He has vowed to never do it again
A dad has told how his auction purchase on Homes Under the Hammer cost him thousands of pounds. .
With a council storage depot coming as part of the deal in Milton, Stoke-On-Trent, for £79,000 in 2015, he thought he was on to a quick profit. However, the project was delayed for years and ran into severe problems.TheDaily Starreports that he told presenter Dion Dublin he wanted to build two detached houses and name it after his daughter, Amy Rose. Justin calmly projected six to eight months to finish the job with the help of only one bricklayer - and estimated a cost of £100,000.
But he revealed things were not as good as they seemed. He added: "The original budget was a lot less than we ended up spending but I was anticipating about £200,000, and we ended up spending well over £300k." "Should that be sold, they would probably see a small profit overall." Justin said: "I've never built a new house before so I wanted to do this because I had the land available when I bought the big shed at the back from the council.
