0:04:15 > 0:04:18- I'll take a photo in here, - then one of the kitchen...
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- ..and perhaps the dining room - and upstairs.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- That would be lovely.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- We moved into this house in 2010.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- It's been a very happy home.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- My children have spent most of their - lives in Aberystwyth in this house.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- It will be a major change - for Marion and her children.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- She has just accepted a job - in Cardiff...
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- ..which means she has to move - to the capital.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- They've been very unhappy about it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- My daughter's first reaction - was to burst into tears.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12- My son looked at me with huge eyes, - trying successfully not to cry.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- I'm sure once we've moved, - they'll see the light too.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- Iestyn needs to get the light right - for the photos too...
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- ..because the house - needs to sell quickly.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- This first thing you see - is the view.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- In Aberystwyth, people like to see - the monument on top of Pen Dinas...
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- ..but it's also a nice family room.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- It ticks all the boxes.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47- A kitchen helps sell a house.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- This is a lovely room.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10- They're all things - that add to the value.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12- We call that premium.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- But how much premium - can be placed on it?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- It's up to the people - viewing the house...
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- ..whether they're happy - to pay extra for a house...
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- ..that offers a bit more - than the ordinary house next door.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Iestyn is under pressure - to sell this house...
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- ..so that Marion can start looking - for the ideal house in Cardiff.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- A house that will please - the whole family.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01- ..but it's meant to be - a dining room.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- It's been a family home - for many years...
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- ..but before the current owner - bought it, it was a restaurant.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- The present owner - has renovated it...
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- ..and turned it into a luxurious - and comfortable home.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24- The striking feature - on this floor...

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- If you live in a town - like Laugharne...

0:08:52 > 0:08:57- There's no doubt that moving house - is a stressful experience.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- But what if you were - about to give birth too?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- That's the situation faced - by Llinos Druce from Llanberis.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Are we talking to the baby?

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- We're going to live in a new house.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Llinos and her husband, Eurig, - are expecting their third child.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- I'm looking forward to it...

0:09:44 > 0:09:47- I don't even want to think about - what's in the attic.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- I think this box is full now.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- The baby is due in six weeks' time.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12- It could be tight, then.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- There's still a lot to do.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48- I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- Perhaps the house isn't dressed - smart enough. I'm tired of it now.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- There has been very little interest - in the house.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Nerys wants to try something - different in order to sell.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- I phoned a woman called Mandy - who is an interior designer.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- She's coming here today - to help me brighten up the place.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- I feel quite nervous about it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- I'm afraid she'll tear - the place apart.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- I've never had an interior designer - here before.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- This is all new to me, but I'll try - anything to get people interested.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22- Hello, Nerys!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- Hello, how are you?
0:11:24 > 0:11:25- Come in.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- The place has a really nice, - homely feeling to it.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- I think we should start here, - where you greet people.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- You have some nice stuff. - We could rearrange it.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- This is a bit of a dumping ground.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- You often find that in - a conservatory at the front.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- We could certainly do something - with this room to make it welcoming.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- May I look at the rest - of the house, Nerys?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- You can do the whole house - if you want.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Come this way.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00- This is the dining room.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- I've started moving things - out of here.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05- OK.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- What do you think?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- The room is lovely.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- What people want to see is that - it's being used as a dining room.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- So we could certainly rearrange - everything in here.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Oh nice! I like your old pictures. - Very nice!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- Although this is nice, - the bedrooms are quite small.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- You could take some furniture out.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- People need to walk into rooms - and imagine their stuff in them.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- I'll make a start. - There's plenty to do.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41- I'll get my stuff from the car.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- I'll get my stuff from the car.- - I'll give you a hand.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Thank you, Nerys.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57- She intends to move to Cardiff...
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- ..but it's a big step - for the children, Danny and Elsie.

0:13:06 > 0:13:07- They weren't happy at all.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12- We were all a bit heartbroken, - to be honest.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13- I feel sorry for them.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15- Were there tears?
0:13:16 > 0:13:17- Yes.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- When Mam told us we were moving, - I wasn't very happy.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- I thought about leaving my friends - and how much I'd miss them.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- I'm very excited about going. - I can't wait.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- But I know it's different for you.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41- What do you really think about - moving from Aberystwyth to Cardiff?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- I feel a bit better about it now.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- What does that mean?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- I was very sad at first. - I'm still a bit sad.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- But I think it will be alright - in the end.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- I am coming to terms with the idea - of moving to Cardiff.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- I've started thinking about - what's waiting for me in Cardiff.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- All the good things - that will be there.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- Before long, Marion will be starting - her new job.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- With the Aberystwyth house - on the market...
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- ..she's started looking - for a new home in Cardiff.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- In Llanberis, Llinos and Eurig's - moving day is getting closer.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Eurig is at home - to begin emptying the garage.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Good luck, Eurig!
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- They've just bought a five bedroom - dormer bungalow...
0:14:37 > 0:14:43- ..two minutes up the road from - Llanberis for just under 400,000.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- But, there's something else - on Llinos's mind.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- She's expecting her third child - in six weeks' time.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- She's worried because her two other - children arrived early.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- How have you been?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- I came in on Tuesday last week.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- I was concerned there wasn't much - movement, but everything was fine.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Do you want to listen to the baby, - Enlli?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- It's very important - for Llinos to takes things easy.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Can you hear the heartbeat?
0:15:15 > 0:15:20- But that's easier said than done - when you're about to move house.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- The midwife is happy - that Llinos and the baby are fine.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- So it's back to the grind.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- It's an opportunity to show - the children their new home.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Dad has the keys.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- In you go.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- What do you think?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Our new house is cool!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- It's obvious that the children - are delighted.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- At last, Iwan gets to see - his new bedroom.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- All this is your new bedroom, Iwan. - What do you think of it?
0:15:53 > 0:15:54- It's good.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- It's good.- - Do you like it?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Where's your bedroom?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- I'll show it to you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- They're excited about moving in - properly and sleeping here.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- We've done a lot, but there's still - plenty of work to do.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Everything seems to be going - like clockwork.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- We hope it will all be sorted out - by the end of the week.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Everyone is pleased - with the new house.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- But there's still a mountain of work - to be done.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Eurig still has to sort out - the garage.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- I'm trying not to pack things - that the children will ask for...
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- ..and that will cause half an hour - of crying this evening.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- There will be problems if the things - they expect to see aren't there.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- As I pack stuff away, Enlli takes - things out to play with them.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- I'm taking life as it comes.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- We have to just go with the flow.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- Eurig has made a four day plan - detailing what happens when.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- He knows that I won't plan anything.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- It would be complete chaos - if it was left to me.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- So there is a plan in place, - is there?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- But will the new baby keep - to the schedule?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- We'll see.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Back in Cerrigydrudion...
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- ..Mandy has started to reorganize - Nerys's home.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Can I ask who this is?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19- This is my former lover.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- He wasn't a very good boy then?
0:17:22 > 0:17:23- He wouldn't listen.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24- Do you mind if I remove him?
0:17:24 > 0:17:25- Do you mind if I remove him?- - No.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- I've created something there - to draw the eye as people walk in.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Also, here, - I've cleared this sofa...
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- ..and placed a throw - with a cushion on top.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Just to give the place - a multi-purpose look.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- I've styled this occasional table - a little differently.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Yes. Very pretty!
0:17:53 > 0:17:59- As I said earlier, this needs - to be laid out like a dining room.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- So, you need to bring the chairs in.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10- As you can see, there's - quite a change in the bedroom.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- I've added a throw - and two cushions.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- Although I love the white bedlinen, - they add a splash of colour.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- By the window, I've moved - the mannikin over there...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- ..so it doesn't obscure the window.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- You have a lot of nice stuff.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- I don't want to strip the house - of its personality.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Could you move in - and do the other rooms?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- I'd love to!
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- I'm very pleased - with everything she's done.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- I'll leave it like this now - and hope to get more viewings.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- They say there's a buyer - for every house.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- I hope Mandy's work - will bear fruit...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- ..and that Nerys will sell - very soon.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- Marion Loeffler - has now started her new job.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- She travels to Cardiff - at least once a week.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Her house in Aberystwyth - is for sale.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- As soon as she finds a buyer...
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- ..she and the children - will move to Cardiff.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- She's started looking for a house, - but it's a big city.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Which area would suit - the family best?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- I'm considering Fairwater. - It's quite a green suburb.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Property isn't too expensive.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- I'm also considering Whitchurch.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Although, property there - is quite expensive.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- One of the places I'd like to live - in Cardiff...
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- ..is here in what some call - Llandaff North.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Mainly because it's close - to a secondary school...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- ..and it's quite green.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- House prices in Cardiff vary - from area to area.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- A house in Fairwater would cost - about 160,000...
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- ..while a house in Whitchurch - would be almost 100,000 more.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Of course, Marion has a detailed - wish list.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- I'm looking for a house with at - least three bedrooms and a garden...
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- ..in a fairly quiet street.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14- I'm seeing plenty of houses coming - on to the market at the right price.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- But they tend to sell - very quickly too.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- The housing market in Cardiff - moves quickly.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27- For every house sold in Ceredigion, - five are sold in Cardiff.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- North Cardiff is the area - that appeals most to Marion.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36- To try and speed up the process of - selling her house in Aberystwyth...
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- ..she's decided to reduce the price - by 10,000 to just under 250,000.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- This is good news.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Especially for Iestyn Leyshon.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Rhys, how are you? Welcome back!
0:20:51 > 0:20:52- Rhys, how are you? Welcome back!- - Thank you.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Because he's found - the ideal buyer.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00- While Marion's in Cardiff, Iestyn - shows the house to Rhys Jones...
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- ..who is a first-time buyer.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- This is Rhys's second viewing.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- Iestyn is confident that his talent - for selling will do the trick.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- This is a spacious room - in itself.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- I like the idea of knocking through.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- It's something to consider - once you've moved in.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- I think I'm getting ahead of myself!
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- But I'm getting you to imagine - yourself living here already.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Follow me, Rhys.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- The bathroom is through there.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- It's nice and modern.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- These tiles are quite new. - There's nothing to spend here.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- The house doesn't need - much work.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- So if it costs more, - I can at least save there.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- You can pay more for the house, - but have less work to do.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- You're from Aberystwyth. - You know the area well.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51- Where do you work?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Where do you work?- - I work at the Science Park.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Just behind here then?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- It's about five minutes - from here.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58- Five minutes' walk?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Five minutes' walk?- - Or a minute in the car.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- I've come back to make sure - that I'm happy with it all.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- I very much like the quality of the - house. There isn't much work to do.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- The location is perfect for me - with my job.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- It's close to town too, - so I'm happy.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- I'll expect your call.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Things look promising.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- But will Iestyn be able - to persuade Rhys...
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- ..that this is right place for him?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- It was great to catch up with Rhys - for a second viewing.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- I have my fingers crossed - for an offer. Please!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Marion would be very happy.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- In Llanberis, - Llinos, Eurig, Iwan and Enlli...
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- ..have moved into their new home.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- And with the new house, - there's a new baby.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- This is Elain Mared Rose.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- She's just over three weeks' old. - She arrived on her due date.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- We'd just moved into the house...
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- ..my waters broke just before - midnight and I went to hospital.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- She arrived at 4.20am - the following morning.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- It happened really quickly - in the end.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- At least we had time to move in - and unpack the basics.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- We've settled in straightaway. - We love it here.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- It's lovely and quiet.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- It feels like home already.
0:23:22 > 0:23:28- We've settled in a lot quicker than - I expected. Within days, really.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- We have a new house - and a new addition to the family.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- Thank goodness Elain Mared kept - to the plan and the schedule.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- Sometimes all the pieces - fall into place.
