The LifeStyle Channel’s highest rating program for 2011, Selling Houses Australia returns for a highly anticipated fifth series as the team take on some of the nation’s hardest to sell houses during one of the toughest times the Australian property market has ever seen.

The award-winning program delves into the real issues faced by property owners and provides current and practical advice for Australians navigating their way through the real estate market. From a hoarder house and a heritage listed cottage with railway tracks three metres from the house to a DIY disaster and a flood effected home in Queensland, the team has really got their work cut out for them this series.

“Selling Houses Australia is a fantastic Australian production and I’m so proud of its success,” said Nicole Sheffield, General Manager, LifeStyle Channels. “It has delivered some of our best ever ratings and won numerous awards, including Favourite Program and Favourite Male Personality for host Andrew Winter at the 2011 ASTRA Awards. Andrew, Shaynna and Charlie tackled some of the most extreme challenges we have ever put to them in the fourth series and delivered some extreme results. We’re excited about the new series and have no doubt the fifth series will be even bigger and better.”

Residential property expert Andrew Winter is at the helm, with a real estate reality-check that will equip homeowners with the advice they need to help sell their homes quickly and for the best possible price. Facing the Australian property market downturn head on, Andrew meets stressed homeowners whose properties have been stuck on the market for months. Anxious for a sale and unable to work out why no one wants to buy their home, they are desperate for a solution.

Andrew is again joined by interior designer, Shaynna Blaze, and landscape designer, Charlie Albone. Together they take everyday Australians through the process of transforming their homes that no-one wants to buy into saleable properties with spectacular results.

The ten-part one-hour series is being produced by Beyond Productions for The LifeStyle Channel.

Wednesday at 8.30pm (AEDT) from February 1 on The LifeStyle Channel.
