Homes Under the Hammer came to Nottinghamshire this week to look at an "uninhabitable" Skegby property that two local businessmen completely transformed into a beautiful place to live. Despite paying well over the guide price for the dilapidated house at auction, the buyers were delighted to hear from an expert that their investment had been worthwhile.
The house was on auction for a guide price of £45,000, but business partners Saeed and Rob paid £94,500 for it. When they bought it, the house had such bad water damage from a broken pipe that the council had put a prohibition order on it meaning it was deemed "unsafe for human habitation".
This meant that Saeed and Rob were not allowed inside the property before they bought it, and nor was presenter Dion Dublin, although he did open the door to have a peak. He could see heaps of rubbish, exposed wires and stairs that were so badly damaged they had almost disintegrated.
