Relocation, Relocation - Season 5 Episode 10 Manchester and Hull
Kirstie's desperate to get Howard and Joanne into this fab house, but they're not completely sold. Will her pitch persuade them it's the house they want? Everyone would like a 'dream-sequence' sunnier existence where commuting is a thing of the past and the mortgage is minuscule. Relocation, Relocation has met a host of people and families who have done something about it, and this week Kirstie and Phil revisit one of their favourite success stories. Thirty-something lovebirds Howard Green and Joanna Holme were desperate for their own nest together. He was a wild holiday rep enjoying sun, sea and other things beginning with 's'. She fell for him on a well-deserved break. Howard was so enamoured that he decided to abandon his wild ways and opt for a desk job near Manchester. Unfortunately, Joanna lived nearly an hour and a half away, with her parents in Cumbria. So they came up with a bold plan to buy a home together north of Manchester. But that wasn't all they wanted. Howard lost £20,000 on a stock market crash and his retirement was looking to be pretty cash-strapped so he wanted to buy a nice little rentable flat in Hull. And they wanted both properties for £190,000. Kirstie and Phil went all-out to find Howard and Joanne a perfect place that married the convenience of a town with a true Lancashire rural setting. But two years on what's been happening? Kids? A wedding? Big home improvements? What is life like for this fab couple and is there anything Kirstie and Phil can do to help?
