Series 3: 1. Wye Valley
Jonnie Irwin visits the Wye Valley, where he is reunited with two of his house-buying couples. First he meets his recent escapees who snapped up the country home he showed them for their £650,000 budget. Jonnie discovers their plans for their hilltop property and their glamping business ambitions.\n\nLater, he catches up with his buyers from five years ago, who spent their £400,000 on one of the properties they viewed together. Jonnie is impressed by the decorative changes they have made and, while sitting for the community art group, sees the fulfilling lifestyle they are enjoying during retirement.
