Homes Under the Hammer

The episode follows two separate heritage projects. First, a former Victorian miner’s cottage in County Durham is slated for a full makeover, aiming to breathe new life into the historic dwelling. The second focus is a former school in Royal Tunbridge Wells, where the new owners have set out ambitious renovation plans to reshape the building. Both sites, steeped in local history, will be tackled by the owners who hope to balance preservation of original character with modern improvements. The programme highlights the practicalities and aspirations involved in converting these distinctive properties for contemporary use. Throughout the series, viewers get a glimpse of the challenges faced during structural repairs and interior redesigns.

Martin Roberts, Tommy Walsh and Dion Dublin front an episode that tracks the fortunes of properties as they change hands across three separate locales – Nottingham, Bournemouth and north London. The trio keeps a close eye on each property’s journey from one owner to the next, noting how the shift in ownership influences the perceived value and future prospects of the asset. By concentrating on these three distinct areas, the programme provides a comparative look at how the process of buying and selling unfolds in different parts of the country, while the presenters maintain a consistent focus on the evolving fortunes of the houses themselves.

In this episode, Martin Roberts and Martel Maxwell find themselves juggling a double assignment in Dorset, where they must tackle two separate dwellings, while also travelling up to Cumbria to resolve the odd problem of a missing toilet. The contrasting locations and the unexpected snag keep the duo on their toes, demanding quick thinking and practical solutions. Both tasks require careful planning and a hands‑on approach, as they work within the limits of each property. Even with the pressure of the dual Dorset projects and the peculiar Cumbria issue, the pair manage to deliver impressive make‑overs, turning the properties around and showcasing their knack for practical renovation.
