Format
Revival series
For the first series, host Tris Payne followed first-time buyers as they decided among three properties to purchase from.
From the second series on, the show's format was retooled into a game show presented by Alice Beer. From then on the premise followed first-time buyers trying to win their first step on the property ladder. Each episode would feature a young couple desperately in need of a home of their own. The contestants view three properties, pick their favorite and then guess the price. If they guess within the allotted amount, they win the house of their dreams.
Programmes were filmed in the UK, along with specials giving British couples a chance to win their dream home in Spain.
