Homes Under the Hammer
A trio of terraces in Norfolk, Mid Glamorgan and Essex are transformed by seasoned developers who battle the rising cost of building materials to turn a profit on their auction buys.
Tommy is on the hunt for a missing toilet in a house in Leicestershire. Jacqui is tackling a three-bedroom semi in Doncaster with damp and an avocado bathroom suite amongst other issues. She’s also on the Essex coast, where a husband-and-wife team have high hopes for an equally high-rise property.
Terraces in Summerstown in London and Darlington are bought at auction by investors, as is a semi-detached house in Crewe. Two of the properties are given wonderful makeovers, while the third is flipped for a profit without any work being done.
In Dunfermline and Ladywell, two one-bedroom flats in bad states of repair are transformed into smart homes, and a huge former hostel in Torquay is also given an appealing renovation. But will the developers who bought the properties at auction manage to make any profits?
An end terrace in Manchester, a flat in Liverpool and a semi in Stoke-on-Trent are sold at auction and snapped up by developers hoping to make a profit on their investments. Martin, Dion and Jacqui follow their progress, which varies from a swift 20 days to more than four years.
A silver-themed house in Sheffield, but it’s not a shining example for Dion. Martin is perplexed by the smallest radiator he’s ever seen in south Wales... or anywhere else for that matter!
Tommy masks up as he investigates an odour filled townhouse in Windsor. Dion has to do some exploring to find a hidden gem in the form of a three-bed bungalow in Wetherby. And Martel chats to a couple who invest in a holiday flat by the Ayrshire coast in Largs.
Not one but two Surrey cottages are sold together at an online auction, Martin meets friends who develop a two-bedroom flat in Wiltshire for one of them to live in, and Tommy's getting a taste of 'The Good Life' in Surbito.
A property with beautiful views on the east coast of Scotland, a bundle of properties near Norwich including a barn and a house, and a trio of terraces in Sheffield are sold at auction. Dion, Martel and Tommy meet the developers who hope to make a profit on their investments.
Coastal properties are the flavour of the day with Martin, wowed by the surroundings of a property on the Gower Peninsula, and Jacqui finds herself in a time warp on the east coast of Suffolk. Martel heads inland to see a plot of land in Birmingham.
Two unusual properties in rural Kent and Yorkshire and an impressive large Victorian end terrace in Greater Manchester are sold at auction. Martin, Martel and Tommy talk to the developers and hear their plans to make the most of their property investments.
A house with a quirky layout in Maidstone, a flat in North Shields and an office in Bognor Regis with planning permission for a flat above it are all sold at online auctions.
Properties in Wakefield in West Yorkshire, Bintree in Norfolk and Folkestone in Kent are bought at auction. Dion, Jacqui and Tommy meet the buyers and follow progress as they work on their development projects.
Tommy visits a two-bed terrace in Stockport, Martin is just outside Stoke-on-Trent, and we return to a mixed lot in Milton in Staffordshire that Dion first visited in early 2021.
A semi-detached destined to be the buyers' home in Felixstowe, a seven-year project to transform a tired bungalow to help the community in Willenhall and a trendy warehouse apartment in Toxteth are sold under the hammer. Martin, Dion and Tommy check out the projects and meet the developers.
A terrace in Worksop, a studio apartment in a Bath Georgian crescent and a house with several flats near Liverpool FC's Anfield stadium are all sold under the hammer. Martin and Dion meet the investors hoping to make some money from their buys.
A characterful, Grade II-listed one-bedroom flat in Bath, a two-bed terrace in Stoke-on-Trent and a pair of terraced houses split into flats go under the hammer.
A one-bedroom flat in Hackney, a semi in Stoke-on-Trent and a cottage with huge potential in a village just outside Bath are sold at online property auctions. Once renovated, the developers who bought them all hope to turn a profit on their investments.
It’s a family affair today as two sets of siblings and a father and son team transform auction properties in Leek, Selly Park and Aberfan.
Today's property development projects run from seven weeks to several years. Martin and Dion track progress on renovations in Bristol and Blackley and a building project on land in Stoke.
