An end-terrace in Walsall in the West Midlands, a basement flat in Tunbridge Wells and a bungalow in Hinkley in Leicestershire are bought under the hammer by developers hoping to make some money.

A couple moving to France buy a quaint terraced cottage in Clent in Worcestershire, a couple who have just moved back home from abroad buy a terraced house in south Croydon, London, and two friends have plans to turn a large house in Edgbaston, Birmingham, into a money spinner. Martin, Lucy and Dion meet the new owners and follow the progress of the investors hoping to make money from their auction buys.
