Block houses open to view

Fans and house-hunters will get a chance to see first-hand the four houses made famous by the TV3 reality programme, The Block NZ.

Sunday, August 12th 2012

Two open homes will be held on August 25 and Septembet 1, at 74-80 Anzac St, Takapuna, on Auckland's North Shore.

Organisers expect both fans of the show and potential buyers to attend.

Competing couples Libby and Ben, Rachel and Tyson, Ginny and Rhys, and Sarah and Richard will be on site as their houses are inspected, and the producers of The Block NZ, Eyeworks Television, will be filming the open homes which feature in the final episodes of the series.

The four houses are marketed for sale by Bayleys.

They will go to auction on September 6, an event which will be televised live as the series finale

MediaWorks TV Head of Factual Production Sue Woodfield said the makers of The Block NZ were pleased with the way Kiwis embraced the show and the couples.

"This is the viewers" chance to join in the fun that they have been watching on TV, see the houses for themselves and meet the couples," she said.

"We are looking forward to showing as many people as possible through the houses across the two open home days. And with camera crews filming on site, visitors may even end up on TV."
