The new series continues, as we catch up with house-hunters who bought their perfect place abroad. Laura Hamilton catches up with Gilly and Jane at their holiday home in the Dordogne that they bought back in 2016. Known as the land of a thousand chateaux, the Dordogne boasts hundreds of vineyards and charming traditional towns and villages, enlivened with no fewer than 30 festivals a year. Armed with £100k, Gilly and Jane's search got off to a slow start, but they were eventually blown away by the blue shutters they craved on a traditional stone cottage. Seven years on, Laura's back to see what they've done to the place, before they all go on a brocante treasure hunt! Meanwhile, Leah Charles-King returns to Islantilla in southern Spain, to see how Steve and Carrie are getting on at the sunny home that they bought in 2021. Home to a stunning white sand beach and surrounded by natural beauty, there's also plenty to do in Islantilla, and the town itself is steeped in local culture and history, with relics from its Moorish and Roman past. As Carrie and Steve's search got underway, Carrie struggled to find 'the feeling' she was after, until they saw an over-budget townhouse with gorgeous kerb appeal. Kicking everything else to the kerb, their budget-busting offer was accepted... eventually! Now, Leah's back with Carrie, while Steve attends commitments at home, to see how they've made it a true home-from-home, before they take in the local sights on a boat trip.

The new series continues, as we catch up with house-hunters who bought their perfect place abroad. Jasmine Harman revisits Janice and Steven who made the permanent move to Estepona on the Costa del Sol back in 2017. With its traditional Andalucian charm, cosmopolitan Estepona boasts a lovely promenade, 13 miles of beaches and oodles of amenities. Janice and Steven's search got off to a great start with a firm first option, then toppled by a townhouse and a third property that had Janice reaching for her chequebook as they got their dream place within their £150k budget. Now, Jasmine returns to see what changes they've made and how retirement in Spain is treating them, and to enjoy a spot of bowling at their local club. Meanwhile, Sara Damergi catches up with Suzi and Andrew at their barn in Charente that they snapped up in 2021. Named after the river that runs through it, the Charente region offers peace, quiet and beautiful countryside in abundance, alongside quintessentially French towns and villages with quaint shops. After stumbling at the first hurdle, Suzi and Andrew took to a house with a veg patch. But that wasn't a patch on what was to come... a beautifully converted barn that won them over. After their cheeky offer was rejected, and a couple of days of negotiating a new offer, they eventually sealed the deal, within their £310k budget. Now, Sara's back to see how Suzi and Andrew are getting on and what changes they've made, before lending a hand around the grounds and taking a bike ride on an abandoned railway line.
