Expats Andrew and Anouchka are currently living in Sweden, but with their second child on the way, they're planning a move back to east Scotland to be nearer to family. Having lived in coastal cities in Australia for a large part of her life, Anouchka would love to move back by the sea. However, Scottish-born Andrew prefers the Fife countryside, where he spent many a happy childhood holiday with his grandparents. Coastal property expert Kerr Drummond will be trying to convince them that their budget of £500,000 will be better spent by the sea, while country advocate Kirsty Duffy wants to prove they'll get much more for their money further inland.

Best friends and neighbours Malika and Steven are leaving west London for a new life in Cumbria. They've decided to pool their budgets and buy a property together, but they're torn on where it should be. Steven longs to live in a traditional seaside town, but Moroccan-born Malika desperately wants to experience the quintessential British countryside. Property expert Kirsty Duffy impresses them with some picturesque country properties in the Lake District, while coastal lover Kerr Drummond fights back with some jaw-dropping houses by the sea. So will it be a victory for Coast or Country?
