Now there are shows about building, buying, remodeling and selling your home on every channel almost every day. TV show hosts have become celebrities and household names. The UK has an insatiable appetite for entertainment.

Why crazy TV owned?

The UK has experienced some unsustainable house price increases. This has resulted in property owners having large amounts of equity in their homes. Most people who have owned a home for the last 5 years now have a great asset. Taking care of your home and getting the best out of it has become paramount. No wonder the UK has gone crazy for Property TV.

We have reviewed some of the most popular programs.

Channel 4 Property Ladder. Channel 4

Hosted by Sarah Beeney, this show shows the ups and downs of new property developers. Usually every show proves that Budget is king. The developers shed a few tears as they made their first attempt to make money from real estate development. It is certainly not a task for the faint of heart. Sarah Beeney is a seasoned developer and gives some invaluable advice.

Our review: Sarah Beeney can seem like she knows it all and “I told you so” is often on the tip of her tongue. However, it’s great to see other people’s mistakes and she makes some very valuable points. We find ourselves yelling ‘don’t argue with her just listen

Channel 4 UK style

Two savvy, young and successful London property seekers, Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer, face the weekly challenge of finding someone their ideal home to buy, in just a few days! Filmed on location across the UK.

Our review: some good tips for looking for your new home. Some of the home seekers can be a bit greedy and annoying. The show is repeated on some satellite channels, so some of the house prices are very historic.

Houses for sale Channel 4

Estate agent Andrew Winter walks through some of the UK’s hardest-to-sell houses, meeting stressed-out homeowners whose properties have been stuck on the market for months.

Eager for a sale and unable to understand why no one wants to buy their house, they are desperate for a solution. Andrew gives his candid opinion and recommends the course of action. His critical appraisal is often met with opposition…until the owner accepts his advice, it is vital if he wants to sell his house. And they sell what they do.

Our Review: Andrew Winton is blunt with his comments on hard-to-sell homes and their owners. There are no sensitive comments from this man. Some of the owners are subject to his frank and honest opinions. 9 times out of 10 he is right. It’s for us that his brutal honesty makes the show more enjoyable. Andrew Winton manages to sell those houses. The firm but fair manner of him makes him a must to watch.

a place in the sun

Amanda Lamb presents A place in the sun, the program that helps buyers find their dream home in exotic locations abroad. Amanda (Scottish Widow Ad) finds a wide range of the best properties available and guides potential buyers through the quirks and pitfalls of the local market.

Our review: An excellent program that has extensively researched real estate market trends in various sunny locations. Essential if you are thinking of buying abroad

house doctor

Anne Maurice is the domestic interiors equivalent of Anne Robinson. She is witty, quick-tongued, and quick with her forecast. If she’s not lightening, stripping, or painting it white, she’s mercilessly depersonalizing it, wrapping it all up in a big black garbage bag and sending it off with a crisp “bye-bye.”

Our review: Anne Maurice points out the obvious to these home sellers, and if they don’t believe her, potential buyers give them candid views. His shows can get a bit repetitive. However, a must see show.

Other people’s houses Channel 4

Providing an excellent opportunity to look behind other people’s curtains each week, Naomi Cleaver follows a couple as they try to renovate a property and uses this as an excuse to see what other people have done with similarly styled buildings.

Our Review: This show provides a wonderful opportunity to see everyday people’s ideas of what they think a house should look like. Some useful ideas, but it lacks the polish of similar programs.

Relocation Relocation Channel 4

Could you relaunch your life, selling your house to finance a new double existence; Buy a place in the country and a pied-a-terre in the city? Professional estate hunters Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer present a new series, Relocation Relocation, which helps six couples find the ideal balance: urban energy and rural relaxation.

Our review: If you can afford two houses, one for work and the other for weekends, this may be for you. Some of the participants may seem a bit smug.
