Property series. Joe Crowley shows a couple an empty commercial unit that could be converted into an amazing home with some careful planning and imagination.

In this episode Joe meets an eager couple about to take on their first empty home. He shows them a commercial unit that with some careful planning and imagination could become an amazing house. They discover that taking on such a building could really maximise their budget and give them the freedom to build a unique home. Joe then takes them to meet a family who took on an old barn and converted it, with impressive results.

There is also a look at a community in the north east of England that is campaigning to get streets of empty properties renovated and made into family homes once more. Plus, the programme follows Dave Carter, a north London empty property officer, as he tackles the issues caused by vacant properties.
