0:00:02 > 0:00:06Hello and welcome to an extended version of To Buy Or Not To Buy.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08They extend everything these days.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11- They do. Nails.- Shop opening hours. - Hair.- Films.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14- Hopefully, contracts.- And houses.
0:00:14 > 0:00:20- Yes, houses, which is what we're interested in.- Welcome to To Buy Or Not To Buy. About the contract...
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- We'll talk about the contract later. - OK, fine.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36What does an extended show comprise of? We still look at three houses?
0:00:36 > 0:00:41- Yeah.- We still do a test-drive? - You can't have To Buy without trying and buying.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46- We'd better look at some big houses, none of this compact living nonsense.- I agree.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49- Shall we meet today's buyers? - Yes, let's.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53This property used to be a three-bed detached house.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58But thankfully and wisely, today's buyers Jeff and Cath Smith chose to extend it.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- It's now a five-bed. - With a lovely kitchen.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- A glorious lounge. - And a conservatory.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- All backing on to playing fields. - With a good local school.
0:01:09 > 0:01:15Which all sounds fine and dandy when you factor their three kids into the equation.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20- It makes you wonder why they want to move.- But move they must. - Let's find out why.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25I'm confused. I often am. You have a perfectly good house, lovely place,
0:01:25 > 0:01:29school just round the corner and you want to move. Come on. Why?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33We've actually grown out of it with the children and the dog.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- It's big enough. - No, not for our mad family.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41You're in a five-bedroom house. You have three children and a dog.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46What are you hoping to gain in a new house that you've not currently got?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50We could do with a larger living space downstairs, a larger garden.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And also a guest room.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57One of the bedrooms upstairs we use as a study or an office.
0:01:57 > 0:02:03Occasionally, I work from home, so having a study downstairs would be good.
0:02:03 > 0:02:09Once the office is downstairs, you're much closer to the kitchen, coffee, TV's just round the corner.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- Might not be such a good idea. - That's not a bad thing.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Any other business requirements within the house at all?
0:02:17 > 0:02:23I would like some outside space for my aromatherapy business when I get it up and running.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Hopefully, not too much... - What, you do aromatherapy outdoors?
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- No, I do it inside. - I see, another building.- Yeah.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36I actually use the old dining room at the moment, but it's not very...
0:02:36 > 0:02:40No wonder there's no room when you've got your guests round!
0:02:40 > 0:02:45Are you prepared to do a bit of work, maybe convert an outbuilding or a garage?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- A BIT of work, yeah. - Yeah, not too much work.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- They both looked scared when you said that. I'm assuming "no" on that.- Yeah.
0:02:53 > 0:02:59I'm getting the picture of why you want to move. What style? We're in Cheltenham. Is it Georgian grandeur?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03That would be nice, but I think it's out of our price range.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09We quite like modern, but we like the old quirky features, really - fireplace, you know...
0:03:09 > 0:03:14If we could find some ancient building which had been converted into a modern house?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Sounds perfect. - That's the dream, yeah.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22What about your current situation? Are you selling your property?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Are you renting it out? What thoughts have you got?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- No, we're going to be selling ours. - Yeah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33I take it you must have viewed a few properties?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37We've viewed some new ones, some old ones and a few things in between.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- I get you. So you're fussy buyers, are you?- Yeah, well, we're open, aren't we?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45We've got all the information we need.
0:03:45 > 0:03:52- Just one question left which is rather vulgar, so I'll leave that to Jonny.- Thanks. What's your budget?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- Up to 440,000. - OK, that's a pretty healthy budget.
0:03:56 > 0:04:02Houses in Cheltenham are more expensive than the average. Is that reasonable for what you're after?
0:04:02 > 0:04:08Yeah, from what we've seen, there are properties of that value and the rest is over to you guys.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- Great.- You have confidence in us. - We do.- I don't. Let's get going. See you later.- Bye!
0:04:13 > 0:04:19Jonny, I am not normally a gambling man, but as we're in Cheltenham, home of the Gold Cup,
0:04:19 > 0:04:24I will wager that my property on this gorgeous budget will be better than yours.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27The odds of that happening will be 3/1.
0:04:27 > 0:04:33While he's figuring that out, let's find out why Cheltenham is furlongs ahead of its competitors.
0:04:33 > 0:04:39We've done a fair few shows from the famous and very lovely spa town of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Yes, it is a very popular place to live with To Buyers.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48If it's not the beauty of the Cotswold countryside and quintessentially English villages
0:04:48 > 0:04:54- that people flock here to see... - ..it's the unique Regency architecture of the town itself.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59The area also has some famous and sought-after schools, both state and private.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- Which boast some notable alumni. - Amongst them, the composer Gustav Holst.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08And there's the racecourse just down the road.
0:05:08 > 0:05:15Yes, Cheltenham has a lot to offer and it's this desirability that makes it a little bit pricey.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18But not as pricey as Ascot in Berkshire.
0:05:18 > 0:05:24Royal connections aside, this five-bedroomed equivalent of what Cath and Jeff are after
0:05:24 > 0:05:28would tip the scales at a princely £599,000.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Warwick also has a racecourse and a castle
0:05:31 > 0:05:37and should you wish to bask within sight of its walls in similar five-bed opulence,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41get prepared to part with up to £395,000.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Simon, I'm not a betting man, but if I was,
0:05:45 > 0:05:50this delightful property in Newmarket would be an odds-on favourite for a test-drive.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55As they say in the trade, £465,000 on the nose.
0:05:55 > 0:06:02The mystery property hunting team have been working very hard. We've got it down to three properties -
0:06:02 > 0:06:04his one, my one and the wild card.
0:06:04 > 0:06:10It may be a small field, but there is quality galore and my property, I think, is a real thoroughbred.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14This beautiful beast of a house is set in a fabulous location.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20I have one slight reservation - its proximity to Cheltenham, but that, I think, is a real goer.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24I'm backing property two today. It's all about price and location.
0:06:24 > 0:06:31It's not as sweet-looking a filly as Simon's, but if they want downstairs living space, this has it in spades.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Now, what shall we tell you about the wild card?
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- Well, it's from a very fine stable. - It's got some excellent heritage.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- It looks a bit like a stable as well.- It's got that look about it.
0:06:43 > 0:06:49- Do you know what my problem is? - What?- I just can't pick a dead-cert winner from any of them.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- You know who can help? The race-goers of Cheltenham.- Let's go.
0:06:55 > 0:07:01Three properties - I want you to pick your favourite, your outsider and your also-ran.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05I'm thinking probably it's more likely to be this one.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08My favourite would probably be...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- That one.- I'd go for that.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Favourite, second, third.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18If I was favouring location, I'd go for Greet.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22I'm thinking this one, but which one do you think? This one?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- That one.- But not this one?- No.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I would definitely back that one.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31- Excuse me, young man. - Not that I'm trying to influence you, but that one looks great.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36So far, I'm doing brilliantly well, although I'm in fact losing.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39But somebody in this town must like my house. I'll find that person.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- The first one.- That one.- Favourite? We're agreed on the favourite here.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- OK...- Second.- Yeah, I would say the second one, that one, and the third one, that one.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50They're going with the bookies.
0:07:50 > 0:07:56- Which one would you go for? - That one.- Or there's my one? - Or there's that one.- Ah.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- I'm going to put my money on this one.- Curses!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Beautiful. That's the one you want. Absolutely beautiful.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08That's the favourite. That's the winner. Carry on.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11A lot of strange folk in Cheltenham today!
0:08:11 > 0:08:17The good people of Cheltenham seem to agree there is a clear favourite, a rank outsider and an also-ran.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Now let's find that loser Jonny Benarr.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- That one?- That's the one, yeah. - But that's Simon's one. - That's life, mate.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Can't say fairer than that.- Is that enough?- Yeah. Cheers, brother.
0:08:29 > 0:08:35- And bringing up the rear of the field, it's Jonny Benarr. I think he's gone lame.- I've gone lame?
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- How did you get on?- It's gone really... It's gone terribly.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46Has it now? I guess that the good people of Cheltenham that you met agree there is a clear favourite.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Unfortunately, yes. I'm starting to question my own judgment.- Hmm.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56As I am the favourite and I like to lead from the front, we'll start with my choice, property one.
0:08:58 > 0:09:05As front-runners go, Mr Benarr, this property is likely to canter home furlongs ahead.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Like old Devon Loch. - Devon who?- Devon Loch, a horse?
0:09:09 > 0:09:16It was leading the Grand National by several lengths, then, for no reason, it tripped up and lost.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19But this house is on much firmer ground.
0:09:20 > 0:09:27Cath and Jeff, property one today is my choice and I'm feeling rather confident about this.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32We have brought you to this gorgeous property here, but before we talk about it,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36let's put us on the map. We have the Cotswolds over there.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40If you wander the other way, down a gorgeous footpath off the road,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44you come to the beautiful Anglo-Saxon village of Winchcombe,
0:09:44 > 0:09:48just outside of which Liz Hurley got married not long ago.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50What do you think of the place?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54It's very attractive. I like the Cotswold stone.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00It's modern, but it has been clad in that Cotswold stone to fit in with the area. Jeff?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03It looks a great size and a nice location.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Not too much garden, so nice and easy to keep.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Oh, you're a fussy one, aren't you?
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- Just a bit lazy.- Hopefully, there'll be a smaller garden at the back.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- You won't have to mow anything then! No, I'm joking, I'm joking.- OK.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Anything else to add? - I've got some good facts for you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27The local pub, always an essential. This is a community-orientated area.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Just a couple of minutes down the road. It's a family-friendly one.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Fantastic food, lovely local ales. That's the research you need!
0:10:35 > 0:10:37OK, one last piece of research -
0:10:37 > 0:10:43as well as the local pub, there are also some excellent Ofsted-rated schools in this area.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49- Fantastic.- That's where we are, but will the inside suit your requirements? Shall we find out?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Yes, please.- Get in there and enjoy!
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Oh, very impressive. It's very airy. - That's really big, isn't it?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Yeah.- Nice place to put the dog under there.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Straight in with a compliment. - Impressive.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- I like the wooden floor. It's very nice.- That's a good size.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- We'd get our dining room table in here, wouldn't we? - Yeah, it'd fit nicely.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15This is what I enjoy about the first tour. They're always a bit nervous.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Jeff and Cath walked into the dining room, saw a dining room table
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- and said, "You could get a dining room table in here!"- You could.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- OK, I do like that room very much. - That's good. Lounge.
0:11:26 > 0:11:33- That's a nice size.- That's really good and straight out into the garden as well.- Nice fireplace.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- You do have the focal point of that fireplace.- Lovely stone surround. - I like its simplicity.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Wow, look at the garden!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Lots of grass and not many plants.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- It's nice and wide. It's not overlooked at all.- No, not at all.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Nice.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53What have you got the brolly for? It won't rain.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- I know as much about the weather as I do about property hunting.- OK.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Oh, more rooms.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Oh, wow, that's useful.- That's great.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08- Could be a study.- Or for the kids. That would be really useful. - They'd fill this.
0:12:08 > 0:12:14- They're now in the playroom, but you've got plans for this. - It's the aromatherapy room.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Yeah, I like it. It's nice. Shall we see what's through there?
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- You'll like this. It's nice and big. - I like it, yeah. Plenty of room for the table.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29- I like the cooker. That's nice. - And a newish kitchen. - Five rings as well.- Loads of space.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Plenty of living space here.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35This is exactly the kind of kitchen that Cath was after.
0:12:35 > 0:12:41She wanted a kitchen-diner where everyone could be together while someone was doing the cooking.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- I listen.- And you have provided.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- This is a great bit. - A great bit extra on to it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:53- Yes.- And a utility at the back. - Oh, a utility. That's very useful. - That's a good size as well.- It is.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58I like it. Very nice. And we've got a back door to the garden which is fabulous.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03It is useful, otherwise you'd never get into the garden. The fence is too high.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Oh, which way do we go?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- It's nice and big up here. - Oh, wow, this must be the office.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15- That's good. That means downstairs you could keep that as a kids' room or you could flip it around.- Yeah.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19That's really useful. And when you're working,
0:13:19 > 0:13:23you get to see the view as well. It even looks good in the rain.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to British summer time! - It's the glamour of it all!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Oh, this is a nice size, Cath.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36- It's bigger than what we've got. - That's interesting. I like it. It's nice.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40It's nice that the carpet runs through the whole of the upstairs.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- En-suite?- I didn't notice that. That's a surprise.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- That en-suite is so big, there's an echo.- Wow, what a lovely size!
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- That is really big.- Yeah. - Nice shower as well.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58- Good size.- And tiles all over. Really easy to clean, isn't it? - Fantastic.- And spotlights.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- I wonder if this is the master en-suite, master bedroom?- Looks like it.- Yeah.- Shall we have a look?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06OK, let's go and see.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09This is a nice, big size as well.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- That's big again.- Yeah.- That's probably bigger than the last one.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18- Double wardrobes.- You'd get all your clothes in.- One each as well.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- A little set of drawers for mine. - Yeah, I like it.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27Jeff knows his place. He gets a little set of drawers. The rest of the fitted wardrobes...
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- What a lovely size! Oh, wow, another en-suite! - That's bigger than the last one.
0:14:32 > 0:14:39- There's a double shower.- Would you keep this one as your master or have the other one?- This one, definitely.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- I've given them a choice of master bedrooms.- It's nice to be spoilt.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- Aw, this is really pretty! - The girls will be fighting over it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:54This one is definitely a Megan one. And a double wardrobe. And a single one. I like this room very much.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57It's good.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Bathroom or bedroom?- Bathroom.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05- It's all done the same again. It's nice.- Yeah. It's quite a good size.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Split between the two rooms. - The kids would have this room.
0:15:08 > 0:15:14- I've provided a five-bedroomed house and the kids are all shoved in one room.- I like their thinking.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Last room then. That's five rooms.- Yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Three toilets upstairs, one downstairs. Somebody's left out.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27I like this room. Got another built-in wardrobe which is so useful.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29What do you think then?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- Yeah, I like it.- It's a good size. - It ticks all the boxes.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- Nice and big downstairs.- Yeah. There's not much work to do at all.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- I suppose we'll have to find out how much it is.- Let's go and see.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49I'm feeling very positive for two reasons. First of all, I'm now dry.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- That's a positive, isn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56But also we got good vibes through the headphones. You seemed to like this place.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Yeah, it ticked all the boxes, Simon, I think.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Very nice, airy, large downstairs, two en-suites.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05And plenty of bedrooms.
0:16:05 > 0:16:11Jeff, I know the study was something quite key for you. Again it's been doubled up in the fifth bedroom.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15But you have got the addition of the downstairs playroom.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Would you make that the study and have a playroom upstairs or keep it the way it is?
0:16:20 > 0:16:26- Probably keep it as it is. Less decorating.- And the downstairs room is the aromatherapy room.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Yes.- We've got an argument about this.- I know.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34You should put the aromatherapy room in one of the garages.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37You're better off having it accessed from the outside
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- and the kids have a playroom inside. - Could convert it.
0:16:41 > 0:16:47The other benefit of this property is it's only two years old, so the certificates are in place.
0:16:47 > 0:16:53If you did encounter problems, you do have an avenue for recourse. That's something to bear in mind.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Right, price?
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- Would you like to go first? - Your budget is £440,000.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03How much for this gorgeous place in Greet?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I reckon we're close to budget, probably around 430?
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I'll say just a little bit higher - 435,950.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I've been a bit naughty.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19This place is actually on the market for £485,000.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- Really? Wow!- Before you kill me, there's a good reason for that.
0:17:23 > 0:17:30The property team and I happen to know that an offer was accepted on this property very recently,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34which in the end fell through because the chain fell through,
0:17:34 > 0:17:38but much, much closer to your budget than the asking price.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43I can't give you figures, I can't say too much, but that's the reality of the situation.
0:17:43 > 0:17:50- So they are very keen to move.- OK. - But it's massively over your budget. Let's look at property number two.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Jonny, if I said Best Mate, Royal Frolic and Looks Like Trouble, what would you think of?
0:17:58 > 0:18:04- That's easy. Me.- No, they are all ex-Gold Cup winning racehorses which have sadly passed away.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- That's relevant because...?- You need to flog your own dead horse now.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Let's show them your property.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Jeff, Cath, here we are at my choice, property two.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Simon kicked things off in the beautiful village of Greet.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23I've brought us a lot closer to Cheltenham, about ten minutes away.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28It's an area known as The Reddings, just on the outskirts of Cheltenham.
0:18:28 > 0:18:34Simon's property was this beautiful, Cotswold stone-clad house, and hats off to him on that,
0:18:34 > 0:18:38whereas this is a bit more of an unusual property, it's fair to say.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- First impressions of the property? - It's smaller than the last one.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47But obviously, we'll see what it's got inside. Yeah, it looks OK.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I think it's quite deceiving. It might go back a long way, hopefully.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56- Yes.- I like the way it's different from all the other houses along the street.
0:18:56 > 0:19:02- I'm not sure about the busy road. - There's a couple of things to discuss with that.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07The phrase "deceptively spacious" was coined for properties such as this.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12And all of the properties along this road are individually designed,
0:19:12 > 0:19:18so you've got a real air of uniqueness about the property, which a lot of people are looking for.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21You don't want to buy a house which is the same as next door and so on.
0:19:21 > 0:19:27- Get inside. See you in a bit. - It won't take you long to get there. Watch out, you'll hit the house!
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- That's not a bad-sized hall.- No.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33OK, we'll make our way there.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37OK, a good-sized lounge. I like this.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- It's lighter in here, isn't it? - Yeah, I like the bay windows.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44And the radiator covers are a nice attraction.
0:19:44 > 0:19:50I worry about what people think about a property when they talk about the radiator covers.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52This must be the study. That's nice.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56It's a study now. What do you think Jeff and Cath would use it for?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- I'll go with a study.- Brilliant.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I'm not sure about this bit here, how it would fit in,
0:20:02 > 0:20:06if it flows from there into this, if it just hadn't been a dead space?
0:20:06 > 0:20:12- We could use it as a little bit of a play area for the children. - Mm-hm.- It would be good. Yeah.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Kitchen? - Yeah, let's go through then.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Oh, wow, this is great!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- Nice and big, isn't it? - Jonny's done a really good job here.
0:20:23 > 0:20:29The vendors did a fabulous job. I really like the flow of the place and the feel of the place.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34It's got an island in the middle, so the kids could race round after each other.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Look at the windows.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- Very nice. They're really nice. - It's nice and light.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- Gives it a bit of a quirky feel, doesn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Every credit to the vendor-builder of this place
0:20:47 > 0:20:52because the extension, the kitchen, with those roof lights is a fantastic bright space
0:20:52 > 0:20:57and you get daylight back into the lounge which would otherwise have become a cave.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02The thing is, it's not much different from what we've got.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- The landing space is a very similar layout.- Yes.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- The bathroom looks neat.- I like the corner bath.- Quite small though.
0:21:09 > 0:21:15- And there's no shower. - Yeah, that's a point. But I like the tiles and the natural...
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Very natural shell-look toilet seat. - Yes, it is very nice.
0:21:19 > 0:21:25- If there was one part of this property to update, what would it be?- The bathroom, definitely.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- It's the only area.- Yeah.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Nice wooden floor.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- That's nice.- Yeah, it's nice and light in here, isn't it?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I like the double wardrobes, the spotlights.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- That's a good idea. You could get a big bed in here as well.- En-suite?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- Oh, that's a nice size. Lovely light. - That's better, isn't it?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Yeah, I like that.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52- It's white, so you can just do whatever you like to it.- It's good.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Normally, I have no time for you,
0:21:54 > 0:21:59but on this occasion, I'm going to stand up for you. This is a lovely house.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Oh, next room up.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07That's a good size. That's got the same bed as Chloe.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Her bed would be fine in here.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13You've got three kids, five bedrooms there. It's a cracking property.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Another bed. Same again. - Another bed the same.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- But a bit of a smaller room. - It's dark, isn't it?
0:22:20 > 0:22:25- Yeah.- It's dark and small and it's probably smaller than the third room we've got.
0:22:25 > 0:22:31Space and light seem to be their two biggest concerns here. They were spoilt with your property.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36But it's amazing how big a house is when it's £45,000 over budget!
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Oh, there's a surprise!
0:22:39 > 0:22:44- What, a surprise how small it is or...?- How light it is, to be quite honest.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Yes, at last, we've got a positive comment upstairs!
0:22:48 > 0:22:54Following on the theme with the kitchen, they've put two skylights in, both front and rear...
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Dual-aspect, if you will! Even on a murky day, it's lovely and light.
0:22:58 > 0:23:05- They're quite a good idea.- There's a good view over the back there, over the fields. Shall we go?- Yes.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Thank you.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- That's a nice, square room. - Nice and light again.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19- You'd get a double bed in here. - And a view out the window again. That's a big plus.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24I was expecting another en-suite, to be quite honest, upstairs.
0:23:24 > 0:23:30- But obviously, Jonny couldn't find one.- It's too much like what we've got at the minute.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33It's like everything's trying to be crammed in.
0:23:33 > 0:23:39You've got good space downstairs, but it's not used very well and upstairs all the rooms are small.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41This has gone pretty badly for me.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44But it's near the train station. I'm out of here!
0:23:44 > 0:23:48No, stay. I'm with you. I'm going to have a word.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Leave it, Jonny.- No.- Leave it. I'll deal with this.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59In all fairness, it's not very often we agree on something.
0:23:59 > 0:24:06- You asked for a property that had more living space being the most important thing.- Yeah.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10How very dare you! I've been holding off too long.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16You live in a five-bedroom house, but it was the downstairs living space that was really the concern.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22- Yeah.- So, with this place, you've got this massive reception room, in excess of 25 feet,
0:24:22 > 0:24:28this big kitchen-dining room, a utility room, a downstairs study, and you're still not happy.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32I got the feeling that the bedroom dimensions were more of a worry.
0:24:32 > 0:24:39The downstairs living space was fine. The kitchen's great, it's nice to have a study downstairs.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45- But upstairs is too near to what we have at home.- I know we were spoilt with Simon's over-budget house
0:24:45 > 0:24:47with its big bedrooms!
0:24:47 > 0:24:51But you feel that you'd not be gaining enough with this property?
0:24:51 > 0:24:57- Yeah.- The guest bedroom is great, but we know lots of couples, not just single people.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59It's not particularly big.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Guess the price. Your budget is £440,000.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08At the moment, it's one-nil to Cath, Jeff, so I tell you what - you're going first.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13I think probably a bit lower than Simon's because of the space and everything.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Probably less than 400. 380 to 390?
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- Well, come on. - You can't give us a range.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22OK. 380.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I reckon...395?
0:25:24 > 0:25:30You're both in a similar ballpark, but Jeff, you're going to just pinch this one.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34It's on the market for 379,950, so just under the 380 mark.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39It's 100,000 less than Simon's place, still 60,000 beneath your budget,
0:25:39 > 0:25:46- so it's interesting to see what kind of property you can get without stretching yourselves right up.- Yes.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49What do you think, now you know the price?
0:25:49 > 0:25:55I think from where we are now to come to here, the price differential wouldn't give us much advantage.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00So you would see this as a move sideways, rather than upwards?
0:26:00 > 0:26:06- Yeah, definitely.- In that case, shall we go onwards and upwards? - The wild card?- It's this way.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11A history lesson for you now.
0:26:11 > 0:26:18When the front of today's wild card was built in the 1600s, England was on the brink of civil war.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22I did not know that, but I bet you knew this because of your age.
0:26:22 > 0:26:28- When the back of the house was built in the 1970s, The Good Life was on the telly.- You're right.- I told you.
0:26:28 > 0:26:34Right, Cath and Jeff, the wild card. Everyone loves the wild card. Let's see if you do.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38First question. Here it is. Guess how old it is. Date it for me.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Gosh!
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- Hmm. 1800s?- Yeah, definitely more Simon than Jonny, isn't it?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- I beg your pardon? Give us a date! - I like that a lot.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Oh, I don't know. 1800s? - Yeah.- 1979.
0:26:53 > 0:26:59- Explain, Jonny.- There's a large extension to the rear that's been tastefully added to the property,
0:26:59 > 0:27:05but as you see it, this dates back to the early 17th century, 1620, to be precise.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07It's got loads of history about it.
0:27:07 > 0:27:13It was very different. Originally, it wasn't rendered and it was a thatched property.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17It was converted in the early 1930s and it was two separate cottages -
0:27:17 > 0:27:22a one up, one down on the end and a two up, two down just here.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26It's absolutely gorgeous inside and it's got so much character.
0:27:26 > 0:27:32- Yeah. The 1979 bit is the bit you can't quite see on the back.- OK.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37- What do you think?- I think it's very attractive, very quaint.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- But it's got quite a modern look to it as well.- Jeff?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44It looks really nice, an attractive old place.
0:27:44 > 0:27:50- The downside is a bit of painting, but hey-ho... - I know what you're thinking!
0:27:50 > 0:27:54"It's old, there's going to be work!" There might be a bit of work.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57This is a place you can really put your own stamp on.
0:27:57 > 0:28:04- At least it's got the tiled roof, not a thatched that needs replacing every 30 years.- That can be expensive.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09- We love this place. Will you? Let's find out, shall we?- Thank you. - Get in there.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12A nice, solid door.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19- That's nice. It's really roomy, isn't it?- I really love the space.
0:28:19 > 0:28:25- Let's have a look through here. Oh, wow, it's so open! - This is obviously the new side.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31- They've gone straight for the 1970s part of the house.- Yeah, no choice. That's where the front door is.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Then that's the old part going through there.- Yeah.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39- I bet it's really cosy here in the winter.- Nice light coming through.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41I'd like to learn to play the piano.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46Oh, Cath wants to play the piano. I play the trombone. Do you just play the fool?
0:28:46 > 0:28:52- Go through to the kitchen... - It's a nice size. It could do with a bit of updating.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- You could live in that.- Easily.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58It needs updating, but it's the size that matters.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Look, there's a utility as well. That's really handy.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06OK, you could probably knock that through all into one.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11- That would be a good idea.- And give you a bigger space for the table.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Yes, you could have it in the kitchen then.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19- OK, so this must be the old half then.- Oh, yeah.
0:29:19 > 0:29:25- Plenty of space under there, so we could have the desk and computer there.- Good idea.- Or the dog.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29He has to fit somewhere.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Wow, look at the exposed beams!
0:29:31 > 0:29:37- Wow!- That's brilliant. - That's really nice and big.- Nice, square room. How cosy is this?
0:29:37 > 0:29:40It would be lovely in the winter. Look at the fire!
0:29:40 > 0:29:45- Wow, a real fire!- That would be excellent in the winter.
0:29:45 > 0:29:51It must be really cosy and warm. I really like it. Such a change going from the new to the old.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55I love the juxtaposition of the old and the new in buildings.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00It's a great contrast and in that lounge those period features come to life.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05- Shall we look down here?- Oh, there's more, is there? Oh, fantastic.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10- It goes back quite a long way. - Loads of space for the kids' toys.
0:30:10 > 0:30:16Hidden away. You can shut the door and put them all in here at night, so you don't have to see them.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19It's a relative TARDIS, isn't it?
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Wow! This could be like either a playroom...
0:30:23 > 0:30:28- Or a little snug.- Or a study. - Or a TV room.- They could have their own space here.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- That's excellent.- Yeah.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- What's the most interesting feature in that office?- You tell them.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40In the corner there, the odd shelves are the original staircase from the 1620s.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- Shall we go and see what's upstairs? - Yeah, sounds good.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Downstairs has gone extraordinarily well.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- This is useful, look. - That's really massive, isn't it?
0:30:50 > 0:30:56- Oh, what a surprise! Wow, what a big landing!- Proper landing, not just a narrow corridor.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00You come up those stairs and you've got this fantastic shaped landing.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04It's quirky, exposed beams everywhere, slanted roofs.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08To the right is the 17th century and to the left is the 20th century.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Shall we try this room first?- Yeah.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Is it a double or a single? It's a big double!
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- That is fantastic.- Brilliant. - I really like it.
0:31:17 > 0:31:23You fall in love with this place as soon as you see those bedrooms with the oak cruck frame and the pegs.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25You are walking back in time.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29I like the shape of the roof and everything.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- With the beams, that's really... - It's really quirky, isn't it?
0:31:32 > 0:31:38Shall we see how many bedrooms there are? Let's check the rest out. I love the wooden doors.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42I love those wooden doors too because they are individually made.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Elm doors that were made from two elm trees by the current vendor.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Wild and exposed, the end, isn't it?
0:31:48 > 0:31:52It's a single room, but it's really nice.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57- It's got real character to it. - You could use it as a bedroom or as a study.- Yeah.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- It doesn't need much painting. - There's another one over here.
0:32:01 > 0:32:07- There's a little step up here.- It's another big one, Cath.- Oh, wow!
0:32:07 > 0:32:12- That's great.- It's bigger than the other one.- That's a little dressing area in the corner.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16I like that. You could put your wardrobes there.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21It's all painted on the beams this side. On the other side, it's a bit more exposed.
0:32:21 > 0:32:27- Is this the new bit?- No, it's still the old bit.- You can't tell the difference. It's such a good job.
0:32:27 > 0:32:33- Watch the step down.- That's a door fit for you.- Perfect height. Don't even have to bend.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35This must be... Oh, the bathroom.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37- Ooh!- Interesting.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Yeah. Very '70s.
0:32:40 > 0:32:46- Those 1970s avocado suites will be collectors' items.- It'll be back in fashion in a matter of years.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51- It's got a walk-in shower plus a bath. It just needs updating.- Bidet.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- Oh, yeah.- Clean your toes!
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Let's get out of here quick. - It just needs updating.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04This must be the master bedroom. It's very spacious.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09- Built-in wardrobes.- Yeah. - Shall we have a look in the garden?
0:33:09 > 0:33:14- Oh, yeah...- All the rooms have got nice, big windows. Nice and light.
0:33:14 > 0:33:20- Makes it light.- Even though some of it is a bit low down, you tend to get light into the rooms.
0:33:20 > 0:33:26Often in these older properties, they do feel very dark cos the windows are very small. Not here.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28And carrying on the bathroom theme!
0:33:28 > 0:33:33Yeah. The plumbing's there for it, so you could easily change it.
0:33:33 > 0:33:39- It'll match some of my old shirts, so I can get those back out again. - Yeah.- Shall we see how much it is?
0:33:39 > 0:33:43This property reminds me of you and I. I'm like the older part...
0:33:43 > 0:33:48- Traditional, steeped in history? - Yes, but in perfect condition.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Whereas you are much younger, but still in need of modernisation.
0:33:55 > 0:34:02You said it would be perfect if we could find a place that was really old-looking, but then modern.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- We did.- You did. - What do you think of that place?
0:34:05 > 0:34:11Very different. I like it. I like the old, I like the new. It's a nice combination of the two.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- It's just unique. - Very quaint, yeah.- Jeff?
0:34:15 > 0:34:21It's good. It's got a bit of quirkiness with the old side, nice bit of space in the new side.
0:34:21 > 0:34:27It gives you the option to do something. It's the new side that needs more doing than the old side.
0:34:27 > 0:34:33It is a lovely property. Despite the fact that it is 300 years-plus when the original property was built,
0:34:33 > 0:34:39it flows quite effortlessly and it works nicely, and you've got this fantastic garden for the kids.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44- So the wild card has gone very well. - Yes, indeed.- I'm very pleased with it.- But how well?
0:34:44 > 0:34:49We will find out by how much it costs. It's "guess the price" time.
0:34:49 > 0:34:54Your budget is £440,000. It's one-all. I love this.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- Who's going to go first this time? I think ladies first.- Thank you.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Taking into account the size of it, the garden, the old and new,
0:35:02 > 0:35:05it obviously needs updating here and there,
0:35:05 > 0:35:09I would say it was over budget, to be quite honest.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Probably, oh, 459.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17OK. Jeff, where are you coming from?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I don't know.
0:35:20 > 0:35:26I think probably... I think you've probably been quite kind to us.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- You've probably left us something in the bag.- Could be wishful thinking.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33So I'm hoping, I don't know, 410?
0:35:33 > 0:35:37OK, two years ago, you would have been closest, Cath.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42- But today, bragging rights go to you, Jeff. Well done. - Thank you.- It's two-one.
0:35:42 > 0:35:48Two years ago, when the property first came on to the market, it was on for £495,000.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53It was taken off for a considerable time, then they put it back on at £395,000.
0:35:53 > 0:35:59- Wow!- So well under your budget, leaving plenty of room to do the work you need to do.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- Or get someone else to do it.- Yeah.
0:36:01 > 0:36:07It just shows how much the market has changed over the last couple of years - a 20% reduction.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09That can only benefit you guys.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13We've shown you three very different properties.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Time for you to decide which one you'd like to spend more time in.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- Take yourselves off and do that. - Thank you.- See you in a while.- Bye.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Here's a reminder for you at home.
0:36:24 > 0:36:30My property number one went down very well with the residents of Cheltenham and with Jeff and Cath,
0:36:30 > 0:36:33so I'm prepared to put my house on this property.
0:36:36 > 0:36:42My choice, property two. I really liked this place, but it was always going to be a long shot.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47They loved the downstairs, but upstairs was too familiar. 100/1 outsider, I'm afraid.
0:36:50 > 0:36:56The wild card - we feared that the style clash of the 1970s with the 1600s would be a turn-off.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01But like the polarised combination of Simon and myself, it seems to have somehow worked.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12It's been a good day for the bookmakers in Cheltenham
0:37:12 > 0:37:18- because the favourite, my choice, fell at the last and you've gone for the outsider.- Mine was a contender.
0:37:18 > 0:37:24- No, it wasn't. You've gone for the outsider, the wild card. Why this place?- Bit of old, bit of new.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Lots of space. Just about enough upstairs.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Downstairs, loads of space. Nice outside area.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- It's a good-looking property.- Cath?
0:37:33 > 0:37:38We'd like to try a village location. It's very quiet, nice views.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42Lots of outside space and plenty downstairs living space.
0:37:42 > 0:37:47You weren't too concerned that there's not the fifth bedroom or the en-suite?
0:37:47 > 0:37:52Well, I thought we could perhaps jiggle around the bottom floor a bit
0:37:52 > 0:37:54and see how things go really.
0:37:54 > 0:38:00It's nice for Jeff to have something to spend money on and get stuck into in his spare time.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03That's what really excited him about this place(!)
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- My lazy move's out the window! - Yeah.
0:38:06 > 0:38:12- Our eagle-eyed mystery To Buy Or Not To Buy surveyor has been ferreting around this place.- OK.
0:38:12 > 0:38:18It's not a legally binding survey and we recommend that if you proceed with this property or any other,
0:38:18 > 0:38:21you get all the proper surveys and searches done.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26You might notice behind me we've got this new fence panel running down the side.
0:38:26 > 0:38:32On the other side is the original part of this property's garden that was sold as a business plot.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37Planning permission has been granted and a property is going to be built on there.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42Do ensure for your own satisfaction that you find out what is going to be going there,
0:38:42 > 0:38:46so it doesn't impose too much on to this property.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51The other thing he came up with... I'm a geek about this kind of stuff.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56One of the interesting points about this place was the multi-fuel burner.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59It burns oil, it burns gas, wood, coal, anything.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03It was put in when the '70s place was built.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07The room it's in, the utility room, does not have adequate ventilation,
0:39:07 > 0:39:10so that would need to be looked into.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14They're running it off oil fed from a tank which is corroding.
0:39:14 > 0:39:20- It's potentially not only a hazard in itself, but a massive environmental hazard as well.- OK.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22That really needs some attention.
0:39:22 > 0:39:28Apart from that, it's an old property. Even the '70s part needs some TLC. You know that.
0:39:28 > 0:39:34- So get yourselves in there and see which part of the house Jeff wants to start on first.- Let's get my bag.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- Bag?- I don't know. Cup of tea?- Yeah.
0:39:40 > 0:39:47- What was Cath on about with that bag?- I don't know. I suspect it will be bags of trouble for Jeff.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I'm sure it will pay off for him in the long run.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54This is going to make the ideal aromatherapy room for me.
0:39:54 > 0:40:00- No, it's an office.- Aromatherapy. Look, a shelf for oils!
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- Office, computer, internet. - No, do that somewhere else.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07OK, maybe not then. Poor old Jeff!
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Best look for your office elsewhere.
0:40:10 > 0:40:16- The wife's aromatherapy suite is rapidly taking shape. - She's not one to stand on ceremony.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21Girls have a habit of making their mark on a property and Cath's itching to get going.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26- She might need to hang around for a patient.- My back's killing me!
0:40:26 > 0:40:30That's your age! Jeff had to get something out of this arrangement.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34Yes, well, it is nice to see him relaxing into the property.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38That looks good. Come on, I've got to be next!
0:40:38 > 0:40:43OK. If Cath is to make a go of her business, she needs all the practice she can get.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48- You know what practice makes? - Perfect.- Indeed, but is this the perfect property for them?
0:40:48 > 0:40:52I've got a bone to pick with you, Jeff. The instructions were clear.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Go in there, look at the work, figure out what you'll be doing.
0:40:56 > 0:41:02Not go in there, slip your top off and get a massage off the missus. You let us down!
0:41:02 > 0:41:07- You spent more time in there. How did it feel?- Nice place, really relaxing and plenty of space.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Can you work out how to use that space to your advantage?
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Yeah, we could use the downstairs room as an aromatherapy room
0:41:15 > 0:41:18or a playroom or not a study.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- Brilliant. I like that. - Yeah, we'll just see.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26What about the cider press room? It's a great addition to the house.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Have you thought about how that could benefit your property?
0:41:30 > 0:41:34It's interesting. It gives you a lot of space you could convert.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Maybe that could be the massage room.- Maybe. Or your office.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Or it could just be a boys' room.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- Or a playroom.- Suddenly, the games room gets mentioned.- I like it.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48Right, then, we are into the final furlong.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- The finish post is just ahead of us. - OK.- Jonny, ask the question.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56- OK, guys, To Buy Or Not To Buy? - I'll leave it up to you.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00We've had a good look round and we're definitely interested.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04We'll come back and have another view and bring the kids round,
0:42:04 > 0:42:09get the dog, see if he can escape the garden, and probably go for it.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- A "To Buy"?- Yeah. - Good lad!- Nice one.
0:42:12 > 0:42:18Excellent. That's great. It's fantastically under budget as well. That's the great thing.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22There's work to be done to the place to really make it your own.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- That's fab.- Yeah, brilliant.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28If you two guys take yourselves off, I'm a bit tense around here, Cath...
0:42:28 > 0:42:33- I'm sure we can do something...- Yeah, absolutely... What? We'd better go.
