0:00:02 > 0:00:03I want to live here.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Up and down the country, super rich teens and twenty-somethings
0:00:06 > 0:00:09are snapping up the hottest properties money can buy.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14- This is where the mistress would be. - You could hide your lover in here when your husband gets home.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17How To Be A Property Millionaire - I like to read that.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Unless you've got a trust fund, or being bankrolled by mum and dad.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Some people work all their life to become a millionaire,
0:00:24 > 0:00:25I just adopted it.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31The average first time buyer now reaches a whopping 38 years old.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- 38?! Bloody hell!- You're joking. You're practically your dad.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41As Britain's youth are in danger of becoming a generation who can't afford to buy their own homes,
0:00:42 > 0:00:47this series follows some of the UK's most affluent young people.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48I don't care about the money.
0:00:48 > 0:00:5280 bottles of Dom Perignon, a few bottles of Cristal - standard weekend, really.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'll make 100 times as much in 10 years.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58As they hunt for their perfect pads...
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Yeah, this is a bit amazing.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Oh, I love this.- Oh, my god.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04And there's a walk-in wardrobe!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07..and go on a serious spending spree.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10That's the sort of theme I want to be going for, cos £700 is a good bargain.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12It's going to be extortionate.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14This one is 420,000.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16799,950.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18On the market for about 2.25 million.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21There is no doubt in my mind, I've become obsessed with property.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Have we got it?- Yeah!- Thank God!
0:01:26 > 0:01:30In tonight's show, a 17 and 18-year-old brother and sister
0:01:30 > 0:01:32with a £600,000 cash budget.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Ideally, we'll buy it tomorrow. That'd be perfect. You go to school, we have a house,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I go to Thailand, we have a house. Go skiing, have a house.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45A 25-year-old WAG after the ultimate wardrobe.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48This is clearly all of mine,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50and this would be Stephen's.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55And a 19-year-old cash buyer wants to splash 400 grand
0:01:55 > 0:01:57on something as eccentric as he is.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- It was a- BLEEP- cave.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Say bonjour to Gai.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Hello, I'm Gai. I'm 19.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I'm looking for a house to buy.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21I'm looking at places around 350 or £400,000.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Originally from France, Gai flew the nest four months ago
0:02:26 > 0:02:28and landed in London to go to uni.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I don't know why I'm in the UK, I just decided to go study somewhere.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36I suppose London was first on my priority list.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Gai prides himself on his impulsivity.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46And his latest urge is to buy a place in London's fashionable Notting Hill,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48which suits his unconventional taste.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53I'm looking for an old property with high ceilings, big windows,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56as much wood as possible inside.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59He has a cash budget of £400,000,
0:02:59 > 0:03:03but at 19, having so much money brings mixed feelings.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07You don't just get things by doing nothing.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08What have I done?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- I haven't done- BLEEP. - I've inherited money from my father.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Property could be a way for Gai to look after his fortune.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Anyone who has a bit of money obviously wants to do good stuff with it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Eventually, if possible, make it grow.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27His challenge is to find a property that's both a sensible investment,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29while being as eccentric as he is.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38Gai isn't the only teenager who has hundreds of thousands of pounds inheritance.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Hello, I'm Amelia. I'm 18.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- Hello, I'm Henry and I'm 17 and I'm looking to buy a property with my sister.- With me.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I've got 600,000 to spend.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- You haven't, we've got 600,000 to spend.- We're chipping in together.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57But this pair know nothing about property...
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Let's have a look.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59..yet.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01We used to look at doll's houses together,
0:04:01 > 0:04:06when we were really little, when we were, like, five and six. Cut that!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08SHE LAUGHS
0:04:08 > 0:04:12This is like shopping, but, like, major shopping.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15What they lack in experience, they make up for in funds.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Perfect. We're putting 300,000 in each.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23Yeah, it's like, inheritance, which I'm really lucky for.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27We don't want to go into any mortgage or loans or anything like that,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29or ask parents for money or anything like that.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32So we just want to be safe. Get, like, on the property ladder
0:04:32 > 0:04:35while we're young and it's really exciting.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36W-o-o-o-o!
0:04:36 > 0:04:42At 17, Henry spends most of his time either at boarding school or playing in a band.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45So it's up to 18-year-old Amelia to find them their perfect pad.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Location is everything
0:04:48 > 0:04:52and the new home has to be in West London's exclusive Chelsea.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- It's the centre of the world. - Yeah, exactly.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58You can literally just get a tube to King's Cross, St Pancreas and Eurostar.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Exactly.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Like, to go to Mumbai. - Yeah, I'm going to Mumbai.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07The pair have just seven weeks to buy a flat before Amelia goes travelling.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I'm on my gap year.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13When I get back from travelling it'd be really nice to have, sort of, my own flat
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and get out into the real world.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I think we're going to go out there and look for a bargain. So, bargain hunt.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Meet Jess. - My name is Jessica Lawlor.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28I'm 25 years old and the budget that I'm working with
0:05:28 > 0:05:31is between one and two million.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Jess is the girlfriend of Premiership footballer Stephen Ireland.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42She's spent the last two years perfecting their £4 million Cheshire mansion.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I love the house.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Every room, I feel, has the wow factor.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49We had real fun with the kid's rooms.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51We've got a little wardrobe in here.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53That's one lucky four-year-old.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57As well as wardrobes the same size as most people's bedrooms...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59So, this is my dressing room.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03..Jess thinks that individual bathrooms are a must.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05So, this is my bathroom.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10You know, I don't use it that much because it just takes so long to, obviously, fill.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Quite a big bath.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14But she hasn't always lived in a palace.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20The first time I was ever in a house like this was when we started going house hunting.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28You know, we're working class background, that's where we came from and that's us.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31And now, obviously, you know, it's great to have this.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36It's good to be able to make the comparison cos you have to feel that you appreciate it more.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42One of the downsides of dating a Premiership footballer is the nomadic lifestyle.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Stephen's recent transfer to Aston Villa means Jess now has to find another home in Birmingham.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55We're really family orientated, so it's important that home is perfect.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Never knowing when you'll be uprooted next is a dilemma her fellow WAGS sympathise with.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It's a massive upheaval for the whole family.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06You've got to find somewhere that you could potentially sell on,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08but you have to make sure it's a home as well.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14I don't think we're going to find anything like this in Birmingham for the budget that we'll be using.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Jess ONLY has two million to spend,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22just half the value of her current house.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30It's the first day of Jess's house hunt and she's drafted her mum, Maureen, in to help.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- That's really country.- There's some really nice villages in Lichfield,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36and it's not that far from the training ground.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38No, that's where it is.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I used to live in Birmingham. That's where she wants to move,
0:07:41 > 0:07:42so I'm sort of giving her advice
0:07:42 > 0:07:45and to, kind of, know what to look for in a house.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Mum and daughter's house experiences are worlds apart.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53My first house was 37,000.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56That's absolutely nothing now, is it?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59It seems nothing now, but then, it was an awful lot of money.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05What Maureen spent on her first house, Stephen Ireland earns in less than seven days,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09with a weekly salary of around £50,000.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11She's going to have so much more choice,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13obviously she has a different budget to what...
0:08:13 > 0:08:16obviously what we had and probably many other people have,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19so she'll be able to have that advantage.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22She might have a high budget, but Jess also has high standards,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25and as she drives up to this eight bedroom,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27£2.9 million house, she spots a problem.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Other people live on the street.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Hi, Bob. Hi, Mary.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36It'll be weird. I'm not used to having neighbours.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41No self-respecting WAG wants to be overlooked or within the sights of the paparazzi.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Hmmm, it's OK.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Stephen would love this house.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- What would Stephen think to this? - Excellent.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It's wonderful, isn't it?
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Oh.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It's massive.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- So, this is a shared wardrobe, yeah? - Yeah.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00This is clearly all of mine,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and this would be Stephen's.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06To me, this is actually, my God, this is a really big wardrobe for me.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08And it is to me, too. What do you think I am?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10The Queen or something overnight?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I mean, obviously when I used to live at home,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15my wardrobe was, like, that size.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18What this house lacks in wardrobe space,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20it makes up for in other areas.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Oh, that's gorgeous. The bath is lovely.- Isn't it?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I've never seen so many bathrooms in my whole life in a house.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- How many bathrooms have you got? - Um, nothing compared to this.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Well, wait a minute, you've got nearly seven, Jessica.- I don't.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35You do.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- You've got two upstairs, and then you have...- Yeah, cos...
0:09:38 > 0:09:40..the kids have got one each, so that's five.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Feel like we're sharing a bathroom compared to this house.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47With more bathrooms than Jess could ever need,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49this house could be perfect.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I keep looking out that window
0:09:51 > 0:09:54and the only thing that puts me off is out the front.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56That's so open.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Do you know what I mean?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Teenager Amelia's never bought a house before,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12so she's asked for advice from an expert.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I walked past the estate agent a few times,
0:10:15 > 0:10:16took a deep breath,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19went in the door and said "Please may I buy a house?"
0:10:19 > 0:10:20and they said,
0:10:20 > 0:10:24"OK, you know, she's new. Obviously never done this before."
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Amelia's 600 grand budget
0:10:27 > 0:10:29doesn't get you much in Kensington and Chelsea,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32where the average property costs 1.3 million.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42So, the agents arrange for her to see a flat in the much cheaper neighbouring Hammersmith.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45It'll be quite exciting. I do like new things.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Amelia's never considered living so far away from her beloved Chelsea.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I'd love to be down there, that we passed.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56But, now we're going a bit...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58We'll see. We'll see.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Oh, this is nice.- Yeah.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06No, this is, it's very nice but,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08it's just a shame it's in Hammersmith.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I mean obviously Sloane Square and Chelsea,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14and just off the King's Road are one of the most expensive in London.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17A lot of people do come to Parson's Green and around Fulham,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19just cos you get more for your money.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- Let's move the house. - Plonk it somewhere in Chelsea.- Yeah.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I don't want to live anywhere else.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I wouldn't want to live this far out.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33It's like, I might as well live in Bristol.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Yeah! Rock star.
0:11:37 > 0:11:43Unconventional Gai has 400 grand cash to spend on a new home.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46He and uni friend, Ari, are viewing a flat in London's Notting Hill.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I think this street is BLEEP cool.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53The buildings are quite high and it's only got three floors,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56so every floor is, like, really high.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59It's got really high ceilings and windows. Right now, I feel in London.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03And for Gai, a home should reflect your individuality.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Loads of people who buy old... re-do all these flats, just make...
0:12:07 > 0:12:11and it's, like, mass production - they all look the same, they've got the same furniture.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15White walls. Why white walls? Why should walls be white? You know?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Hi, nice to meet you. - Hi Frances, how are you?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- And you are?- Ari. - Hi, Ari. Nice to meet you.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Right, this is the building, OK?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25And the flat we're going to look at is in the lower ground floor.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Is it the basement? OK. - It's the basement, yeah.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- And so it's a one bedroom? - One bedroom flat, yeah. It's quite a low ceiling height.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- The bathroom's quite modern.- Yeah.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41And then there's a storage cupboard there.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Then you've got here - this is your living room.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47It's tough to big up a cramped, one bed flat with no daylight.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50And then you've got here - open-plan kitchen.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Especially when it's priced at 420,000.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54So, you don't get a lot of sun.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57- Nope?- OK?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01It was a BLEEP cave.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04It was funny the way you said, "I want wooden floors and..."
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Yeah, wooden floors, high ceilings
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and big windows, bay windows.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10No windows, no ceilings, no floors. Nothing.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Welcome to London, Gai,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17where property prices are 75 per cent higher than the rest of the country.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26In Birmingham, you should get more of a bargain.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29But with a budget of up to 2 million,
0:13:29 > 0:13:3225-year-old Jess can afford to be fussy.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37And you've got the formal drawing room in here.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Right, OK.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- But you could still put big, modern sofas in here and then... - Yeah, definitely...
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- ..start with your own. - ..have to do that.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- I bet their furniture is worth a fortune. It's all antique, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- I feel like I'm in a museum. - Like stepping back in time.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00It's definitely the wild card, but knowing Jess's penchant for bathrooms,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03the en-suites might just bring her round.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Oh, my goodness! It's like...
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- I have never, ever seen such a mix match...- No, never.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- ..in my life!- No.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16It's the bathroom is unbelievably modern
0:14:16 > 0:14:19and then it's like they forgot about the rest of the house.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23You get a shock when you come in here, don't you?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I have never, ever seen a house like that before.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- I think, you know, good to see it. Do you know?- OK, right.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31You remember that programme,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Through The Keyhole, who lives in a house like this?- Yeah.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37The last people on the list of who lives in...
0:14:37 > 0:14:40if that was our house, would be me and Stephen, that they'd pick.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49Despite having £400,000 to spend on a new home, Gai's been renting a small bedsit
0:14:49 > 0:14:53and Ari is about to see it for the first time.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I took this flat because I didn't have, really,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59anywhere to stay and I had to find a flat
0:14:59 > 0:15:01before starting school.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I just want to put mirrors and clocks all over.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Makes it a bit spooky.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Paint the walls black.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- You can't have your living room in black.- I can.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13If the state of your home reflects the state of your mind,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Ari is worried about his friend.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Lives every day like it was the last.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Messing about and just, like, smoking cigarettes after cigarettes,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23finishing his red wine.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26He lives in chaos.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Gai's life might be in disarray,
0:15:28 > 0:15:32but he's been comforting himself by buying antique furniture.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37Oh, I actually got some, if you look through it. Look in my eyes.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38How big do they look to you?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- How cool is that? - I think this flat is too small for this kind of furniture.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48If you're staying in London I would highly recommend that he moves out of here.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52It's just terrible. Nothing makes sense in this flat.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- I don't want things to make sense. - No, but if you just know that...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Follow my... - ..it's about really bad taste.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59..follow my own penchant.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01This flat makes sense in a bad way.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06In a way that you don't want a flat to make sense, or not make sense.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07That made sense.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15So far, Jess's hunt for a new home in Birmingham has proved unsuccessful.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Do you want to have a look at the views from the back?- Yeah.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24She's now viewing a £1.7 million mansion that used to belong to another footballer.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Fingers crossed, this is the one.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33So would you consider an older house and then refurbish it inside?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Eventually, maybe. But not now.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38We could end up moving again in a year. It's so unpredictable.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- You're looking for something that's...- Ready.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- ..that you can literally move into. - Yeah. Um, yeah.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- After you.- Thank you.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- I'll let you go into the master bedroom first... - Ah, the master bedroom.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53..cos it's so wow.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- It's like a round room, isn't it? - Semi-round room.- Whoa!
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- It's weird in here, isn't it? - Isn't it great?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03I don't think you can help but be drawn to the views.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Oh, my God, is that a riding pen?
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Yeah, they've got stables, a menage and a paddock.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14You feel like you need to get horses to live here, cos what else are you going to do with it?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17There's lots of riding opportunities here,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19which is why these people kept horses.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Jess hasn't ridden a horse since she was eight.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- OK?- OK. Come on, then. - Just not for me.- Yeah.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- The whole house is just based around horses.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33I'd be embarrassed bringing people and they're like, "What's that over there?"
0:17:33 > 0:17:37and it's like, "Oh, well, stables, a pen, a walkway for the horses"
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- and they're like "Where's your horses?"- Yeah.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Amelia is under pressure.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49There's only five weeks left to find a flat before she goes travelling.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55She's been told it's almost impossible to find a two bedroom flat in Chelsea
0:17:55 > 0:17:57within her 600 grand budget.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I'm just really excited. Why? Because it's off the King's Road.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- That's all she cares about.- Yeah.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- She won't move anywhere other than the King's Road.- Yeah.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10But this 18-year-old seems to have come up trumps
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and has arranged a viewing with her brother for exactly that.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- It's nice, isn't it? - Yeah. No, it's lovely.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19They've got the lighting just right.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Yeah, they've got the atmosphere. - It is really good.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27No, it's great. Like, I love all the trimmings.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28THEY LAUGH
0:18:28 > 0:18:31This is everything Amelia has dreamt of.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Two bedrooms, period property, just off the King's Road, and all within budget.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39And this is bedroom two.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41There must be a catch.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Yeah, this room is...
0:18:45 > 0:18:46quite small.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Ever the optimists, these teenage house hunters won't let a small thing like space
0:18:52 > 0:18:55get in the way of their dream location.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- OK, I'd have this as, like, a sofa. Like, the room is a sofa. - The room as a sofa.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01So everyone can just sit on the sofa.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- You could eat...no, you couldn't. - What?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- I was going to have a table in here, but you couldn't...- Dining room!
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Luckily for Henry, he's still at boarding school,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11otherwise this would be his bedroom.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- How much is it?- It's about six.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Is it 595?- Six what?- 600,000.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Cool.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- So, what do you think to that? - I love it.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26That went really well. I think I'm going to put in an offer.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28It's pretty perfect. What I thought it would be.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35After the disappointment of the previous cramped property,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Gai's still on the hunt for a home as eccentric as he is.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Welcome to the Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51where a unique flat has come onto the market for 385,000.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56And Gai is being shown around by the proud owner.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01DOOR CREAKS
0:20:04 > 0:20:09- It's quite large, but it's full of furniture at the moment, as you can see.- Yeah.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11PARROT CAWS
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Hello.- He's talking to me.- Hello.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Him and I understand each other.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22It was used as an asylum, apparently, as well, was it?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Um, it was built as an orphanage for the daughters
0:20:25 > 0:20:28of the soldiers who died during the Crimean War.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Oh, OK.- Yeah, it wasn't... It didn't have any...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34mental patients.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50This is the secret panel with the fake books to hide the bathroom.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57It's probably haunted.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- It's very quiet. - No ghosts?- No ghost.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Do you want a ghost?- Yes.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Well, then, you know, I think there is one in the cellar.
0:21:14 > 0:21:20But it seems there are limits to the level of madness that even Gai is willing to embrace.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- I'll be in touch.- Thanks, bye. - Thank you. Bye. Sorry, take care.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27It makes no sense.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30An asylum flat with asylum people.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33BIRDS CAW
0:21:33 > 0:21:35With asylum birds everywhere.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Yesterday, Amelia put an offer on her dream home,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45but she's hit an obstacle.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Yeah, I had a huge argument with Daddy last night.
0:21:48 > 0:21:54Because it's a basement flat he said that they'd just put a lick of paint over the walls to hide everything.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Oh, really? - They're a nuisance for damp.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Amelia's running out of time before she goes travelling.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05She's pinning her hopes on a period property just a five minute cab ride from the King's Road.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Although it has a garden, on ground level.- That's cool.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- If it's basement.- Let's hope it's not.- Let's hope it's not.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Please don't be a basement.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Hello. Fine, thank you. - Right, we are down here.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Ah, not another basement flat.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Oh.- Sorry.- Thank you.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31It's exactly what they dreaded.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34But after a lifetime of good breeding,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Henry and Amelia are far too polite to hurt anyone's feelings.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- It's a double bedroom... - That's nice.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44..with built-in storage on the left hand side.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I like the decoration.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Yeah.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Bathroom.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I like this.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Mm.- It's all... It's lit up and...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Kitchen.- Kitchen.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- It's small, but... - Yeah, I know, but then...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Yeah, definitely.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- It's really stylish.- It's got a bit of charm, a bit of character.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- It's very French.- Very... - Very Parisian.- ..chic.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Daddy told me last night not to buy a basement flat.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Go to see a flat, it's a basement flat, really nice,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15but ultimately it is a basement flat.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I'd love to find it before I go travelling.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Ideally, we'll buy it tomorrow. - Yeah.- That'd be perfect.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Then you go to school, we have a house. I go to Thailand, we have a house.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Go skiing, have a house.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30I want to go on the internet right now cos this is getting stressful,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34and then when I go see it I'll just buy the first one I see. Fab.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Amelia is a woman on a mission.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41If she's going to buy a flat in three weeks, she's got a lot of work to do.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45I'm looking for a two bedroom flat in Pimlico,
0:23:45 > 0:23:46not lower basement.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Is it SW1V?
0:23:49 > 0:23:53It has to be SW1V, not P, cos as close to Sloane Square as possible.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58I've looked round a few, but they were basements and I'm not allowed basements.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00So, what's going on here?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03They're all really excited to have me as their customer,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05so they've all taken my details.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09OK, bye. Bye. I almost said lots of love.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I've never been asked my number so many times in a day.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Meanwhile, Gai has received some bad news,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21which makes his house hunt all the more urgent.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I got evicted.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I left a pan on the gas.
0:24:26 > 0:24:32After hearing the fire alarm going off like five or six times, I didn't realise it was mine.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Smoke was getting out under the door and the whole building was full of smoke.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40After almost setting fire to the entire building,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Gai has been given just two weeks to find a new home.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47They just don't want me to set the building on fire,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50which probably makes sense and so...
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Back up in Cheshire and Jess has also had some shocking news.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Stephen is no longer, you know, down in Birmingham
0:25:01 > 0:25:04because he's moved clubs from Villa to Newcastle United.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07That's just literally changed plans for everything.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10There's no point having a property in Birmingham cos we won't be there.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14I'm in Manchester at the moment, Stephen's in Newcastle, we were in Birmingham,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17it's split between three different cities,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19so just have to wait till the summer.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I'm kind of glad, in the end, right now, that we hadn't just,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25you know, rushed into it and literally bought a house,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29cos we would have been stuck with a house and not even living there.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38In London's Notting Hill, Gai's on the move.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Last week, the 19-year-old French student with a £400,000 cash budget,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49was forced to find a new home after being evicted.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Just moved everything that was at my place. I'm going to the flat now.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58But it could be a blessing in disguise as he's moving from this...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Wow!
0:26:02 > 0:26:05..to something far worthier of his antique furniture.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07What do you think?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08I think it's nice.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13In a rush to get a roof over his head, he's ended up with another rental.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- 1,300 a month.- Per person?- Oh, yeah.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20It turns out, that for all his talk of dark interiors,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24these white walls are putting a smile on the 19-year-old's face.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I'm very happy to have moved in here.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Not sure I wanted to buy
0:26:29 > 0:26:32anything at all in London, at the moment.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Now isn't the time to buy. Definitely not.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Finally, Gai has found his home in London.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Since I moved here, it has changed my mood quite drastically.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47For the past two months, he was sleeping all day
0:26:47 > 0:26:50and he was not really coming to university,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52so I felt like there was something wrong with him.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Every day when he wakes up, there's, like, sparkles in his eyes.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57He really likes it, I can tell.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01No, it actually did. It changed my life.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Changed my... yeah, it did.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Next time, 18-year-old Amelia continues her house hunt
0:27:10 > 0:27:14and spends over half a million on a flat she's never seen.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I don't think I have to look round it either.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19This is spontaneity.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21We meet 19-year-old businessman Johnny,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24with 400 grand to spend on his very first flat.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Next little complex won't be ready till next August.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I'll have to wear a hard hat every time I go out.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33And 24-year-old property investor Ed, has a massive 1.5 million
0:27:33 > 0:27:36to build his own property empire.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Something like that would go with the theme.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41It's got the diamantes, which I really like.
