Manchester

Pav's job in Manchester starts in just a few months, so this pair need to find a home fast. The budget for the main home is £280,000 - and right at the top of the list is that it must be 'quirky', with 'wow factor'. Ideally, it should have three bedrooms - and for garden-loving Mickael, some outside space would definitely be a bonus.

The second search is purely for investment. Pav has £140,000 to spend and for that he's hoping for a three bedroom house in a good student or family area, with strong rental potential.

But the search is hampered by Pav's fussy nature and extreme first-time buyer's nerves. Can Phil and Kirstie turn their dream into a reality, despite Pav's fears, or will leaving their whole life behind in London just prove too much for this couple?
