Britain's Empty Homes - Denise and David Fox

There are nearly a million properties lying empty in the UK waiting for someone to come along to turn them into homes again. In this brand new series, Jules Hudson reveals the great potential vacant places can offer in terms of budget and lifestyle. We follow the work of the nation's Empty Property Officers whose job it is to get buildings sitting abandoned and neglected back into use as homes again. And we'll see how rescued wrecks have been transformed into beautiful homes again. Empty-nesters Denise and David Fox have sold the family home and want to up-sticks from Sutton Coldfield and downsize to a rural haven somewhere in Gloucestershire. They are hoping their 395 thousand pounds will be enough to get them their ideal place with enough land for David to have a workshop. Presenter Jules Hudson shows them how, if they were to consider a vacant house ripe for transformation, they could make their money go further and obtain the house of their dreams.
