Two strangers walked away with over £10,000 each after transforming a two-bed house in desperate need of attention. Teacher Olivia, 26, and security officer Gethin, 34, featured on the latest episode of The Great House Giveaway, teaming up to turn around an "unloved" two-bed terraced house in Bangor.
The show sees two strangers who have never owned a home buy a property at auction - and have a set budget to transform it into a liveable abode to be resold in just six months. If the pair are successful, they then get to split any profit made - if not the house goes back to auction. The Bangor home cost £86,750 to buy, and Gethin and Olivia were set a budget of only £7,000 to transform the property and just six months to do it.
Being shown around the property by host Simon O'Brien, they immediately discovered a host of glaring issues. Gethin commented immediately on the "hideous" fireplace while Olivia picked up on the lack of privacy in the downstairs bathroom area located in an extension, saying: "I can see who's showering and who's on the toilet!"
