Amanda Lamb helped Fiona and Mike find their dream French townhouse in 2007 and now she is back to see how the house has been transformed and how the family are enjoying the French lifestyle. Laura Hamilton heads to Mojacar to catchup with Lynne and Chris who bought their perfect holiday home with a budget of £100,000 in 2018.
Lorraine, France
Fiona and Mike
Budget: £80,000
Date of house purchase: Summer 2007
Fiona and Mike were looking for a 3 bedroom holiday home with traditional features and a garden in Lorraine, France, with a budget of £80,000. 16 years ago Amanda Lamb helped them find their home from home–and the property that caught their eye was a definite doer upper and needed quite a bit of work. Now she’s back to see the result of all the renovations to the house and the garden. And Amanda gets to visit one of their favourite places-Obernai, a really well-preserved medieval town from the 13th century.
Mojacar, Spain
Lynne and Chris
Budget: £100,000
Date of house purchase: 2018
Back in 2018 Lynn and Chris were looking for their perfect two bedroom holiday home near the beach with plenty of outside space. Laura Hamilton gave them a real dilemma with 3 strong favourites, but after consulting with their children they all agreed on buying the final property they saw-even though the décor wasn’t quite to their taste. Now 5 years later Laura is back in Mojacar to have a look around and see what changes they have made. Plus they head out to one of their favourite bars along the promenade for a refreshing drink!
