In the first episode, in Cardiff, Amanda arrives with design ideas and ú1000, but the homeowners only have a week to make the necessary changes to their homes to impress buyers Beth and Harriet. Colin and Sharon need to turn their kitchen-diner from cluttered to cosy; Christine has a deep purple dining room to update; and Nikki must bring some swagger to her tired detached home with the help of her friend Caroline.

In Surrey, three rival sellers are all competing to win an offer from buyers Nosheen and Shaheen, who are on the hunt for a new home. After snooping around each other's houses, Amanda gives each seller design ideas, £1000 and a week in which to improve their properties. Nadia and Osman bring seventies vibrancy to their bland town house living room and create a memorable dining room in the old garage. Vera brings boutique hotel glamour to her bedroom and revitalises her tired bathroom. Blair and Tammi turn a boring office into a deluxe bedroom and give their tired conservatory a jaunty nautical twist.
