In this week's episode Sarah meets 28-year-old merchant banker Tallat Mukhtar, who has bought an empty concrete shell in trendy Shoreditch, East London, which he intends to completely fit out and turn into an up-market designer two-bedroom apartment. Bought for £220,000, and with a budget of £50,000, Tallat eventually plans to sell the property on and make a whopping £100,000 profit. However, despite Sarah's advice, he takes on the roles of project manager, builder and architect, even though he has no previous experience. Tallat is convinced he can carry out the work as well as the professionals, but with a demanding full time job to hold down and just three months to complete the ambitious project, has he bitten off more than he can chew?
