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. 

Akmal and Catie purchased a 7 acre plot with 1 bedroom shack and planned to build their home. The reality, however, was rain, leeches, rats and snakes. With the property now on the market, Andrew now has to negotiate with the council to make it a legal dwelling.
