Pimp Your Property – $10,000 Home Painting Giveaway – New South Wales (Now closed)
March 1, 2011 118 Comments
First National Real Estate has launched a competition throughout New South Wales where homeowners can win a re-paint of their house worth up to $10,000.
‘Australians just love home ownership and there’s a huge amount of interest in making improvements in order to maximise capital growth. But the last thing people want to do in their spare time is paint their house’ the network’s National Communications Manager, Stewart Bunn said.
One of the most important things you can do to preserve or improve the presentation of your property is keep it freshly painted. The winner of the ‘Pimp Your Property – $10,000 Home Painting Giveaway’ will have their home re-painted using quality Dulux paints to the value of $10,000 – enough to complete an average sized Australian house.
‘In a sense, we all prosper by riding on the back of our property renovations so we took a tongue in cheek view in the naming of this competition’ said Mr Bunn.
‘Australia once rode on the sheep’s back but these days, for most Australians, we build wealth and improve our lifestyles by renovating our properties.
‘I’m sure that whoever wins this competition will improve the value of their home by more than the $10,000 investment First National will be making on their behalf’.
To enter the competition, participants need to visit www.pimpyourproperty.com.au and follow the prompts.
The ‘Pimp Your Property – $10,000 Home Painting Giveaway’ competition is simple to enter and runs between 1 March and 31 May, 2011.

Our house has not been repainted in the last 15 years, as my husband had a work related injury and finances have been extremely low. To win something like this would be magnificent. We love our home and it represents our lives our kids and now the grandchild believes it’s also her favourite home. Thankyou for giving us a chance.
it would be amazing to win this prize and be able to restor our home to its beautiful heritage glamour
I need a an expert! I am a country cottage in desperate need of a facelift and a colour makeover. I have been in the sun , rain and wind too long without protection and it shows! Peeled, blistered and looking downright dowdy I need to be exfoliated, primed and painted. The woodwork around my window eyes is deeply lined and in need of deep, nourishing treatments of gentle steaming, sanding and repair with the finest products on the market. My yawning awning eyelids are sagging and an uplift is the only solution. In spite of my sorry state, I have a good bone structure and dressed in an exquisite Dulux colour covering my skin, my transformation from dowdy to dazzling will be complete.
Well my granny has been living in the same house in wollongong for over 40 years now. Its heritage listed and old and needs a little TLC…which I myself tried to paint it about 3 years ago and it didn’t work out lol… ” I’m no painter”.. And now i fill so guilty seeing the house like that when i other people and family come over.. So I would love to see my nans Home restored and beautiful once again … Thankyou for the chance to make my nans home home sweet home once more.
Hey Tony, well at least you had a go. Good on you. You’d have at least preserved the timbers. Good luck to you and your Grandma.
Helen, one of the most eloquent posts so far, and, one of our earliest entries. Good luck!
i would love to be able to have my home that is on a hill in the country and is over a 100 years old and has been home to me and my two girls for 20 of those years with a very new look with a beautiful new paint job for her old weather boards
Fingers crossed.
Our house is in need of painting as my husband recently snapped he’s right achilies and has just had an operation and will not be able to any thing for at least 6 weeks and maybe up to 6 mths.We have had to cancel an overseas holiday due to the injury and kids are very disappointed.
This my be something what can cheer up the family and rejuvinate the house.
Michelle, that’s too bad. What a rough run you’ve had. Hope you had travel insurance. Look on the bright side… the Australian dollar just keeps rising. Your holiday will be cheaper when you eventually take it
I live in an old wooden church and would love to have it painted to bring out it’s character. I am an artist and live by myself and would apreciate the help.
A few churches in the running now Dorothy. Tough call for the almighty spirit to make!
Our beautiful old house is desperate for a face lift ! Please help our dream come true by enhancing our home with such a great product !

Hi Helen,
Thanks for your comments. They were immediately approved as they are the most creative I’ve seen yet. I’ve no idea why they didn’t appear but I’ve approved once again. Good luck with your entry. It sounds like your home is certainly deserving of a facelift.

just wanted to share my little ditty for the pimpyourpropertypromo
to the music of “our house” by madness
our house,is so rundown in our street,
our house,should look so smart and so sleek
our house,has no paint and looks so sad,
our house, just needs to be” duluxed ‘so bad
I would love to be embraced with such a gift as winning this makeover, I am a single working mum raising two young boys and bought a little run down house from the sale of the family home, The paint is peeling and the house is a run down ex rental which I have made some improvements for on the inside but the outside is very old, tired and neglected…I am on my own and don’t have the time or the money to pay someone who knows how to work with such a mess. All my money goes towards bills and raising my sons so there will never be any money left over to save to enhance the look of the outside of the house.
This is our foundation, our stablitly and my joy of giving the boys the best I can, so I would like to just make it look more like a nice family home for them if I can.
Lovely sentiments Lisa. Home is where the heart is! While the feeling is more important than the appearance, we hope your dream comes true.
Our old house is my first real home. We bought the old house 7 years ago. Our health and plans were going great. Then unexpectedly I was struck with a chronic degenerative disorder, then in late 2009 my husband Robert nearly lost his life in a car accident. Now we are looking at our dream deteriorate. Have not enough to get someone to do the painting, and can’t do it ourselves. A miracle is what we need. Thank you.
With regards
Maree
I REALLY REALLY need a paint job in my house as the house has not been painted in 20 years. The whole house is painted this yucky light grey (walls, doors and skirtings – boring). I have three sons and one wants his walls light green, the same as the paint on pimp your property. Everthing is tired tired tired (much like my husband and me). Unfortunately no time for painting but would love your giveaway. Any chance of a makeover for us as well?
Hi, my partner and I are the proud owners of our first home. While we fell in love with it immediatley, the original white and mission- brown colour scheme leaves a lot to be desired!!! Please help. We both work full time and are busy raising our 3 year old. This leaves little time for the big jobs. Our house is an original forestry cottage with amazing 12 foot ceilings. A bit of love on the outside would bring it back to its full glory.
i do not want to win this for myself, i am entering for my grandmother. We have had half of the outside of our house painted for over 5 years and havn’t had the money to put towards it, there is also the inside of the house that needs a new paint job as the colors are dull and look warn out. she is a amazing person and deserves this prize!
WE would dearly love to win a paint makeover for our house it has been ten years since it was painted and is looking quite shabby,we agree there is nothing like a paint job to freshen your house and make it look sparkling and pleasant to walk thru, my husband has been out of work since August 2010 and as you can imagine money is very sparse to use for anything like that after numerous job applications he is still applying for work anywhere so to win this would be a wonderful lift for us.
regards
Sandra
I need some help, I feel so sad,
My paint is peeling, I look real bad.
My owners are clueless, I’m drab as can be,
Won’t somebody help me, Oh hear my plea!
Yes it’s true I’m old, neglected and shabby
They have tried their best, to keep me happy
But without some help, I always will be
The sad little house, with a bland belly!
Raiders of the Lost Arc… the house resurrected from the ruins! Against all odds, it wasn’t meant to be!
‘The house lives on’ is the tune of the Dulux paint as it envelopes the time machine that inspires life!
I have a challenge, which I am hoping Dulux can handle?
I live in the Southern Highlands of NSW, I was lovingly designed and built by my family sixteen years ago. They have looked after me and cleaned the mould and dirt off every year, but we have three types of weather in one day, frosty mornings, rain and sunshine which has cause my paint to crack blister and peel from my weatherboard walls.
My decking has dried out and is cracking, it needs sanding and nourishing with oil. The pinewood paneling around the pool needs more varnish to protect my wood.
My bathrooms never see the sunshine on the southern side of the house and mould is growing on my walls.
Are you up to the challenge?
I am the worst house in the best street and i definatley look my age which is well and truly over 100 i need lots of heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp to make me look beautiful once again!
I am a single home owner and really need my weatherboard house freshly painted. It would truely rock my world if I won this. Fingers crossed.
hi, im a young home owner who thought i could do the painting my self.. well i was wrong i have red paint on my ceilings in the dining room from lack of edging paint is starting to peel in the lounge room already.. my kitchen only has the pre coat on ( i doubt it will get finished ) and all the ceiling are still yellow from the previous owners not a good look! i have now moved for work and put my house on the market it would be a great help to have the place painted so i might have a chance of sale.
My home has not been painted inside for 12 years and outside for 16 years. Last year I spent 4 and a half months in hospital and am still recovering and it would be lovely to have a newly painted house to live in. Also recently one of my children has been diagnosed with a terminal disease and I really need something to cheer me up.
The house is clad with vyynil weatherboard profile cladding; BUT…….. The eaves and fascia boards really DO NEED painting. Can you help
I would really love to win this Dulux paint job for my son . He has had a couple of bad years with illness and his vehicle breaking down . He works very hard all week and spends saturday with his childrens sport so has only one day for painting . His bad back will notallow him on a ladder to paint.
PLEASE HELP HIM restore his house to its finer glory without smoke stains on the ceiling and horrible colour walls.
Hopefully you can paint his house and restore his fun part of life.
my house has stood 100 years and needs a good paint badly i spend my time traveling the1,300 klm round trip to sdney and back for my cancer treatment
thanks
I have a home that is willing to put its self out there , i am up for what ever my pimp would love to do to me . i am willing to try any new ideas and the colour is open to the imagination .its a brick home that would love a new lease on life and love ………..please think of some great ideas and i am there thanks
Our house was built in the 1960′s , My partner and I moved in 2 days before xmas and would love the opportunity to give it the spark that it needs.
We would love our house to be painted, the inside really needs a paint and i know it would make all the difference. Thank you for giving us the chance!
OMG finally we purchased our (my) dream cottage in Bermigui so the children and growing numbers of grandchildren, including ourselves, can get away from the hussel of city lives, sit back and relax in this quaint beachside town. We fell in love with Bermi (as the locals name it) within 2 days as it has an old world, back in time feel and then fell in love with what i would say was my long time dream of owning a old 80+ year old cottage. This is were Dulux and First National Real Estate could help with a make over to reclaim some old world charm of a beachside cottage that needs what i would call a colour makeover, moisturiser – prep. foundation – primer, eyeshadow – colour, mascara – feature and lip gloss – enamel to bring a tied face – cottage alive.
how great it would be to uplift the walls in and around my house.I have owned my house for about 10 years now and have a disability to my left arm wich makes it hard to find work to fix my house…property is not at its best at the moment,but i no with a little paint ,those things can change very quickly…it would just make me feel good to walk into a house that i was excited about again,and i no my 2 boys would love a kids themed painting in there room.
Pimp my house help .. I have a 30 yo home with cathederal ceilings and I cannot reach to paint anything. Nor will I ever be able to after an assault in the workplace I now have a permanant injury… and struggle with the housework alone. I would truly appreciate this gift.
This is not for me but my mum, i would love to do something really special for her and i think she would appreciate it dearly. Our house is OLD my dad bought it over 29 years and him and my mum have lived here for just over 26 , i would love to renovate the entire house (if only money wasnt a problem) but a coat of paint will do wonders. Good luck to all
Its only a two bedroom house. It was built for a war widow and most features are still original. This is our first home bought with my long service payout! Being both nurses we are just too busy to be able to get our little place up to scratch! Love to see it in its former glory!
Our house is at least 115 years old, my family and house originated from Joseph Holmes of ‘Holmesville’, (my Great -Great Grandfather). It and my mothers’ house three doors up have been passed down our family line and hopefully will continue to stay in the family in the future.
We did start to renovate and paint both ours and Mums’ house but, unfortunately, due to servere health reasons, my husband was unable to continue. Now permanently, living on the disability and carers pensions, with not much revenue, repairs have drastically slowed down and the property is suffering. Years have passed by, and the poor house is in dire need of serious painting attention, especially outside. With a quality makeover of DULUX to protect and bring it back to it’s former glory again, would end a lot of stress and be a wish come true.
Hi,
I’m 23, i bought my first house at 21 years of age, as you can imagine, it’s a first home owners home, renovators delight…..except I’m no expert renovator. I’m currently at uni, and would LOVE my house to get pimped!! Pretty please!
After 3 kids our 40 yr old house is in sever need of a paint job.. my husbands idea of painting is just pain the walls to get rid of the stains… So ceilings have not ever been done! doors not done! skirting boards not done! toilet and bathroom not done.. This is a half A** job.. Hence I need it done properly;((((
My mother has had her house since I was born… She is a single mother and always has been, I don’t want to give you the whole sob story, so winning this for my mum would be one great mothers day present.. She never wins anything nor do I so I suppose there’s no harm in trying after seeing your advert and GO!!!!!
Pimp an old lady’s house and make her house a home…
My roof is sad and needs a face life the rust looks tied, please help her look happy again
Nothing worse than tired rust. Actually, nothing worse than fresh rust too. Not sure Dulux would want to be painting over a rusty roof but they probably have some solutions for your walls. Good luck and thanks for entering.
hi first national, i bought my first house with my carpenter boyfriend two and a half years ago. We have been renovating the house our selves non stop on week ends and nights after work. We are almost at the finish and the biggest job left is painting. A beautiful paint job would just consolidate all our hard work.
thanks for the chance and hope you choose me so i can surprise the boyfriend and give him a break cause he works really hard.
Your welcome. Sounds like you’ve been working very hard. Renovating certainly has its ups and downs but in the end, it has its rewards. Maybe we can surprise your boyfriend…
Ok,just like everyone eles my house is looking very sad.Would love a make over,so please pick us.
CHEERS.
Fiona
Hope we can cheer your house up Fiona.
I’m 24 years old. I purchased a home just over a year ago to have something stable for my Mum and younger sister. I’ve in the process of renovating and have just completed making a one bedroom home into a three bedroom home. With full time work and renovating, the painting gets left due to lack of fnances and time. This would be a fantastic opportunity and would be very thankful.
Congratulations Andy, good on you for stretching yourself to get on the property ladder. Hope the First Home Buyers grant helped you out. Keep making those mortgage repayments and First National will see if it can give you, your Mum and younger sister a leg-up with the exterior. Hang in there…
After staying in the house for more than 3 years, I though that my house should have a good look and I would like to paint my house (my self without assigning to any painter) so that I can paint my house to my taste, for which DULUX is the right company paint to have a good look for my house.
Everyone loves a new look. Homes are no different. Good luck Radha.
We have been in our house for 9 years, we have had three kids over this time and as a result our cream paint in our house is looking less than cream. Our youngest has drawn on the walls. We have been unfortunate enough to encounter some water leaks which have been fixed but the paint is damaged. The original paint appears to be cheap and does not have the ability of ‘wash and wear’ which we love the idea of, so we would love to have it repainted in a quality DULUX paint.
We’ve experienced the ‘wash and wear off’ type of paints out there. It’s a few years later that your truly find out the value of your earlier paint choice. Pop down to your local First National Real Estate member and we’ll give you a free colouring book to distract your youngest. That’s whether you win or not. Thanks for entering and good luck.
myself and my childern moved into my parents home after my mum pasted away we have done things to the house that needed doing but it could really do witha make over it would britin ourw house and ourw lives if you could come pimp our property
Lets hope we can Pimp YOUR property. Thanks for entering.
my house adds a whole new meaning to shabby-chic . unfortunately it is more like shabby-crappy . I have lived here for 26 years and never touched the outside , my husbands idea of home improvement is a quick wipe of every couple of years . I NEED THIS
‘Shabby crappy’, it sounds like some sugar soap, a high pressure water blaster, and a nice new coat of Dulux would transform your world. Perhaps Dulux could give your husband a coat at the same time?
where to start my home is 100 yrs old it has glading on it so ithink it hasn’t had a paint for about 30 yrs it has the old weather boards still on it our house is the only one it the street that has not had a new paint job so dosn’t look good at all we have just about finish the inside of the house and a now we need the out side to do but like everyone esle you have to have money
Sounds like time to rip down that cladding. There could be some beautiful timber boards underneath, as well as some nasties, but we’re sure Dulux could do the trick. Good luck!
I live with my mum and dad and two little sisters, our house is nice but does need a good paint! mum and dad work so much that it never gets done and would cost abit to get done too i suppose!. so it would be great to be able to surprise them with this!
Groovy Lucy, we like your thinking. With Mum and Dad working so hard for you to have a nice home, sometimes the colour on the outside’s not their first priority. We’d sure love you to be able to surprise them with a nice new paint job though. Good luck and keep grooving!
We bought the worst house in the street
From the carpet in the kitchen
to the lami panel walls and mismatched doors
We done the work and fixed the house up
Something is missing what could it be Dulux paint job
help us out
10,000 thats great thanks Dulux and 1st National
THAT WOULD MAKE OUR HOUSE A HOME……………
Well, Craig and Leonie, you observed rule number one in real estate – Always buy the worst house in the best street! Congratulations and thanks for entering.
we love colour as is brightens our day and makes you smile ever one needs a change now and than
A change is as good as a holiday… maybe that’s an idea for our next competition?
My wife has told me to paint the house , but there are too many other things that need doing…but at least now we have a toilet door! we have been renovating our old 1940′s house now for nearly five years and we have done some painting initially but with two kids that needs repainting now too.I just asked my six year old why we should get our house painted, and she said cause ‘it looks old and messy and we need it to look pretty’. We love the DULUX colour range and already have many colour charts at home.
Glad to hear about the toilet door!! Sounds like your six year old has a future in real estate. We’re always looking for good people but it might be a tad early to have a chat…
Me and my wife bought this house in country to take kids away from living in town with all the car hoons and graffitti and young kids that swear ,do drugs no respect for nothing . We have four children ranging from twelve months too eight years as my wife and I have to travel an hour each way to work come weekends its family time so we dont get much renovating done outside is weatherboard and never painted it since we have been here which is five years it is a crappy yellow cream with mould on it in places I have gernied it a couple of times but keeps coming back it is in urgent need of some SUPERB DULUX PRODUCTS. We used these awesome products on the inside made my wife and feel like professionals. When I get time I will always use DULUX PAINTS for anything THE BEST YOU CAN GET!!!!!!
Daniel, you’re not wrong there. Dulux certainly lasts better than some other paints! Hope we can help you get rid of the ‘crappy yellow cream’ soon…
hi my name iss Will and im 16yrs old, not sure what chance we have cause everybody deserves this but i would love to win this for my mum, we live in an old suburb and our house is 60 years old i dont know when the last time it was painted outside, never has been since we moved in 10 years ago. We had to evacuate just before christmas because of the floods and my mum cleaned all inside but she is desperate to have it painted outside and like new again..pls help her and good luck to everyone
Will, glad you both survived the floods. It certainly sounds like you’ve been through a tough time of late. Thanks for entering and for your kind wishes to everyone else. Good luck!
I would love to paint our cottage which was built in the 1888s & is the last remaining building in the main street of our village where I came from called Bimbi
It has been recently listed by the Weddin Shire Council as very high heritage value to the area as very little remains of the village as most of the men enlisted in the First World War & did not return & then it was bypassed by the Railway, houses were moved to other locations & buildings pulled down
We bought it in 1986 to preserve it & some of our local history as so much had been destroyed & it desperately needs a paint job & this was highly recommended by the Heritage Officer to preserve it
It Was the original Post Office , General Store & then an Indian Hawker lived in the Cottage & after he died it became known as Mrs Khans Cottage .
Dulux’s historic paint catalog would certainly offer you some beautiful colours to choose from. We wish we could re-paint everyone’s homes!
Hi I would love to have my mothers farm house painted my mother lived in the house for 50 years & bought up 6 children by herself & ran the family farm my father died suddenly of a heart attack in 1976
My mother had a stroke in 2004 which she recovered from but had to relocate off the farm
Due to the ongoing drought & the recent loss of the crops due to a freak flood 2 weeks before harvesting & lack of finances the house is in desperate need of a paint I would love to win this competition & give Mums house the attention that it now desperately screaming out for Thanks
Well it certainly sounds like your family is due a break. Good luck and thanks for entering our competition.
Please paint our Home it really needs up-dating we both work full time and have 3 teenage kids.
)
My husband painted the house about 8 years ago inside and outside it is a queenslander which we built in 1994 and we would love to win this as we have not afforded for someone else to do the work for us and now we do not have the time and money. Can supply tea, coffee ( cake all home made)
It’s not an inexpensive exercise, re-painting your home, especially with top quality paint like Dulux. Thanks for entering the competition.
Kim, be careful… an army of Dulux painters might be on your doorstep any minute because they’ve heard about those home made cakes! We love those wonderful old Queenslanders but we can sure relate to the amount of timberwork. They’re a labour of love but they are the quintessential Australian! Good luck.
We bought our house through First National Real Estate Nowra, it needed work, painting was put on hold we both had health issues. We are ready now to finish making our house into our home with lovely coloured walls to bring out the Sunshine and miles of smiles
:):):):):):):):):):):):)
Thanks for buying from First National. Good luck with the competition. Fingers crossed…
I could think of nothing better then a fresh coat of paint for my home. As a single mum things are financially tough as it is and I have just brought my own house. It would be heaven to have my own colours in my home. Would really make it feel like mine….
Sending our prayers…
Well I rent my property i would like to win this prize ass a gift for my landlord he does all he can to make his house my home my home hasnt had a paint job for at least 30 years
Let’s hope we can help Peter.
I care for my 90 year old Mother and a couple of years ago I bought an old wooden church in a small community that I will I hope, eventually live. This church is lovely has been renovated inside but it does need a really good professional paint job and I have used Dulux previously and was very happy with that painting job, and I would be really happy to use Dulux again.
Carol… start praying! Perhaps your prayers will hook into the prayer hotline that all churches must have to heaven.
Good luck. 
I am currently 8 months pregnant and live in a little cottage that is almost 100yrs old, My parents live in the property next door and I would love to paint both of our houses. We are in the middle of trying to renovate the properties and a wonderful coat of Dulux paint would just be the ultimate way to finish of the projects.
Thank you.
Larelle
Hi Larelle, hope you’ve got your feet up and that a Stork delivers a happy, healthy bundle of joy in four weeks! We’d love to paint both your cottages. Good luck!
We are having our third baby and have just added bedrooms and would love the clading to all match and look fresh. It would be a huge load off us
i’d like to win this for my mother and father because there are so hard working and great parents but just dont have the money
We l
We live at Eatonsville in the old church built in 1931 and she has been restored into a home. We want to put it on the market the only problem being we are unable to paint the outside of her and the roof on the inside money and health stop us. I know if we won the dulux paint job it would definitely put us in a much better position to sell her and buy what we would like. HOPE YOU PICK OUR OLD LADY.
She sounds divine!
just bought an original 1970s house everything is wallpapered and we need to bring it todays look
a good strip and repaint will do it wonders but time and the my old body would make this a life time project if i do it myself,why did we buy it,it is a good old house with a personality but needs a revamp to give it what it needs
Darrell, you might find some of those wallpapers are coming back into vogue, but no doubt, a few touches of Dulux here and there would make all the difference!
We would really love to win this prize as it is our first home, which we bought 2 years ago and have not had the money to do much to it. Would really love to make it feel like home, we have 4 beautiful children, who we love very much and they always come first, it would be great to have something for us for a change
Sounds like you have your hands full Michelle. Well we’re getting down to the wire now with slightly over 24 hours till the competition closes in NSW.
My son recently got married & bought a little house that badly needs a coat of paint,i can’t climb ladders
anymore or i would paint it ,but i could help in other ways.His beautiful wife & he both work & want to start a family, Please come & help me paint it for them..
Thank You..Matt Caruana
Please paint our house
Thanks Matt.
Succinct Matt, we like that!
WoW!! so many houses that need painting.So many people with problems,I would dearly love to paint our house as well.Everyone needs a helping hand sometimes & I think what your doing isgreat,if we could all chip in & help others it would definitely be a better world, so thanks.. I really want the chance to be in the draw,so here it is .
Thanks everybody for entering our competition to win a re-paint to the value of $10,000. The winner of Pimp Your Property was a Ms Sandra Armstrong of Belrose, Sydney.
We hope you’ll throw your hats in the ring for an opportunity to win our next competition starting in July to win free fuel for a year with Caltex.
First National has lots of tips and advice about property renovation. Don’t hesitate to visit our website or call into one of our offices for helpful advice.
Congratulations. I would like to read her entry
Why can’t SA people enter. I was born in NSW. Does that count??? We need house painted desperately. With three young children you can imagine the walls that have been drawn on and the house itself is in the heritage listing so to bring it back to natural it would be really great. Then it would just be the roof left to do.
Hi Meredith,
Thanks for your inquiry.
First National Real Estate is a co-operative and, as such, some marketing initiatives are coordinated at state level. In this particular case, the competition has closed, the winner being drawn last month – Manly, Sydney.
Look out for our national competition in October where winners will have an opportunity to win five prizes of $5000 worth of Bunnings gift cards. That would see you home re-painted!
Just visit any First National Real Estate office’s website in October.
Regards,

To win this competition would be amazing! My boyfriend and I haven’t had the best financial run in the last year and I really want my walls to have a facelift. There is still smoke markings on the wall in our unit and its gross. To win this, would mean so much to my boyfriend and I.
Thankyou.
To save money I decided to do the painting myself. I now need the professionals to come and paint our house to save my mental state. I have learnt that some things are best left to the professionals in the first place!
I would like to pimp my property as we havent painted all, as we carnt afford to do any thing to our house with husban lost his job and we struggle day to day and with three children and one sick child it will a a big break that we all need mostly for my husband which he deserves.

I would like to pimp my property as we have just bought the house and it is in need of a make over. We both work full time and have 3 children that we have at school and in care and all out money goes on child care.
I’d love to pimp my property as I work away a lot – That would give me some more quality time with my children AND make our house look great!
Why is the add still on TV? And it doesn’t say NSW only
Very disappointed.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your comment.
Pimp Your Property is a state based campaign and while it ran earlier this year in NSW, it is currently running in Victoria. Is there any chance you live in a border town like Albury/Wodonga? You might be seeing Victorian TV advertising I suspect.
If you are a NSW resident, you can enter our ‘Free Fuel For a Year’ competition right now. In October, we have five chances to win $5,000 in Bunnings hardware vouchers – that would certainly go a long way towards painting your home.
Hopefully that brightens your start to the week.

My partner and I have recently purchased a run down house, as we are only 20 years old and weren’t able to buy anthing flash, our house is very ran down, I’m currently studying full time at university to be a paramedic and working as much as possible to support myself, my partner is an apprentice and doesn’t earn much in a week. There are many things that need fixing to our house, at times the work can be overwhelming, I live in Victoria and I’m not sure if anything is running at the moment but it would be the biggest help to get my house pimped!!
Thanks’
Amanda
