A little update about our day in Swansea today. Paul Ibbott

02/04/2026

It’s been a while since we’ve had anything to say here!

Back at it today in Swansea. Up at 4am, in Swansea by 8.45am for our first viewing.

Here’s a selection of the smelly and down right dilapidated places we saw today! Including a chip shop 🤔 which smelt better than all the other places we saw 🤣

Now on the way home to do the numbers and see if it’s worth making any cheeky offers 😉

A selection of pics from today’s viewings. Special thanks to Rob from Property Auction House in Swansea giving us so much time and advice.

It’s so good to get back to it.

Up very early and out. We’re back on the bridge heading to our investment area to view around 6 properties today. 🏠🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Operation retirement plan is back on after a bit of a break.

Looking forward to our next project, turning a smelly property into a decent family home. 🔨✏️🏠🪏

A day trip to Swansea today. Paul’s pleased with himself as he fitted new glass in two windows, mentored by Ben C Restoration 😍 whilst I ate lunch with the spiders 🕷️ 😳. I did manage some sanding and ceiling washing too 😜. The builders been in and fixed guttering, plumber has put in a few new radiators and proper pipe work. Still feels like a lot to do but it’s coming on. 🙌

Week 5 of renovations ….

Kitchen done ✅

Cleaned, redecorated (white) , new handles, scrubbed the hob, filled wood, made a start on the floor (still more to do). Happy days 💪

It’s a proper pea souper as we arrive at our place in Swansea. Week 4 or is it 5 of renovations? 2.5 days to prepare walls, ceilings and woodwork and begin decorating. Here goes 💪

Picked up the keys to our next refurb in Swansea yesterday. Looking forward to getting started 🔨 🪚 It doesn’t need as much work as the last one, redecorate throughout, tidy up (get rid of whatever those bugs are 😳) , clear garden, new bathroom, new kitchen doors and carpets. Hoping we (I mean Paul 😉) can do the bulk of it with a little help from our lovely builder down there. Watch this space for the transformation! 👏👏
