WE LOOK AT HOW SARAH BEENY’S NEW
SHOW INSPIRED TWO FAMILIES TO TURN
THEIR HOUSES INTO DREAM HOMES
double
L
ast year saw property
guru Sarah Beeny
return to television
screens with two new
shows: Selling Houses
and Double Your House
For Half The Money. The latter struck
a chord with homeowners who
wanted to keep their borrowings
down but live in a dream house.
This is why Sarah helped 12 of
them to achieve their dream – to
transform a much lesser house into
their perfect home by creating much
more space, but only spending half
the money it would have cost them
to buy their dream home.
It turns out that the participants
aren’t the only ones making changes:
a survey by www.checkatrade.com
BEFORE
showed that people in the UK plan
to spend an average of £4,000 on
home improvements in the next year.
With this property-improvement
idea in mind, we caught up with two
families from Double Your House… to
ask them about their experiences.
