Lytham St Annes v South Brittany

Joan and Barry Manville are downsizing from their family home of 17 years in Bolton. But they are completely torn on where to buy their new home. Joan wants to remain in the UK and move to the seaside resort of Lytham St Annes to be closer to her family and friends, but Barry is looking for a new adventure in the beautiful countryside of Southern Brittany. Laura Hamilton pulls out all the stops to keep them in the UK with a budget of £125,000, while Jonnie Irwin does everything he can to impress Joan to buy in France with three charming properties up to £65,000.
