Property Agents

Week nine and the stakes are raised as the eight remaining candidates are summoned to the top of the South Bank Tower. For the next task, Lord Sugar throws the teams into the London property market to sell mid-range and high-end properties to the city's most discerning buyers.

It's boom or bust as the teams have two days to fight it out to see who can sell the most properties and be rewarded the most commission to win the task.

Acting as real-estate agents for million-pound developments, one team goes on the charm offensive to win over clients, while the other team's overfamiliar approach fails to strike them a big deal.

As the teams compete to lure in leads, the sales patter goes into overdrive. Some try the soft sell, while others take the hard line, leading to deals being done and lost.

With each candidate out for themselves, it's dog eat dog as they race to cross the line. Exploiting London's booming market comes easily for some as sales lead to rewards. For others, it's a nightmare, as failed attempts to strike a deal mean they finish empty handed.

It's drama in the boardroom as the pressure gets too much for one candidate. As tempers flare and a heated confrontation ensues, Lord Sugar is left unimpressed. As his patience finally runs out, another candidate faces their final boardroom as they hear the words 'You're fired'.
