the Homes Under the Hammer team returned to see how Glen and Simon were getting on. Martel was immediately impressed when she saw the new driveway, freshly painted exterior and new roof. "Wow!" she said. "Now that is a transformation!" There had been some delays to the work though, meaning new floors still needed to be fitted and some rooms still needed painting. Delays had been caused by unexpected issues with the roof, and the electrics and new boiler taking longer than expected to be sorted.
"I didn't really thing of that," he added. To which Simon replied: "So, lesson learned – buy in Essex next time!"
