A beautiful six-bedroom house packed full of period features in Newport in south Wales, a two-bedroom flat near Blackpool's Golden Mile that has lots of potential, and a charming two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bradford are all bought at auction. All three buyers have experience of developing properties, but will they all manage to make a profit this time?

A Victorian house in London's Crystal Palace, a charming chalet bungalow in Rackheath near Norwich and large end terrace house in Canterbury in Kent are sold at auction. Two are bought as investments, the other as a family home, and all three prove trickier to develop than first thought.
