Woman spent £3k renovating rundown council house

  • 9 months ago
A woman who rented a run-down council house has spent £3k renovating it - using bargains from Primark and B&M - and saved £10k by doing the work herself.

Celene Francis, 25, started renting her council house in April 2020 and has renovated the property to make it more of a home.

When she moved in, the mum-of-one said the house was in a "dire condition" with plaster all over the floor, yellow ceilings and wallpaper peeling off the wall.

But that didn't stop Celene from gutting the house and putting her own stamp on her new home.
