Andrew and Claire

The House That 拢100k Built Series 2
Episode 3 of 14

Following people trying to build a house on less than 拢100k. Andrew and Claire have ditched their 9-to-5 lives and gambled everything on a free-range egg farm.

Andrew and Claire have ditched their nine-to-five lives and gambled everything on a fledgling free-range egg farm - but having overspent just to get the business going, they are still missing one vital piece of the puzzle - a family home.

They've managed to borrow 拢70k against the farm and have plans to build a basic chalet-style bungalow. Kieran is concerned they'll end up with little more than a larger version of the static caravan they are desperate to move out of! He takes Andrew and Claire to see a modern farmhouse in Suffolk to see how the materials they choose to build their home from, and even the colours they choose, can help it feel rooted on the farm.

Piers challenges them to bring their own personality into their home, encouraging them to stop building and start designing. He encourages them to do away with predictable finishes. Inside he helps them experiment with a low-cost answer to built-in furniture which is a fraction of the cost of bespoke joinery.

But they are both much-needed savings because as the build progresses Andrew and Claire hit serious financial difficulties. Suddenly they are forced to fund the build from credit cards and personal - will they end up with a home at all?
