London & Paris

Paul and Andrew Foster-Williams are hunting for two properties, a home in Paris and a crash pad in London... Andrew is a successful opera singer and his career takes him all over the world - one month here, one month there - it's a transient existence. To have any sort of life together his partner Paul has given up his job as a theatre director to travel with him. But everyone needs a home and these two have decided it's time to buy a property; they want two homes,one in Paris and a crash pad in London. In Paris they want to be as close to the bustling central districts as possible. Andrew needs somewhere where he can sing to the birds and not disturb the neighbours. Paul just wants space. Money from the sale of their two properties has given them £170,000 for an apartment in Paris and £150,000 for a flat in London. Decent budgets but not in Europe's two premier cities. When you're used to the gilt and grandeur of opera houses, viewing what you can afford in two of the most expensive cities in Europe is certainly a reality check. Paul and Andrew have the property duo chasing them around the world, covering three countries and five different property plans. Enough to try the patience of a saint, and to her own admission Kirstie is just not one of those!
