Cheltenham and Aude, France

Jonnie Irwin and Jasmine Harman help Penny and Mark with a tough dilemma.

They've been battling with the decision to move to France for years, but with a slow UK housing market and low exchange rate they have seen their budget drastically reduced. So do they buy at home or spend their £400,000 budget away?

The pressure's on to find the best place for value for money and to raise a family: will it be Cheltenham or France?
