It is after seeing the house in person, they realized how much work they would need to do to bring it in good shape. It was after coming to the spot they realized that the house was gradually sinking into the ground, the roof had come out and the local council had categorized the mansion as “dangerous.”
Partial Collapse
She later revealed, ‘It was in a state of partial collapse, it was subsiding, there were gaping holes in the roof and walls, the timbers were rotten and the land was waterlogged. Derelict was too mild a word.’ Despite, the mansion’s bad condition, they were hopeful.
Good Location
Claire said, “We love the house and its stunning location in a village on the edge of a Scottish loch. It’s all been a beautiful mistake. S”If we can tackle this, we can tackle anything — it’s going to take us much longer than a year but just think of the life skills we are going to learn along the way.”
Feeling Determined
Claire said, Their friends and families criticized their decision and called the mansion inhospitable. However, they did not let all those criticisms affect them. The crumbling walls and the damaged interior did discourage them a bit but at the same time, they were positive that this mansion was meant to change into something beautiful.
Renovation
By now they had realized that the process of renovation will take a long time to complete. It means they will have to wait for a while to sell the mansion. But they also knew that the mansion would pay them well once renovated. However, they suffered a blow when they learned that the renovation was going to charge them a big amount.
Doing It Properly
They had to make a choice. They knew that the renovation was very demanding financially but they knew all along once renovated, the mansion earn them a lot of money. If they were willing to renovate, they would have to invest in all their money. And in order to save money, they had to change their living situation.
