Presenters cast their expert eyes over a number of properties before they go to auction, giving their opinion on the respective buildings and their potential. Once the properties are sold, the show's hosts check in with the buyers to find out their plans for any renovations or structural improvements. After a certain period of time, each project is re-visited to see how far things have progressed, and to see if everything has gone to plan financially. Estate agents are also invited along to study the work done and to provide a valuation. edit
