The series is produced by the team who created the Seven reality show My Kitchen Rules and is hosted by Johanna Griggs.
This season of House Rules places six new teams renovating each other's homes and further challenges for the ultimate prize of a full mortgage payment.
New advantages such as being able to allocate zones for the other teams or receiving additional hints from the owners through an online chat or video, were awarded to the top scorers of the week.
Two teams are allocated to a home (that do not belong to them) and must renovate either the front or back yards, as well as improving the house exterior.
