“Homes Under the Hammer” returns to BBC One this Tuesday, and as always, the question is: will the developers’ gamble pay off? This episode features three properties undergoing significant layout changes – two aiming to add value by adding bedrooms, and one taking a rather different approach.
In Eye, Cambridgeshire, and near Hylton Castle, Sunderland, developers take on two-bedroom houses with plans to squeeze in an extra bedroom. Will this bedroom boost translate to a significant increase in value? Or will the costs outweigh the potential returns? Meanwhile, in Ramsgate, Kent, a developer bucks the trend, converting a three-bedroom house into a two-bedroom property. The gamble here is that a large, luxurious bathroom will prove a bigger selling point than an extra bedroom.
It’s a classic “Homes Under the Hammer” conundrum: does adding space automatically equal added value? Or can a smaller, more luxurious space prove just as appealing to buyers? The episode features the usual mix of property tours, expert commentary, and of course, the nail-biting reveals of the final sale prices. Will these developers make a killing or learn some hard lessons in property development?
