FOXTEL today announced the highly anticipated fifth season of FOXTEL Original Love It or List It Australia hosted by real estate expert Andrew Winter and design guru Neale Whitaker will premiere on Wednesday 27 September 2023 on FOXTEL. Winter, renowned for his extensive experience in the real estate industry brings his candid advice and valuable market insights, along with Whitaker, one of Australias foremost style gurus with an impeccable eye for detail and flair, will help property owners across Australia who are faced with one of lifes challenging decisions, to renovate or relocate. This much-loved property series with its signature blend of real estate reality and design inspiration promises to bring another season filled with surprising twists and stunning transformations as homeowners negotiate their housing dilemmas. Its one of the biggest decisions of their lives, with stakes made even higher this season as families face tough economic conditions, with soaring prices and biting interest rates. Andrew Winter said: We are finally back for season 5 and what a dynamic six months we have had. To be honest at the start of the season we were concerned about the market and if homeowners would see capital growth over the short term – thats tricky in the best markets. It was not the easiest scenarios for either of us with concerns for the homeowners over capitalising and a market with literally nothing for sale. Are results predictable? Absolutely not. Ive loved working on this season, what is not to like? It is just a fun format, and it is all real, real-life dilemmas, real homes, and real renovations. Neale Whitaker said: Its exciting to finally be back with a new season of Love It Or List It Australia. I may be biased, but I genuinely believe season 5 is our best yet. The worlds changed quite a bit since out last season and Andrew and I both knew we were in for a rollercoaster of tight renovation budgets, demanding deadlines and challenging property searches. Throwing unpredictable human emotions into the mix made it a white-knuckle ride. For me the result is ten very different renovations that give the homeowners bang for their buck and life-changing potential. Love It Or List It Australia is produced by Beyond Productions, a Banijay Company exclusively for FOXTEL. Format created by Big Coat Productions and represented by Banijay Rights.
