Did anyone else watch PL last night - the house in Chiswick with the huge basement. I think that the couple were mistaken from the very beginning with the original planning permission. Surely the cost effective way would have been to knock the building down and rebuild with either the whimsical basement conversion or more realistically a
3 storey building of 3 flats??
A few other phrases come to mind with that project; " I'm not listening to Sarah whatever she says", "Henpecked husband", "Rising damp" and "Location".
My guess is that there will always be damp problems with the house as it wasn't tanked in one complete go. They didn't show enough about the damp problem to say if the whole basement was ripped out and retanked or just patched up.
The woman expected to get =A31.3million, but really in this market? I would love to know how that house is selling. Can anyone locate it on googlemaps and rightmove?
