00:00Why are we in a seaplane, Andrew?
00:19This season, we are soaring to new heights.
00:22Are you taking me for a fancy lunch?
00:24No, Neil, we're feasting our eyes on my real estate empire.
00:30Where the skies are no limit, in the quest for victory.
00:34Our mission, to save desperate homeowners from housing heartbreak.
00:40Get me out of here, please.
00:41It will take daring plays and cunning tactics.
00:47What's that? Could be a little gift for Vanessa.
00:50Right.
00:50As we face some of our toughest houses.
00:53The triple zero of property and renovation have arrived.
00:57We're not just fixing problems, we're fixing lives.
01:04Look at this.
01:06Wow.
01:08It's so beautiful.
01:11These are happy tears.
01:14Wow.
01:15Beautiful.
01:16It really is beautiful.
01:18Amazing.
01:19Let the best team win.
01:21Love it or list it.
01:22It's cleared for takeoff.
01:24Oh, here we go.
01:38Do you know, Andrew, I love topography.
01:42Actually, so do I.
01:43I love a neatly trimmed bush.
01:46That's topiary.
01:47I know.
01:48I'm talking about undulations.
01:50Oh.
01:50Because this is Sydney's Hills District.
01:52It is.
01:52It's all ups and downs.
01:54Oh, talking about ups and downs, how about our homeowners?
01:56I reckon they're heading for the big D.
01:58Divorce?
01:59No, no, no.
02:00Downsize.
02:01Oh.
02:01Kids leaving home.
02:02No more parent-teachers meeting.
02:04No more school runs.
02:05No more picking kids up from sport.
02:07No more chaos.
02:08You're really selling parenthood.
02:10Oh, no, it's a dream.
02:11Trust me, it's a dream.
02:12It's a dream that banker Adrian and sales professional Michelle have lived.
02:18But the Hills are no longer alive with the sound of children.
02:22Morning.
02:22Hi.
02:23How are you?
02:23Can we have two skinny lattes with caramel, please?
02:29Now it's all coffee and cake for the pair, who first met when they were just 15 and 16, going on 17.
02:36Do you know we've got two for sharing, right?
02:39Nah.
02:40I don't share my Portuguese cards.
02:42So we first met in high school.
02:44Adrian came across from Malaysia to study and we met in U10.
02:48I was having a lot of difficulty catching her attention, but eventually I did.
02:53I was pretty well built when I was 16.
02:57That helped.
02:59After catching her eye, their hearts filled with song.
03:04Bordepus played piano for the church.
03:06I didn't really enjoy it, but it gave me an opportunity to spend time with her.
03:13A few years later, they were married and invested in a big seven-bedroom family home.
03:20We bought this property 27 years ago in 1998.
03:23It just seemed like the right house for us.
03:25It was just that feeling that we had, we both had, when we first walked into the house.
03:30And it's here they raised their three kids.
03:34This is the only home they know and it means a lot to us.
03:37These walls hold many happy memories.
03:42The house just works for us.
03:44And that neighbourhood is really important to us as well.
03:47Where's the ball?
03:48But the kids are all grown up and Michelle and Adrian are grandparents now.
03:55She is sugared up.
03:57So after 27 years under the one dilapidated roof, Adrian reckons he has paid his dues.
04:06I spend the summer weekends maintaining this house.
04:12I do the front lawn, I do the back lawn, I do the pool.
04:17None of the kids swim in the pool anymore.
04:19It was fun when they were growing up, but I just feel that, you know, you're not going to go in the pool, neither am I.
04:24He's ready for the next adventure.
04:27I just feel that a seven-bedroom home is not where we are.
04:32We are progressing to the next stage of our lives.
04:36Potentially empty nesters.
04:38We only have Charlotte that's living with us.
04:40She is 23.
04:41Did you see Hugo got his new sweater?
04:44Oh, did he?
04:44Yeah.
04:45And I'm pretty sure that she'll be moving up very soon.
04:48Not too soon.
04:51Michelle would prefer to stay and give Charlotte her own space to enjoy for as long as she likes.
04:57I'm team Lovett because this house works for us.
05:02I think some small improvements can make it better.
05:05Charlotte's room is tiny.
05:07At 23, she doesn't have enough room to put in a double bed even.
05:11She's got room for a desk and a small bed.
05:13Hmm.
05:14They all agree the house has more than a few quirks that need fixing.
05:21Charlotte, honey, how much longer?
05:25Five more minutes?
05:26Five more minutes.
05:28We have pretty much one functioning shower downstairs.
05:32Every morning is a hectic morning when the three of us are trying to get ready for work.
05:36The house may have seven bedrooms, but none of them seem to be the right size, nor in the right place.
05:44Their wardrobe is in a spare room.
05:46You find what you're looking for?
05:48Yep.
05:48This is it.
05:49And the entire first floor is a dysfunctional disaster zone.
05:53So we've got a spot at the top of the stairs.
05:55It's like a landing, and we can't use it for anything, so it's now become our ironing room.
06:01So there's a lot of trips up and down the staircase to get to your laundry upstairs.
06:10It is really annoying.
06:12It's a wonder they get out the door at all.
06:14Rightio, let's go.
06:16And now they face their biggest decision in almost three decades.
06:20Even though we've lived in this house for 27 years, I'm still really happy to come home into this place.
06:26It still feels like home.
06:29We have filled up all of our rooms, so I don't want to move to the next phase in our lives yet.
06:36I'm not ready for that, because it's going to be very different just without having kids at home anymore.
06:41Did you find something?
06:43Yep.
06:44Here you go, babe.
06:44Thanks, honey.
06:45You're welcome.
06:46Yeah.
06:47I'm fun, too.
06:48Yeah, I know you are.
06:50Oh, childhood sweethearts.
06:59I love love.
07:01Of course you do, Neil.
07:02I love the fact that they've owned the property for decades, which means the value will have skyrocketed.
07:08It's all about the money with you, isn't it?
07:10Yes, it is, yeah.
07:16Ah.
07:17Hello.
07:17Hello.
07:18Hello, Adrienne and Michelle and...
07:20And Hugo.
07:21Ah, Hugo.
07:21Hello, Hugo.
07:22Welcome to the hills.
07:23Thank you very much.
07:24Actually, before we talk any further, quick question.
07:26Is this right?
07:27This is a seven-bedroom home.
07:29That's like a boarding house.
07:31It's very rude.
07:32Yeah, I suppose.
07:33It is seven-bedroom?
07:34It is seven-bedroom, and it's run like a boarding house.
07:38Okay.
07:38Look, Michelle, I guess from your perspective, it's not just about the number of rooms, right?
07:42This is home.
07:43This is absolutely our home.
07:45Yeah.
07:46Okay.
07:46Well, should we go and have a look inside this home, then?
07:49Yes.
07:49After you, if we can see it behind those trees.
07:56This double-storey dwelling has a large family room, kitchen, dining, and an added separate
08:01living area at the back.
08:03The three downstairs bedrooms are utilised as twin studies and an overflow pantry.
08:11A lone, fully functional bathroom and laundry complete the downstairs layout.
08:17Upstairs, there's a rumpus-cum-ironing room, an out-of-service bathroom, and a further four-bedrooms,
08:24all with built-ins.
08:30Ah, here we are.
08:33So, shall we split up?
08:34Michelle, we'll go this way?
08:35Yep.
08:36Okay, Adrienne, let's go this way.
08:38After you.
08:39Ready?
08:39We'll go the right way.
08:43Okay, so what have we got in this wing?
08:46We've got...
08:47So we've got two rooms for working from home.
08:50You're in here?
08:50Yep, I am.
08:51And then I can see an incredibly impressive collection of runners.
08:56He likes his shoes.
08:58Wow, that's like an artwork.
09:00And then, is this the only bathroom?
09:03The only bathroom.
09:04Wow, for a seven-bedroomed house.
09:06That's small.
09:07It is.
09:08And then here you've got almost like a walk-in pantry.
09:12That's our storage room.
09:13Okay.
09:14Can we have a look upstairs?
09:15Sure, let's go.
09:18Ah.
09:19So a classic layout then, kitchen, meals, living.
09:23I guess that kitchen's you've done since you've lived here.
09:26Yes, when we first moved in.
09:27So, come on, what do you love or not love about the living areas?
09:31During winter in particular, we only spend our time in the back room.
09:34So you don't use this area at all, really?
09:37No, because it's too dark and it's too cold.
09:38Wow, okay, that's really, okay, fair enough.
09:41Should we have a look that way?
09:42Sure.
09:44Decent-sized garden and a pool.
09:46Yeah, but very high maintenance, unfortunately.
09:49Okay, all right.
09:50So that's, that's one of your things.
09:52You just want to downscale the maintenance.
09:54Okay, all right, I see that.
09:57Okay.
09:59So, oh, you have got another bathroom.
10:01Just a toilet.
10:03I can see a shower cubicle around there.
10:05So it hasn't worked since we've lived in the house.
10:07Oh, really?
10:08Yeah.
10:09For what, 27 years?
10:11Yeah, that's true.
10:13Okay, so we don't talk about the shower.
10:15No.
10:16And then, wow, walk-in closet, Michelle.
10:22Yes, we ran out of room.
10:24Okay.
10:25So this must be the main bedroom.
10:28And this must be Charlotte's room.
10:31So, Michelle, you've got the luxury of space here.
10:34Mm-hmm.
10:34But the layout is pretty dysfunctional.
10:37Mm-hmm.
10:38Ah, there you are.
10:39Here they are, the A-team.
10:41So, four bedrooms up here.
10:44And what's this?
10:46This is our ironing room.
10:47Oh, the ironing.
10:48There's a pattern forming here.
10:50Have you not noticed all the usage of the rooms is weird?
10:53I made a similar comment to Michelle myself.
10:55Mm.
10:56Okay, all right.
10:57Well, on that basis, I think, look, Adrian,
10:59let's just start our property search.
11:01Come on, let's go start our property search.
11:03You can come as well if you'd like me.
11:04Welcome to Andrew.
11:05Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
11:08Michelle and Adrian bought their seven-bed slice of suburbia
11:12almost three decades ago for $330,000.
11:16And their not-quite-empty nest egg has inflated very nicely.
11:21The property is now worth a salacious $1.86 million.
11:25Well, I'm feeling quietly confident already.
11:30Why?
11:31Because I've realised that I've actually got two Team Lovett members.
11:36I've got Michelle and I've got Hugo.
11:38Oh, you had to bring the dog in.
11:40But seriously, I love this house.
11:42And do you know why?
11:44Because it feels like a home.
11:46That's true.
11:47It is.
11:47Time for a fresh start.
11:49Because these two are young.
11:50They've got another, ooh, 50 years to go, yeah.
11:52Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
11:53Unlike us.
11:54So, Michelle, assuming that you're staying here...
11:57Mm-hm.
11:58..what would the budget be for the renovation
12:00and what would your priorities be?
12:02So, the budget we've put aside is $300,000
12:04and the priorities will be en suite upstairs,
12:08having a dressing room upstairs
12:09and expanding Charlotte's bedroom
12:12and giving her a bathroom as well.
12:14Mm.
12:15OK.
12:17For $300,000, we need to refit the first floor
12:21for comfort and convenience.
12:23They need an en suite
12:25and interconnected walk-in row.
12:28Charlotte's bedroom can be expanded
12:29and an additional bathroom will work
12:32to calm the morning routine.
12:35Very focused on one particular area there.
12:37It is very focused on one particular area.
12:39Your priorities are all based upstairs.
12:42Mm-hm.
12:42Yep.
12:43Mm-hm.
12:44And how about if you were to move,
12:47what would the budget be
12:48and what would the wish list be like?
12:49We would be looking at about $2.5 million.
12:52OK.
12:53And probably, you know,
12:54on a low-maintenance side,
12:56more modernised.
12:57And Michelle, from you,
12:58must-haves are...?
12:59Four bedrooms.
13:01Right.
13:01Open plan living.
13:03A double garage.
13:04Yes, because you've only got
13:05the one-car garage here.
13:06Yeah.
13:06So it feels like an upgrade.
13:08Oh, great on the downsizing thing, then.
13:11LAUGHTER
13:12Is this a stitch-up?
13:14Just $2.5 million in suburban Sydney,
13:19and they want four bedrooms,
13:21open plan, low-maintenance,
13:23modern living,
13:23with a two-car garage to boot.
13:27Right, so...
13:28A downsized move that's not downsizing.
13:31Ooh.
13:31You've got to have the feeling for Michelle.
13:33And then you're going to have a huge budget
13:35to decorate a couple of bedrooms
13:37and put a new shower in upstairs.
13:38Yeah, exactly.
13:39That seems fair.
13:40What did I say at the beginning of this conversation?
13:42I said I was feeling quietly confident.
13:44And now...
13:45Yeah, yeah.
13:46Bring it on.
13:46LAUGHTER
13:47Michelle and Adrian have found themselves
13:56at a crossroads.
13:58I can't imagine how we could live
14:00in a small house, to be honest.
14:02Their seven-bedroom house in the hills
14:04has been home forever.
14:06But with the kids flying the coupe,
14:08I would like us to think outside of the box.
14:11Are you really?
14:12Ah!
14:13They're now stuck in limbo,
14:15and soon they'll have a very big time
14:17decision to make.
14:19I think moving would mean
14:21that we're in that next stage of our life
14:22that I'm not ready for yet.
14:25LAUGHTER
14:26Aren't you?
14:27I obviously am.
14:29LAUGHTER
14:30I believe Michelle and Adrian
14:34are right where they need to be.
14:36They just need my help
14:38to make better use
14:39of the incredible space they have.
14:42MUSIC PLAYS
14:43Now, I have to admit,
14:45your house is interesting.
14:46And even though
14:48you've given me
14:49a generous budget,
14:50I can't do the whole house.
14:53But I don't have to.
14:55Because your priorities
14:56have actually narrowed it down
14:58to quite a small part
14:59of the house
15:00upstairs.
15:01Yeah.
15:02Yeah.
15:02So we're going to start
15:03with a new staircase.
15:04Wow.
15:05Let's make a bit of a statement
15:06the minute you come in the front door.
15:08That would be amazing.
15:09All right.
15:09Let's go upstairs then.
15:10All right, Dan.
15:11OK.
15:11To complement the new staircase,
15:13I'll replace the landing floor
15:15with light oak
15:16and create a void above
15:18to help fill both levels
15:20with light.
15:21I want to put a bank of skylights
15:23right above the new staircase
15:25to punch the light
15:27into not only here,
15:28but downstairs as well.
15:30Mm, that's great.
15:31And then up here,
15:32we work on reconfiguring
15:34all of these rooms
15:35so that it starts
15:37to feel like
15:37a luxury suite
15:39for you guys,
15:40but also a luxury suite
15:41for Charlotte.
15:42Oh, wow.
15:43Nice.
15:45Up here,
15:46it's a game of give and take.
15:48Alongside the new stairs,
15:50the ironing area
15:51will become
15:52a dedicated study nook.
15:54The old bathroom
15:55will be reinvented
15:56as an ensuite
15:57for Charlotte
15:58and we'll extend
15:59the adjoining spare room
16:01to fit a double bed
16:02and a wall of wardrobes.
16:04Michelle and Adrian's room
16:06will also be expanded
16:08as we remove
16:09both the second spare
16:11and Charlotte's bedroom
16:12to create
16:13an interconnected,
16:15opulent dressing room
16:16complete with island storage
16:18and a luxurious main en suite.
16:21I think it would be
16:22life-changing for us
16:23to have an en suite
16:24for the first time
16:25in our lives
16:25and also to give Charlotte
16:27the bigger bedroom
16:28so that hopefully
16:29she can stay with us
16:30for a few more years
16:31before she flies.
16:32I don't think
16:33she's going to leave
16:34forever.
16:36I'm hoping
16:37that's a good thing.
16:37That's a good thing.
16:38There you go.
16:40So Adrian,
16:41do you think
16:41this might be enough
16:42to get you over
16:43to Team Lovett?
16:44I know it's early days.
16:47Do you like
16:47a bit of luxury?
16:48Yeah, but my definition
16:50of luxury
16:51is probably a bit
16:52on the fetish side
16:53because I actually
16:54like Japanese toilets.
16:57Do you reckon
16:58you can get a couple
16:58in for us?
17:00Japanese toilets?
17:01Yeah.
17:01That is the ultimate luxury?
17:03Yeah, the automated ones.
17:04Love them.
17:05I know exactly
17:06what you're talking about.
17:07I've been to Japan.
17:08So, Adrian and Michelle,
17:09can I start?
17:11Absolutely.
17:13Yes, go ahead, please.
17:21Ah, that's a relief.
17:23I finally have Michelle
17:24and Adrian in the car
17:25and I must say
17:26I'm feeling a little
17:27flush myself.
17:30This is my favourite time.
17:32Why?
17:32Why is it?
17:33I've got such
17:34inexperienced house hunters
17:36in the car with me.
17:37You've got that right.
17:39So, in the last
17:39virtual three decades,
17:41nothing?
17:42No.
17:43No open homes.
17:43OK, so this is quite a,
17:45this is an unusual day
17:46for you, isn't it?
17:47Yeah, it's a big step.
17:49More like a giant leap.
17:51So, to ease Michelle
17:52into the idea
17:53of a downsize,
17:55I'm keeping her
17:56nice and local.
17:58Bella Vista
17:58is not only right
18:00next door
18:00to Balcombe Hills,
18:01but as the name suggests,
18:03it has some of
18:04the Hills District's
18:04most beautiful views.
18:07With wide streets,
18:08big family homes
18:09and a mix of modern living,
18:11I found something
18:12right out of the box.
18:16So, this is it.
18:18Wow.
18:18Adrian, your first impressions.
18:20It's modern.
18:21Yeah.
18:22It's compact
18:22and it looks low maintenance.
18:24Yes.
18:24So, that's exactly
18:25what I'm looking for.
18:27And your first impressions, Michelle?
18:28Never thought of being
18:29in a house
18:30where they all look the same.
18:32OK.
18:32This is what I'm calling
18:35my brief basher.
18:37On paper,
18:38this has everything you want.
18:41It's just probably not
18:42in the form you thought
18:43it would take.
18:44Am I right?
18:45Yes.
18:46You wait until you get inside.
18:53This trendy townhouse
18:54is sneaky big.
18:56With just one common wall,
18:58there are four large bedrooms,
19:00two bathrooms,
19:01a media room
19:02and a double garage.
19:04The generous kitchen
19:06stroke family space
19:07opens onto a north-facing
19:09low-maintenance garden
19:10and deck.
19:12And,
19:12while there's no pool to clean,
19:14I do have a surprise in store.
19:17Look at this.
19:18How's this?
19:19Oh, wow.
19:19Oh, wow.
19:20Quite impressive.
19:21Yeah.
19:22What do you think?
19:23Bigger than I thought.
19:24Yes.
19:25Michelle?
19:26True.
19:27Yeah, definitely bigger.
19:28Hmm.
19:29Deceptive.
19:29This is all about family,
19:31entertaining,
19:32relaxing.
19:33Yes.
19:34Have a really good look around.
19:35Just be open.
19:36Open.
19:37And then I'm going to meet you
19:38out the front
19:39because there's something else
19:40afterwards we need to talk about.
19:41Thanks, Andrew.
19:42All right, enjoy.
19:44This is a zero-compromise
19:47downsize.
19:48Michelle and Adrian
19:49will soon see
19:49they are actually
19:50gaining usable space,
19:52starting with a double garage.
19:55Ooh.
19:55It's a fair size.
19:57What's the storage?
19:58Fit both the cars?
20:00Yeah.
20:00This home is
20:01perfectly functional.
20:03So, this would be
20:04my office.
20:05Oh.
20:06It's pretty nice.
20:08Yeah, good size.
20:08Colour space, yeah.
20:10It's simply
20:11comfortable,
20:12liveable
20:12and relaxing.
20:13I like the outside area.
20:16Quite nice.
20:18Now,
20:19that's the perfect amount
20:20of mowing for me.
20:22None.
20:23I guess.
20:24All right,
20:24I'm dying to see you upstairs.
20:26All right.
20:27Hey, look,
20:28your new ironing room.
20:30That's true.
20:32Feeding off
20:33the central living space
20:34are four bright bedrooms.
20:36Oh, look at this one.
20:38This could be Charlotte's room.
20:39The main
20:41has an integrated robe
20:42and en suite.
20:43Very nice.
20:44Walk through wardrobe.
20:45Walk through.
20:46Big enough too.
20:48It is big.
20:49And,
20:49finally,
20:50an en suite.
20:51Ah,
20:52I see.
20:53That's not a Japanese bidet.
20:55No,
20:56it's not.
20:56Hmm.
20:57OK.
20:59There's no bidet,
21:01but instead of queuing
21:02for the morning shower,
21:03they can say
21:04good day
21:05to coffee on the balcony.
21:07Oh,
21:07wow.
21:08Nice day.
21:11And for my next trick.
21:14Oh,
21:15wow.
21:16This place keeps on giving,
21:17doesn't it?
21:18It certainly does.
21:19There's more.
21:21The upkeep free
21:22oasis.
21:24This is the additional
21:25entertaining space,
21:27relaxing space.
21:29And who maintains the pool?
21:30Not me.
21:31Not you.
21:33The pool's really nice.
21:34And it's a big house.
21:36It's got everything,
21:36all the room that we need,
21:38unfortunately.
21:40So,
21:41any ideas where the price
21:42sits for this lovely home?
21:43I would say at least
21:46like 2.8.
21:48I'm guessing 2.5.
21:50OK.
21:50Well,
21:50I did tell you
21:52this was your brief,
21:55Basha.
21:55Yes.
21:56So,
21:57it's 2.4.
21:58So,
21:59it's under budget.
22:00Wow.
22:02That's really impressive.
22:04That's surprising.
22:05Sorry,
22:05Michelle.
22:07When we turned up
22:09at the house
22:10initially,
22:11where were you then
22:13on a chance
22:14of this being
22:14somewhere you could consider?
22:1710%.
22:18Where are we now?
22:19Oh,
22:20more than 50%.
22:21Wow.
22:22Well,
22:22you've done well.
22:22I know.
22:23I'm good at this,
22:24you know.
22:30It's right about now
22:32that Andrew's usually
22:33selling himself
22:34to the homeowners.
22:35While,
22:38across the way
22:39in Borkham Hills,
22:40I plan on letting
22:41the house
22:42do the talking.
22:43It's a real
22:44hive of activity.
22:48The four boxy
22:50upstairs bedrooms
22:51have been banished.
22:53A maxi skylight
22:54has just gone in
22:55and the new framework
22:56for both
22:57young Charlotte
22:58and Michelle
22:58and Adrian's
22:59spacious suites
23:00is taking shape.
23:02Wow.
23:04Oh,
23:04wow.
23:05Look at all
23:06the light coming in.
23:07It is quite a
23:08wow moment,
23:09isn't it?
23:09It's amazing.
23:10I didn't expect
23:11it to be like that.
23:1227 years
23:14this house
23:14has been waiting
23:15for this moment.
23:16It has.
23:17It's usually dark.
23:18Yes.
23:18Yeah,
23:19it's very different.
23:20The skylights
23:21have literally
23:21just gone in
23:22and as always
23:24with skylights,
23:25the transformation
23:25is immediate.
23:26Yeah.
23:27Yeah.
23:27That's amazing.
23:28Yeah.
23:28Well,
23:28to take your mind
23:29off the chaos,
23:30I thought we'd walk
23:31over to where
23:32your new walk-in
23:33wardrobe is going to be
23:34because I have got
23:34some beautiful selections
23:36to show you.
23:37It's what I always
23:38call the fun bit.
23:39Yeah.
23:39OK,
23:43let's start
23:44with the tile choice
23:45that I'm proposing.
23:46It's an unusual choice
23:48because I want to go
23:49with these
23:50large format tiles.
23:52Wow.
23:52Big impact.
23:53Lots of wow
23:54when you walk
23:54into the bathrooms
23:55because, of course,
23:56we're talking about
23:57two bathrooms,
23:58your ensuite,
23:59but also
24:00Charlotte's bathroom
24:01with the shower
24:02that is going to work
24:03for the first time
24:04in 27 years.
24:06That's very true.
24:07Fingers crossed,
24:08right?
24:08Yeah, yeah.
24:09This one,
24:10which has got
24:11this sort of gorgeous
24:12marble veining
24:13through it,
24:14is the tile
24:15I suggest
24:16for the floor.
24:17OK.
24:18OK.
24:19In your ensuite,
24:20though,
24:20I'm going to add
24:21an extra wall,
24:22like a feature wall
24:23of this tile
24:23to give some real
24:25wow to it.
24:26That'd be lovely.
24:28Elsewhere,
24:29this will be
24:29the wall tile.
24:30OK.
24:31We will get
24:32some contrast
24:32through a deep timber,
24:36which I'd like
24:36to use for the vanity.
24:38Now, I think
24:39this walnut timber
24:40would be the go.
24:42Yeah, that's lovely.
24:43I think that's
24:43going to pop.
24:44Yeah.
24:49It feels like
24:50it's been a very
24:50long time coming
24:51to see these changes
24:52and just walking in
24:54and seeing the skylight
24:55and the light
24:56coming down the stairs,
24:57like, it's just amazing.
24:59I think Team Lovett's
25:00going to win.
25:01I think we're
25:02going to be staying.
25:03Even though we've
25:03seen a nice house,
25:05I think this takes,
25:06you know,
25:06it surpasses it
25:07absolutely.
25:08Yeah.
25:09I'm not going to lie.
25:10I am excited.
25:12You know?
25:13But I'm pretty sure
25:13the new owners
25:14will be even more
25:15excited than I am.
25:25Now that I've opened
25:26Michelle's eyes
25:27to the benefits
25:28of a move,
25:29I'm going to try
25:30my luck
25:31and introduce her
25:32to a whole new world.
25:35I'm taking it
25:35out of your comfort zone
25:36here into a new area
25:38close to the city,
25:39very upmarket.
25:40Could even be
25:41slightly nearer
25:43to the harbour.
25:44Wow.
25:44That's what I'm
25:45looking for.
25:47Oh.
25:49We're talking about
25:50not only a property
25:51change,
25:52but a whole different
25:54lifestyle.
25:55I'm excited.
25:56Yeah,
25:57I'm worried.
26:00North Bridge
26:00is 25 kilometres
26:02east of
26:03Balcombe Hills
26:04on the leafy
26:05lower north shore.
26:06With access
26:07to Middle Harbour,
26:08it's a sea change
26:10of sorts.
26:11Close proximity
26:11to the city,
26:13it's got a village feel
26:14and still within reach
26:15of their friends
26:16and family.
26:19We are in,
26:20as you can see,
26:21very affluent lower
26:22north shore of
26:23North Bridge.
26:24Nice.
26:24Very gorgeous.
26:25Yes.
26:26Come with me.
26:32This is a luxury
26:33living at its finest.
26:35Architecture designed
26:36to take in the
26:37tranquil surrounds,
26:39this three-bedroom,
26:40two-bathroom,
26:41two-car home
26:42comes complete
26:43with high-end finishes
26:44all within a
26:45house-like scale
26:47and without
26:48the maintenance.
26:52Oh, wow.
26:54Yes?
26:55This is actually
26:56really nice.
26:57It's compact.
26:58OK.
26:59But I really like
27:00the colours,
27:01I like the light
27:02coming in from
27:03everywhere,
27:04it flows nice.
27:05And this is the
27:06thing, we're sort
27:07of saying to you,
27:07look, let your
27:08family have the
27:08big houses,
27:09you have one that
27:10you have plenty
27:11of room to entertain
27:11but it's also
27:12easy lives so
27:13that you can go
27:14off on holiday,
27:15entertain, go
27:16and hang out
27:16at the kids' homes.
27:17Perfect lifestyle,
27:18honey.
27:19By the way,
27:19you say it's compact,
27:20this does have
27:21three bedrooms.
27:22Well, while I accept
27:23that it's quite compact
27:24for our lifestyle
27:26and what we're used
27:27to, I like the fact
27:28that we can lock up
27:29and leave anytime
27:30we want to.
27:31Yes.
27:31Well, why don't you
27:32have a little
27:32exploration, really
27:33have a good look
27:34around and I'll
27:35meet you afterwards.
27:36Excellent.
27:38Custom oak joinery
27:40provides accessible
27:41and luxurious
27:42storage throughout.
27:44Wow, look at
27:45these wardrobes.
27:46Wow.
27:47This is wall-to-wall
27:49stuff, isn't it?
27:50The finish is nice.
27:52Yeah, it feels
27:52really five-star
27:53in here.
27:55It's really lovely.
27:57Wow, it's a nice
27:58en suite.
27:59I like the finish
28:00on this one.
28:01It's a double basin.
28:03But Neil's giving me
28:04an en suite.
28:05And a bath.
28:06Right, right.
28:07I gotcha.
28:12Oh, here you go.
28:13There's a bath.
28:15And look how it's
28:15integrated into the room
28:17with those towels.
28:18Yeah, they look
28:19very nice.
28:21There's a spare
28:22bedroom which is big
28:23enough to be both a
28:24study and guest
28:25accommodation.
28:26And of course,
28:27there is a big double
28:28for Charlotte.
28:30Wow.
28:31I like how these
28:33bedrooms are separated
28:34away from the main
28:35bedroom.
28:36Yeah, it's nice
28:37and private.
28:38The oversized terrace
28:39seamlessly connects the
28:41home to the serene
28:42bush surrounds.
28:45Nice and sunny.
28:46Yeah, beautiful.
28:50That's it.
28:51Tour over.
28:52The fun bit.
28:53I'm dying to hear
28:54what you think.
28:56Well, I'm liking it
28:57more than I see it.
28:58Yeah, more than I
28:59expected, to be honest.
29:00But it's still
29:01small for me.
29:02Okay.
29:03Okay.
29:04I like this place.
29:06It feels right.
29:07I like the flow of
29:08this place.
29:09I do like the location.
29:11This is exactly where
29:12I want us to be in the
29:13next stage of our lives.
29:14How about price?
29:16I think this is
29:18absolutely at the top
29:19of our budget.
29:20I think it would be
29:212.5 plus.
29:22I'm thinking a bit
29:23more.
29:24I'm thinking about
29:252.7 million.
29:27It's a little bit off.
29:28The guide is 2.7
29:29to 2.9.
29:31Wow.
29:32Yeah.
29:32You can tell.
29:35So how has this been
29:36as a voyage of discovery?
29:38I think it's going
29:39in the right direction.
29:40What do you think?
29:42It's made me nervous.
29:42Michelle's heart lies
29:51in the hills
29:52and I'm fairly sure
29:54they will both
29:54want to remain
29:55in their big family home
29:56now that we're moving it
29:58into a fresh phase of life.
30:00We're letting the light in
30:02from the new floor
30:03to the ceiling.
30:06Lux tiles
30:07are setting the mood
30:08in the bathrooms
30:09complemented by glamorous
30:11high-end fittings
30:12and a surprise
30:15Japanese loo or two
30:17that I'll save
30:18for reveal day.
30:19Righty-o.
30:20Off you go.
30:22I reckon we're
30:23staying the course
30:23for a triumphant
30:24Team Lovett result.
30:26Hey, Neil.
30:28Hello.
30:28How are you?
30:29Good.
30:29Oh, my goodness.
30:31There's no ceiling.
30:32Oh, wow.
30:33Where you once
30:36had a hallway
30:37you have now
30:38got an atrium.
30:40That's amazing.
30:42Gobsmacked.
30:44Michelle,
30:45what are you thinking?
30:46I can't believe it.
30:47We had a ceiling.
30:48Yes, we did.
30:48It's gone.
30:50Well, why don't
30:50you both come upstairs
30:51and look at all
30:52the other changes?
30:52Okay, can't wait.
30:54Excellent.
30:58So this is
31:00your main bedroom?
31:02This is huge.
31:03You've got the
31:03main bedroom suite,
31:04your suite
31:05and Charlotte's suite.
31:06Nice.
31:07Now, you may or may not
31:08know that I am
31:09passionate about lighting.
31:11Nothing creates
31:12romance, if you like,
31:14better than lighting.
31:16And these
31:17are the pendant lights
31:19that I would like
31:20to use here
31:21in the main suite.
31:23Wow.
31:25Look at that beauty.
31:28Oh, that's pretty.
31:30It's glass,
31:30but it's got that
31:31lovely iridescent
31:32quality to it
31:33and that bronze colour.
31:35So you're going
31:36to have two of these
31:37and they're going
31:37to be placed
31:38at either side
31:39of the bed,
31:39so above the bedside
31:41tables.
31:42Pretty, huh?
31:43Very.
31:43You happy with that choice?
31:44Yeah, spot on.
31:45Good.
31:45Yeah.
31:46So let me show you
31:47your walk-in robe.
31:48Right.
31:51So this,
31:52Michelle and Adrian,
31:53is your walk-in robe.
31:55Wow.
31:57It's huge.
31:59Cavernous, even.
32:00It's a bedroom.
32:02Well, it was.
32:03That's exactly what it was.
32:05Wow.
32:05Now you have
32:06a walk-in robe
32:07of cathedral-like proportions.
32:10It feels surreal.
32:11I know you have to use
32:12a bit of imagination
32:13at this stage,
32:14but don't forget
32:14we're only a couple
32:16of weeks away
32:17from the grand reveal.
32:18So we're almost
32:19at the finishing line.
32:20And on that note,
32:22I'm going to leave you
32:22both to peruse
32:24your stately,
32:26mansion-like
32:27walk-in robe
32:28and ensuite.
32:32I just can't,
32:33I can't believe
32:34that this is where
32:35we're going to live.
32:36Well, I'm not so sure
32:37about that.
32:38I like what I see,
32:40but this property
32:41is just too big.
32:43I don't know
32:44how we're going to fit
32:45into a smaller place, honey.
32:46I think compromises
32:47have to be made sometimes.
32:49I don't know.
32:51It's going to be too good
32:52when we see
32:52the finished house, honey.
32:53We'll see.
32:54We'll see.
32:54Yeah.
33:02I've surprised myself
33:03by piquing Michelle's
33:05interest in a move,
33:06but there's no shaking
33:08her want for space.
33:10So it's time to go big
33:11and ensure they never
33:13want to go home.
33:15I'm really pushing
33:17boundaries here
33:17in size.
33:19It's going to be
33:20interesting.
33:21Because I know,
33:22really, Adrian,
33:23you want to downsize.
33:25Yes.
33:26And all I hear from
33:27Michelle is room
33:28for the...
33:28Yes.
33:29Family, right?
33:30So I'm sorry, Adrian,
33:32I'm skewing a little bit
33:34towards Michelle this time.
33:37Okay.
33:37That's good to hear.
33:39See, I look after
33:40everyone's needs.
33:41This time I'm playing
33:44it safe with location
33:45and heading back
33:46to their beloved hills.
33:48West Pennant Hills
33:49is Balcombe Hill's
33:50east side neighbour,
33:52a blue ribbon burb
33:53that keeps them close
33:55to family and friends.
33:57The homes here
33:58are super family sized,
34:00but I found one
34:01that's easy care
34:02with all the niceties.
34:05So how's this feeling
34:06because we're outside
34:07of a big family home?
34:08Very nice.
34:09Yeah, yeah.
34:09Very nice.
34:10Okay.
34:11Much more comfortable.
34:12All right,
34:13well, let's head up
34:13those very grand stairs
34:14after you two.
34:19This fully renovated
34:21family home
34:22offers flexibility.
34:24There are five bedrooms,
34:25two bathrooms,
34:27a cleverly designed
34:28split-level family space
34:29perfect for multi-generational living
34:31and a two-car garage.
34:34So while it's lower maintenance,
34:35it's actually bigger
34:37and far more functional.
34:40Wow.
34:42I like the scale.
34:43I like the light coming in,
34:44like the big windows,
34:46the tall ceilings.
34:47Yeah, it's very nice.
34:48And this, obviously,
34:50you know,
34:50it's not listening
34:51to your sort of downscale
34:53part of your brief.
34:56Yeah.
34:56But it is,
34:57does it feel like
34:58it could be a fresh start
34:59or something new?
35:00I like all the aspects of it.
35:01It's very green.
35:03And you're smiling too, Michelle?
35:04Yeah, yeah.
35:05Okay, so you want
35:05to have a look around
35:06your family home upgrade?
35:07Yes.
35:07All right, you head that way,
35:08I'll head this way
35:08and we'll meet up later.
35:09Excellent.
35:11There are two bedrooms downstairs
35:12so Michelle and Adrian
35:14can base themselves here.
35:16This could be an office.
35:18Yeah, it'd be a nice-sized study.
35:21Oh, it's a good size for the men.
35:23It is.
35:26It's a nice en-suite.
35:28Yes, isn't it?
35:29Well, the first floor
35:30is a perfect fit
35:32for 23-year-old Charlotte.
35:34Ah, this is a really clever format
35:36for a bathroom.
35:38With plenty of room
35:39for the rest of the family
35:40to stay as required.
35:42It's a lot of light in here.
35:44Yeah, there is.
35:44I do like it.
35:45Nice big windows.
35:46Yeah.
35:49It's a nice room
35:50overlooking the garden.
35:52It's nice views.
35:54And another big bedroom.
35:57Charlotte's got a lot to choose from.
35:58Absolutely.
36:00The bright, modern family kitchen
36:02opens out to an easy-care alfresco.
36:05This is nice.
36:06It's nice.
36:07I like it.
36:10I am really interested
36:11to see what you think of this one.
36:14It's definitely an upgrade
36:15on our current house.
36:16Yes, absolutely.
36:18Looking around, maintenance-wise,
36:21I'm OK with the maintenance.
36:22The whole thing is
36:23that you thought the fresh start
36:24was going to be a smaller home.
36:26Then I show you
36:27a family home upgrade.
36:28You get all excited
36:29and then Michelle is going,
36:32you could actually imagine
36:33the family being here.
36:36Yeah, because I don't want to scale down.
36:39Looking around,
36:40there's room for everyone.
36:41And how about price?
36:42Because obviously we're in a nice area here.
36:44It's a good home.
36:45I'm thinking about $3 million for this one.
36:47OK.
36:48And Michelle?
36:49I think about $2.8.
36:51And the price guide is
36:53$2.2 to $2.3.
36:55What?
36:57Seriously?
36:58Seriously.
37:00How did that happen?
37:02How good am I?
37:04That's really surprising.
37:05Yeah, why don't you buy it?
37:07Well, let's talk about it.
37:09Oh, I'll take that.
37:10I'm really surprised that Michelle
37:16is so receptive to this house.
37:19I didn't think in the 27 years
37:21that we've been in Volcombe Hills
37:23that she would have such a change of heart.
37:26What are we doing at a bowls club at this early hour?
37:44Look, I thought a little bit of pre-reveal bowls
37:47would be good to get the competitive juices flowing.
37:50You know, best of three, closest to the pin.
37:53I think it's called a jack, actually, Neil.
37:55And this is going to be a breeze
37:57after my alternative property search.
37:59Yeah, after that bowl, I'm not so sure, Andrew.
38:02Wide of the mark.
38:03Yeah, OK, look, I might be better with houses.
38:05That's absolutely true.
38:07But that search revealed something very interesting
38:10with Adrian and Michelle.
38:11Took them full circle.
38:13You ready for this?
38:14I discovered they're less downsize
38:16and more lifestyle upsize.
38:18Well, I've given them a new lifestyle, too.
38:20I've given them a luxurious hotel vibe.
38:23Yeah, seen some of the hotels you've stayed in
38:25when you're watching your budget.
38:27Your property searches are absolutely like your bowling.
38:31You keep coming up short.
38:33Watch and learn, Andrew.
38:38Well, you know me, Neil.
38:40I'm far more extreme sports.
38:42Yeah, right.
38:43Somehow, I don't think so.
38:45Anyway, some of us have got work to do.
38:47Come on, back to the house.
38:48OK.
38:48You know, when I say extreme sports,
38:49I mean, like, walking.
38:51You know, tennis, that kind of thing.
38:53Talking?
38:53Yeah, talking.
38:54Talking.
38:54I can do talking.
38:57Michelle and Adrian have loved this house for 27 years,
39:01and now it's ready to love them back.
39:05By completely remodelling upstairs,
39:08I have created a lavish contemporary sanctuary.
39:11I've given them not just one,
39:14but two fully functional en-suites
39:16and enticingly glamorous bedrooms,
39:19which I'm anticipating they will want to wake up in
39:22for a very long time to come.
39:26Are you excited?
39:27Can't wait.
39:28Hello.
39:29Hey.
39:30Hello.
39:32It is the renovation equivalent of Christmas Day.
39:34Oh, really?
39:35It's finally come.
39:36Yes.
39:37Well, what I can see in front of me here
39:40is a couple of, well,
39:42one thought they were going to be a downsizer,
39:44that really need to be upsizers.
39:47That's true.
39:47There you go.
39:48Is that true?
39:49Yep.
39:49Is that true?
39:50All right.
39:50Well, if it's upsizing that you want,
39:52I think what I've done inside fits the bill.
39:54Oh, interesting.
39:55Yes.
39:56Why don't I take you both inside
39:57and show you what I've done?
39:58What am I going to do?
40:00Go back to the bowls club.
40:01Bit of practice?
40:02Beginner's class.
40:03Come on, guys.
40:14Wow.
40:22Speechless.
40:23It's amazing.
40:26Seriously.
40:27Look at it.
40:27The transformation starts
40:29the minute you come through the front door.
40:31I've replaced the dated, dark flooring
40:34with pale oak timber,
40:36complemented by natural tones
40:38to make the home feel welcoming and bright.
40:41The slate is gone.
40:43It changes everything.
40:46It does.
40:47Can we just talk about the staircase?
40:50Look at that.
40:51If ever there was a statement staircase,
40:55you have it.
40:56Absolutely.
40:57It's extravagant,
40:58but still,
40:59I love the look of it.
41:01Just, you know,
41:01how much light it lets through.
41:03It's not extravagant.
41:04It's phenomenal.
41:06Well said, Michelle.
41:08I like that.
41:08Well, everything happens
41:10at the top of this staircase.
41:11The main event is upstairs.
41:12Come on.
41:13Let's go.
41:13The new feature stairway
41:19not only fills the house with sunshine,
41:21but also draws you up.
41:25Ooh.
41:27Look at this.
41:30You haven't failed to impress, Neil.
41:33This is spectacular.
41:34The ironing board I saw
41:37has been replaced
41:39with a chic work-from-home office space.
41:42It feels beautiful.
41:43It looks beautiful.
41:44Definitely a sense of space.
41:46Yeah.
41:47And light.
41:47Look at the light.
41:49It is.
41:49It's space,
41:50it's light,
41:51and it's height.
41:52Yes.
41:53That's what's giving you
41:54that real grandeur
41:56that you didn't have before.
41:58I think that would be
41:59my home office then.
42:00Yeah, it's beautiful though.
42:02I mean,
42:03you two can fight amongst yourselves
42:04as to whose home office this is.
42:06If you stay, of course.
42:08I haven't forgotten that.
42:10So why don't you go
42:11and take a look at Charlotte's room,
42:12and then I'll see you
42:14in your walk-in robe.
42:15Can't wait.
42:19Look at this.
42:21Oh, wow,
42:21they did a really good job.
42:24Charlotte's going to love this.
42:25This is going to keep her here.
42:26Hey, there are other houses too
42:29that we looked at.
42:30Not like this.
42:3223-year-old Charlotte
42:34is no longer confined
42:35to her childhood room.
42:37I've created an adult space.
42:39Look at the en suite.
42:41Using intuitive joinery,
42:44a wall-hung vanity,
42:45and benchtop basin
42:46with brushed nickel tapware
42:48to create an elegant look
42:50for her to enjoy
42:51for as long as she may choose.
42:53All right,
42:53let's go and find Neil
42:54in our room.
42:55All right.
42:56Oh, wow.
43:04Oh, that's a bedroom, eh?
43:07That is beautiful.
43:09You've done a really good job here, babe.
43:11How big is it?
43:13I know.
43:13It's crazy.
43:14For Michelle and Adrian's
43:17oversized boudoir,
43:18I've provided ambient lighting
43:20and embraced moody tones,
43:22touches of taupe and soft charcoal
43:24to complete their refined deluxe suite.
43:28Oh, my God.
43:28Oh, my God.
43:30Wow.
43:34I think we're calling this
43:36unabashed, unadulterated luxury.
43:40Definitely.
43:41Oh, I'm speechless.
43:42Seriously.
43:43This is amazing.
43:44The lights.
43:46Gorgeous.
43:47Gone are the days of traipsing
43:49across the hall
43:49to a makeshift closet.
43:52Michelle and Adrian
43:53can now dress
43:54in the lap of luxury.
43:56This is so much better
43:57than what I even expected.
43:58Behind me, of course,
43:59I've got the ultimate
44:00ensuite.
44:02And if you look over
44:03my shoulder, Adrian,
44:04you would notice
44:05something sitting there
44:06that I think
44:07is going to really excite you.
44:09You asked
44:10and I delivered
44:11the Japanese toilet.
44:12I actually spotted it, Neil.
44:15Oh, you spotted it already.
44:16Get out of my way.
44:18Yes.
44:21Enjoy it.
44:22And I also have to remind you
44:23that you need to go
44:24and see Andrew.
44:26Just for one last chat,
44:27just tell him
44:28how much you love it.
44:29Tell him how you've decided
44:30to stay.
44:30All that kind of thing.
44:33All right.
44:34See you both in a minute.
44:35Thanks, Neil.
44:37Ah, okay.
44:39There it is.
44:41Yes.
44:42My Japanese toilet.
44:44I think I'm going to need
44:45some quiet time now.
44:47Maybe later.
44:49What do you think?
44:51You did a really,
44:52really good job
44:53with the basics and stuff.
44:54It's beautiful.
44:55I know.
45:00Michelle,
45:01as we sit here,
45:03you know,
45:03in your redecorated
45:04living room
45:05underneath your two
45:06beautiful bedrooms
45:08with those very exotic toilets,
45:10I can read your mind
45:12right now.
45:13And he said,
45:13what a pointless conversation
45:14we're having with Mr Winter
45:15because I'm not moving.
45:18But,
45:19but,
45:20I just want you to think,
45:22whilst Neil has done
45:23a lovely job,
45:25the whole search
45:26that we had,
45:27you've got to admit,
45:29probably went
45:29a direction
45:30you didn't expect yourselves.
45:33Definitely.
45:33Yeah.
45:34Yeah, yeah.
45:34Well, it's quite a journey.
45:35You clearly
45:36do not want to downsize.
45:38You actually want
45:39to really upsize
45:41and get a house
45:42that all the family
45:43can come together with,
45:45soaring ceilings
45:45and better architecture
45:46in this area
45:47where you're really,
45:48really comfortable.
45:49That's what I think
45:50you should do.
45:51Some truth in that.
45:52Absolutely.
45:54So, we need to talk
45:55about price.
45:56Yes.
45:56Before,
45:57the value was coming
45:58in the 1.8s.
46:00Yep.
46:00And obviously,
46:01what Neil's done upstairs
46:02is stunning.
46:03Mm-hmm.
46:04And this living area
46:05and the stairs
46:06and the entry
46:07is a big ad.
46:08But the agents
46:08are now
46:09putting the value
46:10in the 2.2s.
46:14Oh, wow.
46:14Wow, I'm actually surprised
46:16it's that much higher.
46:17Yeah.
46:18So, we've got
46:19a clean slate.
46:20Yes.
46:20Which, in this short term,
46:22in the Sydney market
46:22at the moment,
46:23actually is pretty good.
46:24It's because
46:25what you've done
46:26is a real
46:27asset to the property.
46:30In monetary value,
46:31it's lifted,
46:31but it's also
46:32improved its saleability.
46:33Yes.
46:34Yes, absolutely.
46:35Now, how are we
46:36thinking about that?
46:37Because you're the bank man.
46:38From my perspective,
46:39yes, there's a
46:40lifetime consideration
46:41in there.
46:42But it's also
46:43an opportunity
46:43to move up.
46:45And I think
46:45it's a good time
46:46to take advantage
46:47of that,
46:48you know,
46:48where we are.
46:49I think so, too.
46:50What do you think?
46:50I'm not even going to ask you
46:54what she thinks.
46:55No, you two can have
46:55a very serious conversation
46:57without me.
47:06Well, it's definitely
47:07a conundrum
47:07we've got ourselves
47:08into, isn't it?
47:09It's just beautiful.
47:10It's above
47:11being beautiful.
47:13But what about
47:13all the other properties
47:14that Andrew showed us?
47:15You know,
47:16the Pennant Hills
47:17property in particular,
47:19that's beautiful.
47:20I could see us there.
47:22Oh, you've got
47:22the spec out of here.
47:22I've got all the specs here,
47:24yeah.
47:24It's got a heated seat
47:25with adjustable
47:25temperature control.
47:27Always essential.
47:28Yep.
47:28I'm surprised
47:29by the value.
47:30Then that value
47:31also allows us
47:32a bit more flexibility
47:34to get into
47:34a better property.
47:36It does, it does.
47:38Adjustable nozzle position
47:39for personalised
47:40cleansing comfort.
47:42Okay, yeah.
47:44And listen to this one.
47:45Oh, yeah, yeah.
47:46Tornado flushing system
47:47for those difficult days.
47:50You didn't say
47:50difficult days.
47:51Are you having
47:52a difficult day?
47:53I'm always having
47:53a difficult day.
47:54Yeah, well, I'm out of here.
47:56What about
47:56hits I win
47:57and tells you lose?
47:59I don't think so.
48:09I'm going to start
48:10with great news
48:11for Team Misset.
48:12Oh.
48:12Oh.
48:13You can get
48:14smart toilets
48:15in West Pennant Hills.
48:17There you go.
48:19Is that it?
48:20Yeah, that's it.
48:21Do you think it's
48:21the moment
48:22to ask the question?
48:22I think the moment
48:23is now, yes.
48:24Okay, I think
48:25the moment is now, too.
48:26So,
48:28Adrian and Michelle,
48:29are you going
48:31to love it
48:33or are you going
48:35to start
48:35an exciting new chapter
48:36and list it?
48:38Do you want to do this?
48:39No, you take it.
48:40No, you take it.
48:40Oh.
48:42Well, I've been
48:43instructed
48:43that we will be
48:47loving it.
48:53I'm sorry, Andrew.
48:54I'm sorry.
48:55Seriously,
48:56I was hoping
48:57that you were going to...
48:59Don't gloat.
48:59I really thought
49:01I might have a chance
49:02for you going
49:03for that new adventure.
49:04We'll have the new adventure
49:06here for now.
49:07Ooh.
49:08Neil,
49:09you've done
49:09a magnificent job
49:11on our house.
49:13We've never thought
49:15we'd get to this stage.
49:16It's been a long journey.
49:18But it is the toilet,

49:30but when I saw
49:31the look in her eyes
49:32on how much
49:34she loved
49:35what Neil had done
49:36for us,
