House Rules contestants, Ryan and Marlee's mortgage is $229,000 - paying off what the Adelaide couple dub the ugliest house in South Australia.

Ryan Rebbeck purchased the house four years ago alone, and works two jobs, garbage collector and paver.

Marlee Murphy, who works as a travel agent, entered the duo on the show now in its third series.

They have big shoes to fill as the first House Rules winners South Australian team Carly and Leighton took out the top prize of the high rating renovation show, with their $450,000 mortgage wiped clean.

Michelle and Steve from New South Wales were announced runners up in that series. They had wanted their $629,000 mortgage – the biggest mortgage on the show - wiped, but they don’t walk away empty handed with their newly renovated home to be potentially worth $180,000 to $225,000 more.

A $500,000 purchase in Melbourne's Reservoir was behind the 2015 House Rules series contestant couple, Bronik and Corrine's property in Melbourne's northern suburbs. Bronik and Corrine have a $448,000 mortgage which would be wiped if the couple win the 2015 Johanna Grigg's hosted renovation competition.
