Episode 8

The new series continues, as we catch up with house-hunters who bought their perfect place abroad. Laura Hamilton catches up with Steph and Gordon, who bought their dream holiday home near Torrevieja in 2021. While Torrevieja is popular due to its many bars, restaurants and holiday activities, nearby Benijófar offers a more relaxed and authentic Spanish village atmosphere. Its pretty squares and traditional architecture create a charming ambience, which captivated Steph and Gordon. Their property search got off to a great start, and after their requirements changed mid-search it was fourth time lucky when a traditional townhouse stole their hearts. Now, Laura's back to find out what they've done to their dream place in the sun and what their plans are for the future, before they all make some homemade sangria and Laura's put through her paces by their personal trainer! Meanwhile, Jean Johansson catches up with Chris and Sue at their rural French cottage in Limousin that they bought in 2020. Offering a slower pace of life and a strong connection to nature, Limousin is a perfect place to unwind and live the good life, and also boasts hundreds of speciality cheeses thanks to the lush, green landscape. Chris and Sue's search couldn't have gone better and they loved every single property, from blue shutters and a quaint cottage, to a country house with a barn that blew the blue shutters out of the water. But it was a renovated stone cottage that sealed the deal for the couple. Now, Jean's back to see what they've done to their dream place and finds them still beaming with joy. Chris and Sue get Jean earning her keep before they take her for a spot of pétanque and a picnic.
