A couple of end terraces in Preston and Mid-Glamorgan and a semi-detached in Newcastle are sold under the hammer. Martin and Martel meet the new owners who are ready to tackle the projects with the aim of making a profit on their investments.

A house in Hednesford in Staffordshire, and two retail spaces in Norwich and Weymouth are bought at online auctions by developers who all see the bricks and mortar as investments. All three projects take longer, or cost more than originally planned, but the investors reckon they will still turn a profit.
