A fifth-floor flat in Greater Manchester, a three-bed semi in Carlisle and three commercial buildings near Stanstead are all sold under the hammer. One of the developers has a pressing deadline to finish his renovation work - he needs to be done in time for the lambing season. But will anyone be flocking to live in his refurbished property when it's done?

Martin, Lucy and Dion meet father-and-daughter teams up and down the country who are doing up property sold under the hammer. An apartment in a former mill in Mow Cop on the Staffordshire/Cheshire border, a three-bedroom semi in London's East Ham and a flat in Bournemouth are all given makeovers with the help of dad.
