Default 20 ways to loose money on your house...

The REAL bottom line is.

Leaving out
stone cladding
swimming pools (I'm sure that 99% of viewers were discussing that for hours
after the prog ended)

Such properties that have many of the other 18 'features' are often 10-15%
below market price. All of these problems can be erased for the outlay of a
few hundred.
I would be tempted to target these properties to buy a place for 10-20% less
than its worth.
