0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Oh, I do love a bit of local produce!- What are you doing?
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- We've got... We're here to make a show.- I know.
0:00:06 > 0:00:11Look, I've had a tip-off that today this pair are going to make a peach of a programme
0:00:11 > 0:00:15- in the Vale of Evesham, otherwise known as the fruit-and-veg basket of England.- Oh, right, OK.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Cherries! I do like a cherry. Have a cherry! There you go.
0:00:29 > 0:00:35- Are we quite done? Can we not get going?- No, I'm still looking for the symbol of the town we're in...
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- the Pershore plum!- When did you become an expert on local produce?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Because, Jonny, one of today's buyers is locally grown,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and they are both keen on growing their own fruit and veg.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Where better to do that than in the glorious Vale of Evesham?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49OK, that all makes sense now! Check this out.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51A recent survey has suggested that
0:00:51 > 0:00:55in a few years' time nearly a third of all households are going to be growing their own fruit and veg.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00- Wow! That's a lot of raised beds! - And a lot of saved money - up to £500 a year, Mr O'Brien!- What?
0:01:01 > 0:01:05- But surely this isn't the only reason we're here? - You're not listening, are you?- No.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- Roots, Jonny, family roots! Shall we meet today's buyers?- Yes.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And here they are, Ian and Sharon Follet.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Now, these two like to live life to the full and regularly make wagers with each other.
0:01:17 > 0:01:23The most significant wager was lost by Ian and resulted in the couple marrying on Christmas Day 2005.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28This happy union proved to be invaluable when Sharon had a routine back operation three years ago
0:01:28 > 0:01:32and awoke paralysed. They have four children between them, and with their support
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Sharon has regained the ability to walk.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Their desire now is to move from their current home in Port Isaac, Cornwall,
0:01:37 > 0:01:42to be near to their loved ones in Pershore where Ian is originally from.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48- Lovely place, Port Isaac.- Yeah. Very hilly.- So you're looking to try and find a...- Flat.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- More level playing field, shall we say?- Yeah.- What we thought was, the location here in Pershore,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56everything's accessible, the High Street's not far away,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00and Sharon can have a bit more independence, she can drive her little buggy there.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- It's a gorgeous town as well, isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- I guess we're looking for somewhere central, then?- Yeah. - Yes, somewhere central...
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- I need shops!- That's going to be easy access...- I need shops! Trust me.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I don't mind if we're not too close to the shops!
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- No, I think right next to the shops! - That would be lovely!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20The other problem Sharon's got, a major disability, is she's a shopaholic.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Ah?- That's brilliant. I like that!
0:02:22 > 0:02:28The only thing to watch out for, I suppose, is the flooding potential of the area...er...
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- It has had problems, hasn't it? - Yeah.- Big, big problems. - OK, worth bearing in mind.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Ian, you're handy, so it doesn't matter if we get a place that needs a bit of work,
0:02:36 > 0:02:41but when all that's said and done, paint the picture of what you would really love.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Just a nice-sized kitchen and bathroom, which I never really thought about.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- But once you're getting in and out... - It's important. What about bedrooms?
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Because you've got a bit of a horde, haven't you...collectively?- Well...
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Well, we're lucky there in a way that we're only bringing one with us,
0:02:59 > 0:03:04cos our girls are here anyway, so they've got their own places. But we would like three bedrooms.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06OK, OK. Anything else, then?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Garden.- Garden? Go on, talk to us. - We like to grow veg.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14And the other thing we would look at is preferably detached if possible, cos I like to make a lot of noise.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- What kind of noise? - I like music, so...
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Do you want a bit of a boy's playroom? Do you want a sort of a workshop area? That kind of thing?
0:03:21 > 0:03:26A decent garage or an outbuilding I can put my lathe in and have a bit of a play as I get older.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- That would be nice. - So...talk to us money, come on.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Top line, we're thinking 300,000.
0:03:34 > 0:03:41If it was a bit of a renovation project, obviously, tease down a bit to allow us a little bit of leeway,
0:03:41 > 0:03:42but that's a pretty strict budget.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Well, OK, I'm fairly confident with that.- Are you? Ready?- Why not? - Shall we?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Pershore, here we come! - See you in a bit.- Bye.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Jonny, I am worried about this. They want a big vegetable patch. There was "a lot meant" by that!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57They're looking for not on a flood plain. That could be an uphill struggle!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00And also they want a property that's kind of modern and full of character! Huh?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Don't you worry about it.- Why?
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Ian is a builder. We can quite literally find him anything under £300,000 and he will sort it for us,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- done!- You sound very "Pershore" about this! Let's get going.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Pershore is neatly nestled in the fruitful Vale of Evesham.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19This pretty market town is renowned for its plums.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25Varieties such as Victoria, Monarch and the Pershore yellow egg plum are always sought after.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27The people of Pershore loves plums so much
0:04:27 > 0:04:31that every August the town throws a festival in honour of this juicy fruit.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35It's also renowned for its magnificent abbey and Georgian buildings.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37The architecture here is so important that parts of the town are listed
0:04:37 > 0:04:41as an outstanding conservation area by the Council of British Archaeology.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46OK, time to find out what plum family homes are on offer in the rest of the UK.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Starting with this beautiful four-bedroomed terraced townhouse in Penzance, Cornwall,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53offering fabulous family living for...
0:04:56 > 0:04:59But if you don't fancy being that close to your neighbours,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03how about this modern four-bed detached house in Stamford, Leicestershire for...
0:05:06 > 0:05:11And for all you city slickers out there what about this modern two double-bedroomed apartment
0:05:11 > 0:05:12in Crouch End, London, for a stylish...
0:05:17 > 0:05:21So whilst Jonny pounds the streets, I'm going to talk flood plains.
0:05:21 > 0:05:27According to the Environment Agency, over 2.5 million properties in England and Wales
0:05:27 > 0:05:29are at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33And, considering the devastation some areas have suffered in recent decades,
0:05:33 > 0:05:37it's no wonder it's an issue we are all becoming increasingly aware of.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39So here are our top tips...
0:05:40 > 0:05:44The Environment Agency have drawn up maps of the areas most at risk.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50If you do your digging, you will find mortgage companies willing to lend
0:05:50 > 0:05:54and insurance companies that will cover properties that have suffered flooding.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Be aware that up and down the country there are flood alleviation projects happening
0:05:59 > 0:06:01to help reduce the risk.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04The scheme in Pershore may not be as impressive as the Thames Barrier,
0:06:04 > 0:06:08but for the nearby residents the peace of mind it will bring will be invaluable.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Well, Jonny, I'm overflowing with information about living on a flood plain,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18and I also have a fabulous house. It's a banker. How have you got on?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21OK, I think I've done pretty well. I'm taking a risk, I'm not going to lie to you.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25I've gone for a semi-detached house. I know they asked for detached because of old Ian's drumming,
0:06:25 > 0:06:30but there is a solution for that. A lovely double garage, nonetheless. I'm going to give you a quick look.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34It's really very, very nicely done indeed. It's spacious, gorgeous garden, everything they're after...
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- property 1.- Property 2! What I've done is I've gone for something they asked for...
0:06:38 > 0:06:42a detached house. It's beautiful. There is one issue which I'm not going to discuss yet.
0:06:42 > 0:06:48I will discuss it with Sharon and Ian. It's fabulous, though. Nothing for our builder to do here.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- The wild card, please. - Well, the wild card today is wild because they've asked for a house,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- so therefore we've gone and given them a bungalow.- But that's not why we chose this as a wild card.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- It's because it's in the best-named place in the whole country possibly. - If you're a six-year-old!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Right, let's get cracking with the grown-up tour at my choice, property 1.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Well, I don't think I could have found a house much closer to town.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13You can almost see the shops from the end of the drive,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16and it's got all the living space they need.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Well, then, here we are. My choice, property 1. It's about location this property.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24I know it's not detached, but it offers so much as a semi-detached house -
0:07:24 > 0:07:29size, space, garage, parking - that I just had to show you it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33And town-centre location. It means in this bustling community here
0:07:33 > 0:07:36that you've got all the access you need to get to the major shops,
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- so before I talk on too long... what do you think?- I like it. - I like the parking space.
0:07:41 > 0:07:48- That's quite handy for a start. And I notice the garage!- Yes!- Yes. - See that?- This style of property?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Love it.- Yeah?
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- I do, yeah.- Yeah? They love it so far.- Well, it's post Second World War, it's got a nice gable end,
0:07:55 > 0:07:59it's been beautifully rendered, you've got a modern garage, you've got block paving
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- and there's so much more inside!- And I can't see any work to do here.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Wait till you get inside! No, I'm only joking. It really is lovely.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- Hurry yourself along. All four feet if you wouldn't mind, Sharon!- That's fine. Thank you.- See you later.
0:08:14 > 0:08:14Oh, wow!
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- That's a nice entrance.- Oh, lovely. - And we're into...
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Oh! The lounge.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- I like that.- Very nice.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Oh, natural fire.- That's gorgeous, isn't it?- I like that.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- I like the fact that can get loads of furniture in.- Yeah. It's wonderful, that.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Oh, that's nice.- Nice dining area. Serving hatch! Saves carrying the food all the way round.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- I like that. - It's a big house, isn't it?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Nice open-plan aspect which is very nice. Makes it very spacious.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48There's nothing much to do. You could actually move in straightaway.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51He almost sounds disappointed. "There's nothing much to do."
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- We can find him something. If not, I'm sure Sharon could.- Absolutely!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Oh, wow!
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- That is definitely...a bonus. We didn't ask for that.- We didn't ask for that. That is a bonus!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Oh, wow! Look at this. You'll like this.- Wow!
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- Yeah, I really like that. I don't know why I'm saying wow, you do all the cooking.- I know, I know.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- This is your area!- I know. Everything's to hand, isn't it?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Isn't it marvellous?- It is really... - And no work to do either.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'm not staying here or you'll get me cooking!
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- Aha! You see? You were being sexist, weren't you?- No!
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Wow! Ian can cook in here. That's what Sharon was thinking about.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- You thought that room was for Sharon, it's for Ian.- I did.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Very nice.- Oh, yeah.- Stick Ryan in this one.- Be ideal for Ryan.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I don't know if he'd like the pink. We'd probably have to change the colour.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43- This would be all right for the grandchildren.- We'll see how many bedrooms there are. Let's see.- Nice.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- The bathroom. Oh, that's nicely decorated.- Oh, yeah.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- I thought that was tiles. I like that.- It's very nice. - Nice colour, it's neutral.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57It is neutral. It's all nicely decorated. We could move in straightaway.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59It's not something you'd have to worry about.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- That's a better colour for Ryan. - Yeah! Yes, I think he'd rather have that colour than the pink!
0:10:05 > 0:10:10- Yeah.- It's a bigger room. - Much nicer size.- Much bigger room.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- There's enough room for his stuff. - What's the view to the garden like?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- It's very nice, isn't it? - Not overlooked.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Please, hurry up with the tour! It's chucking it down out here!
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Oh, lovely! Oh, wow! - This is the bedroom.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- Look, they have definitely picked something really nice.- This is gorgeous.- Lovely. I love the view,
0:10:30 > 0:10:36- I love the decoration. - Love the wardrobes! Really love the wardrobes! Look at that!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Except I'd have to look at myself in the mirror.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42And it's probably not a good thing to do! Good incentive to lose some weight!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I am also a fan of those floor-to-ceiling mirrors.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50- I know you are. So you can look at yourself.- No, for refracting light into the room.- No, no, no!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52That's what I meant. Don't... Ignore it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Lovely, yeah. - Yeah, I really like that. I think the boys have done us really proud.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00They've done us proud. The next big question is they're going to ask us the price, aren't they?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Oh, let us join you out of that weather!- Miserable!
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Can you try and do your house tours a little bit quicker in future?
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- There's two more to go. - It was very dry in here. - I'm sure it was, yes.- We were OK.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16No problem at all.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- You actually commented on this room. - We didn't expect this.- There you go!
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- It is a real bonus, isn't it? - Yeah, this is nice. - Didn't know anything about this.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29- This garden?- It's not as big as we would like, but it's manageable, isn't it?- Yeah.- It's manageable.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Another thing as well. There are quite a lot of allotments
0:11:32 > 0:11:36in the area, as you would expect. There's a lot of gardeners around.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Your budget was 300,000 absolutely maximum.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- You first, please, Sharon.- Near the top end, so I'm going to go...
0:11:45 > 0:11:49289,950.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54- OK. Interesting.- Yeah.- That's pretty close. I was going to go just a little bit nearer the target.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59- I was going to go 295. - Ready for this? Asking price for this property as of today...
0:11:59 > 0:12:00£220,000!
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Really?- That's good.- Wow!
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Now, that is an incredible price, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- That's shocked me, that really has shocked me. - £80,000 beneath your budget.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- I mean, just think what you could do with that surplus budget.- Yeah.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16You're in Pershore, Jonny's found you a plum property.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21- Can I beat it? There's only one way to find out, isn't there?- You've got a big job!- Let's get to it!
0:12:24 > 0:12:30Now, I actually listened to Sharon and Ian and found them a lovely detached house,
0:12:30 > 0:12:36fabulously modernised and four bedrooms. My property-hunting skills have surely peaked here!
0:12:36 > 0:12:41OK, property 2 today. The rain has stopped, the sun is breaking through the clouds.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- What are you thinking? First impressions.- Very nice.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- It is very nice.- Ian, you're very quiet down the end there.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I just felt cos there's a slope, I'm just concerned whether Sharon can cope with it,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- but, for me, I love it.- Yeah? Even though it's got a paved drive?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Gaping glass window where...?- No garage, that's the problem, yeah.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- You better get yourselves inside. Enjoy the tour, if you can get up the hill.- Yeah, yeah.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Oh, straight into the lounge! Didn't expect that.- That's nice.
0:13:12 > 0:13:19- It is nice, though. - I like the fireplace.- Oh, yeah. Wow! That is really, really nice.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- I like that. I wasn't expecting that at all.- I wasn't expecting that straightaway.- No.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Oh!- Dining room.- Yeah, I like this. - Wonderful.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30And it goes on through, you know. That's really nice. Let's go and have a look through there.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- Yeah, it does look.- Oh! There's a surprise.- Oh, yeah, look at that.
0:13:34 > 0:13:41- Really nice. Lovely. - That's something to think about. - It is lovely, isn't it?- I like that.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46It really is great. It's spacious, it's open, it's naturally light, it's really inviting,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- it's probably the feature of the house.- It's exactly how you turn a 20th-century house
0:13:49 > 0:13:51into a 21st-century living space.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- Oh, I love this. - Oh, this is nice, isn't it?
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- At the breakfast bar which is going to be really...- Oh, yeah!
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- So while I'm cooking here and you're relaxing there, watching TV, we can still talk.- And shout the orders!
0:14:05 > 0:14:10I like that! So Ian will be there, toiling away, and the orders barked at him from Sharon...
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- Having said that, he's not doing any building work so he's got plenty of time for cooking.- This is true.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Right...
0:14:16 > 0:14:22- Ooh...- Well, that's a nice, little room. It's boy colour as well already.- Small.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- It is small, but it all fits in well.- Yeah, everything fits in here.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Bathroom.- That's nice. - That's nice, all tiled up there.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- That's lovely.- Nice shower, built-in.- A shower, yeah. - I like the natural wood again.
0:14:34 > 0:14:40Yeah, there's lot of natural wood again. Needs no painting. Another job not for me! Love it!
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Forgive me for saying, Jonny, but there's just something brighter about property 2.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49What, the big burning ball of gas in the sky? Yeah, no doubt!
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Oh, wow! I think I've had too many wows in this one!
0:14:53 > 0:14:56That's good. That's much bigger than I thought it was going to be.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59This is huge. I'm going to be nosy. What have we got in here?
0:14:59 > 0:15:04- An en-suite as well!- With shower. - Sport, sport!- Wow, that is lovely.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Definitely... - I think Simon's excelled himself.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- He'll be sort of cheering out there. - Yeah!
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Found the en-suite, then?- Hmm.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Oh, I've locked the door!
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- Oh, that is so nice!- Isn't that beautiful?- Are you going to go down there and call to me?
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- I'd love that.- You want me to go down there and sing?- Yeah.- Maybe later. - All right.- Maybe later.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Simon, Simon, wherefore art you, Simon? Deny thy father and refuse thy name!
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Oh, there you are!- I'm here! I want to know where they are!
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Wherefore art thou, Sharon and Ian? - Where did you come from?
0:15:40 > 0:15:41The pink room!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- It's a big room, though. - It's still quite a size, isn't it?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48That's three bedrooms so far and there's still another door to go.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Oh, it's done as a study. That's nice.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- You could have a small bedroom, but we don't need it.- No. - So this for a study would be...
0:15:57 > 0:16:01It's ideal for what they're using it for now with the computer and the mini office.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05This is one of those properties, it's going to go full circle - they're going to like it so much,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07they'll end up hating it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12It's like you. You like me so much, you pretend to hate me but really... superlikes me.
0:16:12 > 0:16:19- No, no, no. It started as hate and just went all the way round back to hate.- To love?- No.- No...
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I guess when we first approached this house, you thought,
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- "It's on a hill, why are we here?" But having looked round, I think you know why we're here.- Yeah.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- I can see why you picked it. - The house is super.- Yeah. - It's a beautiful house, yeah.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37And I accept that it does have for you certain issues which would need fixing.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41It's a bit of juggling act to know. We were saying before
0:16:41 > 0:16:45when we looked out the windows. The views are gorgeous, the house is gorgeous...
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Unfortunately, it's on a hill. Unfortunately, the garden's in tiers.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Right, guess the price time, then.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57- 300 grand's your max. This is a big detached beast with beautiful views. - It is...
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I'm going to stick with the same price I went the last one, 295.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- 295.- Mmm. - OK, I'll stick with my 289...950.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- That's exactly what you said, 289,950!- Yeah.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11It's 2-0 to you!
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Wow! You've lost!- Ian, you're only playing for pride from now on!
0:17:14 > 0:17:18It's on the market for 279 on the money.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- That is good.- That's good.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Four bedrooms, detached... - The house is ideal.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27All right, listen, two very different houses now we've shown you. Plenty to think about, yeah?
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Too much.- Yes.- Oh, no, it isn't! - My brain's gone into overload.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- It's not too much, is it, Jonny? - No, because there's one more to go. You ready for it?
0:17:34 > 0:17:39- Yes.- It's the wild card. It's this way.- Down those steps there. Come on, my darling.
0:17:42 > 0:17:48Now, nobody mentioned a bungalow, we hear you say, but this stylish bungalow has such a great layout
0:17:48 > 0:17:52on a huge plot, we're hoping they'll be pleasantly surprised.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56OK, here we are at the wild card, the third and final property of today.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Now, I want to get your feedback on this one quite early,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01because this is a bit of a radical move compared to the other two we've shown you,
0:18:01 > 0:18:06but not too dissimilar to what you currently live in. What do you think? First impressions?
0:18:06 > 0:18:13- Really, really nice.- It's big.- Yeah? - It's huge. I just can't wait to see the back cos it's massive.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Never mind that! Let's talk location first. Cos we're in the lovely village of...
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- ..Wyre Piddle. I'm sorry.- Honestly! - It just makes me laugh. What a great name.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Wyre Piddle. Beautiful little village, but a bit of a distance from Pershore.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33However I have done some research. I hope the local isn't going to get me here
0:18:33 > 0:18:38but there are bus services into Pershore on a regular basis, every hour.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41The other reason we chose this place is it does represent fantastic value for money.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Being a bungalow, single-storey property
0:18:43 > 0:18:46and having all your accommodation on one floor means the plots are bigger.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- So allotment potential, growing fruit and veg potential... - Sounds good.- ..Is viable here.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Sounds good. Can't wait to see the back.- You haven't seen the inside yet.- That's true.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Get yourselves in there. Enjoy it. We'll be listening in.- Thank you. - See you later on.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Oh! I don't want to give them another wow!
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- I can't.- You said no more wows, but I'm afraid you've got to give it one by the looks of it.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Look at the size of it, the space!
0:19:11 > 0:19:16How many boxes have you ticked so far in this one? Oh, that's amazing!
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- I love the size.- So you might be changing your mind on the bungalow? - Yeah.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Well, that's an interesting question Ian asks.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Because there is this misconception about bungalows
0:19:25 > 0:19:27that they're a bit olde worlde and fuddy-duddy which is unfair,
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- because they can be very modern and very contemporary like this. - I thought you were talking about me!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33No, I said modern and contemporary!
0:19:36 > 0:19:39This is just...
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- gorgeous!- I don't know what to say!
0:19:42 > 0:19:43No.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- I can't...I can't even do my wows! - It's fantastic, isn't it?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I am just stunned.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- We're not going to get one. Shall we do it for her?- Go on, then.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Wow!- Wow!
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Oh, I love this!
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- The fact I've got somewhere to sit while you're cooking.- Yeah, yeah. I could sit here for breakfast.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07I can visualise it now with the bacon and eggs I've just cooked for myself!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And you with your corn flakes.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13There we go, these are good buying sounds.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16If they can visualise themselves actually doing mundane activities
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- like preparing bacon and eggs... - I'm getting hungry now!
0:20:18 > 0:20:24- Oh! I've got to give them another wow!- I can feel another wow coming on! Look at this!
0:20:24 > 0:20:30- Oh, I love this!- It's fantastic! - This is just exceptionally... - I've found my place!
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I'm happy!
0:20:32 > 0:20:37- I can chill out in here!- No, oh, no! Yours is the kitchen, this is mine!
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- You know why things grow so well round here, don't you, Jonny? - The dynamic weather?- I think it is!
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Is this the master, then?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47You wouldn't know, would you?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- But it is a lovely size. - It's a good size, isn't it?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Loads of space.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- It's another double.- You've still got a double here, yeah.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- This is still really nice. - It's still a good size.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Oh, this must be the master bedroom.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Somebody's stolen the bed at the moment, but loads of space. Loads of space.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13And I think there's an en-suite.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Oh, yeah, en-suite as you say. Shower...- That's ideal, isn't it?
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- I love that.- Yeah. That's just what every master bedroom needs, isn't it?
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- You see? I told you this would be the best wild card!- Why?- You see?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27The one you wanted...
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Oh, yeah. Brilliant. Don't listen to him. I chose this one. This is nothing to do with him.
0:21:33 > 0:21:40We have a bathroom! This is nicely decorated, isn't it? And a Jacuzzi bath!
0:21:40 > 0:21:42And a shower as well.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45So there'll be no fighting for showers and baths, will there?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- I love this.- That's ideal.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52- It's perfect, isn't it? - It all comes down to...- It's all down what it's going to cost now.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53That's the next thing, guess the price.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Well, a tip of the hat to daytime TV's finest house hunters!
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- The wild card's excellent, isn't it? - Super. We didn't want a bungalow,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- but it's got an upstairs/downstairs. - It has, yeah.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Because you go in and it's two separate parts of the property.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Completely agree. Because sometimes you walk in a bungalow
0:22:14 > 0:22:17and there's the living room and there's the first bedroom, which can be disconcerting,
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- but not the case here.- They're totally separate. Left for living, right for sleeping.- The garden?
0:22:21 > 0:22:27- How is this garden for you? - Oh, well, look - space.- It's lovely. - Space everywhere.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- It's going well, but that might all change, mightn't it?- Yes. - OK, guess-the-price time.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- It's 2-0 to you.- Of course.- Yes.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- Your budget £300,000. Go on. - I think you've gone over budget.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40So I am going to say...
0:22:41 > 0:22:42..310.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44310,000, OK.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Ian?
0:22:46 > 0:22:52- I'm going to go smack on the money. 300,000.- OK. Well, you've got some pride. Well done. Come on.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57- There you go. But there's a little bit of change, only a little bit. - Mmm?- 299,000.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02- On the nose.- I saved face. - He did well.- I saved face.
0:23:02 > 0:23:09- What do you think, Sharon?- I love it. I really love it.- You really do love it, don't you?- Yeah, I do.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- We actually might need a handkerchief in a moment.- Yeah!
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Aw!
0:23:14 > 0:23:16That's so lovely.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- We're going to go through the motions, we better had, hadn't we? - Yeah, we've got to.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23We're made to. We have to do this.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28- You've now seen three very different properties...- Yeah.- Hmm...
0:23:28 > 0:23:31two in Pershore, one out here in Wyre Piddle... I won't giggle, I won't giggle!
0:23:31 > 0:23:35So take yourselves off and decide which one you would like to spend a bit more time in.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- OK.- We'll see you in a moment. - Thank you.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Well, there we go, three very different properties indeed.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44So while they're off making that decision, here is a reminder for you at home.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49So will they go for my property? Surely the most convenient choice for Sharon
0:23:49 > 0:23:50to fulfil her shopaholic tendencies.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Or will they choose my modern detached house?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58A bit further away from the shops to give Ian's credit card a break!
0:23:58 > 0:24:01The price won't, though!
0:24:01 > 0:24:05All joking aside, Sharon did seem most enamoured with the wild card,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07which was furthest from the shops.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11So... which one will they "plum-p" for?
0:24:14 > 0:24:19Well, let's be honest! It's no surprise - they've chosen the wild card.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24And it's not long before the family arrive. Who do we have here, then?
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Well, this would be one of her daughters with her children and Mum.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Excellent! And it's straight into Sharon's favourite room.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Who knows? If all goes to plan, they could be growing their own strawberries in this very house!
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Right, who wants strawberries?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Me! Me!
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Well, they seem to be going down a treat but what do people think of the bungalow?
0:24:54 > 0:24:59It's absolutely gorgeous! It's lovely!
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Now they're all fuelled up, it's time for a kickabout!
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Once more the adage is proved, everyone loves the wild card!- Yeah.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19- And how can you not?- So, come on, you've spent a bit more time here.
0:25:19 > 0:25:25- Yeah? You've had family round. What are you thinking? You enjoying it still?- Still enjoying it!
0:25:25 > 0:25:27You've really, really put the cat amongst the pigeons.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32We've just... We've lost the plot completely.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- You've thrown everything into the mix and we don't know where to go! - Right...
0:25:35 > 0:25:40- OK... Oh, oh... Sorry... Very importantly, what did the grandchildren think?- They loved it.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- They loved the garden.- That's all you want, isn't it? A lovely private space like that.- Yeah.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48The kids can come in, open the back door,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50not kick them out literally, obviously...
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- and know they're safe and secure. And you haven't got to worry about it.- It's all fully enclosed.
0:25:54 > 0:26:02- It's lovely.- OK, right, is this a to buy or not to buy?- Well, we're going to go away, have a deeper think,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- get the buggy, see whether we can use the shortcut with the buggy... - Of course.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11Then we'll be in a position to make a decision, I think. At the moment it's a maybe.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- It's a maybe on that one.- It's a maybe.- It's a really good maybe!
0:26:15 > 0:26:21Assuming... Because I know that you love this place... Assuming that you can off-road to Pershore and back
0:26:21 > 0:26:27- in the buggy, what would it be then? - Oh, a yeah.- It would be, wouldn't it? I thought so.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31That's fair enough. You do have real practical considerations that you have to take into account.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- For me.- Absolutely.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Well, all in all, we've had a fabulous day. Hope you've enjoyed it too.- Yes, we have.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Indeed. Thank you very much for all your advice.- You've been great!
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Get yourselves back in there, have another look round this place, take advantage while you're here,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- maybe that will make your mind up. All right, guys?- Thank you.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Enjoy that gorgeous fruit in there. It's lovely.
