Gill and Mick Bedson
Gill and Mick Bedson are looking for a place to buy in rural Suffolk. 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.
Gill and Mick Bedson sold their house a few years ago when Mick's job took him to India. Now they're back and looking for a place to buy in rural Suffolk with their budget of 450 thousand pounds. They want a three bedroom place with a big kitchen and enough land to grow vegetables and to raise chickens and pigs. Presenter Jules Hudson shows them how they could get just what they're looking for and make their money go further if they were to consider an empty property in need of work.
