Mary has played her like Chezza did. It’ll be in joint names and as soon as it’s done up and will sell for a profit, he’ll be out of there with a few hundred grand to take with him.I reckon this house has been bought through the business little legs is involved in. They do houses up using money from bridging finance and investor loans (I've no idea what the interest rates on these would be), then rent them out. The make ups could easily live in the house (if it's all done 'in house' nobody would know they're not the homeowners) whilst renovating it using all the trades he'll know plus his own special panelling, and at the end of the project, they become the tenants the landlords (the business he's involved with) rent to. Now I know nothing about laws surrounding owning/renting out property but could they pay lower rent/interest fees but then sell it a few years down the line and make a big profit? I think Delo is doing this to get some personal financial security for the future as he has nothing in the current house, and she brings nothing to the table thanks to all her failed ventures and a penchant for disliking work preferring to drink Starbies dry of egg nogs.
