Resource manager Alixe and trainee carpenter Loy have six months to transform a two-bed semi in Abercarn, south Wales, into a family home. It's not in bad condition, but Alixe and Loy cross swords over whether to knock through the living room. They compromise by putting a skylight into the small dark kitchen. The renovation goes to the wire and with only a few days left to sell, will the house make a profit? 

Kelly and Gemma renovate a one-bed terrace hoarder's house in Haworth, West Yorkshire complete with a mummified rat. The pair attempt to turn a one-bedroom into two but even after they clear the mess, they still have to face the council for permission.
