    Just a bit of time travel included in the budget.

    I'd have liked to have seen a bit more of the last part of the build but they just skipped that bit.

    That extension to the front is vile. I'd be bulling if I was a neighbour

    The kitchen cupboards look like he stuck some wardrobes into the kitchen. 🤮

    I like the garden, very nice, but I feel the house has very little character. Their little fella is lovely

    Very well done with limited space.

    Just tuned in. What an eyesore out front. I wouldn't fancy that next door to me

    Ugh a bit cringe at the end, tearful praise of Dermot as Dermot laughs his way to the bank! The builder should have got some praise, he actually built it!!

    But they got the house of their dreams and they're a nice family.

    Likely €700k by the time the garden and gym is included, is that a record spend for Room to Improve?

    The fact there's a huge green right out the front was a big part of their thinking on that I think

    You would wonder how planning is granted to buildings that change the aesthetics of an area so much. On the back no problem, but not on the front.

    Wonder what the landscaping cost? Looked very expensive. Not the most child friendly back garden. Does the son even live there? She looked a bit surprised to see him when he ran in for the hug near the end.

    What is the point of a budget when you’re gonna go 228k above!

    Was the cooker on the island? if so was there an extraction fan above? If not, what was that on the island?

    Didn't like the front, as per most others. Not really sure what they got for €650k. Looks nice, but apart from the garden nothing gave me a woah!

    I thought that was a lovely finished house.

    Three nice good sized bedrooms with plenty of storage. Kitchen was such an improvement. Garden room/gym a great idea for growing boy. They'll need to break down a fence portion into the sisters though.

    The front of the house wouldn't bother me. Plus a very handy bike store.

    I wish them well.

    Was there any en-suite bathrooms ? Only got a glimpse of the main bathroom changed to a wet room.

    I guess the young fella won't be spending too much time playing in the back garden. And he's several years away from getting use out of the gym.

    Bike shed in the front won't get his bike in with what's already there.

    I like the interior, but not the island. Looks very cold and clinical.

    Ridiculous.

    I can't see really where all that money went.

    T'was fairly clear from the word go that 400k wasn't really the budget, but rather an uneducated figure they had in mind. As soon as he pointed out it would be a lot more for what they wanted, they were grand with it. As they said, the 'wishlist' was much more important than that figure.

    ince inside but a bit lacking in charicter and cosyness.

    front extention is not to my taste at all. i dont understand why the bike shed is so small compared to the size of the bit sticking out.

    28k over isnt too bad considering .

    that garden must be 20k judging by last weeks costing for a few trees.

    that garden gym must be 40k minium. ceder cladding, rubber roof with lantern, huge window/ door. etc

    Can have built in island extractors that suck from below instead of above, or also ones where the extractor rises up when you're cooking, and sinks back down into the island when you're not.
