Love It or List It Australia is back with its second season and the tenth episode is called Newport, NSW. This show features couples who are at a crossroad, whether they should renovate their existing home or sell it and buy a new one. The hosts of this show, Andrew Winter and Neale Whitaker, are here to help the couples make a decision.
In this episode, we meet the charming couple Bridget and Zak who are facing the dilemma of whether to stay in their beloved, but outdated, Newport home, or to purchase a new one. Bridget and Zak are a lovely couple with two children, and three pets. The house that they have been living in for over six years has sentimental value to them. However, they have realized that their house has become too small for their growing family. As their family has grown, their house has started to feel more cramped with limited storage space, not enough bedrooms, and an outdated kitchen. Bridget and Zak are looking for a change that will help them continue their life together as a family.
Andrew and Neale first meet the couple to discuss their options. Andrew, a real estate expert, takes them house hunting to explore what is available in the market. Meanwhile, Neale, an interior design expert, stays behind in the Newport home to see if it can be renovated to fit their needs. It's a battle between the two hosts as both make their cases for either renovating or selling the property.
Neale is amazed by the outdoor space that the Newport house provides. However, he feels that the house needs a new floor plan, a more contemporary kitchen, and an extra bathroom. He also suggests using the outdoor space to create a separate studio for Bridget to work and a rumpus room for the kids. Neale seems to have a lot of great ideas for a renovation. He even provides a 3D visualization of how the house would look after the renovation.
Meanwhile, Andrew takes Bridget and Zak to see a few houses which cater to their needs. Andrew shows them houses that have more space, storage, and bigger yards. But Bridget and Zak can't seem to let go of their emotional attachment to their house in Newport.
In the end, it is up to Bridget and Zak to make the final decision. They weigh the pros and cons of renovating versus buying a new home. They also consider the financial implications and the desire to continue living in their ideal location.
