00:12This season, as we celebrate our 200th episode,
00:17the house has literally soiled itself.
00:20You're really very rude.
00:22It takes years of practice, Lynn.
00:23Even the agent has given up.
00:26Look, these homeowners really need our help.
00:29We're a bit lost.
00:32Can we just stop this?
00:34This is pretty exciting.
00:36We will tackle our toughest challenges yet.
00:39It is crazy.
00:41I need more.
00:42You always want more.
00:43And with them...
00:44This is amazing.
00:46...will come our greatest rewards.
00:48Oh, my.
00:51Stunning.
00:52Just incredible.
00:54This is insane.
00:56To see all this kindness and generosity,
00:58we're just really grateful.
01:11Western Australia,
01:12where adventure meets tranquility.
01:18And nature paints its masterpiece
01:21in colours across the land.
01:23And the warm reds and browns of the interior.
01:28Hot pink lakes.
01:33And sapphire coastlines so pristine,
01:37they seem untouched by man.
01:41It's beauty lying in the simple truth that
01:45it's not near anywhere else.
01:49It's no wonder people are drawn here.
01:52But what if you actually lived
01:55on the other side of Australia
01:57and you bought a holiday house here
01:59without visiting first?
02:02What could possibly go wrong?
02:05Right?
02:10Meet homeowner,
02:12laid-back, barefoot philosopher
02:14and eternal optimist,
02:16Clinton.
02:17So I'm from Newcastle,
02:19New South Wales,
02:20about two hours north of Sydney.
02:25Four years ago,
02:26Clinton started dreaming up
02:27his perfect life
02:29and impulsively
02:31decided to take the plunge.
02:33So I was searching on the internet,
02:35starting from Newcastle,
02:36working my way around
02:38the coast of Australia.
02:39And this place was
02:41pretty much the only place
02:43on the beach that I could afford.
02:44A run-down fishing shack
02:47in Horrocks, W.A.
02:50So he scraped together
02:52all of his savings
02:53and maxed out his mortgage.
02:56I pay 290 grand for the house.
03:00Unfortunately,
03:01the problem with impulse buys,
03:03online, sight unseen...
03:06I've only been here once.
03:08It takes me about a full day
03:10to get here.
03:11I had to drive two hours
03:12down to Sydney,
03:13fly from Sydney to Perth
03:15and then drive from Perth
03:17up here six hours.
03:18And when he got here,
03:21desperation landed.
03:23Turns out it was a little
03:25too much of a shack
03:27and a little too isolated
03:29to reach easily.
03:31Two costly dilemmas
03:33he hadn't factored
03:34into the purchase.
03:37It's expensive
03:38when you're financially struggling.
03:40It's just too much.
03:43I just really need to sell it.
03:46But after 18 months
03:49on the market,
03:50shouldering a crushing mortgage
03:52that's starting to bleed
03:54into his small business,
03:55his only source of income,
03:57here I am.
03:58Imagine if you wanted
04:00to visit Horrocks
04:00and you live
04:013,500 kilometers away.
04:04The shortest period of time
04:06you could do that in
04:07would be around 12 hours
04:08and that's providing
04:09you get all the right flights
04:11you get on board in time
04:12and there are no delays
04:14or cancellations.
04:16For that kind of time
04:18and money,
04:19I could be kicking back
04:21on a private yacht
04:22in Hawaii.
04:24This goes on and on and on.
04:33This is Beachside Horrocks.
04:38Oh my goodness.
04:40Well, that's it.
04:43Right.
04:46Bled you're parking
04:47in a town like this now.
04:58Well,
04:59it is 100%
05:02beachfront.
05:05But this is what's
05:07fronting the beach.
05:13Wow.
05:15What can I say about that?
05:17I mean,
05:18they're all
05:19like shacks around here
05:21but most of them
05:22look like they're
05:22a little bit loved.
05:24How'd you get down?
05:27Manicured gardens.
05:31Even the agent
05:32has given up.
05:33Look.
05:37Hey, Andrew.
05:39Well,
05:40before we even
05:41think about going in there,
05:44tell me
05:45what's going on here
05:46because
05:47there's all these
05:48beach shacks
05:49in an amazing spot
05:50but
05:51like a caravan park.
05:52I mean,
05:53please tell me
05:53there's a bit of title
05:54going on here.
05:55It's on Strada.
05:57Ah,
05:58right.
05:58So,
05:58the owners
05:59kind of use
06:00whichever bit.
06:00Yes.
06:01And then they look
06:02after them
06:02and the TLC
06:03and care and attention.
06:06Like this.
06:07Obviously.
06:08Manicured.
06:08Yep, perfect.
06:10All right.
06:11Come to it.
06:12Is the aircon on
06:13because it's blooming
06:14hot out here?
06:14No, no aircon.
06:16Oh, Jesus.
06:18Oh, my God.
06:19It's so hot.
06:22Um,
06:23right.
06:25It's quite shocking.
06:27I mean,
06:28at some point
06:29someone's put a kitchen in
06:31but,
06:31you know,
06:32there's
06:34nothing left of it.
06:36It's almost
06:37unusable.
06:39Wow.
06:40This is far worse
06:41than I thought.
06:42Sorry.
06:43That's all right.
06:45This is tiny.
06:46Yes.
06:47Was that not a red flag
06:48when you looked
06:49at it online?
06:50I probably didn't
06:51look at the size.
06:51No,
06:52why would you?
06:53I mean,
06:53especially when you've
06:55got such beautiful
06:55features like
06:56the way that the line
06:57of the floor
06:58follows the natural
06:59landscape.
06:59Correct.
06:59All rocky and bumpy.
07:01Public convenience
07:02style lighting.
07:04It has so many
07:05attributes.
07:06Doesn't it?
07:06Show me through
07:07to the next
07:07massive room.
07:09So,
07:10this is a
07:11second bedroom.
07:12Oh,
07:13look at this.
07:13Oh,
07:14it's all forgiven now.
07:15We've got roller blinds.
07:17We've got space.
07:19There's no robes,
07:20so nobody has any clothes.
07:21No,
07:21no,
07:22there's none.
07:22Clothes are oxal
07:23here in Horrocks?
07:23Yes.
07:24Okay.
07:26I mean,
07:27that spider's happy.
07:28Very happy.
07:29There's one of his
07:30friends over there.
07:31No.
07:33No.
07:33No,
07:33I've got to open that.
07:35Right.
07:35Okay.
07:39Underneath a
07:39very hot tin roof,
07:41we have a
07:42cramped kitchen living,
07:44a tiny
07:46second bedroom
07:47and a
07:47lavishly
07:48labelled
07:49laundry
07:50main bedroom
07:50and a
07:51bathroom.
07:53What is this?
07:55That
07:56is the
07:56laundry.
07:57But if you put
07:57a washing machine
07:58there,
07:59you wouldn't
08:00be able to
08:00get through
08:01to here.
08:02No.
08:04Wow.
08:05Jeez,
08:06I'm cooking
08:07in here.
08:08This is
08:08the main
08:09bedroom.
08:09It might
08:10get a
08:11double bed,
08:12they just
08:12have to be
08:13vertical,
08:14which isn't
08:15ideal.
08:16No.
08:17Is that
08:18the concrete
08:18slab through
08:19there?
08:19Yeah.
08:20Right.
08:21Yeah.
08:22Okay.
08:23Your bedroom
08:24has soiled
08:25itself,
08:25literally.
08:26There's
08:27air in the
08:27bedroom,
08:28there's
08:28soil.
08:30Okay,
08:31so there's one
08:31thing I haven't
08:32seen.
08:32Yep.
08:33The, uh,
08:34yeah,
08:35bathroom.
08:38Hang on.
08:43This is a
08:43shower,
08:44a horrid,
08:45feral,
08:46revolting shower.
08:47Yep,
08:47yes,
08:47you did.
08:48Yep.
08:49Oh,
08:50yuck.
08:54So,
08:56there's no sink
08:57in there,
08:58there's just
08:58a toilet,
08:59and then
08:59this shower
09:00thing.
09:01Yep.
09:02Oh,
09:02mate.
09:05Let's get some
09:06fresh air.
09:06Oh,
09:07a bit of the
09:08ocean breeze.
09:10Well,
09:11okay,
09:11look,
09:12Clinton,
09:12let's,
09:12let's,
09:13let's talk
09:13nitty-gritty
09:14here.
09:15So,
09:16you bought
09:16this sight unseen.
09:18I did.
09:19Okay.
09:20Sometimes it
09:21goes well,
09:22but it's high
09:23risk.
09:24You've played
09:25that risk,
09:26and your luck,
09:27you've been
09:28unlucky,
09:28because this,
09:30this is awful,
09:31Clinton.
09:32I mean,
09:32it's not even
09:33being rented out.
09:34You couldn't
09:35rent it out.
09:35no.
09:36Wow.
09:37Being brutally
09:38honest,
09:39which I do,
09:41we've got a
09:42knockdown land
09:42value,
09:43but we haven't
09:43got any land.
09:45I mean,
09:46my advice to
09:47you would be
09:47forget selling
09:48it now,
09:48keep it for
09:4930 years.
09:49One day,
09:50you'll get
09:50your money
09:50back on it.
09:51It's an option.
09:52I've got a
09:52small business.
09:53I need to
09:54get rid of
09:54the mortgage.
09:55Right.
09:56Look,
09:57I don't like
09:57giving up,
09:58because I,
09:59you know,
09:59give everything
10:00a chance.
10:00I've arranged
10:01to meet your
10:01agent,
10:03Beachside.
10:03Yep.
10:03She's going
10:04to do the
10:04sales pitch
10:05on Horrocks.
10:07It had to be
10:07a blooming good
10:07sales pitch
10:08to convince me
10:09on this one.
10:09Anyway,
10:10I'm going to
10:10go meet your
10:10agent,
10:11and I'll see
10:11you later.
10:12All right.
10:12I wouldn't go
10:13back in there
10:13if I was
10:13you.
10:14It's too hot.
10:20Well,
10:21they say
10:21the property
10:22game can
10:23make you
10:23rich or
10:24ruin you.
10:25Clinton
10:25shelled out
10:27$290,000
10:28for this
10:29beachside
10:29dream,
10:30but I'm
10:31not sure
10:31it's worth
10:32the sand
10:32it's built
10:33on.
10:34I reckon
10:34his place
10:35is worth
10:35about
10:37$0,
10:38so it'll
10:38be interesting
10:39to see what
10:39his agent
10:39has to say
10:40about that.
10:43Originally
10:44a humble
10:44fishing village,
10:45Horrocks has
10:46been a beloved
10:47seaside escape
10:48since the
10:481950s.
10:50Rows of
10:51nostalgic
10:52beach shacks,
10:53many passed
10:54down through
10:54generations,
10:55offer a rare
10:56glimpse into
10:57a simpler,
10:58slower way
10:59of life.
11:00But in a
11:01town where
11:02time seems
11:03to idle,
11:04do people
11:05still buy
11:06in?
11:07And if so,
11:08who are
11:08they?
11:09Trish!
11:10Hey, how
11:11are you
11:11Andrew?
11:12Well, okay,
11:13I'm impressed
11:14with your
11:14sales techniques
11:15already.
11:15You get me
11:16out here
11:17on the
11:17jetty looking
11:18back at
11:19Horrocks to
11:20see the
11:20beauties of
11:21the place.
11:21It's one
11:22of the most
11:22beautiful places
11:23in Western
11:24Australia.
11:24But it's so
11:26geographically
11:26remote.
11:27It is.
11:28You don't
11:28come here
11:28because of
11:29amenities and
11:30facilities,
11:30in fact it's
11:31the opposite.
11:32I come here
11:32for this,
11:33the relaxed
11:33lifestyle,
11:34most of them
11:35are owned by
11:35farmers that
11:36have given
11:36the farms
11:37to the
11:37sons.
11:38Right.
11:38And then the
11:39other ones,
11:40the smaller
11:40homes,
11:40the beach
11:41shacks and
11:41all that?
11:41The beach
11:42shacks are
11:42owned by
11:43farmers as
11:43well and
11:44they use
11:44them as
11:45holiday
11:45homes.
11:46So things
11:46do sell?
11:47Very much
11:48so.
11:49Things do
11:49sell and
11:49they do
11:50sell for
11:50a big
11:51price.
11:51All of
11:52these
11:52cottages,
11:53several of
11:54them have
11:54just gone
11:55up here,
11:55gone for
11:55$440,000.
11:57Wow.
11:58But then
11:58there's
11:58Clintons.
11:59Tell me
12:00about the
12:01marketing
12:01history.
12:02I've shown
12:03the property
12:03many times.
12:05Many,
12:05many times.
12:06At least it
12:06didn't take
12:06long.
12:08There you
12:08are.
12:10Any offers
12:10at all
12:11during that
12:12period?
12:12One.
12:13One
12:13substantial
12:14offer which
12:15was $250,000.
12:18So you've
12:19actually had
12:20an offer
12:20of $250,000
12:22on that?
12:24On that.
12:25There were
12:25situations that
12:26needed to be
12:27met by
12:28Clinton.
12:28Yeah.
12:28We needed
12:29to keep
12:29the price
12:30at a certain
12:31level.
12:31So he didn't
12:32take that.
12:33Wow.
12:34Yeah.
12:34So not
12:35only is
12:35an unlucky
12:36guy, he
12:36also possibly
12:37missed the
12:38market.
12:39Oh, well.
12:40Well, thanks
12:40for that.
12:41You're welcome.
12:43Let's head
12:44back to dry
12:45land.
12:45Jeez.
12:47Horrocks,
12:48eh?
12:49Looks like
12:49Paul Clinton
12:50faces two
12:51very clear
12:52choices.
12:53Cut his
12:53losses and
12:54risk his
12:55small business
12:56or make
12:57a last
12:58ditch effort
12:59to salvage
12:59the place
13:00and claw
13:01back more
13:01than he
13:02would by
13:02walking away.
13:04To ease
13:05the sting,
13:06I've lured
13:06him into
13:07another
13:07property
13:08with the
13:09promise of,
13:10well,
13:10not terrible
13:11news.
13:14Ah, Clinton,
13:15you found it
13:15all right there.
13:15I did.
13:16Yes.
13:17This is the
13:17one that we're
13:18going to have
13:18a little look
13:19at.
13:19Yeah.
13:20There's quite
13:20a lot of
13:20beach shacks
13:21on this title.
13:22Yeah.
13:23This one's
13:23got a frontage
13:24to it as well
13:25in respect that
13:25you can look
13:26towards the
13:26beach and
13:27the ocean.
13:27These ones
13:28along here,
13:29their title's
13:30here, so
13:30they're allowed
13:30to put these
13:31outdoor areas
13:32on the front.
13:33Yeah.
13:33All right.
13:33So the whole
13:34point of this
13:34is for you to
13:35go in and
13:35have a little
13:35look.
13:36All right.
13:36Okay.
13:37I'll just
13:38wait out here
13:38in the heat.
13:40Find some
13:41shade somewhere.
13:43While the
13:44house is set
13:45further back
13:46from the beach,
13:47it offers
13:47substantially
13:48more space.
13:49Much bigger.
13:53Storage.
13:54Nice.
13:56With three
13:58decent-sized
13:59bedrooms.
13:59A bit nicer
14:01than mine.
14:03An actual
14:04dining room.
14:05And a
14:06perfectly
14:07functional
14:07layout.
14:09The good
14:10news, while
14:11this property
14:11has been
14:12renovated, it's
14:14far from flashy.
14:15It's a
14:15practical,
14:17fisherman and
14:18holiday-friendly
14:18update, designed
14:20to be low-maintenance
14:21and no frills.
14:24Benton?
14:25Where are you?
14:26Ah.
14:27Hey.
14:29But other
14:30than the aircon,
14:31differences are
14:32three bedrooms.
14:33Yeah.
14:34It's got a good
14:35layout with the
14:36laundry and the
14:36bathroom.
14:37The kitchen,
14:38not much in bed.
14:40Awful.
14:40It's like yours.
14:41Any idea on price?
14:44Uh,
14:46$4.50.
14:47Okay, it actually
14:48has sold for
14:49$4.20.
14:51Okay.
14:52Now you know
14:53that.
14:53Yes.
14:54What do you think
14:54yours is worth?
14:55About $2.50.
14:59This is probably
15:00two and a half
15:00times the size
15:01of yours.
15:02Big outdoor area,
15:03I see the gap
15:04as much bigger.
15:05Do you see
15:06where I'm coming
15:06from?
15:07I see where
15:07he comes from.
15:09That said,
15:10it leaves
15:11Clinton with a
15:11pretty achievable
15:13standard to meet
15:14if he wants
15:15to push for
15:16a higher price.
15:30An impulse buy
15:31has left
15:32Clinton with
15:33a mortgage
15:33he can't afford
15:37for a house
15:38that can't
15:39be lived in
15:42and no one
15:43is willing
15:44to buy.
15:47Now his
15:48livelihood is
15:49on the line.
15:51Luckily,
15:51I've put together
15:52a comprehensive
15:53visually dynamic
15:56and strategic
15:57roadmap.
16:00Whenever Andrew
16:01makes us travel
16:02a day,
16:03whenever Andrew
16:04makes us go
16:04so far,
16:05I get a bit
16:05of a chill
16:06down my spine
16:07to be honest.
16:08How much further?
16:09I reckon
16:10it's still
16:11half an hour away.
16:13Quite remote.
16:15You think?
16:25Right,
16:26let's get
16:27cracking.
16:29I can't wait
16:30to see
16:30what Andrew
16:31Winter's got
16:32in store
16:32for us here.
16:38How did
16:39you do that?
16:42Guess I'm
16:43driving then.
16:56by you
16:57snoring in?
16:58I am
16:58tipping you out.
17:06really is just
17:08a little
17:08tiny
17:10beach
17:11side.
17:12I wouldn't
17:13have to call it
17:13a town.
17:14Do you know
17:15a store?
17:17Look at that
17:18beautiful water.
17:21here he is.
17:23Of course
17:24he is.
17:26Hmm.
17:39Welcome to
17:40Horrocks.
17:41Ah,
17:42Mr.
17:43Winter.
17:44I'll tell you
17:45what,
17:45you've been
17:46travelling for
17:46hours,
17:46you look fresh
17:47as a daisy.
17:48Fresh as a daisy.
17:49There you go.
17:50Oh my God.
17:51Oh and obviously
17:51you look gorgeous
17:52too Wendy.
17:53Yeah,
17:53a bit more tired.
17:54We can't ignore
17:55the fact geography
17:56here.
17:57Whilst it's a very
17:58charming,
17:59sleepy little
17:59coastal village,
18:01it's not really
18:02near anywhere.
18:03It's a little
18:03out of the way.
18:04Yeah.
18:04However,
18:05it's prime
18:07oceanfront,
18:07realistic,
18:08turquoise water,
18:09blue skies,
18:10western Australia.
18:11Turquoise water's
18:11that way,
18:12I don't want to
18:12look at the turquoise
18:13this way.
18:14It's freestanding
18:16and because
18:17I'm always
18:19thinking about
18:20you rather than
18:20myself because
18:22So nice.
18:23It's compact
18:24in dimensions
18:25so the project's
18:26not huge.
18:27Yeah,
18:27that's the best
18:28you've got.
18:29Oceanfront!
18:31Would you like
18:31to go and
18:32explore,
18:33Wendy?
18:33Yeah,
18:33I'll see you
18:34in 93 seconds.
18:35Well,
18:35yeah,
18:35you really
18:36won't be long.
18:38Oh,
18:39Andrew.
18:54Look at it.
18:56You have
18:56brought me to
18:57some terrible
18:57properties.
18:58I have.
18:58And you've
18:58always gone
18:59street appeal,
19:00street appeal,
19:00street appeal.
19:00We've got to
19:01get the buyers
19:02in.
19:02Yes.
19:03That is the
19:04best street appeal
19:05that I've ever
19:06had.
19:07Thank you,
19:07Andrew.
19:07Amazing.
19:09But there is
19:10only so much
19:11polish.
19:12Yeah,
19:13I know where
19:13you're going
19:13with that.
19:15The facade
19:15is ugly.
19:17Yes,
19:17there is that.
19:18The roof
19:19is ugly.
19:20Yes.
19:20Probably one of
19:21the best
19:21conditioned parts
19:22of it is the
19:24poo pot.
19:24The soil pipe
19:25is in stunning
19:26condition,
19:26you're right.
19:27Like,
19:27there's no appeal
19:28at the front.
19:29It's asbestos.
19:30I've got holes.
19:31I've got rotten
19:32timber.
19:32Yeah.
19:33I've got gutters
19:33that I reckon
19:34probably need some
19:35work.
19:36Overgrown greenery.
19:38Overgrown greenery?
19:44Oh,
19:44my goodness.
19:46Look at those
19:47cracks.
19:49You carry on
19:49wandering.
19:50I'm going this
19:51way.
19:51You're literally
19:52just, like,
19:53dumping and
19:53running.
19:54Yeah.
19:58Wendy,
19:58have you,
19:59uh,
20:01you're in the
20:01shower.
20:02Let's be honest,
20:03nobody would ever
20:03have a shower in
20:04there, would
20:05they, really?
20:06Well,
20:06it's not just
20:07the shower.
20:08It's the floor
20:09that's lumpy.
20:10It's the windows
20:11that don't open.
20:13And when they do
20:13open,
20:14they don't close.
20:15It's the kitchen
20:16that's falling apart.
20:17You would think
20:18when you've only
20:19really got three
20:20rooms in this
20:20much space,
20:21it would be hard
20:21to get it wrong,
20:22but wow.
20:23Yeah.
20:24I was,
20:25I was dying to hear
20:26your thoughts on
20:27the property.
20:28The last kicker,
20:29I'm pretty sure
20:30this is asbestos.
20:3399.9% sure
20:34it is as well,
20:35yes.
20:36Go on,
20:36have a little chat
20:37with Dennis?
20:38Yeah.
20:39After you.
20:40Oh, no.
20:40Yes.
20:42You really do
20:43choose him.
20:44Where's Dennis?
20:46Is he over there?
20:47It didn't take him
20:47long to look around
20:48the perimeter.
20:49No.
20:50Now,
20:50Wendy,
20:51watch this road
20:51as you cross.
20:52It's very busy.
20:55Hi, Dennis.
20:56That is magic.
20:58It really is.
20:58It's lovely,
20:59isn't it?
20:59Oh.
21:01Thoughts?
21:01Come on,
21:01you two.
21:02Righto.
21:04I'm dealing
21:04with a tired
21:0550s facade.
21:06Yep.
21:07Exterior is asbestos.
21:08Not to mention,
21:09why is it so low
21:11in the ground?
21:11It looks like
21:12it's been swallowed up.
21:13You know,
21:13I found this picture.
21:15It was actually
21:16at road level.
21:18Road level
21:18was raised
21:19in recent years.
21:20Right.
21:21I guess it's
21:21better than that.
21:23There's one other
21:24thing.
21:25It's strata titled.
21:26Right.
21:27So we're going
21:27to have to comply
21:28with strata
21:29whatever we do.
21:30Well,
21:30look,
21:30I've got similar
21:31issues to Dennis
21:32inside.
21:32Obviously,
21:33the asbestos
21:33isn't just outside.
21:34It's inside.
21:35And that concrete
21:37floor,
21:37you can't leave that.
21:39And the layout
21:40is terrible.
21:40You actually have
21:41to walk through
21:42the shower
21:42to get to the toilet.
21:44You do not.
21:44You do.
21:45You have to go
21:46and it's not
21:46a comfortable walk.
21:47Okay.
21:48Clinton is probably
21:50Australia's
21:50unluckiest homeowner
21:52because he bought
21:53it online.
21:54Like a bot.
21:56Yeah.
21:57And never came
21:58to look at the property.
22:00Wow.
22:01Guess where he lives?
22:03What?
22:04Newcastle.
22:05In New South Wales,
22:06three and a half
22:07thousand kilometers away.
22:09And has only ever
22:10been here one time.
22:13His financial
22:14diastrate.
22:14This at the moment
22:15is costing him
22:16a lot of money.
22:17Right.
22:19Well,
22:20should we go and meet him?
22:21I bet he's probably
22:22got a random barbecue
22:23for us on a beach
22:24far, far away.
22:24Oh, let's do that.
22:26Let's go and find him.
22:26It'll be one of his
22:27local spots
22:27because he gets here
22:28so often.
22:28Well, he does.
22:29He knows the area
22:30so well because he
22:30has been here once
22:31before, you know.
22:33Clinton is desperate
22:37to reclaim his
22:39$290,000.
22:41But how much
22:42is he willing
22:42to risk
22:43to get it?
22:45Trish is
22:46Clinton's real estate agent.
22:47Ah!
22:48Clinton, Trish,
22:50meet
22:50Wendy and Dennis.
22:52Hello.
22:53Hey, Karen.
22:54Good, good.
22:54This looks amazing
22:55what you're cooking.
22:56Wow.
22:57Local great dish?
22:58Locally, locally caught?
22:59How good is that?
23:00So nice.
23:01Should we sit down
23:02and have a little bit of a chat?
23:03Is that all right
23:03to leave everything
23:04there for the minute?
23:05What a lovely spot.
23:07There we go.
23:08Um, I suppose
23:09this conversation
23:10should start by
23:11seeing what the buyers
23:12thought of the reason
23:13open.
23:13You ready?
23:14Yeah, I'm ready.
23:15Okay, here we go.
23:31That's horrendous.
23:34Might have worked,
23:35you know.
23:36Small.
23:37Yeah, it is absolutely
23:39overwhelming.
23:40This is a massive job.
23:42Um, it's quite sunken in
23:44and to be honest
23:45it's an absolute dump.
23:48The floor is uneven.
23:50Everything's like
23:51a little bit dingy.
23:53Ah, the exterior
23:54needs, definitely
23:55needs cleaning up.
23:57For the block itself
23:58I wouldn't pay anything
23:59more than $140,000,000.
24:02I would pay $120,000.
24:04I wouldn't pay
24:05more than $50,000
24:07because I think
24:08it needs to be bulldozed.
24:11Oh, they're fairly brutal.
24:13Yeah.
24:14To be honest
24:15when I first saw
24:16the property
24:16I thought it was
24:17more like a
24:17$290,000 difference
24:19because I thought
24:20the value was zero.
24:21but
24:22I have been educated
24:24to the market.
24:24There is a beach shack
24:25market out there
24:26so it's not all lost.
24:28Why don't we ask
24:29Wendy and Dennis
24:30how you can
24:30transform this property?
24:32Look, it just
24:33it doesn't feel
24:34welcoming
24:34and it doesn't feel
24:36relaxing.
24:36It doesn't feel
24:37like a holiday house.
24:38I want it to feel
24:39like a really
24:40lovely holiday house
24:41that embraces
24:43kind of mid-century
24:44style
24:45the location
24:46and solves
24:47the problems
24:48and the problems
24:49really are
24:50the asbestos
24:50the floor
24:51but also the layout.
24:53I mean
24:53I would really
24:54like to solve
24:55the layout
24:56of that bathroom
24:57in particular.
24:58Oh, that bathroom.
24:58Yeah.
24:59Yeah.
24:59It's got so much
25:00potential
25:01I would love
25:02to rip the cladding
25:03off and put
25:03new cladding on
25:04the whole facade
25:05etc.
25:06I'd love to have
25:06a beautiful entrance
25:07coming in
25:08with a garden
25:08like giving it
25:09some real punch.
25:11So hang on
25:12what's the budget?
25:14I can call in
25:15some failures
25:16probably
25:16so I could bring
25:16it up to 25 grand.
25:20If that's all
25:21we've got
25:21painting the outside
25:22will go a long
25:23way to giving it
25:25a little bit
25:25more appeal.
25:26Yep.
25:26I think we can
25:28do something there
25:29but it's going
25:30to be hard
25:30and I've got
25:31plenty of restrictions.
25:32Do you know
25:33the restriction
25:33is the budget
25:34because you can't
25:34have the money?
25:35Of course.
25:36Look
25:36we're just
25:37going to have
25:37to leave
25:38the especials.
25:38We can't
25:39solve that
25:39problem for
25:39that price
25:40but I will
25:41have to
25:41address the
25:42floor
25:42and then I
25:43think it's
25:43going to
25:44come down
25:44to colour
25:44and decorating
25:45it.
25:45And I think
25:46my only caveat
25:47with all of
25:48this Clinton
25:49and I don't
25:49mean to bring it
25:50back down
25:51but I do
25:51often do this
25:53you might have
25:54to listen to
25:54the market.
25:55If your timing
25:56isn't right
25:56you just might
25:57not get the
25:57price you want
25:58and you've
25:59then got to
25:59analyse whether
25:59waiting for
26:00another 6 or 12
26:01months is really
26:02viable.
26:02I would say
26:03it probably isn't.
26:04No it's not.
26:06Well let's
26:07eat.
26:08Yeah.
26:09Oh yes food.
26:09Come on.
26:10Hey.
26:10Well thanks man.
26:11I know yes.
26:12Wow.
26:13Thank you for
26:13putting this on.
26:15Look at that.
26:16Wow.
26:17That gorgeous.
26:18Honestly with
26:20sunsets like
26:21these you kind
26:22of understand
26:23how someone
26:24might get
26:25swept up
26:26in an impulse
26:27buy.
26:27That's your
26:28West Australian
26:29sunset.
26:30Wow.
26:31How beautiful.
26:41We're in
26:42Horrocks.
26:42A sleepy
26:43little fishing
26:43town nestled
26:44on Australia's
26:45West Coast.
26:47Stuck between
26:48a stunning
26:48coastline and
26:49a debilitated
26:50old shack
26:50that's threatening
26:51to cost him
26:52his small business
26:53Clinton's had
26:53to rush home
26:54to try and
26:55keep it afloat.
26:57At the moment
26:58it's like a

28:05DIY fix
28:08you name it
28:09I'm doing it
28:13wait what have
28:14we got here
28:17at least
28:18someone has
28:19been enjoying
28:19the place
28:20come on
28:22mate
28:22you can't
28:23stay here
28:24you've got to
28:29go
28:30no I hope not
28:30ready
28:30yeah
28:31there you go
28:32there you go
28:32little mate
28:33let's see
28:34with that
28:34I love
28:34I tell you
28:43what for a tiny
28:44house this has
28:45got a lot of
28:46issues going
28:46on
28:46I need this
28:53place to give
28:54us a great
28:55sense of
28:56holiday
28:56and really
28:57celebrate the
28:59location and
29:00the era of
29:01this house
29:02with the
29:03layout it
29:04needs to be
29:05easy so
29:05really want to
29:07try and somehow
29:08come up with a
29:09solution that's
29:10going to make
29:11this feel like a
29:12functional space
29:13then of course
29:15we need to
29:16tackle these
29:16awful flaws
29:18like
29:19it
29:22because it
29:23doesn't feel
29:23good and I
29:24need to rip up
29:25all of this
29:26lino floor and
29:27see what's going
29:27on underneath
29:33yeah
29:33the walls are
29:35also pretty
29:36dire and I
29:37need to move
29:38fast because
29:39we need to get
29:41a whole new
29:42floor down and
29:43once that starts
29:44curing I won't
29:45be able to get
29:45back in here
29:46the walls
29:47themselves are
29:47actually asbestos
29:48which was hugely
29:50popular in the
29:5050s obviously
29:51we would never
29:52use it now
29:52it's still safe
29:54as long as you
29:55don't try and
29:55move it or
29:56drill into it
29:57or change it
29:57in any way
29:58so just giving
29:59it a coat of
30:00paint is actually
30:00a really good
30:01start
30:02using a soft
30:04white to bounce
30:04the light and
30:05make the rooms
30:06feel bigger
30:07more open
30:08and airy
30:09one of my
30:10favourite tricks
30:11for covering up
30:12imperfections and
30:13making a big
30:14impact on tired
30:15old walls
30:15wallpaper
30:16it was in
30:18every room
30:18in the 50s
30:19so I'm
30:20borrowing the
30:20vibe and
30:21using palm
30:22motifs
30:22again a nod
30:24to the era
30:24I'm keeping
30:25the colours
30:26soft and
30:26neutral
30:27so the space
30:28remains calm
30:29yet full
30:30of personality
30:33like the
30:34wallpaper
30:34this cement
30:35based product
30:36will work
30:36wonders to
30:37cover a
30:38multitude of
30:38defects
30:39just a thin
30:41layer and
30:41we're set
30:42for the new
30:43floor
30:44this won't
30:45feel like
30:45you're walking
30:45across the
30:46ocean anymore
30:48but what it
30:49does mean
30:51maybe this is
30:52the trade-off
30:52you get all the
30:54budget but you
30:54come out and
30:55help me
30:56just this one
30:57time
31:00just this one
31:01time
31:01just this one
31:01time
31:02I get free
31:04trade while the
31:05new floor cures
31:06left-handed
31:07cutting in
31:08what we have
31:09here is rare
31:10footage of the
31:11Windymore
31:12animal outside
31:13unseen before
31:17out here it's
31:18all about making
31:19a statement
31:19and that starts
31:21with colour
31:21I want it to
31:23stand out boldly
31:24to have that
31:25wow factor
31:26you can't stroll
31:27past but also
31:28feel like it
31:29belongs in its
31:30beautiful surroundings
31:33I don't necessarily
31:34love it
31:35it's not as
31:37vibrant as what
31:38I thought it was
31:39going to be
31:41we've gone a bit
31:42conservative
31:43but here's the
31:44thing about
31:45bold colours
31:45but you know
31:46once you add
31:47the more vibrant
31:48accent colour
31:49it could make
31:50it pop
31:51why don't we
31:52paint the face
31:53up and then
31:54just see what
31:55it looks like
31:56alright let's
31:57give it a try
31:59there's
32:00shape shifters
32:05what looks
32:06perfect on a
32:07paint swab
32:07can feel
32:08totally different
32:09when it's
32:09plastered across
32:10a sun drenched
32:11wall
32:13Wendy
32:14shape
32:14I mean
32:15I don't hate
32:16it it's just
32:17not what
32:17we wanted
32:18it just looks
32:19a bit more
32:20brown than
32:20orange
32:21and I wanted
32:22to like do
32:23a real
32:23yeah a heritage
32:25like throw to go
32:2750s
32:2850s
32:28yeah
32:30alright
32:30come on
32:31let's go
32:33key takeaway
32:34don't paint
32:35three quarters
32:36of the house
32:37in 42 degree
32:38heat
32:39only to realise
32:40the colours
32:41all wrong
32:42clearly guilty
32:44get yourself
32:45some sample
32:46pots
32:46I've got
32:47three of
32:48varying shades
32:50and watch
32:51them through
32:51the day
32:53you ready
32:56orange ember
32:57yeah
32:58let the house
32:58tell you
32:59what works
33:00we go back
33:01to a nice
33:02crisp white
33:02all around it
33:04we only wanted
33:05to do it
33:05in that
33:05darker colour
33:06to enhance
33:07the house
33:07yeah
33:09but we don't
33:09need to anymore
33:10if we have
33:11nice crisp white
33:12around it
33:14then the hero
33:14is the wall colour
33:15yeah
33:15and it'll look
33:16it'll look good
33:17yeah great
33:18so I've got to
33:18paint the face
33:19for again too
33:19yep
33:22yes
33:25orange embers
33:27with crisp white
33:29trims
33:29now that's
33:30a statement
33:31but seriously
33:32I think you can
33:34go back inside
33:34now
33:35this spark's
33:36got somewhere
33:37else to shine
33:37this is the
33:39start of my
33:40secret weapon
33:41no other
33:43beach cabin
33:43in Horrocks
33:44has this
33:45and it's so
33:47easy to do
33:47yourself
33:48three posts
33:49this side
33:50three posts
33:51that side
33:52nice little
33:53cross piece
33:53joined with a
33:54simple half scarf
33:55for extra strength
33:56and suddenly
33:58you've got
33:58the perfect
34:00situation
34:01walk across
34:02the beach
34:02after having a
34:03swim
34:03turn a tap
34:05on
34:05hop under
34:06the outdoor
34:08shower
34:08which means
34:09no more
34:11salt
34:11and no more
34:13sand
34:13traipsing
34:14through the
34:14house
34:15can't sell
34:16a beachside
34:17dream
34:17better than
34:18that
34:18it is gonna
34:20look fantastic
34:22far from what
34:23these rooms
34:24look like
34:25at the moment
34:26it's all
34:27hodgepodge
34:28nothing goes
34:28together
34:29and the fact
34:29that you have
34:30to walk
34:30through the
34:31shower
34:31to get
34:32into the
34:32toilet
34:33it's not
34:33ideal
34:34I would
34:35love to
34:35knock down
34:36these walls
34:37and completely
34:38redesign the
34:38space
34:39but we're
34:40dealing with
34:41asbestos
34:41and a very
34:42tight budget
34:43so that's
34:44just not an
34:45option right
34:45now
34:45still
34:46there's a
34:47lot I
34:48can do
34:48the key
34:50is
34:50creating
34:51more
34:51functionality
34:52and bringing
34:53some cohesion
34:53into the
34:54area
34:54I'm giving
34:56this old
34:56laundry
34:57a new
34:57purpose
34:58turning it
34:59into a
35:00vanity
35:00space
35:00to better
35:01serve the
35:02rest of
35:02the bathroom
35:05starting
35:05with a
35:06simple
35:06benchtop
35:07that ties
35:07in with
35:07the kitchen
35:08I've chosen
35:09a curved
35:09edge
35:10so it's
35:10comfortable
35:11to walk
35:11past
35:11using
35:13the existing
35:13plumbing
35:14I'll swap
35:15out the
35:15old tap
35:15for a much
35:16more practical
35:17pot filler
35:18then finish
35:20things off
35:20with a
35:20tiled splash
35:21back
35:21a simple
35:22touch
35:23but it will
35:23really help
35:24pull everything
35:25together
35:25from the
35:26toilet
35:27to the
35:28shower
35:28to the
35:29new
35:29vanity
35:31because in
35:32here
35:33Nathan may
35:34never forgive
35:35me
35:35but I'm
35:36tiling
35:37this entire
35:38wall
35:38with the
35:38same
35:39tiles
35:39so these
35:40tiles serve
35:41a purpose
35:42to three
35:42dysfunctional
35:44rooms and
35:44create one
35:45cohesive
35:46bathroom
35:47and here's
35:48my insider
35:49tip
35:49when you
35:50don't have
35:51the time
35:51or money
35:52to fix
35:52a seriously
35:53dingy looking
35:54shower floor
35:55these simple
35:57timber shower
35:58mats are
35:58perfect
35:59you can pick
36:00these up
36:00online in
36:01hardware stores
36:02they're really
36:03inexpensive
36:04you're going
36:05to put them
36:05on the floor
36:06of the shower
36:07the water
36:07will drain
36:08through
36:08and that means
36:09you're not
36:09going to be
36:09walking water
36:10back and
36:10forth through
36:11the bathroom
36:12and it's
36:13just going
36:13to be so
36:13much more
36:14attractive
36:20and the new
36:21flooring in
36:22the rest of
36:23the house
36:23it's like an
36:24instant refresh
36:26I've gone for
36:27a really really
36:28hard wearing
36:29vinyl laminate
36:30floor
36:31a holiday home
36:32needs to be
36:33super easy
36:34maintenance
36:34so the idea
36:35that you can
36:35just sweep
36:36up all the
36:37sand of the
36:37day is just
36:38exactly what
36:39people are
36:39looking for
36:40and the
36:41bleached
36:41tones give
36:42it a relaxed
36:42effortlessly
36:43coastal feel
36:49there is so
36:50little living
36:51space inside
36:51so I wanted
36:52to create
36:52a separate
36:54room
36:54an outdoor
36:55area
36:58now there
36:59is nothing
36:59I'm doing
37:00on this
37:00property

37:06adjustable
37:07feet
37:07so you
37:07can set
37:08the heights
37:08it allows
37:08the water
37:09to come
37:09through
37:09in and
37:10under
37:10and it
37:11enables
37:11you to
37:12look at
37:12that
37:12beautiful
37:13ocean
37:14honestly
37:15it is
37:16going to
37:16be a game
37:16changer
37:31when choosing
37:32plants for
37:33your garden
37:33or landscape

37:35to take in
37:36consideration

42:28little
42:28in fact it's
42:29zero
42:29which is about
42:30the same
42:30figure I thought
42:31the value of
42:32this property
42:32was
42:32so surely
42:34Wendy and
42:34Dennis have
42:35managed to
42:35raise the
42:36value with
42:36that tiny
42:3725k budget
42:41okay well

43:43but in this
43:45setting with
43:46this kind of
43:47property
43:47it's fantastic
43:49as for what

43:52like a chunk
43:53of cement
43:54that was sinking
43:55and taking the
43:56house with it
43:57the list of
43:58changes is
43:59endless
