Three competing homeowners in North Wessex snoop around each other's houses looking for inspiration on how to improve their own. Armed with what they've learned and expert advice from Amanda Lamb, they'll get a week and £1000 before buyer Hollie comes to view. Anne proves a little money can go a long way by bringing colour to her garden, revamps her summer house and updates her daughter's bedroom. Christine and John must make their cottage cosier by focusing on the mismatched dining room, and Kathy and Steve create a new downstairs bedroom from an underused snug and bring grandeur to their lounge.

Amanda is in Berkshire helping three house sellers give their homes a ready-to-market makeover in a bid to win an offer from buyer Ellie. Chris and Fiona must de-chintz their bedroom. Natalie and Oliver decide to remove the burlesque dancing pole from their bedroom and hide the lizards in the lounge. And Joey and Lisa look to banish the beige from their lounge.
