A substantial Kent property divided into flats, a three-bedroom house, small workshops in Derbyshire and a one-bedroom flat in a leafy Surrey town are all sold at auction. They all need work done on them if their new owners are going to make any money.

Martin and Lucy meet a father-and-son team with high-end plans for a Surrey bungalow, two friends who plan to renovate a one-bedroom flat in Gateshead and a man with lofty ambitions to convert an Edwardian water tower into a home.
