House Doctor is a television programme, originally broadcast on Channel 5 in the United Kingdom.[1] Each week, the House Doctor – Californian real-estate stylist, Ann Maurice – helps British home-owners sell their houses with her industry know-how and style tips. The popularity of the show has lent the word "house doctoring" to the British English lexicon, which is similar to the American term home staging. This programme is now shown in many countries around the globe, which is broadening the use and familiarity of this term.
