Episode 20 of 20

Series revealing the potential of vacant properties. Joe meets offshore mechanical technician Luke Richardson and his care assistant girlfriend Sophie Swale.

Joe Crowley meets offshore mechanical technician Luke Richardson and his care assistant girlfriend Sophie Swale who are looking to buy their first property in East Yorkshire.

While they have tons of enthusiasm, they have limited DIY experience, and have no idea how to budget for a renovation. Joe takes them to see an empty chapel that comes complete with planning permission and introduces them to an architect who transformed a redundant chapel that had been empty for 15 years into an open plan, spacious home.

Plus, a look at how one of Sheffield's iconic landmarks, which was falling into decline, is now undergoing an impressive 100 million pound renovation, and one of the UK's Empty Property Officers is on a crusade to rescue unloved and abandoned homes.
