VIDEOThe young couple Lynn and Martijn switched tonight in the final episode of Buy without looking the help of real estate agent Alex and construction engineer Bob. With a budget of 400,000 euros, the couple was able to buy a great house in Apeldoorn, but their wishes were ‘totally unrealistic’, according to Bob. “Not for their age and not for their budget.”

Lynn and Martijn have been a couple for over ten years. They bought their first apartment in Apeldoorn years ago, but noticed that they grew out of it. The couple went house hunting together, but they did not find their dream home. This was partly due to the fact that Martijn was ‘a good doubter’. Lynn saw only one way out: the team of Buy without looking in the hope that they would make a good purchase.
With a budget of 400,000, the young couple did well, according to Alex. However, there were some requirements: it had to be a 1930s house, preferably detached or semi-detached, with at least three bedrooms, an attic or attic and a beautiful garden. And perhaps the most important requirement: the house had to be located in a certain area. Alex wasn’t too happy about that. “The shivers always run down my spine, from head to toe, when I see a lot of crotches.”
Totally unrealistic
Bob was also curious about the wishes of the couple. Martijn preferred wood and industrial, Lynn loved warm colours. One of the mood boards showed a very expensive stove worth no less than 11,000 euros. “Just cross it out,” Lynn joked. But Bob had already come to a conclusion: the wishes of the two were ‘totally unrealistic’. Not for their age, not for their budget. Totally unrealistic. If you talk a little further, you find out that they can actually bend to things that might be possible.” And so Bob had pinned his hopes on that.
Meanwhile, Alex was looking for suitable housing in good spirits, but due to the strict demands of Lynn and Martijn, there was virtually nothing left. Concessions had to be made and Alex was therefore very hard: “Either we split up or we come up with a new plan.” Lynn and Martijn chose the latter. “I think you have to give us the confidence that we are simply getting the best out of the market for you that is possible,” Alex reassured the couple.
Not enthusiastic
A few weeks later Alex came across a gem: a detached house in Apeldoorn. The house still had a lot of work to do, but Bob saw that. The house was bought and Lynn and Martijn were sent on a treasure hunt. When they arrived at the house they had bought, there was no sign of enthusiasm on their faces. “I find it really annoying that it looks like that in your garden, that it is so crammed,” Martijn referred to the houses that were built around their house. “You’ll just see they bought it,” Lynn joked, not knowing that was actually the case.
When presenter Martijn Krabbé later revealed that the detached house was really theirs, Lynn and Martijn seemed relieved for a while. But once inside, she was immediately shocked again. “A lot has to be done here”, said Martijn. Lynn, meanwhile, looked around startled. ,,It’s small… How do you get a third bedroom here?” she wondered. Martijn tried to soothe her, but in vain. “I wouldn’t have bought it myself. I hadn’t even gone to see it,” she said.

nerves
Fortunately, there was architect Bob, who would completely renovate Lynn and Martijn’s house to their wishes. For example, a dormer window was placed, the kitchen was renovated and he decided to replace windows and doors with a facade. The house also contained asbestos, which was professionally removed. Lynn and Martijn did not have to worry about their health. In the meantime, stylist Roos was busy with the furnishing and the use of color.
On the big day Lynn and Martijn had a lot of nerves. They hadn’t completely forgotten the shock of last time either. “I hope it feels a bit more spacious,” Lynn expressed her concerns to Krabbé. But the nerves of the two soon gave way to joy when they saw that the house had a dormer. And also inside the two looked their eyes wide. ,,We don’t have to leave here and we certainly won’t go’, Martijn finally concluded with a big smile on his face.
