[Begin episode description]
In this episode of House Hunters International, a US couple, Angelica and Devin, are embarking on a new adventure in Loughborough, England. The couple, who have been married for a few years, have always talked about living abroad and experiencing a new culture. When Devin's job offered him a transfer to the UK, they seized the opportunity and moved across the pond.
Angelica and Devin are thrilled about the move, but they are also a bit apprehensive as they have never been to Loughborough before. They are starting from scratch and they want to make sure they find the perfect home that suits their lifestyle. Angelica is a freelance writer and content manager, so she needs a quiet work-space at home. Devin works in the finance industry and wants to be close to public transport to commute to work in the city.
The couple meets with their real estate agent, Jenny, who shows them a few options within their budget of £650 per month. They start with a two-bedroom apartment located in the city centre. The apartment is beautifully decorated, fully-furnished and in a prime location. However, the rent is above their budget and the couple would have to compromise on space. The second option is a three-bedroom house located in the outskirts of the city. The house is spacious, has a garden and is within their budget. However, the location is not ideal as it is far from public transportation and the city centre.
As they continue their search, Angelica and Devin feel discouraged and start to doubt if they will find the right home for them. However, Jenny shows them a gorgeous two-bedroom townhouse located in the heart of Loughborough. The home has been recently renovated, has a lot of natural light and a room for Angelica to work from home. The location is perfect, within walking distance to restaurants, shops and public transportation. They fall in love with the home and decide to put an offer in.
After a few negotiations, the couple is able to secure the townhouse for £625 per month. They are thrilled and excited to move in and start their new life in Loughborough. We catch up with the couple a few months later as they give us a tour of their new home. Angelica loves her workspace and is inspired by the new surroundings. Devin has adjusted to life in the UK and enjoys the slower pace of life in Loughborough. They have made friends in the neighbourhood and are loving life in their new home.
This episode of House Hunters International showcases the challenges and excitement of moving to a new country. It teaches us to keep an open mind and to trust the process. No matter how daunting it may seem, with a little help from an expert, you can find the perfect home that suits your lifestyle.
