I bought an ex-council house, now I’m asking strangers to fund my renovation as I only have £15k to do it up & need more

A YOUNG woman has taken to the internet to ask people to pay for her house renovations.

Anya Roscoe, from the UK, put down a £15,000 deposit on a rundown ex-.

But Anya didn't realise that the would cost as much as they would.

She said: “60 days ago I purchased a £150k ex-council house as a single homeowner with only a £15k deposit and I'm using to gradually pay my way through the renovation.”

The new homeowner revealed it definitely wasn't her ‘dream home' or one she planned to stay in she wanted to make it into a home.

Anya said in an ideal world she was hoping to spend £15,000 on the renovations but that she suspected it would be more.

“I know it's gonna be a hell of a lot more,” she added. “So we're gonna say that the max budget is gonna be £30,000. And I'm definitely not living here at the minute because have you seen the actual state of it?”

She showed off some of the renovations she had already started and the house was clearly not in a liveable state.

Anya continued: “I'm not asking for , I'm not asking for a donation. All that I'm asking for is that if you got this far into the video please interact from the bottom up.

“I just feel like I would do that for a stranger if I knew that it would help them create their dream home.

“So I'm just hoping that there's at least someone out there that's feeling a little bit happy and generous today.”

Creators on TikTok can make money through TikTok's creator fund if they have over 10,000 followers, and she had over 500k.

TikTok bosses say: “The funds that each creator can earn are worked out by a combination of factors – including the number of views and the authenticity of those views, the level of engagement on the content, as well as making sure content is in line with our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.

No two creators or videos are the same, and there is no limit to the different kinds of content we will support with the fund.

“The Creator Fund total varies daily and is dependent on the amount of videos published by our community that day – so this will fluctuate based on the amount of content being published.”

Public Support

Anya's plea went viral on her TikTok account @anyaroscoe with over 3.8 million views and 850k likes.

The young woman was fully supported by people in the comments who were quick to interact with the video and boost her earnings from TikTok so she can transform her new home.

One person wrote: “Commenting so you get paid!!”

Another commented: “Honestly this will all be worth it. We bought an ex-council and made £60K on it when we sold. We only had it 2 years. We spent about £10K doing it up. It meant we could move and do it all again.”

“Boostinggg!” penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “Girl it's on my fyp woop woop…just ganna waffle so you get paid.”

“I can’t wait until it’s all done and see all the before and after!”; claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: “Wishing you the best with your home renovations. It will be so worth it.”
