Mum makes £18,000 selling 'dated' Cheshire home on BBC Homes Under the Hammer - despite doing 'nothing' to it

A mum-of-five has shown how she made an £18,000 profit on her Cheshire home, despite doing 'nothing to it'. Nikki appeared on BBC's Homes Under the Hammer on Tuesday night (January 31) which saw her buy a three-bed semi-detached home in Crewe at an auction for £215,000.

Described by presenter Jacqui Joseph as 'very, very dated', the house was complete with old-fashioned décor and furniture, as well as a 'unusual, quirky' set up with a strange 'lean-to' at the side with another kitchen.

Nikki initially intended to renovate the entire property with her youngest son Archie, who was excited to start 'destroying walls' with a sledgehammer, but she eventually chose to put it back on the market after doing very little to it.
