Your Domain: The Block's Mitch and Mark already eyeing off their next challenge

They’ve been viewer favourites from day one, and even had celebrity visits to their worksite on The Block, but granddads Mitch and Mark have been quick to scotch a rumour that’s followed them around for a couple of weeks.

No, they don’t have a celebrity buyer lined up for their St Kilda property. They don’t even have a buyer yet.

“This week it was Roxy Jacenko [rumoured]!” Mitch told Your Domain on Saturday.

Mark added: “We’ve had Kylie [Minogue], we’ve had Roxy … I really like the fact that people are talking about it and I wish we did [have one] but no, we don’t.

“Because we shifted things up, people are surprised we did what we did, but no, no buyer.”

The dynamic duo say their extensive experience flipping properties before appearing on The Block this season has stood them in good stead.

“Each of the teams has different kinds of experience, and we came in having done properties before,” Mark said.

“We were able to plan ahead … we were really used to setting out a schedule, setting out a plan early.”

“We’re used to buying inner-city apartments in Sydney,” Mitch added, “and we look at a space and how the space works, so for us that was the first step; we did call back on our experience buying and flipping properties.

“The space has to work first and foremost.”

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the pair would be exhausted after such a large renovation project but they say they already have their eyes on their next challenge.

“We’re actually already looking right now at another project, so call us crazy but we’ve come off The Block and are hopefully in the process of getting something soon,” Mark revealed.

Mitch said the couple are looking at a “big beach house” on Sydney’s northern beaches, towards Palm Beach.

The two say that with auction day fast approaching, it will be hard to walk away from what has become their dream house.

“I would love to have that home for our lifestyle – empty nesters, lots of grandkids, entertaining, a few parties. It would work perfectly for us,” said Mitch.

The Block is open for inspection on Sunday, October 20 and you can see all the properties on Domain.
