Martin visits a two-bed semi in Stafford in the West Midlands bought by a couple of renovation rookies. He also heads to Worthing in West Sussex to see an interesting mixed commercial and residential lot. Martel is in Doncaster to see a two-bed mid-terrace bought by a pair of London-based developers.

A trio of terraces are sold under the hammer in Clifton near Penrith in Cumbria, Derby and Crowland near Peterborough. All the developers are relatively new to the renovation game, but all are confident they can make a profit from their auction investments.
