Series offering advice on owning, setting and buying property. Quentin Willson visits some brownfield sites earmarked for development, and is impressed by a converted department store in central Manchester, part of a boom in inner-city projects.

Anna Ryder-Richardson joins location-finder Ralph Cameron on his search for three suitable venues for the filming of a major drama that is to be screened next year - the house with the right features could net its owners £2,000 a day, in his regular spot. Estate agent Paul Higgins offers some realistic advice on renovating run-down properties, which can consume vast quantities of cash and time.
