Martin Roberts and Lucy Alexander visit a flat in Stratford, London, a semi-detached property in Whickham near Gateshead and an end-of-terrace property in Gravesend, Kent. All of these properties have been sold at auction. Martin and Lucy find out who bought them and what they paid when they went under the hammer.

Lucy meets a young family, originally from Estonia, who create a wonderful family home for themselves in London; and Martin is in Cornwall looking around a village barn.
