Robert and Aaron

[dees1]

Wasn't it you and me that suggested the 23rd?

I think so ;)

I think Robert is clueless, the fact that he doesn't explain fully what they were talking about doesn't help.

I think Bex didn't know about Gordon's money, that was only Chas, Charity, Robert and Liz (Aaron of course as well), and I don't think circumstances have happened where it would be shared.

Rob had £500k from the business/divorce, spend £40k on the haulage firm so should have around £460k minimum left we haven't been told he has spent any other significant sum. I am sure Aaron/Liv mean't house for them all.

I am suspicious of the glances of Aaron in the make-up mirror, it just seemed a little sneaky and as if she was up to something.

I am sure all will be revealed but you can see how Aaron will become paranoid about her and Robert, oh have I mentioned I think Robert is clueless, that or the writers have forgotten what happened between Bex/Robert/Aaron where she tried to split them up.

Oh yeah Robert is definitely being written as naïve for the purpose of this plot. Whether it's so he can be taken in by Rebecca and fooled or whether he's just being like this to fuel Aaron's paranoia and insecurities we don't know yet.

I should add I deducted 20k for the stuff Robert has bought like engagement rings and stuff which I why I said 440k thought I should make that clear.

I have no idea how much houses cost there but if the Mill was going to be divided into flats and is completely gutted it will need a lot of money spent after they actually bought it, so would they need the Gordon money and that money from Robert?

I could understand and possibly accept the friendship thing on Robert's side if there had been something in between the kiss reveal and tonight's scene's but I'm afraid it all seemed a bit rushed and contrived - if that makes sense.

Good point, most of us expected them not to even really be speaking. Rob seems to have swept it under the carpet even though apart from publically revealing the kiss, Rebecca also tried to blackmail him & he still has this notion that she's a lovely girl. Having said that, I still enjoyed the ep & really liked the Liv/Aaron scenes today!!

Yeah the Mill was originally £330,000 when Jimmy sold it, I think. It'll probably only sell for £200-250k now, but the build costs could be that amount again, so half a million. It will pay off in the end if they sell two flats on.

Plus maybe they can't get a mortgage due to fire damage and dry rot. Some auction properties are auctioned for the reason of attracting cash buyers

Just looked - dereliction and extensive dry rot would make a mortgage unlikely

They are in North Yorkshire, The Mill, in that state, would sell for around £495-595k if in a good state, depending on who is at the auction it may reach around this level but renovations would be extensive and expensive. Aaron and Liv, were they offered £250k each from Gordon's estate? even if its £250k between them all of that would be a significantly large deposit, if Rob matched they could buy the property and mortgage for the renovations, with such a big deposit and both Robron are working most banks would loan without any issues. Actually most banks would loan even if they put just 50% in.

EDIT, just seen Tink02 note, I had forgotten what Jimmy sold it for so amend my notes accordingly and they would have NO ISSUE affording it together.

Sorry to be ot for a sec but my friend just said to me she thought laurel would end up having a fling with the carer and I assumed he was gay but he does seem to be set up for doing something with someone

Could be. BTW I believe Aaron has a scene with Laurel next week regarding Ashley's care. Aaron does have experience of caring for Jackson so that must be why. Actually I think it nice seeing Aaron in a scene with someone he normally doesn't interact with.

Liv and Aaron only got just over £300k as Gordon must have had debts and maybe inheritance tax. Well Liv got that ;)

On Homes under the Hammer, they regularly show properties that can't get mortgages and some are in a better state than the Mill
