\nThis property show gives teams \u00a3100,000 each to revamp houses and turn a profit \u2013 when they\u2019re not botching their budgets or nearly electrocuting themselvesBoy, does it ever feel like the wrong time to be watching property shows \u2013 unless perhaps they have been retooled to show us how to insulate them to cope with the energy crisis, or turn a downstairs loo into a vermin-proof larder to guard against food shortages, or install a lead-lined bunker ready for the apocalyptic combination of the above and more. But no. That old warhorse Location, Location, Location is back; Sarah Beeny is about to return with Little House, Big Plans; and, in between them, is George Clarke\u2019s Flipping Fast (Channel 4).This new show, has, at least, captured something of the zeitgeist by adding a competitive element \u2013 and a faint whiff of desperation that thickens as the series progresses \u2013 to the standard property show. Six teams get \u00a3100,000 each to buy, revamp and resell as many places as they can for as much profit as they can in the space of a year. At the end of that time, the team that\u2019s made the most profit gets to keep the \u00a3100,000 \u2013 as blandly personable host George Clarke puts it. I suspect the winner actually gets an additional \u00a3100,000. If the losing teams have to pay theirs back, it would bankrupt most of them and make for a very dark ending to the series. Still, it\u2019s 2022 \u2013 it would be in keeping. I advise all competitors to check the small print. Continue reading…
