Episode 9: Sarah McGill and Charlie Fuller

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Joe Crowley meets Sarah McGill and her fiancé Charlie Fuller who recently got engaged and are now on the hunt for a unique living space to call home. They have considered pubs and boats - and are determined to find something that stands out from the crowd.

Joe shows Sarah a Belgian Minesweeper that has lain empty on the Medway river for six years. And to illustrate how successfully boats can be transformed into family homes Joe introduces her to Hannah Cash who lives with her family onboard their beautiful houseboat.

Plus, we find out how a housing cooperative has found a way of giving people a second chance using derelict homes and we join one of the UK's empty property officers on his mission to rescue abandoned dwellings. Show less
