Retiree John and insurance broker Sharyn live in a four-bed home in St Ives Chase. They are the classic empty-nesters with a home that's stuck in the 1970s. Sharyn is embarrassed by their daggy house and wants to release the capital in the property to fund a modern sea change. John is very committed to staying. He loves the location and the serenity and is very resistant to change. 

Neale not only has to bring this home up to date to persuade Sharyn to stay but he has to also convince John that the changes are for the better. Andrew has to show John that life can exist somewhere other than St Ives Chase.

When newlyweds Kieran and Riley bought their two-bed terrace in Sydney's Paddington, they thought they'd hit the jackpot. Now Riley's thoughts are turning to the future and a more family-friendly home.
