All contestants will secure windfall profits from the Channel 7 series which has its grand final elimination countdown this Sunday with a Monday winner announcement.

While the winner gets their mortgage wiped, all the contestants have benefited in differing amounts to windfall renovation gains. Channel 7 won't say how much was spent.

House Rules Victorian brothers, team Chris and Nick have potentially benefited the most from the renovation reality show if they were to sell their Preston home in the current market.

houserules1Chris and Nick bought the 1930s Californian Bungalow (pictured below) in August last year for $555,000.
