Karen and John Newman
With the arrival of son Joshua, Karen and John Newman have outgrown their home. Jules Hudson shows them how far their budget could go if they considered buying an empty property.
There are nearly a million properties lying empty in the UK just waiting for someone to come along to make them homes again. Jules Hudson reveals the great potential vacant places for sale can offer buyers in terms of budget and lifestyle, while the work of the nation's Empty Property Officers explores what's being done to get the thousands of houses that lie abandoned and neglected across the country back into use. And we hear from the people who've rescued wrecks and transformed them into beautiful homes again.
Karen and John Newman bought their first home in Warwickshire five years ago, and set about making it perfect for them. But now, with the arrival of their son Joshua, they've outgrown the place and are up for a new challenge. Presenter Jules Hudson wants to show them how their budget of 230 thousand pounds could go far if they were to consider an empty property to make their own.
