Worst House on the Street home renovators make one vital decision after overspending and end up with £32k profit

Renovating a house is not an easy task as young couple Harry and Yimika found out on Channel 4's Worst House on the Street. The aim of the programme is to buy the worst/most rundown house on the street and attempt to renovate it and make a profit.

Harry and Yimika brought a tired and ugly terraced house in Croydon, with the aim of transforming it into a warm and welcoming family home. Giving themselves a very ambitious budget of £40,000 the couple had big aims for the tight budget.

After living with Yimika's family for a year to save up further they began renovating. At first, the couple ignored hosts Scarlette and Stuart Douglas's advice that removing the chimney would take up too much of their budget and was not worth the cost.
