House Hunters International Season 38 Episode 10 Settling Near Family in London

Sarah and Josh have spent most of their adult lives in the United States, but they both have family ties to the UK. After years of feeling homesick, they have decided to make the move to London to be closer to their loved ones. However, they face the daunting task of finding a place to live in one of the world's most expensive cities.

Sarah and Josh have a budget of around $1.5 million, but they quickly realize that this isn't going to get them the space they need in central London. They're willing to consider living in the suburbs and commuting into the city, but they're also wary of spending hours stuck in traffic each day.

Their first viewing is a spacious flat in a trendy part of East London, but the noise from the busy street outside is a dealbreaker for them. They then move on to a house in the London borough of Ealing, which offers them more space and a peaceful neighborhood. However, the lack of storage space in the house is a concern for them, especially as they're planning to start a family soon.

Next, Sarah and Josh view a stunning house in Amersham, a picturesque market town just outside London. The property offers them ample space and a lovely garden, but the commute into the city is longer than they had hoped. They then explore a house in the Kent village of West Malling, which is closer to their family but still offers them easy access to London. The property is dated and needs some work, but they're willing to put in the effort to make it their dream home.

Overall, Sarah and Josh face a tough decision between the convenience of living closer to the city and their loved ones, and the allure of a larger house and more peaceful location further out. They carefully weigh the pros and cons of each property before deciding on a place to call home in their beloved London.
