Some people watch property programmes to enjoy having a nose around other people's homes but for some people the stories told and the experiences shared can change their lives. When viewing a double-fronted period house in Briton Ferry near Swansea going to auction, Homes Under The Hammer presenter Martin Roberts was impressed at how much property was on offer for a guide price of £95,000 - four flats and maybe the potential for even more.
And Martin wasn't the only person to spot that the property could make a profit. Rahim from Cardiff, a property developer and investor, bagged the building for £100k and was planning to spend around £50,000 turning the four flats into five with the timescale of between 16 and 18 weeks.
