Episode 9

The new series continues, as we catch up with house-hunters who bought their perfect place abroad. Ben Hillman catches up with keen runners Eileen and Richard in Oroklini, on Cyprus, at their dream holiday home that they bought in 2019. Nestled in the bay of Larnaca and home to some of the best weather in the Med, Oroklini is famous for its long sweeping beaches and crystal-clear waters. The village itself has retained its traditional Cypriot charm, and, surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque landscape, it was the perfect place for Eileen and Richard. Ben found a front runner early on with an apartment in the village, and then had the uphill task of beating the 'unbeatable'. A village house, a modern apartment and finally a village penthouse couldn't quite overtake the apartment, so Eileen and Richard made an offer on it. But after two rejected offers, they made an unexpected U-turn, and decided buy the last property instead! Now, Ben's back to see how they're getting on and finds out that their gamble has paid off, as they bask in penthouse perfection. Ben's given a run for his money as he joins Eileen and Richard for a jog, before they take him for a drink at their favourite local. Meanwhile, Danni Menzies revisits golf enthusiast Peggy and her mum Coral, who bought an apartment on the Costa del Sol in 2019... but things aren't quite as they seem! The first property Danni showed Peggy was more bogie than birdie, and while the next two apartments impressed, it was La Duquesa's golf resort apartment with two terraces that was up to par and stole Peggy's heart. With her first few offers rejected, she left a fourth and final offer on the table that the vendor accepted, just as Peggy and her mum were heading back home. Now, Danni's back, but not on the Costa del Sol! So, what did happen next? Three hundred miles away in Murcia, Danni finds out how Peggy's original apartment fell through, and her plans changed. Danni checks out her new place, before they head to the coast for some sun, sea and sand.
