Better Homes is a lifestyle game show that was broadcast on ITV from 4 January 1999 to 1 July 2003 and was presented by Carol Vorderman.

Format

Two houses get done up for television and the one that puts on the most value after the renovation wins the owners an additional £5,000 (or, in the latest series, a family holiday). So that's a done up house, a more expensive house and £5,000.
