Property development is a hard world to crack and no one knows that better than those who appear on Homes Under The Hammer. The show, where people buy property at auction and do it up definitely has successes but there's also the failures.
One couple from Sussex spent over five years renovating a huge property in Carmarthenshire, after they hoped it would only take two years, and went nearly £100,000 over budget. After viewing the impressive vicarage and house that came with it previously, but deciding it was too big a project to take on, Derek and Penny finally took the leap when the property went to auction in 2017.
