Reporter Mark Jordan buys a house to do it up, sell it on and make a profit. But the recession hits and property prices go into free-fall. This immersive documentary shows the emotional roller coaster that Mark experiences as he tries to do the work himself to save money. During the five-month process, he meets the academic who believes property programmes have fuelled the property bubble and an exclusive survey of the UK's smartest economists predicts that house prices will bottom out on 2009 before rising slowly.
