A one-bedroom ground-floor flat in St Margaret's at Cliffe in Kent, a large terrace house in Dalton-in-Furness in Cumbria and a three-bedroom semi in Great Barr in Birmingham are all sold under the hammer. Martin Roberts, Dion Dublin and Martel Maxwell meet the new owners to hear what they plan for their auction buys.

Martin Roberts visits a rundown mid-terrace in Dover bought by a plucky first-time developer. Martell Maxwell is in Dudley, West Midlands, viewing an old retail unit, while Dion Dublin is in Manchester looking round a real shell of a building.
