Our First Home

Part observational documentary and part soap opera, 'Our First Home' puts a fun and feel-good spin on the world's obsession with DIY and the property market. The format follows parents doing what they've always done for their kids: helping members of the next generation take their first step on the property ladder. Competing as three teams of families, parents use their own money to buy a home with their adult children and then spend weeks renovating it with the show's cash. The team that adds the most value to its property at auction gets $100,000 to help fund the younger people's deposit on their own house. (source: WBITVP)
