0:00:02 > 0:00:04- We're in Cheshire. - A county with more millionaires
0:00:04 > 0:00:06than any other outside the South-East.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08This rolling countryside idyll
0:00:08 > 0:00:11is home to some of the wealthiest people in the North-West.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15I think we need a mode of transport to help us blend into this posh environment.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Something sleek and stylish.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Oh, yeah! Yeah, with all the mod cons.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Something that might purr kind of like a kitten.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Or roar like a lion when under full throttle.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26- Have you got the keys?- I have, yeah.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29It's... Oh, no, it's blue actually.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- It's this car here, then. Brilliant(!)- What?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- That's excellent news(!) - That isn't a car, it's a shed.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36- Shall I...?- Yeah.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- It has a gear stick, though. - I'll walk. Forget it!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- Wayne, Wayne! - Two questions - what are you doing and why are you shouting, "Wayne?"
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'm led to believe this is Wayne Rooney's house.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00I'm hoping if I chat to him, he'll come to Spurs next season and play for us.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- You think he'll listen to you? - Why not?- Why are you throwing litter at his house?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07That's not litter, look at these puppies!
0:01:07 > 0:01:12- You've printed up flyers?- Get him to come on the show, establish a relationship, then ask him then.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14That is a picture of Wayne Rooney's house, yeah?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Looks a bit different to that, doesn't it? Do you know why?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21That's our hotel. You are an idiot.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23(Wayne, call me.)
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Let's meet today's buyer, the lovely Shakila Khan,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31who is being helped in her search by her brother, Naz.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36Shakila has been living at home for a while now and much as she loves being under Mum's roof,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38she's decided it's time she got a place of her own.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Shakila's a bit of an action girl in her spare time.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46When she's not having adventures like abseiling down the Liver Building,
0:01:46 > 0:01:50she's to be found literally in over her head, scuba diving.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And she's in over her head in property terms too,
0:01:53 > 0:01:57as she's totally indecisive and has more desires than most women can handle.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So she's called in the experts.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01How long have you been house-hunting?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Officially, about four weeks.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Secretly? - Unofficially...for about seven years.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- THEY LAUGH - Right, OK!
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Naz, what's been Shakila's problem then with finding a place?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I think it's finding somewhere she likes, that appeals to her.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21You're with your mother and obviously close to your family, will it be a wrench moving away?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Oh my goodness, yes. - She's going to miss you, isn't she?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'll miss my mum, she does everything for me.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- I come home from work, the dinner's ready.- Really?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35She knows where everything is. She knows where my shoes are, she's just fantastic.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- You've got basically a PA. - SHE LAUGHS
0:02:37 > 0:02:43- Why not go the radical route and stay with her?- I have thought about taking her with me, but...
0:02:43 > 0:02:45OK, it's an option, isn't it?
0:02:45 > 0:02:51- So, in terms of a property, the problem, it would seem, is you don't know what you want.- Yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53But what do you think you might want?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55How many beds?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- About 20. - About 20 bedrooms, brilliant.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00OK, you need to rein that in slightly!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Two will do, two will do. - I'd say three.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Three?!- You're not helping much!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07No, I'm just saying, she'll need three.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09OK, style of property. What do you think?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Do you want modern, character...? - I want character.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Something quirky,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- with a garden.- DIY.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I have heard that you're quite brave in the DIY department?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Yeah.- Didn't you do something while someone was out once?- Oh!
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Yes, I did.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27My mum had just moved into a new home
0:03:27 > 0:03:31and she had a wall that needed to be knocked down.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34And she went out shopping and by the time she came back,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- I'd just knocked the wall down. - Anything falling down, was the house OK?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Just a few electrical wires... - It wasn't a supporting wall.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Thank goodness.- You left electrical wires...? "Yeah, that's fine."
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I wasn't expecting them to be there, I didn't know.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49THEY LAUGH
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Let's see the positive - you were brave enough to tackle something you shouldn't have.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Naz, how will you help today? - I'm going to rein her in.- Good,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- that's exactly what you need to do. - We're looking for a new home
0:04:00 > 0:04:03for you in quite an expensive part of the world.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04How much money have we got today?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08I have up to about 200.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- You've got a big job on your hands, because I'm really fussy.- Yes.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18- When I see it, I'll know it. - We're going to come up with what you think you want. Cross your fingers.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- We'll need your help today, Naz!- I think so.- All right, see you later.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Wish us luck.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Thank you.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Well, that's it, that's as clear as mud.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I have no idea what we're looking for today.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Viewers at home, any idea? Telepathically, send it to us now.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- No, they're as confused as we are. - Absolutely nothing.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I think what we're looking for... They like the country, as in the UK.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Yeah.- And they need... Well, she needs living accommodation,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49to shelter her from maybe the wind and the elements.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Targeting any more specifics?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- No, just that.- No. All right, I'm going to go and...do something.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I'm not sure what we can do. Let's just go.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00We're off, see you later.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Cheshire, Jonnie, the millionaire Mecca of the north of England.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08From Alderley Edge to Prestbury and Hale, the area is the residence of choice for footballers,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11wealthy businessmen and celebrities.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16Alderley Edge is said to have the highest champagne consumption per person in the UK.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19And the county's not just home to the super-rich.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22They let the likes of me and you in too!
0:05:22 > 0:05:28Cheshire is home to some of the finest gardens open to the public in the country.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32It also has more rivers, canals, ponds, streams and lakes
0:05:32 > 0:05:33than anywhere else.
0:05:33 > 0:05:39So, naturally, you'd think we'd be able to find a countryside property in an idyllic setting quite easily.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41But there's the question of budget, which at 200k,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44is challenging in the extreme for this area.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48We hope the pretty villages of Lymm and Knutsford will come up trumps.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51But first, let's see how far £200,000
0:05:51 > 0:05:54will stretch in other millionaire playgrounds around the UK.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01In Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03it'll get you this spacious two-bedroom flat,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07with a kitchen, breakfast room, lounge and balcony.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11It's on the market for offers in excess of £200,000.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15On the edge of the Cotswolds in Evesham, you could purchase this two-bedroom bungalow.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18It's semi-detached with a stylish interior
0:06:18 > 0:06:19and an enclosed rear garden.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22It could be yours for £200,000.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Fancy living near to the millionaires in Sandbanks, Dorset?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27This apartment is a great size
0:06:27 > 0:06:29with a kitchen, breakfast room,
0:06:29 > 0:06:33living room, two bedrooms and a private garden.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Wow! It's on the market for - yeah, you guessed it - 200 grand.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39So, Ken, this part of Cheshire,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43it's well known to be the habitat for the rich and famous.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46We've got a few famous people past and present lived in Lymm, yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51- Have you had show-biz clients? There's a lot of footballers. - I can't divulge that information!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Don't give us the names, but have you?- Yes.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Well, Bobby Charlton used to live just up the road.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Oh, I know him. Yeah.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- I got Mr George Osborne coming here all the time.- George Osborne?!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Ian Brown...- Ian Brown? - ..of Stone Roses.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06He lives... He overlooks the lake.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Ian Brown lives around here?- Yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13When George Osborne's in here, what's his favourite starter and his favourite main course?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Em, he loves the selection of the ham and cheese.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- He normally has cooked pasta. - George Osborne likes pasta.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Nightlife round here?- If you want nightlife, you'll go out on a limb.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25That's why the rich and famous like it -
0:07:25 > 0:07:28you can have a pint in an olde-worlde pub and not get hassled.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- My husband plays polo. - Has your husband ever played against Prince Charles?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Yes. No, sorry, he hasn't played against Prince Charles.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- Who's he played against, royalty-wise?- He played against William and Harry.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43One last thing. Wayne Rooney. No idea where he lives at all?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- No, unfortunately not.- Right.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48And where's your husband at the moment?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50He's just coming back from a polo match.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51And how's he travelling?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53In a helicopter.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Edward, pleasant times here? - Lovely time. Absolutely lovely. What about yourself?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Very informative time with an estate agent,
0:08:00 > 0:08:04talking about the top end of property, bearing in mind the affluent area we're in.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Unfortunately, we're not looking at top-end property. Maybe taste-wise we are.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14They are very nice. I would say she probably isn't going to be as lost for choice
0:08:14 > 0:08:17as she might think she would be cos we've found three crackers.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Well, cracker number one is my choice.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Now, she said she wanted period. I'm giving her period.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Her brother reckoned they wanted three rooms, or his sister needs three rooms.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Between three and twenty. - Yeah, quite!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Now, she's got two proper bedrooms and a further room in the loft.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34At least it's got three bedrooms.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I am in Lymm, as well as you. I have got a lovely property.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Normally, on the estate agents' details, they say, "Internal inspection required".
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Here, "Internal inspection essential." Of course it is when you're spending £200,000.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49OK, now the wild card, Edward.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Everyone loves the wild card. They always do.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- One thing Shakila told us she didn't want was modern.- Yeah.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- What's wild about this?- It's modern. - It's modern!- But it looks old.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Those are the properties. Where should we begin our journey?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I'd like to start with my first choice, property number one.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Yeah, let's get it out the way first.- Eh?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Today's first property is mine, and it's an end-terrace period cottage in Lymm.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21It's deceptively spacious inside and mixes character features with a modern interior.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Shakila wanted quirky. I'm hoping she'll think the surprise upstairs is just that.
0:09:28 > 0:09:34Shakila, you didn't give us a great deal to go on about trying to find you your ideal property,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- but one thing you did say...- Mm-hm. - ..was you liked Lymm.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Yes, I did.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40This is Lymm. Welcome to Lymm.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- It's nice! - You also mentioned character.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Late Victorian. What do we think of that?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- It's beautiful.- "It's beautiful!"
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Now, Naz, erm...- Looks a bit small from the outside.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- But it is deceptive, I'd say. - Can you see your sister living in this area?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59I can see my sister living here, yeah. This would suit her down to the ground.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02And if she has to travel to see my mum, again, it's not too far.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Can you imagine yourself cleaning the windows for me?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09I can never imagine myself cleaning any windows!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- OK, listen, go inside, try and think positive.- OK.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Ready?- Good luck. - Off you go.- Right.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24It's nice. I like this wooden table.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28I like this, with the two windows, cos it gives it a lot of light.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- You can't tell from outside the size of this room. - It's a really nice-sized room.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36And I'm really loving this fire. Look at it! This is just perfect.
0:10:36 > 0:10:42I'd pull this carpet up, get a smaller sofa, put wooden floors down.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46We now know she loves period features, fireplaces, warm, cosy feelings.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48She loves a lot of things, right? We know that now.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52We didn't know it earlier on. Lucky you for guessing this.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54OK, the kitchen's a bit...smaller.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- It's functional.- Yeah.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I would have to change everything.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I'd pull this kitchen out and redo it all.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Let's face it, we've got a track record with smashing stuff down.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Yes, and let's allow her to do that.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- OK...- That stair's a bit steep. I'm going toppling backwards!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Oh, this must be... - This'll be the main bedroom.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18..the main bedroom.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22It's a nice size, again, not too bad. You've got storage cupboards as well.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- Yeah.- A built-in storage cupboard.
0:11:24 > 0:11:30I'd have all that built-in wardrobe ripped out, just to give me some extra space.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Mum could have this room.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Do you think?- It's nice and bright. She likes bright rooms.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39For someone that sounded so indecisive, they're moving Mother in now as well.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42And she's definitely getting that bedroom.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Oh, OK. Small.- Oh, it's tiny!
0:11:47 > 0:11:52But this'd make a nice little office for me to study.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- And if you work from home as well.- Yeah.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Oh, so this is the bathroom. Wow, look at the bath, Naz!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- It's quite a nice-sized bathroom. - It is a nice size.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- They've made good use of the space. - Get rid of the baby toys.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Cool! I love it!
0:12:07 > 0:12:10It's nice, Shakila going through the things she'd want to do -
0:12:10 > 0:12:12get rid of the baby toys and otherwise it's great.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I think the owners would do that on her behalf.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18When people move, they take all their furniture!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Right, there's only one room left to look at.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Airing cupboard? Let's have a look. - Storage space, possibly.- Oh, my God!
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Oh!
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Just be careful, the stairs are quite steep!
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Hello?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Ohhh!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I wouldn't like to climb up here after a few Jack Daniels.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41It looks like it's a bedroom and study.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Oh, wow!
0:12:43 > 0:12:45This is the nicest part of the house!
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I would have this as my room.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Be careful not to bang your head on this getting out of bed.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Skylight.- The place for the bed...
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Telescope. That's what I'd have!
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I'd have a bed and a telescope.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01That's it. That would be my bedroom.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Right, then.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11So have you got over your fixation with wanting to sleep in the attic?
0:13:11 > 0:13:15No! I have found the perfect bedroom. That is for me.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Naz, when you said she gets carried away with stuff...?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- This is one of them occasions. - You'll be reining her in now!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- The attic is not practical. - It's not, but you love it, though.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28It is practical. I can put a bed in there, a telescope, look at the stars.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Happy days, go to sleep.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35That's what you want from a bedroom. You need a bed and a telescope. Fundamentals.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36There's a skylight in there, but...!
0:13:36 > 0:13:38I'm not going to talk this down.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- No!- This is all good news for my choice of property.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Shall we play Guess The Price? Sometimes when you know the price,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49everything falls into place and makes sense. Who wants to go first?
0:13:49 > 0:13:50- You go first.- OK...
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Maximum budget £200,000, and you believe, Shakila, it is on the market for?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57178.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00178 strangely priced pounds.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02OK, Shakila, that's your guess.
0:14:02 > 0:14:08- I think it's going to come below 200. About 185.- 185 from Naz.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Naz's is a better guess, but you're still short of the mark.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- The price of this house is actually £195,000 on the button.- Really?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19You see? It is posh round here. This is why footballers live round here.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24- I think on this one you're probably paying for the location more than the house.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Erm, shall we go to property two? - Yeah.- It's going to be exciting.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Is this the one that you've picked? - Yeah!- Oh, wow!- There you go!- "Wow"!
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- That's what a smile is! - Is that favouritism?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36That's misplaced confidence. Don't worry.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46Shakila wanted cute and romantic, and I have it here in this mid-terrace cottage.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50It's round the corner from Jonnie's, and, a bit like my good self,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54I think it has tons more character. Oh, yes, and the garden's not bad, either.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Now, Shakila and Naz, we are still in Lymm.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Do you like the outside of this one?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Yes, it's pretty.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- Do you think the outside of this one is more pleasing or less pleasing than Jonnie's one?- More pleasing.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11- More pleasing. Fantastic.- Is it?!
0:15:11 > 0:15:14So you've got a feel for the village before at Jonnie's one.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16What do you think about this part of it?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Yeah. It's noisy.
0:15:18 > 0:15:25Shall we ask the voice of reason here? Naz, the voice of reason, first impressions.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I like the look of this house. Just feels a bit more inviting.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Good phrase! And Naz does know what he's talking about.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Inside, it is lovely. Are you both ready?- Yes.- I'm ready.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37- Be on your best behaviour. - As always.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Don't try and sleep in the loft in this one.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Three, two, one, enter that dream house.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Off you go.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Hello? Is there anybody home?
0:15:49 > 0:15:50It's a nice-sized living room.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- It's just perfect for you. - It's nice and bright.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- Yeah, I like that.- I like the fact that it's all neutral colours.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59I don't like the view out of the window.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03I like the fireplace, and I don't like that mirror
0:16:03 > 0:16:08or that TV stand, so the TV would have to go somewhere else.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12These are fixtures and fittings that won't be included within the transaction.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14This is the way Shakila works with things.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19- Oh, the kitchen's lovely! - Oh, that's nice.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Love the cooker.- I like the set-out of the kitchen.- Yeah, I do.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26This is the selling point. What sell houses?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Kitchens and bathrooms.- Thank you very much. I told him that.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Oh, this is so pretty.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Ah, I love it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37What's...
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Oh, my God.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- All yours.- I love it!
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- It's lovely.- We like it.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Yeah, I'm liking it. It's nice.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Well, go back inside and have a look upstairs.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- OK.- You know this is here.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Yes, and you're sitting there. - Quite happily.- Yes.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Get some sun cream when you come back out, will you?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Oh, it's a bathroom.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- OK. This is a nice size bathroom. - Oh, that's not too bad.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- You've got a shower as well.- Mmm.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16This is the guest room. Euw! It's got an eerie feel to it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I think you may just about squeeze a double bed in here.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25But do you know what I do like? It's bright, it's airy, everything's light, neutral colours.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31She's now gone from saying it was spooky to now liking the brightness and neutral colours of the room.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34You make any sense out of that, I defy you!
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I would imagine this is going to be the master bedroom.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- Last but not least.- Oh, well, that's good.- Oh, this is nice.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46- This is much bigger than I expected after the last bedroom. - Yeah, I do like this.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49And I think these are probably the original floorboards as well.
0:17:49 > 0:17:56Yeah, they are. Oh, but, Naz, imagine if you could knock that out and have a nice fire, and...
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- The bed could go here.- I think that might be a supporting wall!
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Oh, is it?- So you couldn't, yeah. - Oh, well.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10So, Shakila, you've not let us down in your intriguing ways of describing rooms.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12All in all, though, yeah?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Yeah.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16It's good. It's a good house.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Mate, you try. You know, God loves a trier.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24- No, I do like this house. I do like the set-up, love the garden. - This is lovely, isn't it?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- Loved the kitchen.- Let's have a game of guess the price.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Now, Naz, you're streaking ahead with a huge lead of 1-0.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- So who wants to go first this time? - You go first.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- I go first.- Ooh.- I think I'll go in about 190 on this one.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39190. OK, interesting.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I am going to go to 180 on this one.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- OK.- OK.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Shakila, you are the closest, but you're still out. And you've over-valued this house.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Really? - The actual price of this is 169,950.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- How about that?- Oh, OK. - 169,950 quid.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Way off the mark.- Yeah.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59We've got a third house, to confuse you more.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Yeah.- If that is even at all possible.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03It is the wild card. Would you like to go there?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Yes.- I think so.- It's this way. - I think it's here.- Follow me.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15In time-honoured tradition, we'd like to offer the wild card that'll get our house hunters thinking.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Why break with tradition, Jonnie? Today's is down the road from Lymm in Knutsford,
0:19:19 > 0:19:23and it's not period, but it does have character.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- Now, Shakila and Naz, it is everybody's favourite part of the show, the wild card.- We do love it.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33It's kind of new, kind of near a road, but that aside, it could be your new house.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Shakila, what is your initial impression of said wild card?
0:19:36 > 0:19:40It is contemporary, but has reclaimed bricks, so it's old and new. What do you think?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- I like it.- Good, OK. - It looks really promising.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47It's pretty, and I can't wait to get in and see what it's like inside.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Now, Naz, you know, you're the sensible man.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51- I like you saying that.- Yes!
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Can you see your sister here? I can.- Really?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Yes, I can.- More so than any of the other ones?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59More so than any of the other ones.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03This is good news. We are looking at the house that we potentially like the most.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Well, listen, we've learnt from this, haven't we?- We have.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07We've got positive feelings here.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11We stay here long enough, it's going to go bad again, so why don't you go inside now?
0:20:11 > 0:20:16Enter, and be on your best behaviour. If you like a room, immediately leave it. Go!
0:20:22 > 0:20:25This looks nice. It's empty.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- And small. - Small, but there's lots of cupboards.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Oh, it's just so cute, isn't it?
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Oh!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Aah!- The dining area.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37It's so cute! This house is cute.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I'm going to call this house cute.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Hello, hello, hello!- She loves it!
0:20:41 > 0:20:43When is a room not small?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45When it's cute.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Now we're into the living room, I gather.- Living room, yes.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Oh, no, this is a good size.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52It's nice. I like the extra little window there.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56I like the way the doors go out into the garden.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Pull that fireplace out, make it more of a feature for the living room.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- We're changing that.- She's knocking it out because it's irritating her.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05- It irritates you as well.- Grrr!
0:21:05 > 0:21:07It doesn't irritate me. I love it.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Oh, Naz, look at this window.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Ah, this is lovely.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- This is the biggest room, or... - I'm not too sure.- Guest room.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I like that huge window. Look at that. That's lovely.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25There's loads of light in this room. They've got it right, finally.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28You hear that? "They've got it right".
0:21:28 > 0:21:32The mystery property-hunting team have got it right. That was double.
0:21:32 > 0:21:38OK, so we have the bathroom here, which is small but nice.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I like the tiling. Yeah, I like that.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Right, this must be... Ah, this is the other bedroom.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Both rooms are more or less the same size, aren't they?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48They're similar in size, aren't they?
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- Yeah.- As you don't like your bedroom at the front of the house, you'd have to use the one at the back.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Yes, yes. Storage.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57That's good.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- Ah, yeah, that's great.- So some more storage space as well.- Yeah.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Doesn't that take up a lot of room?
0:22:03 > 0:22:08I think you're just obsessed with knocking things down, so don't even think about it!
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Hang about, she's knocking something down.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- I think you could knock that down and...- No.
0:22:12 > 0:22:18- ..just have some spare room and then maybe a computer could go there for me.- No, I doubt it.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Have a look out the window. Nice view of the church.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- It's nice, I like it. - So, overall, this house is...
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- I think of the three we've seen... - Thumbs up. All round, I think. - Yeah, I agree.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- How was that?- Lovely.- Lovely!
0:22:34 > 0:22:38What would you say the buzz word of the house was, Shakila?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Cute.- It was, wasn't it?- Ha ha! - It really was.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- There we go.- I don't remember you saying anything negative about the house, to be honest with you.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50- You're in the rooms, "yep, that's nice, that's cute, that's lovely". - It is nice. I like the house.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Almost a couple of times where the threat of knocking walls down...
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Yeah. We weren't really sure what your plan was there.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01You were in the front room, and you suddenly got a wrecking ball out. What were you trying to create?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Just a bit more space.- Right.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Yeah. That's all. - Was it a good idea, Naz?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- I don't think so.- Yes, it was!- No.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09From here it didn't sound good. Guessing the price.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- We're neck and neck, aren't we?- Yes.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12- It's close.- This is it, the decider.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Who would like to go first?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I think Shakila should go first.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19What do you think it's on for? Budget of £200,000, your guess is?
0:23:19 > 0:23:24I think it's probably going to be over budget.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Yeah, so I'm going to go for 2...
0:23:30 > 0:23:328. Yeah. Random.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- £208,000?- Yes.- OK, Naz?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I'm going to come in at 198.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- 198, OK, all right. - Ten grand between you.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Erm, you're the winner. Well done.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Thank you.- Congratulations.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49- The actual price of this house is 189,950.- Ah!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- OK.- OK, cheaper, much cheaper than you thought,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- and you over-valued it, which is a good sign.- Yes.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Maybe there could be haggling room, cos there's no-one there. - Whoa, stop the pony.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Get off that horse.
0:24:00 > 0:24:06They, this very day, have received an offer that they're minded to accept if you don't better it.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Oh, OK.- Right, OK.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Right, you're at the point of the programme where you have to make the biggest decision of your adult lives
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- about which one you wish to test drive. Are you capable of doing that?- Yes.- Good.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- No! Yes!- And I think that's what it might sound like!- Head off,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24and we will see you outside your chosen vehicle. See you later, Naz.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Put some wise words in there, please, my friend.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- I have no idea where this is going to go now.- No, neither do I.
0:24:29 > 0:24:36- But here's a reminder of the three properties we've seen today. - Incredibly cute properties.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41Will she choose my property, number one, the spacious end terrace with the surprise attic room?
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Shakila said she loved it, but Naz wasn't so sure it was practical.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49It's on the market for £195,000.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Not a chance, Jonnie.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55My stylish mid-terrace is sure to win out, with the kitchen that they
0:24:55 > 0:24:59both thought was a winner and the garden that made them go "wow".
0:24:59 > 0:25:05It is well under budget at the price of £169,950.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Today's wild card did its job.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12- It was modern, even though Shakila said she wanted period.- She couldn't stop saying how cute it was.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14She even wanted to knock down a few walls.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18You know she loves a house when she wants to start knocking down walls.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21It could be hers for 189,950 quid.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Ah! The wild card.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Oh, so we're finally here.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34- Let's get knocking that wall down, Naz.- No! No, don't do it!
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Ah, she's got another hobby.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Look, painting.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Oh, my goodness. Is that meant to be us?- Oof!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- You look a bit rough, don't you? - Maybe Naz can help.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Oh, no! I fear the wall might be coming down.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52- Shakila?- Oh, hello! Here come the girls.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Hello! Kitty!- How are you?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Fine. Welcome.- Oh, this is nice.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Well, at least that wall's still standing.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Here we go. Tea for two, two for tea.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Woo, look at the apron! - Enjoying the lovely cakes.- Thank you.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09So what do you think of the house, Shakila? Do you think there's enough room for you?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Yeah, and you three too. There's plenty of room.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I think I'd make a few adjustments.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I get the feeling we spoke too soon.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Oh, no.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- Cheers, Shakila.- Cheers. - Hope this is the house for you.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Absolutely, thank you.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26As a test drive, how did it go?
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- I like it, Naz likes it. - Yep.- You guys like it.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- We love it. Everyone loves the wild card.- We do like it.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- And my friends like it. So, yes. - Going to do it, then?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Here it comes. To buy or not to buy, that is the question.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40What do we think she's going to say?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I'm going to buy.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Yes! Well, take that!
0:26:45 > 0:26:48You know someone's got an offer on this at the moment.
