HOMES Under The Hammer fans have dubbed a £1m property transformation in London on the BBC series the ‘naffest ever seen’.
Before the auction, host Tommy Walsh visited the grim property, which was left in a state of disrepair.
However, two property developer brothers gave the one-bedroom London flat a drastic transformation, which saw the property with a guide price of £195k end up worth a whopping £1m.
But Homes Under The Hammer viewers were left unimpressed and took to X(Twitter) to express their thoughts.
One viewer penned: “That £1m London flat is one of the most naff refurbishments I’ve ever seen! Vile! #HomesUnderTheHammer.”
Another commented: “Well, money can’t buy taste #homesunderthehammer.”

They later added incredulously:”£4000 pcm for that ‘luxury’ one bed! #homesunderthehammer.”
A third said: “You wouldn’t dare criticise that hideous decor, would you?! #homesunderthehammer.”
Meanwhile, someone else questioned: “£1 million for a one-bedroom flat? #homesunderthehammer #huth.”
During the episode, it was revealed that the property hadn’t been lived in for two years, and aside from the dated decor, there were many underlying issues.

As he entered the kitchen, Tommy commented on the size, but acknowledged that it was the only positive thing he could say about the flat.
He said: “I know this has been empty for two years this flat, but look at that cooker.
“That is in a shocking state. I think that is probably the worst, most unclean cooker I’ve ever seen.”
Tommy added that nothing could be saved in the property and that everything would need to be stripped back to the bare brickwork.
He also highlighted the fact that the leasehold had a mere 78 years left, which would need to be taken into account.
Even though much work needed to be done on the property, it didn’t deter the siblings, who purchased the property for over double the guide price.
They admitted to having a budget of £150-£200,000 for renovating it.
In the area where the property was located, the average price of a flat is around £1 million, and it was estimated that after renovation, they could get up to £900,000 for the property.
And if they wanted to rent it out the valuation was around £3,000 per calendar month.
The flat was situated in a fantastic location, just half a mile from Pimlico tube station and a mile from the Thames.
Later on in the show, when the team revisited the property, it was unrecognisable.
The brothers proudly showed it off, revealing that they had knocked through walls, with the kitchen and living room now open-plan.
The tacky and outdated filthy yellow kitchen was now full of modern black marble.
Black marble is also featured in the bathroom and living room space.
The brothers also managed to sort out the leasehold, which is now for a whopping 999 years.
The original valuer was seriously impressed with the makeover and said the brothers could easily receive £1 m for the flat.

He also increased the rental expectations from £3,000 to £4,000 monthly.
