Kristian Digby of To Buy or Not to Buy
This BBC show follows television's so-called experts as they attempt to put their advice into practice.

Presented by the crème of the UK's property professionals the show tackles issues as far ranging as buying property at auction, the purchase of a new home in Europe and the nuances of buying a family home here in the UK.

In one episode Kristian Digby, presenter of the BBC's To Buy or Not to Buy, finds himself in the spotlight as he attempts to make a quick profit buying a property at auction.

Although an experienced player in the property market, not all runs smoothly for Kristian. Will he pay heed to his own advice?

Another show examines the stresses and strains of buying foreign property. Homes Under the Hammer presenter Martin Roberts lets the cameras follow him as he travels to Italy in search of his dream holiday home.

Is he going to let his heart rule his head and invest in a ruined farm house?

Presenter Lucy Alexander, also of Homes under the Hammer, puts her reputation on the line as she tries to find a new house for herself and her family.

After several disappointments, Lucy ends up taking a huge gamble on an arts and crafts house that potentially could lose her a lot of money. Will she heed the advice that she doles out to others?
