We've all dreamed of living the good life: fresh country air and the great outdoors, but how about your own slice of the country in suburban Sydney? Well, that's exactly what Andrew and Erika Coombe set out to achieve. They bought their overgrown bush block, complete with a rambling country-style home 10 years ago in smart, suburban West Ryde and have cherished its rustic charm. But now with two young boys and one on the way, the Coombes want to make a move to the country full-time. 

Unfortunately, your average Sydney buyer doesn't share their love of all things overgrown and if they are brave enough to fight through the garden to the house, they're greeted with a 1950s time warp, dark wood panelling and cluttered rooms. It's enough to send any buyer running, and that's before they've seen the price tag - almost a million dollars. 

Lesley urgently needs help to sell her dated, dark house with its dungeon-like brick interior. Can Andrew, Charlie and Shaynna transform it into the big beach house buyers expect from this fabulous coastal location?

If there's one thing that helps a sale, it's a great entrance, something Jason and Estella's house is sadly missing. It's also lacking street appeal with only an end gable visible. 

While living overseas, Natasha Bayliss purchased a two-bedroom terrace in Erskineville, without viewing it. Rising damp, crumbling walls and a wreck of a kitchen are just the start of the problems. Now years of neglect have come back to haunt Natasha. She and her husband both lost their jobs and with two children to support, they need to sell the Erskineville terrace, but buyers are taking one look and running in the other direction. 

Carl and Karen Harrison broke the No.1 rule in real estate: they bought before they sold. Now Carl and Karen are juggling two mortgages and Carl is suffering from serious heart problems. It's a heartbreaking situation for the Harrisons, and it's weighing heavily on the family. Their only way out is to turn their daggy, old home from frumpy to fabulous.

Gravedigger Sean bought his ideal house opposite a graveyard and began massive renovations. Now, desperate to sell, potential buyers are turned off by the spooky location. Can the team resurrect this sale?
