There are different levels of challenges and stress when it comes to renovating properties, from a relatively simple refurbishment of decor, kitchen and bathrooms to a full-on, back to brick project that probably needs every aspect of the building worked on.
Then there are the properties that look like a relatively simple project that turn out to be a nightmare. They trick you into thinking it will be a pretty simple job but as you peel back the layers of the fabric of the building like the layers of an onion and discover horrors waiting to be found, it's likely to make you cry.
Property television programmes are littered with people who saw the potential of a renovation project but didn't see the mountain they would have to climb once they got started.
