So they're selling their house, cashing in on the capital's property prices and shipping out of the hustle and bustle for a quieter life. Well, kind of! They want a family home on the Hertfordshire-Essex border and, in order to keep their foot (and hearts!) in both camps, they also want an investment pad in the East End of London. But they've got a long list of wants and don't-wants for the family home in prime commuterville on a budget of £600,000. This then leaves them with £220,000 for an investment property in the Olympic heartland of East London. The couple dream of perfection (don't they all?), but when perfection means a different thing to each of them can they ever settle on any property? If anyone can help them do it, Kirstie and Phil can.
