Episode 2

The new series continues, as we catch up with house-hunters who bought their perfect place abroad. In Torrevieja, Jean Johansson revisits brothers Peter and David, who bought their perfect place back in 2020. Former fishing and salt mining village Torrevieja is one of the most lively and popular resorts on the Costa Blanca. For their budget of £100k, Peter and David needed lots of outdoor space, a communal pool, and to be near to amenities. After seeing a few apartments with small solariums that cast a shadow over their dream place, the brothers put in a cheeky offer on an over-budget bungalow... and got it! Three years on, Jean catches up with them to see what they've done to the place and discovers what a lick of paint can do. They even crack out the paint and brushes for her to get stuck in, before they go for a bike ride down the promenade. Meanwhile, Jasmine Harman catches up with retired clergyman Father Ken, who left the UK for Larnaca in sunny Cyprus in 2021. Wonderfully positioned around a bay, Larnaca is famous for its long sweeping beaches and crystal-clear water. And the city itself has retained a lot of its traditional Cypriot charm with its almost 400-year-old fort. Ken's search didn't get off to the best of starts, but when Jasmine showed him a peaceful and welcoming apartment, he took a leap of faith and got it for just over his £80k budget. Now, Jasmine's back to see all the work Ken has done to the place, before being introduced to his visiting family, and taking a look round the church where he volunteers.
