In this episode of House Hunters International, titled "Moving For Matrimony," we follow a couple as they search for their new home in Barcelona, Spain. The soon-to-be newlyweds, Amy and Simon, have been living in London for the past five years, but are now getting married and want to start fresh in a new country.
Amy and Simon have different priorities when it comes to their new home. Simon is looking for a spacious and modern apartment with a balcony or terrace where they can entertain guests, while Amy wants a more traditional and cozy flat with plenty of natural light and character.
Their real estate agent, Alma from the Engel & Volkers agency, takes them to see several properties throughout the city that meet their respective needs. The first flat they visit is a sleek and modern apartment in the trendy neighborhood of El Born. The open-plan living area boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and a large balcony overlooking the bustling streets below. While Simon is impressed by the modern amenities and minimalist design, Amy feels that the space lacks personality and character.
Next, Alma takes them to see a traditional flat in the charming neighborhood of Gracia. The apartment is located in a historic building and features beautiful period details such as exposed brick walls and high ceilings with wooden beams. Amy loves the vintage charm of the space, but Simon is hesitant about the lack of modern amenities and the smaller living areas.
As they continue their search, Amy and Simon also consider more suburban areas outside of the city center. They visit a spacious and bright apartment in the quiet residential area of Sarria. The flat boasts a large terrace with a stunning view of the city skyline and plenty of space for outdoor entertaining. However, the couple is concerned about the longer commute to work from this area and the lack of nearby restaurants and shops.
Throughout their search, Amy and Simon also have to navigate the challenges of buying property in a new country, including language barriers and different real estate laws and customs. They must also balance their individual tastes and preferences with the reality of their budget and practical needs.
In the end, the couple must make a tough decision between a modern apartment in the city center or a more traditional flat in a charming neighborhood. With Alma's guidance and their own careful consideration, Amy and Simon must choose the perfect home to start their new life together in Barcelona.
