Channel 7 has a new renovating reality series coming to our screens in 2026. My Reno Rules will see four teams transform two neighbouring properties in a battle for a cash prize. The actual homes will be gifted to two lucky Australians, who will receive a call to say they have won one of the homes. The two homes were donated to the program by by LMCT+ founder Adrian Portelli, who until recently, was a serial bidder on Nine’s The Block.
“On previous reno shows, they might do auctions and, unfortunately, only 1 per cent of the viewing audience have the capacity to buy those homes,” Portelli told 7News.
“So, it’s an awesome feeling to be able to take the viewers on an emotional journey, watch the houses get renovated and transformed into a dream luxury home, then potentially win it.”
The show takes place in Melbourne, with the neighbouring properties located in the suburb of Bulleen.
Who is hosting My Reno Rules?
The show will be hosted by Dr Chris Brown, who also hosted Channel 7’s one season reality program, Dream Home. Before moving to Channel 7 in 2023, Dr Chris fronted shows on Channel 10 including Bondi Vet and I’m A Celeb.
The My Reno Rules judges
Former Block judge and interiors expert, Neale Whitaker has joined My Reno Rules as a judge. He’s joined by Luxe Listing’s Simon Cohen and stylist Julia Green.
The My Reno Rules homes
The two properties being renovated on My Reno Rules are located in the Melbourne suburb of Bulleen. Located side-by-side, both homes have three bedrooms and a 604-square-metre block size. While the properties are functional, they’re both very dated and desperately in need of a modern update.
The My Reno Rules asbestos controversy
Filming was reportedly paused mid-season when possible asbestos was disovered inside the homes. Following Victorian laws, all of the work was paused so that licensed assessors could test and remove the suspected asbestos.
When will My Reno Rules air?
My Reno Rules will come to Seven and 7plus in 2026.
