Homes Under the Hammer

I love this show because it does what is needed. It shows before and after. The costs involved and general tips. Great for property enthusiasts.

The concept is quite reasonable and shows you can frequently buy property at auction for less than on the normal open market. However, the program would benefit from additional advice on buying at auction - after all that is the program title. For example, although costs are mentioned there is no indication of how much these are - e.g. auctioneer's costs, taxes payable when you sell, legal costs etc. When a potential profit is announced, it would be very useful to have an idea of the net profits. I would also like to know how properties are selected for the program - is it just pot luck?

Love all the presenters. Generally love the format. But. Of late it's so samey and predictable. Property developers dominate. Remove all traces of the great yesteryear. Laminate flooring. Grey's . Black/White. HMO's . ( Nothing wrong here if done tastefully, but it's all for a quick buck. Seen a couple of fab ones . But mostly too commercialised. Removal of garden space for parking is very prevalent, we're always told what a good idea it is. How about the 🐦 🐤🦉🐜🐞🕷🐌🐛🥀🌷🌳🍁 a bees 🐝 🐝🐝 etc. Very sad to see such a decline in front and back green spaces. Getting so I don't look forward to watching any more. Shame. 😕

Hard to believe this series has now been going for nearly 20 years. Sadly, it's showing its age. There really is only so much that can be achieved by seeing houses bought at auction and later returning to see what the buyers have done with them. The early years, with Lucy Alexander and Martin Roberts were great fun. Their enthusiasm was infectious and there was great chemistry between them (even though they were only shown together briefly during each episode.) Adding Dion Dublin, as a third presenter, diluted the mix and further changes, after Lucy departed, haven't helped revive the show. The programme also seems to have run out of new ideas and seems to be covering the same types of property renovation over and over again. Occasionally, they even pick up the same people buying and renovating properties from different auctions. Too much repetition has put me off watching.

The new female presenter is nice to look at, but does she have to wave her arms like an out of control windmill, and does this programme need three presenters,l am sure one presenter could manage this programme,Overall, its an interesting programme,and do we have to have the second screening of the first interviews.
