Did anyone watch Georges castle last night on SBS. He is an over 50 Italian hairdresser who has married the love of his life (19) and went for a drive to Mt Martha, called in at an auction, and boughta 5.3M old castle/mansion. The program shows them restoring it from getting the money from the bank (he hadnt arranged finance beforehand) having all the rellies painting, choosing fittings etc. My laugh was when he engaged a new real estate agent to sell his townhouse in South Yarra (which was passed in at auction by those last rogues of rea) and the REa proceeds to tell him the troube with this house is its in a little back laneway, and he, the expert, then tells the rea he doesnt know what he is talking about its the most fab t/house with the most fab position and its inner city living. Laughed my head off and thought, thats why it didnt sell last time (obviously thinks its worth way more than it is) and will be most interested to see if it sells this time. Gorgeous old place, they will turn into a upmarket retreat
