Sophie Allsopp – of the Ten Best and Worst Places to Live in the UK fame – will be presenting a new show offering advice to would-be sellers.

Picking some of the most ''unsightly'' and unsaleable properties in the country comma Sophie offers critical advice to people trying to leave their old home behind, in the Unsellables.

The popular Canadian TV show has made its way across the pond as Sophie deals with homes that refuse to leave estate agents property listings.

Dated decor and filthy interiors are tackled head-on as homeowners are persuaded to drop their "questionable personal taste" in favour of a uniform, neutral and sellable style.

The Unsellables is a long standing Canadian property show and the UK version will be available on Real Estate TV on Sky and on demand at Virgin TV.

So anyone struggling to sell their property may want to tune in, especially in the current economic climate where buyers are more patient because of financial constraints.
