However, it didn't come without a few disputes with their neighbours.
Billie, 33, has given glimpses of the work that she and her husband have done on the four-bedroom 1920s home in Brentwood and recently revealed it is "finally starting to feel complete".
While the work on their Brentwood home is impressive, it's not what Billie and Greg had originally planned.
They purchased the home for £1.4million (billiefaiersoffical/Instagram)The couple had hoped to create a five-bed home with a two-storey extension, gym, games room and huge walk-in wardrobe.
However, their proposals were refused planning permission after objections from neighbours who branded the renovations as "excessive" and not in line with other homes nearby.
However amended plans were subsequently approved and their new home includes a swimming pool, jacuzzi and fire pit.
The renovation work has caused tensions with neighbours with Billie reportedly 'at war' with nearby residents after her initial plans to knock down the property and rebuild a five-bedroom home were rejected.
