Channel 4 has commissioned Little Gem and Knockers TV to make new series, I Bought it at Auction with Sarah Beeny.
I Bought it at Auction with Sarah Beeny explores the drama, risk, and reward of buying property at auction. From bargain terraces to sprawling mansions—and even the occasional castle—each episode follows gripping real-life stories of buyers seeking a bargain and gambling their life savings in pursuit of their dream home. But with many properties in dire need of renovation, the journey is rarely straightforward. Behind every wall and beneath every floorboard could lie a costly surprise.
Each episode follows those that have taken the leap, and will follow their experience in the months following the purchase.
Sarah Beeny said, “Buying property at auction is risky and not for the faint-hearted but for those who dare, it can be an exciting, albeit nerve-wracking, way to get on or move up the property ladder. I’ve always believed there is possibility in almost any piece of land or building, and those sold in auction are sometimes packed with potential – if you know what to, and what not to look for. I’m thrilled to bring viewers along for the ride and shine a light on this high risk but sometimes high gain part of the market.”
Clemency Green, Senior Commissioning Editor at Channel 4 said, “Whether you’re a seasoned investor or a first-time buyer dreaming big, I Bought It At Auction With Sarah Beeny is the ultimate guide to the risks—and rewards—of buying property at auction. Sarah knows firsthand how to navigate the property market and what it really takes to make bold moves pay off.”
Ben Gale, Managing Director and Executive Producer, Little Gem said, “We’re excited to team up with Sarah on this dynamic new show which will pull back the curtain on the auction world and show off some cracking properties along the way.”
