viewers were left confused moments into Worst House On The Street as the premise of the show didn't appear to match what they were seeing on screen. Sibling experts and Stuart Douglas were in Leicester to help a woman called Lianne turn her "worst house" into a habitable home so she and her father could move out of her brother Jonathan's house. However many people felt it was already a decent property and that the hosts were overselling the premise.
Taking to X with their complaints, one person wrote: "@Channel4 I don't understand, it's hardly the worst house like their saying, it looks fine from the outside and not unlike all the other houses #worsthouseonthestreet". Another agreed commenting: "They're struggling to make this house seem awful when it's not really that bad! #WorstHouseOnTheStreet." A third chimed in: "These guys wanting everyone to believe a traditional house is ugly ... I wouldn't walk past that house and think rah that house is rough , come on guys fix up ! #worsthouseonthestreet."
Others took umbrage with Scarlette and Stuart's advice following their appraisal of the property. "No visible pendant (light) in the dining room means rewire the house? Oh good lord, this pair! Utter nonsense. #worsthouseonthestreet." one penned.
"I wouldn't actually let Stuart and Scarlette in after that first visit with all their opinions about splashes of colour and doom talk #worsthouseonthestreet," another admitted.
Meanwhile another viewer added: "These guys really don't like when people want to decorate THEIR home their own way! #worsthouseonthestreet."
Having bought the property for £212,000 several years ago, Lianne had a budget of just £25,000 to transform the property which both Scarlette and Stuart admitted was "tight" as she had big plans for the house. With Jonathan getting married, she and her father also had a tight time frame.
Scarlette and Stuart introduced Lianne to auction houses in an attempt to help her save money on the renovation.
They also shared some tips for upcycling some of the existing features which she couldn't afford to replace.
The project took longer than expected in the end, taking 18 weeks, but they managed to come in on budget. Stuart admitted he was "flabbergasted" they had managed to pull it off.
The final valuation came in at £292,000 for Lianne's total £237,000 investment.
