Woman left 'homeless' after buying £1 house turns it into incredible dream property
A woman who says she was 'effectively homeless' while doing up a home she bought for just £1 has shared pictures of the stunning transformation.
“Although initially I didn't have the funds, I applied anyway and thought, 'I'll cross that bridge' if I was shortlisted. In 2019, four years later, I got a phone call to ask if I was still interested in a home for a pound.” She said: "It has taken me 27 arduous months to get it signed off. It was gruelling, I couldn't have been more naïve about the process. As a yoga teacher I couldn't have been less experienced in construction project management.
"By removing the loft and all upstairs internal walls I created this double height open space. Add in two of Velux's biggest sky lights and I had transformed the house in one foul swoop of the sledge hammer. Well maybe more than one, about five skips worth. I had 60k to renovate the house, I've spent 56k and there's still about 10k worth of work to get it to the standard I'd like.
