00:00Today I'm house hunting on the east coast of Cyprus around beautiful Famagusta.
00:07I'm Jean Johansson and over the last 10 years I've been buying, selling and renovating properties
00:13both in the UK and overseas.
00:16Today I'll be using all my skills house hunting with Karen and Richard and we get off to the
00:21best of starts.
00:22Yeah, you've still got to try to bite this, I can't see it.
00:27Oh, do you know what guys, that's just music to my ears.
00:30That I struggle to live up to.
00:32I think I expected a little bit more when I walked in, I think I expected a bit more
00:35while when I walked in.
00:37I visit a rather chic luxury villa.
00:40I'm getting hotel room vibes in here Debbie, I love it.
00:43Oh, it's a fantastic main bedroom.
00:46But at the end of the day, do I find my house hunters their perfect place in the sun?
00:51I think it's my favourite one.
00:53Are you pulling my leg?
00:54Oh no.
00:56Karen and Richard's first holiday together was to Cyprus 13 years ago and they've been
01:03coming back ever since.
01:05They love it so much they even got married on the island and now it's time to take the
01:09next big step of buying their own holiday home here for the whole family to enjoy.
01:15These two have been married for three of the 13 years they've been together after meeting
01:19in a pub Richard, also known as Cookie, owned and Karen was working in.
01:24The eleven can't and now own and run a building company.
01:29Cookie's good at taking care of me, taking care of the family, he's good at running the
01:33business, generally organising things and making sure everything runs smoothly.
01:39Not so good, he's not the most tidiest of people or the cleanest of people.
01:45What's he bad at?
01:46Spending money and shopping, we have parcels delivered here every single day.
01:50Is that right?
01:51Sometimes.
01:53Sometimes, every day.
01:55With four children between them ranging from 16 to 27, they're keen to find somewhere that
02:00works for everyone.
02:02With their budget of £200,000, they've chosen Famagusta in Cyprus to focus their search.
02:14Cyprus is split into six regions, Famagusta being one of them.
02:18It's pretty easy to get to, with flights into Larnaca, one of the two international
02:22airports on the island.
02:25Most tourists head to the south of the region where a majority of the holiday resorts and
02:29some of the island's most popular beaches are located.
02:33Perhaps the best known spot is Ayia Napa, home to great nightlife and a lovely stretch
02:38of sand.
02:39But there are also some more laid back locations like Kiparis, a stretch of coast lined with
02:44bars and restaurants, and Konos Beach, one of a number of lovely coves in the area.
02:51In the more exclusive locations, three bedroom villas with a pool typically start at around
02:56£260,000, but in surrounding towns and villages, prices can be up to 30% lower, so I'm confident
03:04I can find Karen and Richard some great options for their budget.
03:09And with no delay, we're meeting on Trinity Beach in Kiparis to go through the details.
03:15Karen and Richard, welcome back to Cyprus.
03:18Thank you very much.
03:19Lovely to be here.
03:20I've got two big fans of the island here, haven't I?
03:21Yeah, you have, yeah.
03:22Huge fans.
03:23What is it about Cyprus that you absolutely love?
03:26It's just laid back and people, we've only got to look around now, you know?
03:29Yeah.
03:30It's just, everyone's out there in the morning, families, it's great, you know?
03:33Yeah.
03:34Just feel relaxed, you just feel at home.
03:35Yeah.
03:36So, tell me about your family back home, because you've both got two kids.
03:39I've got two, you've got two, haven't we?
03:40But they get on really, really well.
03:42We've got Ashani, Jade.
03:44Cassis and Tayden.
03:46Lovely.
03:47So, will you be thinking about them on this search and what they might want as well?
03:50Yeah, definitely.
03:51Definitely, yeah.
03:52And at some point, hopefully, they'll have kids of their own that they can bring them
03:54as well.
03:55Not yet, I hope.
03:56Not yet.
03:57Tell me about what you like to do when you're out here.
03:59What do you do in your spare time?
04:00Not a lot.
04:01We're quite relaxed, really.
04:02Oh, right.
04:03Okay.
04:04So, what I like to do is probably get up, have a little bit of breakfast, lay around
04:07by the pool all day, go for a walk or a drive in the afternoon and do a bit of exploring,
04:12and then go out for a nice meal in the evening.
04:14Sounds ideal.
04:15Yeah, easy.
04:16Nice and easy.
04:17Let's talk about what you're looking for.
04:19Really, we're after sort of a three-bedroom villa with a pool.
04:24Right.
04:25It doesn't really matter exactly where it is, does it?
04:27As long as it's this sort of coastline and around here.
04:31So, your budget is £200,000.
04:33Is there any extra on that?
04:35Yeah, probably if there's one that we really liked, about £20,000 on top.
04:39Okay.
04:40How do you feel about using some of your skills for a property potentially here if, you know,
04:45if it needed a bit of build and work?
04:47Yeah, definitely.
04:48I could bring my brother and the team over, so yeah, it'd be good.
04:52Okay, good to know that you're open to that.
04:54Yeah, definitely, yeah.
04:55Looking forward to this?
04:56Yeah, definitely.
04:57Right.
04:58Me too.
04:59Come on.
05:00I've been to a few different areas and can take on some renovations, which gives me plenty
05:04of options to play with.
05:06My first pick is in a development a 20-minute drive from the coast, just outside the village
05:10of Frenaros.
05:12I think it's a great spot to have in reach, packed with history and culture alongside
05:17some great bars and restaurants.
05:19We're stopping in the centre to check it out.
05:21Been here before?
05:22No.
05:23No, I've never been here before.
05:24Driven through it.
05:25Yeah.
05:26But not been here.
05:27That's a nice thing that you can do, you know, if you're going to have a holiday home
05:28I know you like to relax and do all that kind of stuff, but the odd day getting out and
05:32exploring I think is quite good.
05:34Are you guys into kind of sippy Greek food?
05:37Yeah, all food really.
05:39Yeah.
05:40We do like to eat out every night, don't we?
05:41Yeah.
05:42This is a great place that you can try some of that traditional cooking in some of the
05:45restaurants here.
05:46It's a fun place here as well, they have the yearly watermelon festival.
05:49Does that float your boat?
05:50Yeah, I'll have some of that.
05:52Yeah, there's something to watch, yeah.
05:54Yeah, lots of watermelon has grown in this region, so it makes sense, you can have a little
05:58watermelon and a cocktail, watermelon ice cream.
06:01So yeah, cocktail.
06:02Yeah.
06:03Be a nice place to come with the kids.
06:04Yeah, be good, yeah.
06:05Yeah, be nice to explore.
06:06And my first property is about a 20 minute walk from here, six minutes in the car, so
06:10this could be your sort of local little village.
06:12Yeah?
06:13Yeah, good, yeah.
06:14Ready to see the first one?
06:15Yeah, definitely.
06:16Come on.
06:17There's been a lot of development in this area, meaning there's a real variety of options
06:22available.
06:23A three bed villa with a pool would typically sell for at least £190,000, but I've found
06:29a great one for less.
06:31Right, look there, that's the first property I've chosen for you.
06:34I can't fault that at the moment.
06:36This is a three bedroom, detached villa with a pool.
06:39Job done.
06:40Yeah, now I'm excited to see what's inside.
06:42Got everything we've asked for.
06:43Parking space, everything.
06:44I know, yeah, garage as well.
06:47But another reason I've brought you to this property is because of the price.
06:50Go on.
06:51It's on the market for just over £171,500.
06:54That is good.
06:55Sounds good?
06:56Yeah, that is good.
06:57A massive smile just appeared on your face there.
06:59No, that's good, yeah.
07:00I thought it was going to be a lot more.
07:01Yeah.
07:02Why did you think it was going to be more?
07:03Because of the size of it and what we've sort of looked at as well.
07:05And the street looks nice.
07:07It does, yeah.
07:08Yeah.
07:09Let's get in.
07:10Come on.
07:11Yeah, nice from out here.
07:13As well as the driveway to the front, there's also a balcony here with open views.
07:19Round the back is the pool area with access to the garage currently used for storage.
07:24Inside the living room has plenty of character with its curved wall and log burner.
07:30It's open to the good-sized kitchen that has access to that pool area, as does the main
07:35bedroom that's a big double and has an en-suite shower room.
07:39The second is also a good size, the third a little smaller.
07:44There's a bathroom and a separate toilet.
07:48Come straight into the living area.
07:50I wasn't expecting the open pan plan, but I like it.
07:53You like it?
07:54Yeah, I like it.
07:55Good, yeah.
07:56Yeah.
07:57Nice, isn't it?
07:58Yeah, it's a nice size.
07:59It's got everything you need, hasn't it?
08:00I don't really like the change.
08:01The kitchen may be up-to-date, but it's fine at the moment, isn't it?
08:02You're a builder, so is it your instinct to come into a place and change things?
08:06Yeah, it is really, but there's nothing here.
08:08I don't think I'd change anything here.
08:11I think it's just nice to come and put your own stamp on somewhere.
08:13Yeah.
08:14But yeah, no.
08:15First impressions are good.
08:16Let's go upstairs, shall we?
08:17Come on.
08:19Nice light bedroom, good storage for all your bits and bobs.
08:25I like it.
08:26It's a nice size.
08:27It's big.
08:28It's big.
08:29We can put a double bed in here.
08:30It's big.
08:31Yeah, there's storage.
08:32Oh, I like it a lot.
08:33I'm glad that you're happy with this.
08:35You want to see the pool?
08:36I'd love to see the pool.
08:37After you.
08:38Back downstairs, then.
08:39Come on.
08:40Very nice.
08:41It is nice.
08:42Yeah.
08:43That's big enough for us.
08:44Yeah.
08:45Private enough, isn't it?
08:46It's a nice size pool.
08:48You've still got to try to beat this.
08:49I can't see it.
08:50Oh!
08:51It's ticked all our boxes, isn't it?
08:52Oh, do you know what, guys?
08:54That's just music to my ears.
08:55That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
08:57It's good that we're getting off to a good start.
08:59You do have another four properties to see, but before that, why don't the two of you
09:03go back in on your own, look round the other bedrooms, take it all in, I'll meet you outside
09:08and see what you think.
09:09Lovely.
09:10Yeah?
09:11Okay.
09:12Take your time.
09:13Off you go.
09:14Whoa.
09:15Great reactions.
09:16I'm off to a good start.
09:18I'm surprised because this is just a great three-bed villa with a pool and I hope it
09:22gets me a contender.
09:23I like this bed.
09:24Yeah.
09:25It's a good size.
09:26I'd, um...
09:27It's new.
09:28I'd probably change the dark wood in time.
09:29Um, it's not really my taste, but it's...
09:30Yeah.
09:31It looks like it's fitted well.
09:32It is fitted well, yeah.
09:33It's good.
09:34That was nice.
09:35I'd leave it.
09:36I'd leave it.
09:37I like it.
09:38This is a good size as well.
09:39Oh, yeah.
09:40Size and a half.
09:41Perfect.
09:42Yeah, that's good, isn't it?
09:43Yeah, if you've got everyone coming to stay, it's got everything you need, hasn't it?
09:44It's got a shower there as well.
09:45This spacious three-bed is on the market, nicely under budget at just over £171,500
09:48and has me feeling pretty good.
09:49Hi.
09:50I'm already hearing good whispers as you walk out, so what did you think when you saw the
09:51whole thing?
09:52Yeah.
09:53Yeah.
09:54Yeah.
09:55Yeah.
09:56Yeah.
09:57Yeah.
09:58Yeah.
09:59Yeah.
10:00Yeah.
10:01Yeah.
10:02Yeah.
10:03Yeah.
10:04Yeah.
10:05Yeah.
10:06Yeah.
10:07Yeah.
10:08Yeah.
10:09Yeah.
10:10Yeah.
10:11Yeah.
10:12Yeah.
10:13Yeah.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Yeah.
10:16Yeah.
10:17Yeah.
10:18Yeah.
10:19Yeah.
10:20Yeah.
10:21So you really like it.
10:22Really like it overall.
10:23Oh, good.
10:24Jim really, really pleased with it.
10:25So, every room's a nice size.
10:26Yeah.
10:27Pool's a nice size.
10:28There's nothing really we'd change, is there?
10:29Maybe a little bit more room around the pool but it's not a problem.
10:30A contender, I can assume.
10:31I think so.
10:32You're going to struggle beating it, I think.
10:33Yeah, you keep saying that.
10:34Yeah, I think you will.
10:35I'm excited to see what else is coming, now we've seen this one.
10:36Well, then, for moving on, I just need to beat this property, which I think is going
10:39to be hard.
10:40I'll move some pieces around the board, okay?
10:42Yeah.
10:42Come on.
10:46We're staying on the same theme for our next option
10:49with a place on the edge of a village
10:51but this time much closer to the coast and Caparis.
10:54With so many different coves and bays around here
10:57there's one for every taste.
11:00I know you two are keen to see the next property
11:02but I thought we should stop off at one of my favourite spots.
11:05This is Malama Beach. Have you been before?
11:07We have, yes.
11:08Oh, great.
11:09Just briefly, yeah, had a quick look.
11:11What do you think of it?
11:12It's beautiful.
11:13Yeah, it's such a lovely spot, yeah.
11:15Yeah, it is. It's just a nice cove here.
11:18You can do a bit of snorkelling.
11:19There's a wee man over there where you can go
11:21and hire all your paddle boards, jet skis, you know.
11:25Do you like water sports?
11:26Yeah, we've been out on the jet skis here, haven't we?
11:29Paragliding and, yeah, it's good.
11:31If we've got the kids with us
11:32then we'll always participate in the water sports.
11:34They love it.
11:35Oh, brilliant. What's paragliding like?
11:36I've not tried it.
11:37It's good, but I don't look very elegant in it, I don't.
11:40Legs dangling down.
11:41Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good, that.
11:43And you like the sun, you two, don't you?
11:45Yeah, this is ideal cos you can just sit,
11:47watch the world go by and enjoy the weather.
11:50Perfect.
11:51Well, my next property's about a 7-minute drive from here
11:53so this could be a bit of a local place to come
11:55with the whole family.
11:56Yeah, sounds good.
11:57Not bad, eh?
11:58Yeah, not bad at all.
11:59After you.
12:01Coming up, my first property's going to be hard to beat
12:04but I'm hoping to do just that
12:06with this three-bedroom modern villa
12:08that comes with a great pool.
12:16Today I'm in Famagusta on the east coast of Cyprus
12:19helping Karen and Richard find their dream holiday home
12:22and I've gotten off to a flying start.
12:24I've got a strong contender in the bag.
12:26This spacious villa brought some big smiles to their faces.
12:29Richard said it's going to be hard to beat
12:31but I'm up for the challenge.
12:33And as it was on the market a fair bit
12:35under their ideal £200,000 budget
12:38I have plenty of room to manoeuvre.
12:40Our next option, on the edge of the large village of Derunia
12:44is much closer to the coast
12:46as well as local bars, shops and restaurants.
12:49However, property prices here are similar
12:52However, property prices here are similar
12:55with the average three-bed with a pool
12:57once again nicely within budget.
13:02I've brought you somewhere a little bit different
13:04so we're 35 minutes again from Larnaca Airport
13:07and this is the next property.
13:09I like the look of the outside of this.
13:11I think I'd probably prefer this to the first property.
13:14Really?
13:15The outside.
13:16Maybe, maybe not.
13:17It's good, it's clean, it's new
13:20and we're both modern, don't we?
13:22Yeah.
13:23But I did like the other one.
13:24Right, okay.
13:25So it's got a good, it'll be good to balance it.
13:27This is definitely modern.
13:29What you've got here is three bedrooms, two bathrooms
13:33a nice outside pool
13:35and just a bit of a more modern space for you and the family
13:38so I'll be interested to see what you think of it.
13:40Sounds good.
13:41It does, yeah.
13:42This one is on the market for just under £207,000.
13:46Yeah, it's good.
13:47Yeah, you've got to think of the family with the location as well
13:50and what they're going to be near.
13:51I think that'd be easier when people come here
13:54because obviously grab a car and you're in.
13:57Shall we have a look inside?
13:58Yeah, come on.
14:01This modern semi comes with a driveway at the front
14:04that gives access to the pool out back
14:06with just about enough room for sunbathing and relaxing.
14:10Inside it's open plan
14:12with a living and dining area open to the spacious kitchen.
14:16There's also a toilet down here.
14:18The three bright double bedrooms are all upstairs
14:21as is the main bathroom.
14:26Right, so you've got the stairs up to your three bedrooms
14:29WC, kitchen and you can see out to the pool.
14:33I think I expected a little bit more when I walked in.
14:35I think I expected a bit more wow when I walked in.
14:37OK.
14:38Are you a person that likes to be wowed as soon as you walk into a place?
14:41Yeah.
14:42OK, and you had that with the previous property, I could tell.
14:44I think so, yeah.
14:45But I'll never say no.
14:48Yeah.
14:49It's much more modern, isn't it?
14:50Yeah.
14:51That's for sure.
14:52It's good, but for me outside it looked much bigger.
14:55Right, OK.
14:56So, yeah, yes.
14:58I like that though, walking straight out.
15:01You can see the pool from your living area.
15:03Open it right up as well, yeah, you can see that.
15:05Yeah.
15:06Furniture's included with this one as well
15:08so I feel like it's a property where you guys could turn up
15:10and sort of move right in for your holiday home.
15:12What's your style?
15:13What have you gone for back at home?
15:15Well...
15:16Kind of neutral.
15:17Right, OK.
15:18Little touches and...
15:20Little pops of colour here and there, so...
15:23I mean, being married to a builder, that must be great
15:26because he can do all bits and bobs for you, build stuff.
15:30No? What do you mean, no?
15:31I'll get the say on what happens inside.
15:33And I do nothing on my own house, that's for sure.
15:36You do nothing on your own house?
15:38Not if I can.
15:39Oh, right, OK.
15:40I don't get paid for it.
15:42I'd like to see more.
15:43Right, if you want to see more.
15:44Let's go to the pool, come on.
15:46Nice kitchen.
15:47Come on out.
15:48It's big enough?
15:49Yeah, it's quite a good size.
15:52Another nice pool with this property.
15:55It's not for me.
15:56It's too small.
15:57Too tiny.
15:58The pool's a good size, but there's nowhere...
16:01nowhere for you to lay, is there?
16:03Well, you've got just some beds over there.
16:05Yeah, no.
16:06It'd be all right if it was the two of us.
16:08Right, OK.
16:09But as soon as you've got four kids with partners,
16:11there's just not enough space here.
16:13This is an area where we would spend most of our day.
16:16Right, OK.
16:17Oh, Karen, I can really tell this isn't for you.
16:20Do you want to see around the rest of it?
16:22Not for me.
16:23All right.
16:24What I want you to think about as we move forward
16:26is what's more important to you.
16:28Is it going to be the area?
16:29Because I know you two like to go out,
16:31you're going to have people over.
16:32Or is it the property?
16:34I think the property, in our minds,
16:37is a lot more important than where we are.
16:39Right.
16:40Because we both drive.
16:41OK.
16:42And whoever comes here will drive.
16:43And it's only...
16:44Wherever we go, it's only 10, 15 euros and a taxi.
16:47Right, OK.
16:48So I think the property.
16:49Onwards and upwards, then.
16:50I've got something in mind that will maybe combine
16:53an area I know that you like...
16:54Yeah.
16:55..and a good property.
16:56How does that sound?
16:57OK.
16:58Great.
16:59Onwards and upwards. Come on.
17:00Let's go.
17:01This modern semi with three bedrooms
17:03and a negotiable price tag of just under £207,000
17:07is clearly not the one for Richard and Karen.
17:12So in search of more wow and more space,
17:15we're moving on to a different stretch of coastline
17:17for my next offering.
17:19It's a 20-minute drive south
17:21in a recently developed area just west of Ayia Napa
17:24called Ayia Thekla.
17:26But not everything's new here.
17:29I thought this was a good spot for showing you
17:31kind of old Cyprus and new.
17:33This is Ayia Thekla Chapel here.
17:35And then in the background, Ayia Napa Marina,
17:38which I think is going to be very nice when it's done.
17:41This is going to be a place to hang out.
17:43Bars, restaurant, luxury village.
17:45What do you reckon?
17:47Yeah, it's good.
17:48We saw it about five years ago when they started building it.
17:50We haven't seen it like this. Yeah.
17:52I know it's not finished, but, yeah, it looks good, doesn't it?
17:54Yeah. It'll be nice to explore that.
17:56I think it's nice.
17:57I think there's a new reputation coming for Ayia Napa
18:00and, you know, I like where it's going.
18:02And you must have enjoyed loads of great holidays
18:05here with the family, Karen.
18:06Yeah, yeah.
18:07It's definitely the place that we'll always come back to.
18:09I don't think there's been many years we haven't been here
18:11since we've been together.
18:12And I'm glad that you're sort of getting excited about this area
18:14because my next property's about a four-minute drive from here.
18:17You could walk in under 20 minutes.
18:19Oh, that's good, innit? Yeah? It does sound good.
18:21Ready for the next one? Yeah, we are.
18:23Follow me. Come on.
18:25Coming up, if Karen and Richard want more space around the pool,
18:28I'm hoping to nail it with my next property,
18:31this three-bedroom detached villa that's in a great location.
18:39Today I'm in Famagusta on the glorious eastern coast of Cyprus,
18:44helping some worshippers, Karen and Richard,
18:46find the perfect property to soak up some rays.
18:49So far, well, I've been enjoying the sun,
18:52So far, well, I've got a good contender.
18:54They weren't so keen on my second property,
18:56but I've got something great up my sleeve.
18:59The hit was this spacious villa on a development
19:02just outside the village of Frenaros.
19:04It had the space they're looking for to entertain family and friends
19:08and was on the market nearly £30,000
19:10under their ideal budget of £200,000.
19:14And as they also have a further £20,000 for something special,
19:18there's plenty of scope for me to find it some competition.
19:22My first attempt is in an area to the west of Ayia Napa called Ayia Thecla.
19:27With so much going on around here,
19:29including the construction of a recreation and marina space,
19:32prices are higher than anywhere else we've been to,
19:35so I've had to dig into that wiggle room.
19:39So not far from Ayia Napa Marina at all.
19:42Yeah, this looks good. Modern.
19:44I like the nice crisp white. Mmm. Yeah.
19:47You wanted me to improve on space by the pool.
19:50We have that here. We've got three bedrooms.
19:53Two bathrooms, one upstairs, WC downstairs,
19:55and quite a nice modern layout with this one. Yeah.
19:58This is on the market for just over £232,500.
20:03But the agent has assured me
20:05that they will listen to offers around £220,000,
20:08which is the top end of your budget.
20:10I'm just itching to get in and check out the inside.
20:13All right, OK. Itch no more. Come on.
20:15All positive noises so far.
20:17The outside space here consists of the driveway
20:20and first-floor terrace at the front,
20:22and then a spacious pool area at the back
20:25with room for plenty of sun loungers.
20:28Inside, it's open plan with a living and dining area
20:31divided from the kitchen by a breakfast bar.
20:35There's also a toilet on the ground floor.
20:38Then upstairs are three double bedrooms,
20:40all with built-in storage and a bathroom.
20:46Straight into the kitchen with this one.
20:48Yeah, I quite like this one. Hmm.
20:50Yeah, pleasantly surprised. Oh, good.
20:52Yeah, you're smiling this time. That's good.
20:54Yeah, it's not as big as Poverty One, but I like it, yeah. It's good.
20:57You're losing a bit of space with this one,
20:59but, boy, is the location good.
21:01And that's really what I want you guys to be up, you know.
21:04I don't think you can get a better location than this.
21:06You've got, what, 100 yards and you've got to see? Yeah.
21:09I think I prefer the layout of this one,
21:11with the kitchen being at the front of the house
21:13and the living room looking over the pool,
21:15so if you don't want to be in the heat and around the pool,
21:18you can still sit and watch what's going on.
21:20Definitely better layout, isn't it? Yeah.
21:22You've got loads of time to look round this property,
21:24but I'm a footy fan like you, I know you're a massive Arsenal fan.
21:27Ha-ha-ha, not quite. Tottenham Hotspur for you, right?
21:30Yeah. Yeah, you've been following Tottenham for years.
21:32I have, yes. Home, away, everywhere, really, all over Europe.
21:36And where does your love for football come from?
21:39Well, my grandad, sort of, he was into football quite a lot
21:42and he used to take me local and I played local football.
21:45And then, sort of, I've run a youth team now, Ashford United,
21:49and they've just won the Kent League under-16s. Woo!
21:52So it's really good, yeah, it's been a good season.
21:54What are you doing in that time, Karen? Shopping.
21:57Yeah, I like to shop.
21:59Well, there are plenty of nice shops around the island
22:02and the marina's going to have some nice shopping down there as well.
22:05I'm glad you've got good first impressions.
22:07Shall we head upstairs? Yeah, definitely. Follow me, come on.
22:10All three bedrooms off the landing.
22:12We've got a bathroom here and a nice little touch,
22:15a terrace off the bedroom and the one next door.
22:17Is this the main bedroom?
22:19I mean, they're all kind of the same size.
22:21I think what's nice about this one and the one next door
22:23is that you've got outside space with it as well
22:25and the bathroom's just next door, so it feels like our own suite.
22:28Going back to your first property, it was a lot bigger.
22:31I was going to say, this is...
22:33This is nice, but I'm not sure.
22:37Right, let me see if that space around the pool can maybe win you over.
22:41Shall we take a look at that? Yeah, definitely.
22:43Come on downstairs to the pool.
22:47So, plenty of room for a big dining table.
22:51Six of you can lie out here.
22:54And more room round the side there.
22:56Got all the area that you need. Plenty of room for all of us.
22:59Yeah, I think this has brought it back up for me.
23:02All good. It's nice. It's our style, innit?
23:04I think this will be a winner so far with the kids, if I'm honest.
23:07Ah, well, it's good. It's important to hear what the kids would think
23:10because, you know, they're going to spend some time here,
23:13so this would be number one for the kids.
23:15I think so for location and this area and the downstairs.
23:19I can see you're undecided.
23:21I'm looking forward to seeing what you think when you see the rest of it.
23:24Take your time. I'll see where you are at the end.
23:27All right.
23:28This one's a winner. Well, for the kids, anyway.
23:31It's a good property.
23:33I hope they're going to consider the excellent location.
23:35This is a nice size.
23:37I think this is bigger than the other one.
23:39I think that's a better bedroom, yeah, it's bigger.
23:41And this is a nice spot, a nice shady spot, isn't it?
23:44I quite like this, yeah. Get up in the morning, ten minutes out of here.
23:47You'd probably get the full sun, though, in the morning here, I'm guessing.
23:50Yeah, maybe.
23:54Yeah, I think this might be a bit small, especially with everyone here.
23:58I think we could struggle with one bathroom between the three bedrooms.
24:01Yeah, I don't know if it's just me or you here, but I think it will be.
24:06This house in Ayutthaya with three bedrooms and a negotiable
24:10but over-budget asking price of just over £232,500
24:15seems to have plenty of positives.
24:18There you are.
24:22Well.
24:23Well, indeed, tell me.
24:25Downstairs, absolutely perfect.
24:27Best one we've seen by a long way, I think, downstairs.
24:30But one bathroom upstairs.
24:33Yeah. We're not sure.
24:35That is the compromise for having the beach at the end of the road
24:38and being in this area that you love.
24:40I think it's something we're going to have to have a little think about.
24:43OK. Can I call this a contender?
24:45Oh, yeah, I think from where it is. Oh, that's good news.
24:47I think so, and I think it's going to be a favourite with the kids.
24:50It's just that bathroom. Right, OK.
24:52Yeah. You're by any chance got daughters
24:54that take a good few hours getting ready?
24:56I've got a lot of them that take...
24:58I was one of those ones, so I know what you're saying.
25:01Moving on, then, how about I sort out that bathroom situation for you?
25:06I've got a property in mind that might need a little bit of work.
25:09OK.
25:10Offers you a bit more space.
25:12How does that sound as a compromise?
25:14Yeah, I like the idea of that. Do you?
25:16Yeah, I do, yeah. Let's go, then. Come on.
25:19Before heading to that project
25:21that I'm confident will get builder Richard excited,
25:24I want to take a detour to one of the island's finest assets,
25:28the fantastic Cornos Beach,
25:30a spot where many holiday dreams are made.
25:34Now, I couldn't do this search for you without a stop-off at Cornos Beach,
25:38cos it's a special place for you, isn't it?
25:40Yeah, definitely.
25:42Yeah, we got married three years ago, just at the top of the cliff there.
25:45Stunning. And, yeah, absolutely perfect day.
25:48Oh! Wouldn't have changed a thing.
25:50One little blip on the day.
25:52There's always one. What happened?
25:54We'd been out, there was about 15, 20 of us,
25:56went to the little pub round the corner.
25:58Oh, yeah. And we decided to watch the cricket all day.
26:01Left the girls and everyone at the hotel. Yeah.
26:04And I decided to take my tooth out.
26:07I've got a false tooth just to eat, see.
26:09So once I'd done it, I forgot to put it back in.
26:11Two hours later, couldn't find it.
26:14Went through the bin, bloke was going,
26:16no, no, no, I said, I'm taking the bin.
26:18So we took the bin, tipped the bin out,
26:20and one of my mates, I was videoing it as well, it was funny,
26:23one of my mates went, what's that? And it was laying on the floor.
26:26So I picked it up, pulled it back, told Karen the story.
26:29She took the tooth off me, locked it in the safe
26:31and I wasn't allowed into the wedding day.
26:33So, lovely big smells in your wedding pictures.
26:35Yeah, I was all right then, yeah, lucky.
26:37Well, I'm glad to bring you back here because it is such a beautiful beach.
26:40There's something for everyone here, you know.
26:42You can do some paddle boarding to relax
26:44or you can go out on the jet skis or ribs.
26:46It really does have something for everyone.
26:48Great hotel, great bars, great restaurants,
26:50so good choice for your special day.
26:52It's time to see another property now.
26:54Yeah, yeah.
26:55I'm going to take you somewhere you may not have been before.
26:58OK. Come on.
27:00The place I have in mind is a little further west of Ayia Napa
27:03than our last, in the village of Zilifagu.
27:06While it's currently best known as the Cypriot home of the potato,
27:10with lots grown in the area,
27:12I think it's also got holiday home potential
27:15as it's so close to Ayia Napa.
27:17So, I've brought you to Zilifagu.
27:19This is a nice little village.
27:21It's kind of got everything you need in walking distance.
27:24Been here before? No.
27:26I'm familiar.
27:27Keep an open mind, Zilifagu is a really nice little place.
27:31You've got a supermarket within a five-minute walk from here.
27:34There's a nice community and you get a lot more for your money here.
27:37What I've chosen for you is this.
27:39It's a three-bedroom property.
27:41Look at the size of it. Huge. Yeah, it's massive.
27:44What you're getting with this, it's oodles of space.
27:47You've got three bedrooms, en suite shower room with one of them,
27:50and you've got a separate bathroom upstairs and a WC downstairs,
27:54so that should sort out some of your issues.
27:56Nice pool out the back and a wee surprise as well.
28:00OK.
28:01It's on the market for just under £220,000,
28:04but it's been on for three years.
28:06The agent's honest about the fact she's having trouble selling the property
28:10just because it needs some work done,
28:12but that is when a builder comes in handy.
28:15OK. Yeah, it'll be good.
28:17Yeah, I'm interested to see how much work there is inside.
28:20But, yeah, for me, it's the area that's putting me off a little bit.
28:23I'm not familiar with this area, never been here before.
28:25Right, OK.
28:26Don't know if it's a little bit too far out for me.
28:28Right. Go in with an open mind, that's my advice.
28:30Take your time. I'll be intrigued to see what you think.
28:33Off you go.
28:36I think Richard is more up for this than Karen,
28:39but I think when they get in there, they might be pleasantly surprised.
28:43As well as the small garden, driveway and garage at the front,
28:47this place has two first floor balconies.
28:50Then at the back is the biggest pool area we've seen so far,
28:54with a nice covered barbecue area and, beyond that,
28:57would you believe it, a lone bowling green.
29:01Inside, there's a huge living and dining room
29:04open to the kitchen and a ground floor toilet.
29:07Then upstairs are the three large bedrooms,
29:10two of which have balcony access,
29:12and the main also has an en-suite shower room.
29:15Finally, there's a main bathroom.
29:19OK, this is another open plan.
29:22It's huge, isn't it?
29:24It is big.
29:25Not a lot to be done in here, is there?
29:27No, not really.
29:28This is massive.
29:29It's a lot bigger than any of the others we've seen, isn't it?
29:32I like it. There ain't a lot to do, are there?
29:34No, there's nothing to be done, really.
29:36It's the biggest space we've seen, isn't it?
29:38Yeah.
29:39Quite a long way.
29:41OK, this is a decent-sized bedroom.
29:44Yeah, it's big enough, isn't it?
29:46I just think this has got everything, isn't it?
29:48It's the size of it and...
29:50I don't know, I'd like to see a bit more.
29:52Shall we go and have a look? Yep.
29:55Wow, this pool area is massive.
29:57It's huge.
29:58I like the pool. I'm not sure about the canopy.
30:00I've never seen one before.
30:01It'll be all right in the winter.
30:03That needs to be repainted. It needs to be updated.
30:05Big time.
30:07No way.
30:08This can't be with the house.
30:10It's absolutely massive.
30:11He did say it was, though.
30:13My brother would be all right, bowling.
30:15He does a bit of bowling, doesn't he?
30:17It's huge. It's huge.
30:19This house, with a bowling green, three bedrooms
30:22and a negotiable price tag of just under £220,000,
30:26should certainly have project-savvy Richard and Karen thinking.
30:31But is it for them?
30:34How's your underarm, bowling?
30:37What have you done?
30:39I've got to say, I've shown a lot of houses in my time.
30:42I've never came across a bowling green,
30:44but, hey, why not? What do you think?
30:46It's my favourite one.
30:48Are you pulling my leg?
30:50No, it's...
30:52The size, I'm not sure, because it is so big.
30:55But, yeah, I'm...
30:57I'm heading towards this one.
31:00The layout and everything in the property,
31:03you don't need to change.
31:04It's got everything that we've asked for.
31:06You can't argue with the space. You've got plenty of space.
31:09Is it a contender?
31:10Oh, yeah.
31:11Fantastic. That's great news.
31:13I'm glad that you can see the potential.
31:15I kind of thought you would.
31:16It's a great structure, and I'm a fan of Zillow Fagu as well.
31:20Right, let's talk about the other contenders,
31:22because we've got that lovely three-bedroom.
31:24You thought it was a bit small upstairs, but loved the downstairs.
31:27And the first property I showed you,
31:29it's a three-bedroom, more traditional.
31:30Are they both still in the running?
31:32The one with the best location is gone now, because of the one...
31:35You've got Pythagoras there.
31:36Yeah, I think so.
31:37You love Pythagoras.
31:38I know, but it's just one bathroom.
31:40It's not for us, I don't think.
31:41Right, OK.
31:42Well, that's two good contenders.
31:44One last roll of the dice.
31:46How about I take you to see something a bit more conventional?
31:49Yeah.
31:50Yeah?
31:51Yeah, I think so.
31:52Come on, we'll do a quick stop-off, won't we?
31:54Coming up, can I bowl these two over with my final property?
31:58The best-looking one we've seen by far.
32:01This is like a castle.
32:08Today I'm house hunting in Famagusta
32:10on the stunning eastern coast of Cyprus
32:12with Karen and Richard,
32:13who are looking for the dream holiday home for the whole family.
32:16And it's going well.
32:17I've got two contenders and one last chance to bag myself another one.
32:22Those contenders are this spacious villa
32:24on the edge of the inland village of Frenaros
32:27and this even larger property with, believe it or not,
32:30a bowling green in the back garden that's closer to the coast.
32:34With space for all those family and friends
32:36clearly a priority for these two,
32:38I'm giving them even more of it with my final offering.
32:42And it's on the market nicely within their £200,000 budget.
32:49But before Karen and Richard get to cast their eye over that,
32:52I'm slipping away to take a tour around somewhere else
32:55that could definitely be described as spacious.
32:58This stunning villa, built in a unique style,
33:01has a big pool, bedrooms and, of course, views.
33:05I'm meeting the agent for a tour.
33:09Hi, Debbie.
33:10Hi, Jean.
33:11Oh, this looks like a really interesting property.
33:14Ah, we're actually on the edge of Ayia Thekla Potamos area.
33:18Yeah.
33:19Custom-built seven-bedroom villa.
33:21Come on, I'll show you around.
33:26Oh, what a great space. Very modern.
33:29It is. It was actually built in 2011.
33:32The owners actually had it designed by a local architect.
33:36Great.
33:37OK, and he did the furnishings as well,
33:40so that's what gives the whole place this great feel.
33:43Yeah, that's nice.
33:44If you've got the architect doing the actual structure
33:47and then adding all the bits and pieces to make it come together.
33:50He did, and the curves of the building and everything
33:53and the glass for the views, he set it out to match the plot exactly.
33:57Quite unique. I'd love to see more.
33:59Can we check out the bedroom?
34:01Let's go.
34:04Getting hotel room vibes in here, Debbie.
34:07Oh, I love that.
34:08It's a fantastic main bedroom.
34:10You've actually got a sauna and a shower this side,
34:13hot tub, bath in that side.
34:16Mmm.
34:17And obviously all these wardrobe space.
34:19Gorgeous view out there. I'd love to go outside.
34:21Yep. Shall we go?
34:22Yeah.
34:23This way.
34:27Great pool, and this area is actually very private.
34:31Oh, well, it's really unique, Jean, what they've done with the trees.
34:34There's no wall, it's all been done with the trees,
34:37and it keeps the views.
34:38How much is it on the market for?
34:40It's just under 2.8 million.
34:42Worth every penny.
34:44Thank you so much for showing me around.
34:46You're really welcome.
34:47Come on, Jean, let me show you out.
34:49Oh, wish I had time for a swim.
34:52There'll be plenty of time for a dip when I'm done.
34:55My next place for Karen and Richard
34:57is a 20-minute drive from the coast in Vrasules.
35:00Unlike the last time we ventured inland,
35:03this is more of a town than a village
35:05with a great community spirit and plenty going on.
35:08We're stopping at somewhere
35:10I'd definitely like to come back to on an evening.
35:13So, for the final part of the search,
35:15I've brought you to Vrasules.
35:17Have you been here before?
35:18No.
35:19No?
35:20It's a little town that's a wee bit out of the way,
35:23but it has a lot to offer here as well.
35:25And you like to go out,
35:26so I thought I'd bring you to the number one
35:28entertainment venue in this area,
35:30because I think it might be a place
35:32where you two would hang out.
35:33What do you think of this?
35:34Yeah, it's nice, eh?
35:36It looks huge.
35:37It looks like it can take a lot of people.
35:39This is a place where,
35:40when you live in a community like this,
35:41it's somewhere you can come the odd night
35:43without having to go into Ayia Napa
35:45or some of the bigger places.
35:47So what do you like to do on your evenings
35:49when you're on holiday?
35:51We like to go for a nice meal out, don't we?
35:53Yeah.
35:54There's lots of nice places that we're used to going
35:56when we come here on holiday.
35:58Yeah.
35:59People watch, really.
36:00Go and eat, stay out late,
36:01and just watch people.
36:02Watch the world go by.
36:03I'm going to challenge you to,
36:04when you've got a place here,
36:05that you venture out from those familiar places.
36:08So I'm taking a risk with this last one.
36:10Takes you to an area you don't know,
36:12but this is a great property
36:13that doesn't need a lot of work done.
36:15Yeah, good to see it.
36:16You have an open mind for this one?
36:17Oh, yeah.
36:18It's about a 10 minute walk from here
36:20to 83 minutes in the car.
36:21Okay.
36:22Yeah?
36:23Yeah.
36:24Let's end on a high.
36:25I think Rosules could be a great option
36:28for these two
36:29as it benefits from the much lower property prices
36:31you get inland
36:32while also having plenty to keep them
36:34and their family busy.
36:36And the place I've lined up
36:38is nicely under budget
36:39at just over £193,500.
36:44I wanted to end with a good one.
36:46The big one.
36:47The big one.
36:49What do you think of this?
36:50Look at the pool.
36:51I know.
36:52The pool's massive.
36:53It's just huge.
36:54All this area out the front,
36:55it's just...
36:56Yeah.
36:57You could fit a lot of us in here.
36:58Getting a little bit further out
37:00gets you something like this.
37:02The best looking one we've seen by far.
37:04You think?
37:05Yeah.
37:06This is like a castle, isn't it?
37:08Plenty of space for you.
37:10You've got three bedrooms.
37:11The bedroom downstairs
37:12has an ensuite shower room.
37:14You've got a separate bathroom upstairs
37:15and a WC.
37:16Yeah.
37:17This is good.
37:18Best of last, is it?
37:19Let's see.
37:20Have a look.
37:21Come on.
37:23And I think it's perfect
37:25for this king and queen
37:26with plenty of space outside
37:28including that pool,
37:30a covered dining area
37:31and two first floor terraces.
37:33One large and one small,
37:35both with views.
37:37Inside, the kitchen is in great condition
37:39with space for dining
37:41and the living room is a good size
37:43with double aspect windows.
37:46There's also that ensuite bedroom
37:48and a separate toilet on the ground floor.
37:51Then upstairs are two more double bedrooms
37:53and a shower room.
37:57Come into a nice and cool house
37:59considering how hot it is outside.
38:03It's nice and cool.
38:04It is nice and cool, isn't it?
38:06It's nice, isn't it?
38:07It's a good size.
38:08Nice high ceilings.
38:10What is it that's really caught you
38:11about this one?
38:12Just looking at it
38:13as you walk in,
38:14it's like a castle.
38:15Yeah.
38:16Yeah, it's good.
38:17And again for me,
38:18I like this area
38:19because it overlooks the pool.
38:20So you could sit there
38:21with the door open
38:22and still see what's going on outside
38:23if you didn't want to be out there yourself.
38:24Yeah.
38:25It pulls in a lot of the elements
38:26you've liked about the properties
38:27this one, doesn't it?
38:28Yeah.
38:29I think it's so hard to juggle it
38:30because we're not just thinking of us,
38:31we're thinking of the kids
38:33coming even on their own as well.
38:35Yeah.
38:36The location is a bit far out.
38:38Yeah.
38:39But with this place
38:41outweigh that, I don't know.
38:43Yeah.
38:44Let's have a look around
38:45the rest of it.
38:46Bathrooms have been a big thing for you.
38:47The bedroom downstairs
38:48has an en suite.
38:49Let's go and take a look.
38:50Follow me.
38:52You're off the kitchen
38:53with this bedroom.
38:54Shower room, en suite.
38:56This is a good sized room.
38:58Lots of light coming in.
38:59Yeah.
39:00Yeah.
39:01Storage.
39:02Yeah, plenty of storage.
39:03There was obviously
39:04two bedrooms upstairs as well.
39:05Yeah, exactly.
39:06So it just gives you more options,
39:07you know,
39:08for everybody getting ready
39:09at various times
39:10because I know that's been
39:11a bit of a thing for you.
39:12I'm happy that this is going well.
39:15You know the drill.
39:16Look round it on your own.
39:17Yeah.
39:18And if you're going to
39:19knock out other properties
39:20over this, you know,
39:21really start thinking about this
39:23being your holiday home.
39:24Go upstairs,
39:25check out the bedrooms
39:26and I'll meet you
39:27to get the final verdict.
39:28Lovely.
39:29Okay.
39:33That's great.
39:34Richard obviously loves this
39:35because it's big.
39:36Karen needs a little bit of convincing.
39:39But I think she'll be one over.
39:42Okay.
39:43Good size kitchen.
39:44Yeah, small but good.
39:46Everything's big in here.
39:47I definitely like the dark wood
39:49in Cyprus.
39:50Wow, this is huge.
39:52Look.
39:53That's a big bedroom as well.
39:55Yeah, both bedrooms
39:56were big, weren't they?
39:57I love this.
39:58Imagine sitting out here.
39:59Can't fault it.
40:00No.
40:01It's just the area
40:02at the moment
40:03we just need to work out
40:04it's too far away
40:05from everything.
40:06This castle-like villa
40:07in the town of Rosules
40:08with three bedrooms
40:10has a below-budget price tag
40:12of just over £193,500.
40:18How did it go?
40:19Looking round the rest of it?
40:20Yeah.
40:21It would suit us, wouldn't it?
40:23It would suit us, yeah, definitely.
40:24That's nice to hear, yeah.
40:26I think this is definitely my favourite.
40:28I don't know about yours.
40:30I'm loving the outside space
40:31of this one.
40:32It's amazing.
40:33Who would not like this?
40:34Yeah.
40:36Yeah, it's just
40:37I think we've just got to
40:38work out the location of it now
40:39and see how far it is
40:40and do a bit of cost work there.
40:41Yeah, absolutely.
40:42And just come back
40:43to those other properties then.
40:45You loved the one in Zillow Fagu.
40:47What about Frenaros?
40:49That was the first one,
40:50but I think when you compare
40:51that to this
40:52for a similar budget,
40:53it is.
40:54Okay.
40:55I don't know.
40:56I think it's a no-brainer,
40:57I think.
40:58Yeah.
40:59I think overnight, you know,
41:00don't be scared to let
41:01a couple of those properties
41:02come in and out
41:03of your decisions
41:04and that will help you
41:05make the final call.
41:07Yeah?
41:08I think so, yeah.
41:09I'll see you tomorrow
41:10and see if you want to
41:11put any offers in.
41:12Yeah, great.
41:13Right now, should we go
41:14and jump in the ice-cold sea?
41:15Got to do something.
41:16We need to.
41:21If you'd like more information
41:23about any of the properties
41:24featured on today's show,
41:25go to aplaceinthesand.com
41:27forward slash programs.
41:29What a house hunt we've had
41:31around the Famagusta region
41:33of Cyprus with Karen and Richard
41:35working with their budget
41:36of up to £220,000.
41:40Well, we've ended up
41:41with a front-runner
41:42in our final place,
41:43this villa in the inland village
41:45of Rasoulis.
41:46Also in contention
41:47are this spacious villa
41:49that's also a drive
41:50from the coast in Franaros
41:51and this house
41:52with a bowling green
41:53not far from the beach
41:54in Sila Fagu.
41:58The other coastal place
41:59they like in Ayia Thekla
42:01was on the list at one point
42:02but was ruled out
42:04for having just one bathroom.
42:06With family and friends
42:07a big factor in this search,
42:09Karen and Richard
42:10have had a lot to consider.
42:12So after a night of discussion,
42:14I hope they've been able
42:15to reach a decision.
42:17Good morning.
42:18Morning.
42:19How are you two?
42:20Yeah, good, thank you.
42:21Tired?
42:22Yeah.
42:23It's been a long night.
42:24Yeah, it has.
42:25Tossing and turning?
42:26A little bit.
42:27It's been a good search.
42:28There's been some
42:29that you've liked,
42:30a couple that you weren't keen on.
42:31The first property
42:32I took you into,
42:33you kept saying
42:34it was hard to beat.
42:35The big three bedroom,
42:36quite traditional.
42:38Very good value, actually.
42:40It was a good value.
42:41You loved the one in Ayia Thekla
42:43but it was just too small.
42:44Yeah.
42:45Yeah, downstairs in Ayia Thekla
42:46was perfect.
42:47It was just,
42:48when we got there
42:49it was lacking another bathroom.
42:50Yeah.
42:51So I sorted that problem for you
42:52with the place in Sila Fagu.
42:54Yeah, a bit overwhelming
42:55that one, wasn't it?
42:56I think, yeah,
42:57with the project that we said
42:58we was always thinking
42:59with a project
43:00we'd have to decorate,
43:01might knock a wall down
43:02and things like that.
43:03When we got inside
43:04the property was fantastic,
43:06I thought.
43:07But when you got outside
43:08and see what you had.
43:09A ball and green!
43:11I was like,
43:12what do you do with it?
43:13Who'd have thought?
43:14What do you want?
43:15What do you do?
43:16Did that turn out
43:17to be just a little bit
43:18too much for you?
43:19Yeah, I think so.
43:20When we put our thinking heads on.
43:22Yeah.
43:23Then there was the last property
43:24I showed you in Rosulis
43:25which,
43:26outside both of you
43:27you just had beaming smiles,
43:29great pool,
43:30massive property,
43:31enough bathrooms
43:32for everyone.
43:34It was our favourite
43:35by miles.
43:36It was stunning, yeah.
43:38Yeah.
43:39We wanted it so much
43:40but when we chatted
43:41about it last night
43:42it's just too far away
43:45for everyone else
43:46to come here.
43:47So...
43:49I think we've decided
43:50that Ayothekla
43:51would be our preferred area.
43:52Right, okay.
43:54We're coming back
43:55in a couple of months
43:56to have another look,
43:57aren't we?
43:58Okay.
43:59And I think we're going to
44:00try to get a few lined up
44:01but I think what you've showed us
44:03is what we can get inland
44:05which is fantastic.
44:06Yes.
44:07And what we can't get
44:09by the coast
44:10but it is a holiday home
44:12and we do lay by the pool
44:14most of the day
44:15and then go out
44:16every single night.
44:17Right, okay.
44:18And if you come in from there
44:19we worked out it was about
44:20seven, eight hundred euros
44:21a week for taxis.
44:22Wow.
44:23Even without a car
44:24because we want to go out
44:25and have a drink.
44:26We've always got a car,
44:27haven't we?
44:28I think we decided
44:29if we were buying
44:30from here
44:31it was there.
44:32That would have been the one?
44:33Right, okay.
44:34It's been great seeing you
44:35just discover
44:36what's important to you.
44:37That's the important thing
44:38for you two moving forward.
44:39Should we drink to that?
44:40Yeah, we will.
44:41Cheers.
44:42Cheers.
44:46It's been a great search
44:47with Karen and Richard
44:48and I'm happy
44:49I've shown them
44:50some properties
44:51they've really loved
44:52but it all came down
44:53to location.
44:54I have no doubt
44:55they will find
44:56their dream holiday home
44:57and I wish them
44:58all the luck in the world.
45:00Cheers.
45:01Cheers.
