- June 11, 2012
World Travellers Settle Down Near Family in London, England is the 120th episode of the 25th season of the popular television show, House Hunters International. In this episode, we travel with seasoned world travellers, Charlie and Laura, as they make the tough decision to settle down and buy their first home in London, England.
Charlie and Laura have travelled extensively and have lived in a variety of countries, including France and Australia. However, they have decided that it's time to put down roots closer to their family who live in London. They are looking for a home that not only satisfies their desire for adventure and travel but is also big enough to accommodate their growing family.
The first property they view is a charming, Victorian conversion in the trendy neighbourhood of Hackney. The flat is situated on a quiet, tree-lined street and boasts a spacious, open plan living area and two double bedrooms. Charlie and Laura love the character features of the property, including the large sash windows and original fireplace. However, they are put off by the lack of outdoor space, particularly as they have a young child who loves to play outside.
The second property they view is a modern and stylish apartment in the vibrant neighbourhood of Brixton. The apartment is on the top floor of a new development and offers panoramic views of the London skyline. The property has two double bedrooms, and the living area is flooded with natural light. Charlie and Laura are impressed by the spacious balcony, which overlooks a communal garden. However, they are concerned about the lack of storage space, which is crucial for their family's needs.
The third and final property they view is a beautiful, Victorian terraced house in the leafy neighbourhood of Wimbledon. The house has three bedrooms, plenty of storage space and a large, private garden. Charlie and Laura are thrilled with the potential the property offers, but they are apprehensive about the cost of renovating the house to their liking.
Throughout the episode, we see Charlie and Laura grappling with the decision of which property to choose and the challenges that come with buying a home in a new country. Alongside their property hunting, Charlie will be starting a new job, and Laura is busy caring for their young child. We see them navigate the fast-paced lifestyle of London and the cultural differences they face while settling into their new home.
In the end, Charlie and Laura must weigh up all the pros and cons, including location, outdoor space, storage, and price, to make their final decision. But no matter which property they choose, watching them go through this exciting and nerve-wracking time is a fascinating insight into the world of international property buying, and the complex decisions and trade-offs that come with finding the perfect home.
