She revealed that she “couldn’t have been more naïve” about the process
A woman who says she was ‘effectively homeless’ while doing up a home she bought for just £1 has shared pictures of the stunning transformation. Maxine Sharples put in a bid at the extraordinary rate in 2015, under a scheme which sold dilapidated houses off cheaply in exchange for homeowners’ agreement to use their own money and resources to bring it back to life.
She was initially given just 12 months to complete renovations, but this was extended during the pandemic, report Liverpool Echo. She had an architect draw up a complete redesign of the house’s layout, giving it a totally new lease of life. “With tradespeople in short supply, I took to a lot of labouring myself. I began the rip out by myself. It took me nine months to get the house back to brick with a rotary hammer and borrowed electricity from my neighbours. A hole in the roof meant a tree had taken root, water ingress, asbestos, rat infestations, you name it, it had it all.”
She could not be more excited to finally be moving in the dream house that she has worked so hard for. She said: “I’ve essentially been homeless for two years, as I moved into my campervan to save money. Having underfloor heating is going to be such a luxury, triple glazed windows and a place to hang my plants once and for all. I’ve moved so many times in my life, from Liverpool at the age of six and back at the age of 18, I feel I can finally settle in a house that I brought back to life.
