8Kirk MerringtonAnn Maurice and Alistair Appleton tackle a cottage in Kirk Merrington, Co Durham, that has been on the market for eight months. The property is full of items that remind the owner of her late husband, and interior design expert Ann declares that they are the main problem as no prospective buyers can imagine making the place their own.
9HammersmithAnn Maurice and Alistair Appleton head for Hammersmith, west London, where a couple hoping to move to their dream home in Surrey are frustrated at not being able to sell their two-bedroom flat. A tour of the property reveals the problem is a combination of factors.

A few coats of paint to neutralise the colour scheme, some effective storage ideas and a ruthless purge of useless items certainly impress the owner.

14Compilation 2Ann Maurice and Alistair Appleton look back over highlights from the series. A two-bedroom semi in the Black Country made quite an impression, thanks to the unmistakable smell of dogs and a large collection of dolls, as did a cottage in Northamptonshire that seemed to have four sitting rooms.
15Compilation 3Ann Maurice and Alistair Appleton look back on more highlights. They recall a basement flat in Stoke Newington, north London, that was putting off potential buyers because of its dark rooms, out-of-date fixtures and general messiness, and remember a cramped cottage in Quorn, Leicestershire.
