Can you make money doing up property in today's market?

Yes, sort of.

After three months of hard labour and risking my own home, my total profit is just £6,082. Divide that into hours worked and I went through all this for just £4.51 an hour.

Sixteen-hour days for less than the minimum wage, sleeping on floorboards with no sanitation. Put six people in such a house and you might have a new reality television show to replace dated property programmes peddling a golden age I sadly missed.

boomed!
