Format

Revival series

For the first series, the host, Tris Payne, followed first-time buyers as they decided from among three properties which to purchase.

From the second and subsequent series, the format was turned into a game show presented by Alice Beer. The show followed first-time buyers trying to win their first step on the property ladder. Each episode had 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.
