Beckenham

Property expert Ann Maurice offers advice to a couple in Beckenham, Kent, whose 1930s-style house has been on the market for more than 14 months. She wastes no time in getting down to business, renting modern furniture, stripping the hall of clutter, exposing original features and neutralising the wallpaper.

Glasgow

Garelochhead

Property expert Ann Maurice offers advice to the owner of a four-bedroom Victorian villa in Garelochhead, Argyll and Bute. The house has been on the market for two months, and Ann thinks she knows why - it is far too cluttered with useless knick-knacks that are stopping the natural light from getting in.

Interiors and Depersonalising

Property expert Ann Maurice presents a compilation of advice from past episodes, visiting an Edinburgh home suffering from a surfeit of personality, a Victorian residence in Chester that needs restoring to its former glory and a Derbyshire cottage with rather too many stuffed animals for its own good.

Kerb Appeal and Colour

She also offers ideas on suitable colour schemes to use inside the home, demonstrating how neutral tones can create an airy, spacious atmosphere.

Hawkesbury Upton

Interior design guru Ann Maurice creates the illusion of space in a 200-year-old cottage in the Cotswold village of Hawkesbury Upton. She also persuades the owner to move her pet ferrets from the yard to an adjacent barn so they do not deter possible buyers.

Clapham Village

Property expert Ann Maurice suggests improvements for a four-bedroom dormer bungalow in Clapham, West Sussex, to make it more appealing to prospective buyers. The lurid wall colours and pink living room carpet are banished, leaving pine floorboards that help create a sense of the outdoors.

Colchester

Ann Maurice visits Essex to offer advice to a Colchester couple unable to snap up their dream home until they can sell their current house. Unfortunately, after four months on the market, there is still no buyer for the three-bedroom detached property - which comes complete with a wild colour scheme.

Bristol

Property expert Ann Maurice offers advice to would-be sellers in Cotham, Bristol, whose four-bedroom bungalow has been on the market for four months. She suggests revamping the shabby sitting room to enhance its ambience and updating the mismatched kitchen with a lick of paint, tile jewellery and new flooring, before turning her attention to sprucing up the two bathrooms.
