Property Ladder
Stanmore
Amiya Kagalwala and Tracey Hamilton want to retire at 35, so they need to make some serious money. They've chosen to do this through property development - despite a complete absence of experience.
They've risked everything on their first property development, selling their house and moving into rented accommodation. However working full-time and property developing at the weekends isn't as much fun as they thought and their schedule is beginning to look increasingly unrealistic.
When Tracey finds out she's pregnant their priorities change. Suddenly Amiya goes from doing all of the work himself to hiring a project manager and a full team of professional labourers. Trouble is he won't step back and let the professionals do the job he's paying them for. His self-confessed obsessive personality means he meddles in every job, making the project take much longer than planned and totally blowing the budget.
