Is it just me or is something not adding up here?

I was under the impression the idea was:

repeat
buy a house
do it up
sell it for a profit
take said profit and add original capital
until repeated seven times and you flog your 1 million pound house

this is indeed how it was sold to the viewer.

It is (as you have noticed) glaringly obviously not meeting this claim:

Quite why the Beeb even started with the mis-advertising is a mystery
as IMHO each individual program is quite instructive in what to
do (and not to do) and it stands alone without the fictional claims

Last night was the first time they mentioned adding 'additional investment'
to improve the properties, I've been listening out for that. It is indeed a
complete con.
