Homes Under the Hammer’s Martin Roberts shares a crucial tip for house buyers: never open the fridge in a property, especially during renovations or auctions.
Blaencwm: So, Martin Roberts, the guy from Homes Under the Hammer, just dropped a wild tip for anyone looking to buy a house. He’s been on the show since 2003, and he knows his stuff.
He says the biggest no-no when buying a renovation property, especially at auction, is to never open the fridge. Seriously! He warns that if you see a fridge, just walk away. A freezer? Even worse! It’s like opening a can of worms you don’t want to deal with.
During a chat, he also mentioned that people often ask if they only show the success stories on the show. He clarified that it’s all real—sometimes folks don’t come back if they’ve lost money, but that’s part of the game.
Martin loves helping people learn about property investment. He often hears from fans who say they got inspired by the show and are now diving into their own projects.
Right now, he’s busy renovating a pub in Blaencwm, which he bought “by accident.” He’s sharing the whole journey on his YouTube series called ‘Oops I Bought A Pub.’ It’s a passion project for him, and he’s really fallen for the local community.
So, if you’re thinking about buying a house, remember Martin’s fridge advice. It could save you from a nasty surprise!
