0:01:14 > 0:01:17- ..in Aberystwyth, - is quite a character.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Iestyn isn't one to waste time.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- He sold Bay View bungalow - in less than a week.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- One of the pleasures of the job - is putting up the 'Sold' sign.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- The buyers are - David and Shirley Harris...
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- ..who have agreed to pay 275,000 - for the house...
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- ..which is ideally located - by the sea.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- But, even though their offer - has been accepted...
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- ..there is a potential problem.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- We've received the surveyor's - report...
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- ..and it is worse than we expected.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57- We thought we'd be able to extend - using the existing foundations...
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- ..but it looks as if - we'll have to demolish it.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- You're going to demolish it - and rebuild.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- In this location...
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- ..you should design a building - that makes the most of the views.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- We're buying it - because of the views.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- I feel that it's a spot - that's good for the soul.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- It's food for the soul - as we get older.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- As we get older...
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- ..we have to make difficult - decisions about where we live.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- The present owners, - Mr Lamb and Miss Pearson...
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- ..are moving due to health problems.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- It's an emotional time...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- ..as they've spent their happiest - years in the house.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- We've lived here for 29 years - and thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- I will miss practically all of it.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- The view is fantastic.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- The garden I've loved every bit of, - even though it's hard work now.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- The fishing on the beach. There are - lots of mackerel and dolphins.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- I'm very sorry to be leaving here.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- It's so lovely here.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- I don't think we'd be moving - unless we needed to.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- But now the keys have been handed - over to David and Shirley.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- It was originally - a timber cottage...
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- ..but an extension was built - in the front some years later.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28- Now, this enterprising couple have - some ambitious plans for Bay View.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- But it could prove to be - a challenge...
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- ..at a time when most people their - age are enjoying a quiet retirement.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Next year, I'll be seventy.
0:03:37 > 0:03:43- But I feel that we both have enough - energy to take this on.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- It's important to have something - to look forward to.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Something to work towards.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- It's good that they're looking - forward to the challenge.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- But it's a race against time...
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- ..as they have to sell their current - home in order to raise the money...
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- ..to carry out their plans.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Cardiff, the capital of Wales.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- The city attracts thousands - of young people.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- On average, buying a house here - costs 200,000.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- It's a high price for a young person - buying their first property...
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- ..and a massive challenge - for the housing market.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Catrin Tomos has moved to Cardiff - from Anglesey.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- She's been working in television - for three years.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- She's been renting, but is now keen - to buy a house or a flat.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- But it isn't easy for young people - living in the capital.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- I've talked to my parents - about this...
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- ..but I don't think they understand.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- They've only ever bought one house, - thirty years ago.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- My parents bought their first house - for 7,000.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50- You can't buy a car for that!
0:04:50 > 0:04:51- You can't buy a car for that!- - Exactly!
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- I don't think they realize - how difficult it is for us...
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- ..to buy a house now, - especially as I'm buying alone.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- That's why I've saved - a larger deposit.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- But not everyone can do that.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Just saving the deposit - is hard enough.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- If you pay rent as well...
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- ..you're working to live in that - house with nothing to show for it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- You're paying someone else's - mortgage.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21- The house I would really like would - have an open-plan kitchen diner...
0:05:21 > 0:05:27- ..two bedrooms, three if I'm lucky, - but that's out of my price range.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- I would convert the third room - into a dressing room anyway.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- OK, OK, calm down!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Yes, but a girl can dream!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- We all have the right to dream.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- But Catrin will have - to be realistic.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Perhaps this man will make her - dreams come true.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50- This is Tom Lloyd...
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- ..an estate agent who is keen - to help buyers like Catrin.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- He himself is one of the thousands - of young people drawn to Cardiff.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- I'm from Llanelli.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- I attended university in Carmarthen.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- I studied Religious Education.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- I enjoyed it, - but all my friends were here.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- I was always coming here at weekends - I loved the nightlife.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- I've always been interested - in property.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- I loved Location, Location, Location - on TV.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- When you sit down with someone - to find out what they want...
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- ..and then you find something - that's ideal for them...
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- ..it's a great feeling.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- That's what Catrin - is hoping to find.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- She's searching for the ideal home.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- But she'll need patience, vision - and a bit of luck.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40- Hi, how are you?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Hi, how are you?- - I'm fine, thanks.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- I'm looking for a house or a flat.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- No problem.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- I'm right at the start - of the process.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57- I've only looked at houses online. - I've spoken to a mortgage advisor.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- He told me that I could borrow - about 90,000.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- The bank of mum and dad is not - relevant to my situation.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- I'm doing this on my own.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- The nice questions now. - What are you looking for?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- I'm looking for a house or a flat, - with one or two bedrooms.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- What areas are you looking at?
0:07:19 > 0:07:20- Just Cardiff.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Just Cardiff.- - That's a nice wide area.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- We have something. It's a one - bedroom flat on the ground floor.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- It's on the periphery - between Pontcanna and Canton.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33- It's an ideal location for you.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- It's an ideal location for you.- - That sounds really good.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- Look at that bathroom! - Do you like pink?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- It needs some work.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- I could do some work.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45- I could book a viewing for you.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- I could book a viewing for you.- - Perfect. Thank you!
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents - have offices across North Wales.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- The man himself likes nothing more - than an ambitious project.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- In the last series, - the company sold Bryn Mel...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- ..on the shores of the Menai - to a businessman.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- The renovation work began - at once.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- The 39 bedroom house has now been - completely refurbished...
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- ..and is now quite different - from the original structure...
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- ..built by the owners - of the Titanic.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- The major expensive - project is complete...
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- ..so the next challenge for Dafydd - will be to sell the 10 luxury flats.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- The prices will range - from 325,000 up to 700,000.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Out of the ten, - we've sold four so far.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- We still have some work to do, - no doubt about it.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- But we're confident that they'll all - be sold by the end of the year.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- What we have now...
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- ..is the large house here - which has three en suite bedrooms.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- That's on the market for 695,000.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Over here, there are two flats - at the top.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- There's the buttery at the bottom - which has a spiral staircase.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- The challenge will be to sell - the rest by the end of the year.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17- Today, Dafydd is showing one of the - flats to Maryl Rees from Flintshire.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- She's come to view it with her son, - Deian.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- As we come in, - there's a cloakroom here.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Through here, is the lounge.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- This is the lounge.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- It's quite spacious.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Is the fireplace original?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Yes, it's original.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40- This is the living room which will - also include the kitchen area.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- There is piping over there.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- You would be able to choose - your own kitchen.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Maryl lived with her husband, Alwyn - and her mother...
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- ..for twenty years in the village - of Lloc, Flintshire.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- After losing them both - within a year of each other...
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- ..Maryl decided to sell - the family home.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- But it wasn't an easy decision.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- It was difficult.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- It was a lovely house. - I was happy there.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- I had good neighbours.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Clearing the house contents - wasn't easy.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- But now that I've moved out...
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- ..I realize that it was the right - thing to do.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- As people get older, - the work becomes harder.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- It's better to move - while they still can...
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- ..rather than wait - until they have to move.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- The decision to sell was difficult.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- But the task of deciding what to buy - brings different challenges.
0:10:46 > 0:10:52- I'm not sure that once I've put in - a kitchen and a dining table...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- ..there'll be enough room.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55- I'll need space for my piano.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- I'll need space for my piano.- - Right, you have a piano.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- There are so many things to consider - when you're buying a house.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Imagining yourself living there - is part of the process.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- This is the buttery.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10- This is nice.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- This would be your kitchen.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- I imagine you would put your table - in the middle.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- This would give you - what you're looking for...
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- ..in terms of a downstairs bedroom.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- In addition to a lounge and kitchen.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- But there is also a bedroom - upstairs.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- There is an en suite shower here.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- This is more suitable.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- There is a lot to consider.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- But is Bryn Mel suitable for Maryl?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Well, I'm not sure.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- I need somewhere where I can live - on one level if necessary.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- I have so much stuff.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Yes, we filled three skips - when she moved out of the old house.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- No, two!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- No, two!- - No, there were three.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- After all the musing - and discussion...
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- ..Maryl tells Dafydd that she will - not be making an offer on Bryn Mel.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Her search continues therefore.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- I wonder if Maryl will find - her new home?
0:12:17 > 0:12:18- .

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- He has a plan - for David and Shirley's house.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- I have a new camera.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07- I could make a presentation of - the house in the form of clips...
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- ..that can be uploaded to YouTube.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Will you be happy for me to do that?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- It's the first time I've tried it, - so we'll see how it turns out.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Will that sell the house quicker?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- I hope so, - and I'll throw it in for free.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- It will be an extra service.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- The house is on the market - for 369,000.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35- ..in order to sell the house - as soon as possible.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- I'm trying to create - what your eye would see...
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- ..when you first walk into a room.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- I don't want the clips to be - very long - up to about a minute.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- I will add some soft music.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- It's another way people can show - their houses.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- I like this shot - - through the flowers on the table.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55- I'm getting very artistic!
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- I'm out of breath from kneeling down - there for so long!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- The idea is to present these rooms. - One thing I can do is a selfie.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Oh my gosh! Don't I look handsome?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Now we come into the back garden.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- In the centre here, - there's this lovely water feature.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- The sound of the water - is very relaxing.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- It's that alfresco feeling.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- You wouldn't have to go on holiday - if you lived here.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Good. That'll do the trick!

0:22:37 > 0:22:42- Being part of a property buying - chain can be a worrying time.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46- There's always the risk - that something could go wrong.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- But the couple have - their fingers crossed.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- You have to be aware - that the sale could fall through.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- You have to carry on - with the process...
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- ..but at the same time, - you shouldn't get too excited.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Once the money from their house - is in the bank...
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- ..they can press on with plans - to build their ideal home...
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- ..on the site of Bay View bungalow.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- I think it will be exciting - to live at Bay View.

0:23:20 > 0:23:24- We need to be there to see - how the light falls...
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- ..and to see how we feel - about the place...
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- ..before we decide exactly - what we're going to do with it.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- If we don't like it, - we can put it back on the market...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- ..and look for somewhere else.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Maybe so. But that's enough stress - for one episode.
