Foxtel announces casting call for new renovation show Selling In The City – but there is a catch
Foxtel recently announced that Selling Houses Australia would be returning for its 14th season with a brand new lineup of presenters.
And on Sunday, the renovation series put out a casting call for members of the public to feature in the upcoming spin-off series, Selling In The City.
According to the show’s official casting page, producers are looking for five apartments, warehouse conversions or townhouses to undergo refurbishment on the show.

‘Is it time for an upgrade? Do you need more space? Or has the latte life lost its appeal?’ the website reads.

‘Apply now so our team of experts can help your current property reach its full potential allowing you to move on up that property ladder.’

However, successful applicants hoping to pocket all proceeds of sale will be disappointed.
As a condition of participating on the program, applicants must pay 3.5% of the independent assessed value of the total property before filming.
In order for sellers to qualify for the show their house must already be on the market and must remain on the market after the makeover until it sells.
It comes just days after the network announced that former House Rules judge Wendy Moore will be replacing presenter Shaynna Blaze on Selling Houses Australia.
Filming conflicts: According to the report, the schedule clashes with her successful interior design business and an upcoming ‘passion’ project. Shaynna confirmed the news on Twitter
Shaynna announced her departure from Selling Houses Australia in March.
The interior design guru is leaving the show, which is one of Foxtel’s biggest hits, due to a schedule clash.
As reported by the Herald Sun, Selling Houses’ filming dates coincided with development of Shaynna’s upcoming ‘passion project’.
