There are nearly a million properties lying empty in the UK just waiting for someone to come along to make them homes again. Jules Hudson reveals the great potential vacant places for sale can offer buyers in terms of budget and lifestyle, while the work of the nation's Empty Property Officers explores what's being done to get the thousands of houses that lie abandoned and neglected across the country back into use. And we hear from the people who've rescued wrecks and transformed them into beautiful homes again. Lynda Grey is on the hunt for a new home to buy in Yorkshire. Since she successfully sold her home a couple of months ago she's living in rented accommodation with her youngest daughter Becky. Lynda is looking for a place to do up to call their own again. She has a budget of 450 thousand pounds and wants a house that will give them sociable open-plan living and their own space too. Presenter Jules Hudson wants to show her how an empty property could readily be transformed to suit their needs and budget.
